Hello,

I'm not an expert here, but I would like to create a new CSS file so as to control the print output of FC items.

As you can see from the attachment , my specific need is to know what elements and classes to edit so as to change the placement of the gallery field from underneath the main image to the right of the main image, above the top area of the FC default template.

How can I do this?

Thank you in advance!

Hello

it can be done by adding the layout (=template name) to the URL

category / multi-item views
&clayout=my_print_tmpl_1

or item view:
&ilayout=my_print_tmpl_1

and then you can edit the item and category layouts of template with name "my_print_tmpl_1" and place fields appropriately

- but currently there is no option for it in type configuration or in category view configuration for specifying a different layout for printing
IT IS LITTLE work to add, but many things are little work, and further more there is always risk of breaking things
you can submit issue in Github:
github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck

it will be accepted for some future version

currently:
you can edit item.php and category_items.php
and if URL variable print is set you can do things differently

Dear ggppdk,

thank you for the quick reply and for the help.

&ilayout=my_print_tmpl_1

I have duplicated the template I used for the product page, which was called "default-prodotto", and named it "default-prodotto-print". Then updated the fields that I would like to appear in the print page and positioned them accordingly.
I then cleared the backend and browser cache and went to the url of the product page.
I added ?ilayout=default-prodotto-print at the end of the url of the product page and hit search, and the new template for the product shows up. Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll post the improvement in Github.

I'm afraid I have not understood this last part of the instructions... :oops:

Thank you!!!
