Need Single Print Option to Print Modules with all sub panel modules

[anandece1]

Hi all ,
I have created 10 custom modules and i've related it with one another module. Where the list view of all the 10 modules displays in the related modules details view. But the thing is that when i click on print, its printing only the module and it leaves the sub panel modules . I need the sub panel modules also to get print along with the related module.. Can you pls come out with ur solutions/suggestions.... Looking fwd for ur kind reply ...

There is another relevant posting here at the end which is using ZuckerReports for this.

A few questions:

On the print should you be able to select what subpanels you want to include in the print, and what about data filtering? Currently in Sugar you only show 20 entries in a subpanel (or 10) depending on the configuration under admin and config.php. What is you have 100 entries

- should they all be shown?
- should there be any filter applied?

"You might be better served by using one of the various web page capture extensions available for Firefox and Chrome. They will usually capture the full length of the page for you and you can then print it. "

I know this is not actually implementing this into sugarcrm, however as the previous post mentioned there are addons that will be able to handle some of this.

Alternatively it is changing most likely more than one core sugar file making the hack non upgrade safe (meaning next time you upgrade Sugar you will loose the functionality or it might mess up your installation)

I can make a hack like this however please consider the questions I have posted in one of the previous postings.

1. Should you be able to configure what subpanels are part of the print?
2. Should you be able to filter content in subpanels based on modified date (data cutoff filter)?
3. How many entries should be shown in each subpanel on print?
4. Should it be configurable the amount of entries to show in subpanel on print view?
5. What version of SugarCrm are you running?
6. What edition of SugarCrm are you running? (I will only make hacks for CE)

(please note that this is not me agreeing to make the hack, I am still considering the amount of work involved based on your answers above)

If you create a custom view.detail.config.php file for your module you can make it show the subpanels when printing. Simply 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 easy and upgrade safe.

I really like www.printwhatyoulike.com for customizing the output of a webpage.

They have a bookmarklet which you might be able to simulate with a button press.
