PHPRunner General questions
K
 KennyB author

I was playing with php 6.1 and have not used phprunner in a while. I have the View and Edit screens and would liek to add a button that will pring me to print a Form (like a receipt or invoice etc)
I thought I could create a Table view and then filter for the record I would like.

Now modify a form that then can be printed.

  1. In order to have a View it looks like I can only get if I select LIST from the features I would like to add (List,add,edit,delete etc)
  2. Code to actually print the form to paper or PDF.. I guess I would add a custom button and put some code behind to print what is shown on the Web page.
    Any help or direction would be appreciated.
    Thanks

Since links to View pages only appear on the List page you need to enable List page as well.
To print a page add a button and use something like this in ClientBefore event:

window.print();

Is there a way to Hide the button that I add prior to the window.print so it does not show up on the printout. Also guess would reply to the other buttons like BACK TO LIST.. etc

You can definitely do that though a bit of custom coding will be required.
You can use jQuery that provides hide() function for this purpose:
