Date, username and pagination

    Thanks very much for providing this plugin – does a great job on my site!

    The support issue:
    I would like each printed page to include the current date (local) and the WP user-name in the footer, how is that do-able?

    I have a search page which can hold up to 40 lines of given search result – if more than 40 is provided then I get a pagination for the remaining lines; any ideas for including all the lines split in to X-number of printed pages?

    Thanks very much.

    Hey, good question!

    Normally the page title, date and page number are part of the ‘headers and footers’ option in the print dialogue box. However if you wanted to force-print this info, read on.

    Pagination:
    We did a quick google search and it seems it’s a simple solution that can be implemented using CSS. Check it out:

    https://www.princexml.com/doc/9.0/page-numbers/

    Date:
    you could enter this info in a div on the page, and then have that info visible only on the print page. However, since you probably want this info on EVERY print page, you would have to do something a bit more tricky.

    Username:
    The only way to insert this data is 1) to ensure the user is logged in and 2) modify the plugin to accept a placeholder for this info. This would be quite advanced.

    The good news is that if you would like us to build this into our pro version—print-pro-matic—we would be happy to assist you as part of the next-level personalized support that comes with the pro version.

    Sounds like a fun challenge!

    Hi,

    Thnaks very much for feedback and proposal; I’ll give the pro a look.

    Around the same topic. In the header html I have this code:

    <H3 style=”margin: 0 20px 10px 0;”><font color=”#009421;”>GNSLogo</H3>

    “GNS” comes out nicely, but the logo image just comes out as an empty box. What am I missing?

    Another question: Can I replace the plugin printer icon to one of my own (maintaining a certain styling for the site)?

    Thanks again.

    Regarding the logo image, it is not clear what you are referring to. there is no image in the example you provided.

    The printer icon can be changed via CSS, but this is a built option in with collapse-pro-matic.

    maybe it would be more helpful if you provided a link to your page?

    Hi,

    Unfortunately I’m not able to give you a link, since it’s running on a local machine, until launch.
    Reg. the logo, the issue that I’m only seeing a square box, where the logo-image is supposed to be; no image.
    So – the image is sitting in the standard WP media directory – and my question is, what is the correct syntax for including it – this is what I have now (shortened to explain):

    …. style=”margin: 0 20px -10px 0;”><font color=”#009421;”>GNSGNS logo….

    which doesn’t work reg. the logo insert.

    Not sure I understand – how can you replace the printer icon, by CSS?

    Thanks again ??

    when you post code here in the forum, try wrapping it in the code tag.
    See that button above the editor that says code? That one.

    Sure, no problem. When I did send it it looked OK.

    This is a code-example which just displays an empty image box 48x48px. What am I missing?

    <H3 style="margin: 0 20px -10px 0;"><font color="#009421;">GNS <img src="https://gns.dk/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/GNS-logo.png" width="48" height="48" alt="GNS logo" align="right";></H3>

    Hope that helped ??

    Thanks.

    the problem is that the URL to your image:

    https://gns.dk/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/GNS-logo.png

    points to file not found.
    Are you sure this is the correct URL for your image?

    Did you get this issue resolved?

    Hello,

    The issue around Logo is kind of “solved” – the URL was OK, but for some unknown reason the logo would not appear due to perhaps a margin issue on the page. I re-did the top of the page – and now the logo is there know, but…?
    I’ll leave it at that for now.

    Pagination – I need to investigate further, the links you provided might be helpful.

    Regarding Date and Username on the print – I’m still looking for a solution, so please kick in if there’s a trick?

    Thanks ??

    for date and username, your best bet would be to include this on the page as part of your template. Then you can make it a print-only element so it’s hidden on the display page, or both display it and print it.

    This is a bit advanced, as you’ll need to work with your page template, or maybe there are some shortcodes out there that will display this info on the page.

    If you would like us to help set something like that up for you, you might consider upgrading to Print-Pro-Matic.
