Print page via wkhtmltopdf
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Different browser prints the same page in different variations. To prevent this, QFQ implements a small PHP wrapper `print.php`
which uses http://wkhtmltopdf.org/ (webkit based) to convert HTML to PDF. The converter is not included in QFQ and has
to be manually installed.
Hint: The Ubuntu package `wkhtmltopdf` needs a running Xserver - this does not work on a headless webserver. Best is to
install the QT version from the named website above.
In config.qfq.ini specify the:
* installed `wkhtmltopdf` binary,
* the site base URL.
Provide a `print this page`-link (replace {current pageId})::
<a href="typo3conf/ext/qfq/qfq/api/print.php?id={current pageId}">Print this page</a>
Any parameter specified after `print.php` will be delivered to `wkhtmltopdf` as part of the URL.
Typoscript code to implement a print link on every page::
10 = TEXT
10 {
wrap = <a href="typo3conf/ext/qfq/qfq/api/print.php?id=|&type=2"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-print" aria-hidden="true"></span> Printview</a>
data = page:uid
}
