Creating Custom Header During Printing

In the Community Edition I was able to create a custom header and footer during printing (clicking the print button). 

See image for reference:

I did it by modifying the file:Grocery_CRUD.php located in 'application\libraries\'

and adding the following line above the code: $string_to_print .= '<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" ><tr>';

//LARA ADDED THIS LAST NOV.30, 2016 TO ALLOW CUSTOM HEADER DURING PRINT
if(isset($_SESSION['CustomHeader']) && $_SESSION['CustomHeader']<>'') $string_to_print .= $_SESSION['CustomHeader'];

Now I was wondering if It can be done in the Enterprise Edition by using a custom model instead of editing the core or library.

This would be useful to fully maximize the printout or report generated by the CRUD.

Any ideas in this one?

Sir @web-johnny,
 
Please provide a hidden div or table on the top and bottom part of the print out.
In that way I can use it to place my custom header and footer and I will not
need to edit the core of GroceryCRUD.
 
If you had better ideas than this method it would be great.
 
Thanks!

Well need to look ahead in the Enterprise Edition so far for the functionality.. But one thing - you may need to alter the library (core to add functionality) .. and also the read file template.

 

What you can do in there is.. add the same in a certain print only css class so it will be enabled in case of printing and not in case of simply viewing.

 

Happy GCing :)

I was able to accomplish this again by modifying certain files of the core.

 

Again I added (For the Header):

<?php if(isset($_SESSION["CustomHeader"]) && $_SESSION["CustomHeader"]<>'') echo $_SESSION["CustomHeader"]; ?>

and for the Footer:

<?php if(isset($_SESSION["CustomFooter"]) && $_SESSION["CustomFooter"]<>'') echo $_SESSION["CustomFooter"]; ?>

to the file: "main.html"

located in: "application\libraries\GroceryCrudEnterprise\grocerycrud\enterprise\src\GroceryCrud\Themes\Bootstrap\views\build\"

 

I just hope this helps some who are needing this functionality.

 

Happy Gcing to all  :)  ;)  :lol:

Updates to this post: If you upgrade to 2.3.5.

 

The lines to add in: the file: "main.html" located in: "application\libraries\GroceryCrudEnterprise\grocerycrud\enterprise\src\GroceryCrud\Themes\Bootstrap\views\build\" are:

<?php if(isset($_SESSION["CustomHeader"]) && $_SESSION["CustomHeader"]<>'') echo $_SESSION["CustomHeader"]; ?>

and

<?php if(isset($_SESSION["CustomFooter"]) && $_SESSION["CustomFooter"]<>'') echo $_SESSION["CustomFooter"]; ?>


Happy Gcing to all   :)   ;)   :lol:

ANOTHER UPDATE:

 

I noticed that upon update the line number may change.

 

So instead of specifying the line number, just find:

<div class="print-table">
and paste: 
<?php if(isset($_SESSION["CustomHeader"]) && $_SESSION["CustomHeader"]<>'') echo $_SESSION["CustomHeader"]; ?>

before the tag: <table> and:

<?php if(isset($_SESSION["CustomFooter"]) && $_SESSION["CustomFooter"]<>'') echo $_SESSION["CustomFooter"]; ?> 

after the tag: </table>

 

Happy Gcing to all    :)    ;)    :lol:

Hy larasmith,

 

I'm new in php and gc, can you show me example to echo $_SESSION["CustomHeader"]; 

from your code?

 

thanks

Hello @langithitam!

 

Sure... This is how I do it:

 

Prior generating the list the custom header is assigned to the session variable:

$_SESSION['CustomHeader']   = $this->m_Shared->CreateCustomHeader("Security Log List");

and the output is:

Sample01.png

 

Please do take note that CreateCustomHeader there in my code is function that customly formats my header.

 

You can actually just assign any text to the custom header for example:

$_SESSION['CustomHeader']   = "This is my sample header.";

and the output is:

Sample02.png

 

 

Happy GCing!  :)  ;)  :D

Hi larasmith.

This is great. How do I get a logo into the print too.
