PRINT 1.0.4 and CMSMS 1.7.1 PRINT PDF is not working

[jazzbüro]

well, as all posts here in the forum dealing with the PDF-Printing do not deliver a solution to the problem and as this is a big problem for me before going public, I start a new thread here

We already discussed in the german forum but could not find a solution, so now here in the product support forum:

I cannot get PDF-Printing to print out the content of the page
I tried in two different installations and got that problem

- PDF is generated
- Header is printed out
- no real content in the PDF, just the title, so if the page is "News", "News" is printed below the header
- the PDF is 505 k big, what for sure is too much for a nearly empty page

1) It did not work in 1.6.5, it does not work in 1.7.1

2) I used the standard print-template :

Code: Select all

<h1>{$title}</h1>
{$content}

3) PDF-support is enabled, PDF-Header is defined:

Code: Select all

Der monatliche Konzertkalender des Jazzbüros Hamburg

Stylesheet-overwriting is not activated,  the standard-stylesheet is set to "All" (media)

4)

Code: Select all

{print text="Diese Seite als PDF speichern" pdf="true" showbutton="true"}

5)

Code: Select all

allow_url_include	On
register_globals	Off

6) I even bought the CMS-Made-Simple-16-Beginners-Guide-eBook, because I expected some indepth-information on PDF-printing there, without succes

7) I tested including the tag in the template as well as in a page. It always gets the same result = No content

as the generated PDF is too big to attacht it here, a link to an uploaded version: www.webdeerns.de/temp/News.pdf
 

which other information do you need?

I am astonished that I get no answer at all here and no help.

So I run my own tests.

The result in general:

if you do a fresh install in a blank environement, Printing and PDF-Printing is working.

If you do an upgrade, the functionality is broken.
Attention:
I followed all steps for upgrading like described here:http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/User_Handbook/Installation/Upgrading

So, this is a bug. You can see two installations:
a fresh and new one at http://www.portachtzigachtzig.de

the updated version at http://www.webdeerns.de/klugemaedchen/index.php/tags-2/veroeffentlichte-tags/print-und-print-pdf, which was upgraded from 1.5.4 to 1.7.1

So please tell me what to do to get the functionality back!!!

Did you try uninstall and install Printing module after upgrade?
vilkis

[jazzbüro]

yes,

I did some times. At www.webdeerns.de/klugemaedchen, where I did the upgrade,

I ran this procedure:

- uninstall the module
- clear the general cache
- close CMSMS
- clear the browser cache
- delete the printing-module by FTP
- upload printing module
- login in CMSMS
- activate the plugin
- open the website
- clear the browser's cache again
- test the print-buttons

I did this procedure with
- the module from the full 1.7.1 version
- the module from the full 1.7  version
-the module from  1.6.6
- the module from 1.5.4

I got different results from the different versions as documented here in the german board: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,45166.15.html

Greg,

as I have the same problem I checked the URL which you sent as an answer above, but could not find a solution.

1) At my host, there was no upgrade by Diffs, the complete 1.7.1 was uploaded
2) at my host, allow_url_fopen = On

I asked jazzbüro (which is not allowed to post here anymore) by mail and got the answer that at that server, allow_url_fopen = On as well and, as described above, there was also a complete 1.7.1 copy-over-update

did I miss your message?
