Re: [xwiki-users] Printing pages as displayed
These are excellent instructions. Thanks. I will give it a try next week and will report back. If anyone else has any input about the other issues, I'd be most grateful.

Re: [xwiki-users] Printing pages as displayed
Hi Clemens Thanks for the response. This should work, unless you have secured the wiki in the adminstration with the "black checkboxes" preventing any anonymous access, independent of view rights. Unfortunately this is exactly what I have. It's important that even if users have access to our LAN, only authenticated users can view the documents. Interestingly, if I use the default skin style.css then it works fine. In the meantime, I have cheated and replaced style.css in /usr/lib/xwiki/skins/flamingo I am assuming I need to create my own skin folder and not use the skin app (though to be completely honest, I am a bit confused which is the recommended way).

If you want your skin customizations visible on the login page, too, then you need to make sure the anonymous user can view the page with the modifications. Giving the XWikiAllGroup view permisisons is not enough, but you are in the right place; if you look at the top of of the list showing all groups and their permission, you should find a button to switch from groups to users - there you can give the "anonymous user" view rights, too.

Re: [xwiki-users] Printing pages as displayed
Hi Mahomed, I just know an answer about the last one ... I hope the rest will be answered by others. If you want your skin customizations visible on the login page, too, then you need to make sure the anonymous user can view the page with the modifications. Giving the XWikiAllGroup view permisisons is not enough, but you are in the right place; if you look at the top of of the list showing all groups and their permission, you should find a button to switch from groups to users - there you can give the "anonymous user" view rights, too.

Re: [xwiki-users] Printing pages as displayed
That’s cool. Thanks Vincent ☺ I finally got some time (and was forced to) look at implementing changes to the print formatting. I had some mixed results. I’ll document what I’ve done below and the bits I am having some trouble with and hopefully someone can provide me with further tips. 1. I managed to format the PDF Export output by attaching a pdf.css file to my custom skin application (as per http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Skin+Application). This has mostly worked for straightforward items like headers and font. But I am having trouble with some of my tables and it would help if I could reduce the margins of the page. QUESTION: Is there a simple way to modify the margins (I need narrower margins) 2. I tried to format the printed output but found that attaching a print.css to my skin application did very little/nothing to format the output. I tested by creating an article in the Sandbox, Clicking “More Actions” > “Print Preview” > Press Ctrl+P. This was testing in Chrome and Firefox with the same effect/results. 3. I then found that there were several @Media=”Print” sections in the Style.css file. So I downloaded this, removed the @Media sections and re-attached my new style.css to my skin application. This now allowed my formatting in the attached print.css to take effect. So this now works and looks as I would expect. But I don’t really like the idea of having my own style.css as it’ll make it more difficult to take advantage of any new formatting changes that may be added later (unless I’ve missed the point here) 4. I have locked down the xwiki so that only registered and logged in users can view any of the documents. Unfortunately this now means that style.css is not accessible on the login page. I have modified the access rights on the skin application and given view permissions to XWikiAllGroup but I suspect I need to somehow give access to guests but I can’t see how to do that. Sorry for the long email and I hope I’ve explained clearly. Any help greatly appreciated (as always).

Re: [xwiki-users] Printing pages as displayed
Except print.css another way of 'printing' XWiki pages would be to customize the PDF export, but this step is more complicated (you need to do modifications to pdf templates, XHTML2FO XSL and FOP XSL transformations, etc.), see http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Configuration#HCustomizingthePDFexportLook26Feel Depends on what you need to do.

[xwiki-users] Printing pages as displayed
Hi Is there a way of printing the pages as they are displayed? Ideally printing without the side panel, but with all the different colours/formatting as it appears on the screen would be ideal.

I have tried an export to HTML and then using the local html file to see if that works but it seems that whatever script/css is forcing the print formatting still takes effect on the exported html. I have tried saving the page only directly but it still does the same thing. I have tried Chrome. Firefox and IE.
