Truncated Text in print view

Hi,

I am trying to create a print page with the following value from a list page {$row.1description_value}.

The list view truncates the text to 50 characters and some text can be 250 - 500 characters.

Is there an easy way change this behaviour so that from the list view it outputs all of the text in a table format instead of truncating it?

Hi,
you can do the following:

  1. edit SQL query on the Edit SQL query tab.

    Here is a sample:
    select field1,

    field2,

    field2 as field2_print,

    ...

    from TableName



2. check off field2_print on the print page only on the Choose fields tab.

3. set up field2_print field as HTML on the "View as" settings dialog on the Visual Editor tab.
