CMS Made Simple Forums

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 : 3) PDF-support is enabled, PDF-Header is defined: Stylesheet-overwriting is not activated,  the standard-stylesheet is set to "All" (media)

4) 5) 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

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?
