I'm willing to write a simple function for basic printing (send variables to index2.php and automatically start up the Print dialog), but I'm waiting to hear back from the jcalpro developer on how I should go about it, so I can be sure the code gets put in the trunk so everyone can use it.

Here's another vote for having a "Print" function.  Printing in all views: monthly, weekly, daily, etc. would be fantastic!! 

Keep up the good work.  This is a great calendar component.

I would love to purchase jcal, but the lack of printing is a complete dealbreaker. Printing Please!

Does anyone know if this has been implemented yet?
I really need printing of monthly calendar, had no idea it wasn't available until after I installed!

I finally got around to doing this.  My method only requires editing theme.php so it doesn't actually touch the jcalpro code at all.

First, you'll need to create an icon_print.png file and put in your theme's images folder.  I didn't use the icon_print.gif already supplied with jcalpro because its dimensions are not 23x23 like the other main menu icons.

The following is added to $template_main_menu:

Code:

<!-- BEGIN print_view -->
<td><img src="{URL}images/spacer.gif" width="10" height="25" border="0" alt="" /></td>
<td class="buttontext" align="center" valign="middle" nowrap="nowrap">
<a href="{PRINT_TGT}" title="{PRINT_LNK}" class="buttontext" target="_blank" onclick="{PRINT_STATUS}">
<img src="{URL}themes/spartan/images/icon-print.png" border="0" alt="{PRINT_LNK}" /><br />
{PRINT_LNK}</a>
</td>
<!-- END print_view -->

Then this is added after </table> in $template_main_menu:

Code:

{PRINT_JSCRIPT}

Then in function theme_main_menu(), add the following lines below all the lines containing "if (!$CONFIG_EXT[])":

Code:

if (!strpos($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], "index.php")) {
$print_link = "#";
$status = 'javascript:window.print(); return false;';
$print_jscript = '
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
window.print();
}
</script>';
} else {
$print_link = str_replace("index.php", "index2.php", $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
$status = "window.open('".$print_link."','win2','status=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,titlebar=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,width=640,height=480,directories=no,location=no'); return false;";
$print_jscript = "";
}

Then append the following lines to the end of $param in that same function (and be sure to add a comma at the end of the SEARCH_LNK line):

Code:

'{PRINT_LNK}'=> "Print",
'{PRINT_TGT}'=> $print_link,
'{PRINT_STATUS}'=> $status,
'{PRINT_JSCRIPT}'=> $print_jscript

Hope that helps.

Looks great. Can you send a demo?

[MRJIT]

I just tried your code. (I couldn't wait) it works a dream. Thanks!!!
