Downloading/Printing Threads

Hello!

I wondered if there was a way of downloading or easily printing threads?

I know that on another forum *cough* you can download a thread into word... thought it would be nice to be able to print out my GL thread or Report with all the comments.

Thanks.

Ditto,

I have started threads and would love to save the responses in Word, this would be really useful.

Any ideas?

Hi,

We think its very good idea.  I think we can find away to make each page print nicely (or export to word) but we need to find think about how we can easily get all the posts on one page.  I dont want to overload the server if the thread is 14 pages long with loads of images.

Cheers

Does that mean you're going to look in to it and is there a time frame, please?

WSS - I want to print my report and good luck thread for my keepsake box!

Mrs C, it was 16 days from you asking to getting a response so you've probably got until 16th July before finding out. Take a break in the meantime, maybe soak up some sun. Mañana, mañana...

This is very true... I shall kick back and wait patiently with a cocktail or two...

You just need to sort a "print" CSS file out that removes images, and sorts the layout out niceley for printing

No drain on the server at all - it is sent to the users browser (usually once) and when the user prints, the browser uses the alternate CSS file for print layout rendering

If you want ALL the posts on one page, then you just need to add a new versioon of the post display page that doesnt paginate, and apply a similar CSS file

Hi,

As per your requests we have improved the print functionality.  First of all you can use the change view button at the top to see all posts in your Good Luck thread on one page and then when you print we have removed a lot of the unneeded info from the page.

Hope this helps - comments welcome as always
