Hi George, Just a couple of suggestions here:
1) The trick here would be to have a media=print css file, while is included in all the pages. You would have to look through the web layout and produce appropriate printer versions of the tags/id's. Things like stripping out the menu + header, hiding the footer, etc. Have a google around for more information about this. It's possibly not what you're looking for, but it does give your users the ability to produce good-looking ad-hoc prints from the site. We have used this approach successfully a few times in the past. 2) You could implement this by having the page link encode the current URL and pass it as a parameter to another template / servlet: Eg, for a page /jahia/Jahia/pid/123, produce a link looking something like: /Jahia/Jahia/sendtofriend?url=/jahia/Jahia/pid/123 The sendtofriend template would use the RequestDispatcher to dispatch the request internally to /jahia/Jahia/pid/123, collect the result in a StreamBuffer (or whatever), and send that to the recipient. Oh, you'd need a page with the target email address form first, but you get my drift... Sound about right?

I want to create a printer-friendly view of any page of site content. The latest documentation has nothing on this yet - but has an empty section showing that this is planned. Can a Jahia team member please post a pre-release version of that information to advise on how best to do this. I am sure this has been done by other Jahia users and I really don't want to re-invent this, so I would very much appreciate some sample template code. 2. I want to create a feature to "send this page to a friend" - the contents in printer-friendly format, not just the URL - to a specified email address. Same points as above. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, George.
