Printing - How tp print entire screen, including subpanels?

[bperciac]

I have a strange use case for Sugar, and need the ability to print a page including the subpanels for reporting, etc. Right now, the Print function only includes the top section including customizations, but not the subpanels. I cannot find where to download SugarPrint, so I am trying to reach out to the community and find out what you all are doing. To date, I have been printing the actual page, including the headers, navigation tabs, etc, but this does not look good for the use I need.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Bob

Anyone know where the print function is located?

Hi Bob,

In Sugar 4.5.1 series, the print button would print out the entire detail view including the subpanels. The physical printout looks a lot better now in 5.0, however it does not seem to include the subpanels anymore. This would require a code change to print with the subpanels.

Sugarcane,

Thanks for the feedback, but I think that this is critical for reporting, etc. How else is one supposed to print the history of an account? In my case, I need to have this available to give to the account - and having the list of other accessed accounts at the top of the screen print is problematic to turn on and off as printing to PDF is needed.

I would hope that this would be included as a requested, high-need change!

Thanks,

bob

Does anyone have an idea about this issue? It would be extremely important to me. My users are old fashion. They need to have a printed version.

Hi All

This would be a welcome solution for our business too. It seems SugarPrint would help but cant find where to download it.

You spammers are so full of crap.

Anyway, this requires a change in the view.config.php file, see developer documentation for upgrade-safe way customization.

Hi all,

I also fetched same problem, please help us.

SugarDev.net is right. You need to customize the view.config.php. Here is how I was able to do that:

Copy the file

include/MVC/View/views/view.config.php
to
custom/modules/<yourmodule>/views/view.detail.config.php (note that the name changes to view.detail.config.php).

Edit the file and in the 'req_params' array under 'print' change 'show_subpanels' from false to true.

This is upgrade safe.
