Print View
Most of the time, you can just print Querki pages, and they will work as you want. But in some
cases, you may want to print a Thing differently from how you look at it on the page -- you may want
to show different fields, summarize differently, and so on. When that is the case, add the Print View
Property. This is another Large Text, and works very much like Default View, but will only be used for
printing.
Important: the Print View will only be used when you select Print... from the Querki Actions menu;
it will not be used if you say Print Page or something like that from the browser itself. This is a
technical limitation of browsers that is difficult to work around. So if you want to use Print View,
print from the Actions menu.
Advanced: To make printing look exactly like you want, you may need to fiddle with CSS. The Print
View will be wrapped in the class "_printView", so you can use ._printView in CSS to define styles that
only happen in the Print View.
To hide the page headers and footers, you can do something like this:
@media print {
@page {
margin-top: 0mm;
margin-bottom: 0mm;
}
body {
padding-top: 0.25in;
padding-bottom: 0.25in;
}
}
Unfortunately, there is currently no consistent way to control the headers and footers the way you
would like. This is a browser limitation, which hopefully will one day get fixed.
