Printing results of lists

Is it possible to print the content of a list?

I have a number of lists that display member information and I've had several requests from different VPs that would like to print the content of those lists (or be able to download them perhaps in CSV format). This would allow them to get the member email addresses and email them.

Should be able to print the userlist perfectly fine. You mean you want to print the list without your template HTML surrounding it? You can use custom CSS to modify how a pages print layout will display by using the print @media query. Example as follows.


Alternative is add &tmpl=component to the URL in your browser then use print.

Yes, the user wants the ability to have a print button on the screen and to have a formatted output of just the list contents sent to the printer. In your example... where would I put that code? Also, what exactly do you mean by the &tmpl=component option?

You don't need a print button. Using CSS you can have what you're wanting just using normal browser print behavior.

In your browsers address bar you can add the tmpl parameter with a value of component to force Joomla to only render the component, which would be just the userlist.

I added the &tmpl= option and got a 404 error...

Using CSS I would have to make sure that the entire list is on the page instead of using paging. Right now only 30 line items are displayed.

Code:

@media print { body { color: red !important; // this will only apply to printing! } }

Where would I put these CSS overrides? Under the "create overrides" in the template? If so, do I select module and if so, which one?
