Hi Geoff
This problem was reported earlier, unfortunately I have not had a chance to delve into it.
However, the other user who reported it suggested this:Add the following:
WPBMap::addAllMappedShortcodes();
to the print plugin code just before it outputs the content.
I’ll need some more info please
PLease send me the URL of the affected site and if your client permits, the admin username and password – do not post here, you can send that to admin@togethernet.co.ukThe point of the plug-in is to produce well-styled printouts easily, just by using the dashboard settings. The dasbhoard settings are there to circumvent the need to edit css in the large majority of cases. They are your customised styling. They basically save your css edits into the database, and they won’t be screwed when you update. The printed output is consistent, whatever you do to your theme. However in some circumstances users need a little more tweaking and they can do this via the plug-in’s css file.
Whenever you make any edits to the code of a plug-in, it’s important to note down these changes as they will be removed by plug-in updating; the plug-in’s own css is no different.Yes, any amends you make to the plug-in’s CSS will get overwritten in an update. But updates are not automatic.
Hi Kent
Perhaps the simplest way is to upload a transparent icon – make a 1 x 1 pixel transparent image file. The icon will be there but invisible.
To save you making one I’ll email one to you.
I think this problem is now fixed. If any user experiences it please let me know. No change needed to your copy of ProductPrint Pro.
Hi David
I have uploaded and activated a copy of ProductPrint Pro onto your site. It’s working fine. However, if you check your plug-ins page on the dash you’ll see two versions of ProductPrint Pro – one activated and one deactivated. You can either ignore this if you wish, but it would be better to log in via ftp to your web server and delete one of them. (By the way you can also delete ProductPrint, the free version, if you wish).
Which one? The folder you need to delete will be in the plug-ins directory. It will have a very long name, starting with edd. Just delete this folder.
Why’s it happening? Don’t know yet. Something is screwing up the updating process and it’s failing to remove or rename the temporary folder it creates. I’m using Easy Digital Downloads for this job (hence edd). I’ll get this fixed for 1.8.
Can you please send me the admin login credentials to let me take a look? You can email me at admin@togethernet.co.uk
Please let me know if you have made any other recent updates or changes – what caused the plugin to deactivate?The short answer is that there is no alternative way to insert the print button because the button is inserted using WooCommerce hooks, and if these are not present then the button does not get included.
However I can’t see how Types and Views can catch on if it does not use the hooks, so that’s a good question to ask of the Types & Views developers.Hi Stephen
Firstly did you mean
#productprint-description table, td, th {Or did you mean
#productprint-description table td, #productprint-description table th {and likewise
#productprint-description td, #productprint-description th {I think the 2nd in each case is what you want.
Make sure you make your edits in the plug-in’s own css file, rather than in the theme’s css file.
However if you want the coloured backgrounds to print, then you have to select this option in the printer dialog box, because most printers will default to not printing solid background colours. This can’t be gotten around from the plug-in because it’s a browser setting.
ProductPrint Pro 1.5 will now print the variation image if one exists, and the user has selected a variation. To update to ProductPrint Pro 1.5, first activate your license from the license tab, then go to the dashboard – > updates and you should see ProductPrint Pro listed as having an update available. Update the plug-in and then you should find that you are able to print variation images.
Once you have updated to v 1.5 you will also find that updating the plug-in is easier because you will see an ‘update available’ message on the plug-ins page of the dashboard, whenever an update is released.
I intend to update the plug-in so that what is printed more accurately reflects the selection made on the product page – for example if you select a product variation and this changes the main image, then the changed image, showing the variation selected, should be printed. This will be in the next update.
I am not sure that this is what you require though. You would like a gallery of all product variations to replace the image gallery? Could you just add the product variation images to the image gallery? If you do not want the gallery to show on the product page you can quite easily suppress the output of the gallery with css.
