Create a view mode for printing

bumping, really need this one as well.

Hi,

Thanks for the patch.. I didn't use it directly, but it set me on the right path.

I've committed to git some code to enable the view mode.

Hi

Did this ever make it into a release version, and if so where ?

Thanks

Changing the status as a quick glance at the code looks as though this feature never made it into a the release.

http://drupalcode.org/project/print.git/commit/17691f5022844431acfadeef8...

Probably I'm not understanding something but I thought the requirement was to present a new display mode in the admin interface so that the fields can be re-arranged specifically for the 'print' view mode. However the committed code says :

$info['node']['view modes'] = array(
                'custom_settings' => FALSE;

which means the new view mode uses the default view mode's settings ( according to http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules!system!system.api.php/function/... ). In which case I don't really see the point defining a new view mode ?

I've just re-read the following in relation to custom_settings :

If FALSE, entities displayed in this view mode will reuse the 'default' display settings by default (e.g. right after the module exposing the view mode is enabled), but administrators can later use the Field UI to apply custom display settings specific to the view mode.

Does this mean I should be able to see a 'print' view mode at admin/structure/types/manage/MY_CONTENT_TYPE/display ? I can't .......

The 'Print' view mode is there indeed. But you need to expand the "Custom display settings" and then tick the 'Print' checkbox.

Once you've done this, you'll be able to customize the display of fields in the pages/objects generated by the print module.

++++1. You are a gentleman and a scholar ! Apologies for troubling you with something I should have spotted instantly.

Keep up the good work.

Is there also an Email view mode?
