I was watching a post a while back, (maybe a couple months tops), the post was about why the masterdetails didnt print consistently on the top of the printer freindly page.
Was there a reason for this. I have this happening, checked to make sure Display master details where flagged as they should be.

What more can I check to find out why it isnt printing.
Hopefully it was just something easy to fix.

I'm afraid there is not enough info.
Do you have a URL where we can see this issue? Is that server specific (i.e. it works fine locally and doesn't work on your web sever etc).
Give us some details.

Sorry Sergey,
I was just hoping to get the quick "oh yeah" answer.
It doesnt seem to have anything to do with Local or published.
I have a projects page that have master table links on the list.

When I select the master table link on the normal list, all works good. Mastertable information is above as expected.

Its there, when I click the printer friendly button, I get the print perfectly, except it doesnt have the master table info.

I have reset the printer friendly page many times, the page looks just like the others.

Again though, when I print it does not show.
I was just hoping there was a reason you had come across before.

I will investigate a bit more, before I bother you with code.

The printer freindly page is relate to key columns of pages, maybe you could check how many keys to be checked.

DaleM,
if this is reproducible - will be pretty easy to fix once we have access to code and data.

Well, after a full day of chasing down what was going on.
I was using the color scheme Paris.

And during all the developement, some pages printed the mastertable information on a list page and some did not.
What I found was, there is NO master_list.htm or master_print.htm in the Paris Template. Those files were in the Default folder of templates.

I copied the two files from the Default templates to my Paris template.

And all works nicely now.
Not sure really what is happening here with phprunner. These template files are very very very touchy.

And then the phprunner visual editor opening and modifying the template file to something different. It really is a pain.
So anyway Sergey, now I cant reproduce the problem. The copying of those two file, untouched but copied, has seemed to have solved the problem. Now all pertaining lists will print the Master details on screen and on print.
The visual editor really needs some work. It interjects to much assumption when converting the htm template files.

Constitently loosing "" or the last ; in a style statement. Converts align= center to align = middle, it works but I still cant see that attribute being set to middle in ANY html documents. It was always align = Center .

Now I am just rambling.

Still a great development tool.
