URL and Stylesheet
Quick question about urls and stylesheets.
Let’s say that I have an article “A” in “section a” with stylesheet “a”. Now I want to create a link, that opens article “A” with stylesheet “g” instead, ignoring the standard stylesheet for “A” section. Is there any way to do that?
The reason for my question is that I want to add a link to each article that lead to new page showing a print layout of the article in question.
Thanks,
pepebe
P.S. I don’t want to insult anybody here, but this is nagging me for quite a long time and so I have to say it: The search function in this forum s****! Really. I’m either too dumb to use the “advanced search” feature properly or it just isn’t “advanced” enough for my humble needs. Example: As far as I understand there is no way to search for a word or expression in a threads subject. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to search for the word stylesheet in the subject of postings? I’m sure it wound cut down search time (and therefore querries) by half…

Re: URL and Stylesheet
I know you found the php answer but would the txp one work for you?

Re: URL and Stylesheet
Greetings colak
<txp:if_article_id> ? I don’t understand what are you aiming for. I’m curious, please explain.
Thanks, pepebe

Re: URL and Stylesheet
pepebe, colak is just misunderstanding your question, methinks :) <txp:if_article_id> has nothing to do with the case.
But with the help of rah_if_gps we get:
<txp:rah_if_gps att="style" val="print">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/print.css" media="all" />
<txp:else />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/default.css" media="all" />
</txp:rah_if_gps>And then we could access print styled page by linking it with ?style=print (or adding that end of the URL). In example <a href="?style=print">View print version</a>
Hope that helps :P

Re: URL and Stylesheet
Um… why not use media=“print” in the style sheet, so the user can do CTRL+P to print the page in the correct print style while still viewing using the normal style in the browser?

Possibly because the idea is to provide page that looks like paper/pdf/A4 ;) – with pressing the link it opens the page inside the default browser window and doesn’t send it to the printer.

Re: URL and Stylesheet
Your right Gocom. I was also thinking about different print layouts you could choose from.
Of course pdf, but also
- Full color print
- Optimized for grayscale
- With/Without images
- Perhaps even different paper formats
More ideas?
It’s just an idea right now, but personaly I prefer to have things on good old paper. It’s more reliable and you can take it with you to the bathroom, to the subway, etc.
Pen and paper addict that I am, I would be happy to have the choice.
