Plugin Description

There are several reasons to print some hints on your posts. These hints will never been seen on the screen, but you want it to show on paper.

Feature-List:

  • Definition of a hint text, only appearing on printouts.
    You can use any html tag that can be placed within <p> ... </p> to format your hints.
  • Comfortable definition of hint text via admin settings panel.
  • Hiding user defined areas of posts / pages – see Example 3 in Arbitrary section
  • ShortTag [PrintHint] for free definition of post-blocks show only on screen/print output
  • Definition of CSS classes (.classname) in a comma separated list. These classes don’t appear on printouts.
  • Definition of CSS IDs (#idname) in a comma separated list. These IDs don’t appear on printouts.
  • Style definition for printout border frame
  • Multilanguage Support: English, Deutsch, Russian already implemented

The plugin hooks into the_content filter. The the_excerpt filter hook is used to remove the hint from displaying on search result page.

*Scenarios*

You want to show a text only online?

[PrintHint show_on=”screen”] … appears only on screen … [/PrintHint]

You want to show a text only on printout?

[PrintHint show_on=”print”] … appears only on printouts … [/PrintHint]

*Hint*

Beware of the closing tag [/PrintHint] as well as the parameter show_on, they are REQUIRED!
If you don’t apply the parameter or give them a wrong argument, the block content will not be displayed, anyway.

Removing the whole border css style from config page will activate the default style defined in fdrag_phi_print.css

Arbitrary section

Example 1: Hint-Text

<center><b>Achtung</b> - Urheberrechtshinweis! <br>
Da dieses Blog unter einer Creative Commons Lizenz steht, 
stellt das Ausdrucken für Sie kein Problem dar. <br>
Bei Webseiten die nicht unter einer solchen oder ähnlichen Lizenz stehen, 
kann das Ausdrucken zu einer Urheberrechtsverletzung führen.</center>

Example 2: CSS Class/ID hiding

#header, #top, #footer, #bottom, #sidebar,
.commentheader, #commentform

Example 3: Hide some portion of a post / page while printing

Within the post define an area with a userdefined and no more referenced ID.
This ID don’t have to be defined within any CSS stylesheet. It’s just for Dragons Print-Hint.

.. some content of your post
<div id="RemoveOnPrint"> ... here is some content of the post ... </div>
.. some more content of your post

If you define this ID (#RemoveOnPrint) in the “hide css blocks” list (remember: comma separate more then one value)
you can see the post with all content but while printing the div tag with id=”RemoveOnPrint” ist hidden.

Example 4: Using shortcodes

If there are areas within your post to explicitly hide/show on screen/print output,
you can use the shortcode

[PrintHint show_on="screen|print"] .... [/PrintHint].

Show graphical link only online, on printouts show the URL instead.

Here is my post text
[PrintHint show_on="screen"]<a href="some url"><img src="myImage" /></a>[/PrintHint]
[PrintHint show_on="print"]http://myUrl[/PrintHint]<br>
and here is the rest of the text.

The Parameter show_on can be used to define the apperance of the content between the shortcode tags.
If you define show_on=”screen” the content part will only be shown an screen outputs.
Otherwise, the show_on=”print” parameter will show the hint only on printouts.

Remark: If you dont’t use the ‘show_on’ parameter or forget to close the shortcode tag, there will be no output!

= Example 5: Using your own border style for print-hint
Just enter the border attributes (see http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_border.asp for usage example)
without the semicolon. e.g. 5px solid red
