hi, thanks for ur extension.

i want ask how to show the background (color or picture) at printing result? i tried to give background at my view.php, but there was blank result.

or Maybe must change the mprint.css file?

thanks for your answer

Thanks harits

I think your concern is the same with this comment. As of this writing, I can't find a way yet to include the background of the page/element to be printed. Actually, I haven't done enough research about this. Not that I'm not interested in enhancing this, but mainly because my hands are tied with my real life projects.

My apologies for the inconvenience.

Just in case you found a way, kindly let me know and I'll be more than willing to upgrade our extension.

First of all, great extenstion, thanx.
Now some thought on multiple prints in one page, aka reaction to this comment.
if we fix the 284th line like suggested

Quote

Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript('processPrint'.$this->id, '

we have to specify different id's for each and every call of widget, because it is set to default id='mprint' when you not set one, and you end up with non working scenario.
here is example, how it could work, with two links to parts of page that can be printed

<?php
$this->breadcrumbs=array(
	'Report Package'=>array('/reportPackage'),
	'Print',
);?>

 <?php
       $this->widget('ext.mPrint.mPrint', array(
            'id' => 'mprint1',  // !!!you have to set up this one if you want multiple prints per page
            'title' => 'Some title for page',        //the title of the document. Defaults to the HTML title
            'tooltip' => 'testing the print',    //tooltip message of the print icon. Defaults to 'print'
            'text' => 'Print table 1 - Some name of table', //text which will appear beside the print icon. Defaults to NULL
            'element' => '#printable1',      //the element to be printed.
            'exceptions' => array(     //the element/s which will be ignored
                '.summary',
                '.search-form'
            ),
            'publishCss' => true       //publish the CSS for the whole page?
        ));
  ?>

<div id="printable1">   <!-- this is where you specify name of section you want to print -->
    <center>
    <h3> Some table name</h3>

<div id="printable2">   <!-- this is where you specify name of section you want to print -->
    <h3>Evidencia o obaloch</h3>

       <tr> 
         <td> some table
         </td>
       </tr>
    </table>
    
</div>

I think it would be good idea to apply that fix in source, and provide some info on multiple prints with it

Thanks lugaru

Basically, what you need to do is to trigger the "click" event of your mprint link. I tried doing something like

'linkOptions'=>array('onclick'=>'javascript: $("#div-to-be-printed").click()')

but the quotations are being encoded so it appears in the page lik

<li><a onclick="javascript: $(&quot;#div-to-be-printed&quot;).trigger(&quot;click&quot;);" href="#">Print</a></li>

and does not work.

So what I did was I created a triggering function:

<script type="text/javascript">
function trigger_click(){
	$("#div-to-be-printed").trigger("click");
}
</script>

and then in my menu I put:

 array('label' => 'Print', 'url' => '#', 'linkOptions'=>array('onclick'=>'javascript: trigger_click()'))

and it worked.

I'm not a jquery expert, but I hope I have given you an idea.

Edit:
Just to be clear, the 'div-to-be-printed' is the 'id' of the mprint's print link.

Problem with CSS and element to be printed


Hi,

I am having a problem:

When I specify the element to be printed ('element'=>'.pview1',), the output ignores the CSS file settings. If I do not specify the element to be printed, the CSS settings are observed but of course, the whole page is printed.

I do not specify cssFile in the parameters so the default is being used (mprint.css) I added my own settings to this file.

Can anyone help me? Thanks
