Topic: [HACK] Printing your CuteNews articles
Name: Printing your CuteNews articles
Author: demas
CuteNews Compatibility: 1.3.6 - * (no incompatibility reported yet)
Description: I guess the title says it all.
An alternative can be found here
Instructions:
First of all you would need to create a file printphp.php and put it in the CuteNews root folder
<div align="right">[url=java script:window.close()]Close[/url] [url=java script:window.print()]Print[/url]</div><?php
/*PHPrint - This file is printphp.php
Make any Page Printer Friendly! Version 2.0 - With error handling
// After installation, you can remove text from here down to the next: 8< ---->
// Back up/copy this file first.
1. Save this script in the root of the site for simplicity.
2. Place <!-- startprint --> somewhere in your HTML page where you consider
it to be the start of printer friendly content, and <!-- stopprint --> goes at the end
of that same content.
3. You place a link to phprint.php anywhere on the HTML page (preferably outside the printed content,
like this: [url=/phprint.php]Print this page[/url]
- or however you like, just as long as you link to this script. */
// If you've already tested, you can remove the text from here up to the other: 8< ---->
//Do you want to strip images from the printable output?
// If no, change to "no". Otherwise, images are stripped by default.
$stripImages = "no";
//what's the base domain name of your site, without trailing slash?
// Just the domain itself, so we can fix any relative image and link problems.
$baseURL="Your web site url goes here";
// That's it! No need to go below here. Upload it and test by going to yoursite.com/page.php
// (The page containing the two tags and a link to this script)
// -----------------------------------------------------
$startingpoint = "<!-- startprint -->";
$endingpoint = "<!-- stopprint -->";
// let's turn off any ugly errors for a sec so we can use our own if necessary...
error_reporting(0);
// $read = fopen($HTTP_REFERER, "rb") ... this line may work better if you're using NT, or even FreeBSD
$read = fopen($HTTP_REFERER, "r") or die("
<font face=\"Verdana\">Sorry! There is no access to this file directly. You must follow a link.
Please click your browser's back button. </font>
");
// let's turn errors back on so we can debug if necessary
error_reporting(1);
$value = "";
while(!feof($read)){
$value .= fread($read, 10000); // reduce number to save server load
}
fclose($read);
$start= strpos($value, "$startingpoint");
$finish= strpos($value, "$endingpoint");
$length= $finish-$start;
$value=substr($value, $start, $length);
function i_denude($variable) {
return(eregi_replace("<img src=[^>]*>", "", $variable));
}
function i_denudef($variable) {
return(eregi_replace("<font[^>]*>", "", $variable));
}
$PHPrint = ("$value");
if ($stripImages == "yes") {
$PHPrint = i_denude("$PHPrint");
}
$PHPrint = i_denudef("$PHPrint");
$PHPrint = str_replace( "</font>", "", $PHPrint );
$PHPrint = stripslashes("$PHPrint");
echo "<base href=\"$baseURL\">";
echo $PHPrint;
echo "<br/><br/>This page printed from: $HTTP_REFERER";
flush ();
?>
And then find the line 24 of the file above and change it with your site url.
Next add the following link to your full story template part
[url={cute-http-path}/printphp.php]Print this article[/url]
and put your full story template part code between
<!-- startprint -->
and
<!-- stopprint -->
to identify the part that needs to be printed.
So that's it! You would now have a print this article in all of your news!
Also note that the forum splits the word javascript. This MUST be 1 word.
