Printable version

Post by sfabriz »

I noticed that there isn't any more the "printable version" page for a single problem or for all problems as there was some time ago. It would be really nice to have that feature back, because sometimes it's even useful to reduce server load if people can lookup a certain problem without having the need to browse the site. They can do it simply opening the pdf on their client machine.
Is that feature no more accessible for some reason or it is just because it has been forgotten? Maybe it would even be easier to just make a link to an olready compiled pdf file with all problems in it, so people could simply just download that instead of querying the database for all problems.

But anyway, there's no hurry, of course.

Cheers,

I'm using CSS now to control the page. Try clicking "Print Preview" and you should see a "printer friendly" page.

After doing that I have to press the backbutton twice (at least in Opera) to get to the normal view again.

Yep, I already did that, but noticed that there are some small issues.
When I make the pdf with FF it goes well, but with IE7, for example, problem 188 disappears and problem 189 is labeled problem 188...
If you want I can send you the 2 results for debugging.

I might have fixed that problem. I noticed that a couple of tags had not been properly closed in one or two places of the last few problems and it was causing IE to behave strangely. However, I've still noticed that there is a tiny problem somewhere in the script that renders the page (it looks like a redundant closed division tag), but I won't be able to fix it until I get home from school.

I don't know, sometimes printing problems depend on the os+browser+pdf printer, but that issue appeared to me a while ago, when the site was heavily mutilated, so I just waited a bit before reporting it.
Anyway, works correctly with IE7 now. Fyi I was usign Bullzip pdf printer, which works great under vista.

Cheers
