Adding a Disclaimer to TWiki Print format

This is pretty hackish – but it seems to work Ok.

Putting your Disclaimers on the Bottom

Edit the variable

WEBCOPYRIGHT

on the page

TWiki.TWikiPreferences

. For instance, make the line read like this :

* Set WEBCOPYRIGHT = %MAKETEXT{”Copyright &©[_1] by PLATFORMedia LLC. ” args=”1999-%GMTIME{$year}%”}%

Adding your Logo to the Top

Create a topic

TWiki.WebTopBarPrint

which contains the logos required for the printable page (based on

TWiki.WebTopBar

).

Also, so that the Print format includes the Logo at the top, edit the file

twiki/templates/viewprint.pattern.tmpl

to contain :

%TMPL:INCLUDE{”viewtopbarprint”}%

near the top, and copy the file

viewtopbar.pattern.tmpl

to a new copy

viewtopbarprint.pattern.tmpl

which has the definition of TOPBAR changed to have

%INCLUDE{”%TWIKIWEB%.WebTopBarPrint”}%

instead of the existing

%INCLUDE{”%TWIKIWEB%.WebTopBar”}%

.

Also, to remove the background image behind the logo, change :

<div id=”patternTopBar”>

to :

<div id=”patternTopBar” style=”background-image:none;”>

and (finally) to get the logo to display on ‘media=print’ you’ll need to comment out this section in

twiki/pub/TWiki/PatternSkin/print.css

:

#patternTopBar,
#patternClearHeaderCenter,
#patternClearHeaderLeft,
#patternClearHeaderRight,
#patternTopBarContentsOuter {
display:none;
}

Forcing Printer Page-Breaks

Here’s the code snippet you can litter on pages that print awkwardly :

<DIV style=”page-break-after:always”></DIV>
