Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Problems printing with Chrome and Firefox

Running Atahualpa 3.6.7 with all 5 patches installed and WordPress 3.2.1
URL: http://clippingin.dk/ and http://makoni.dk

The problem is with both Chrome and Firefox browsers:
When printing any page from my sites only the left-sidebar is printed + a lot of blank pages with Firefox (109 blank pages with homepage of http://makoni.dk).

Disabling all plugins makes no difference.

Using Internet Explorer seems to work.

Regards

How are you doing the printing? using the browser print function? a screen print? a plugin?

Standard browser print, nothing fancy. Just Ctrl+P.
This is the preview screen in Chrome browser og the frontpage of http://makoni.dk:

Click on image to see full size.

At the moment the site http://clippingin.dk is a mostly closed site, but there I maybe found a little clue: The center part of the page (where post and pages are displayed) seems to be printed to the right of the page (outside the paper). On the page in question I see the leftmost pixels of the page content as the rightmost pixels right before the right printmargin.

The dotted line to the right (just before the right margin) on the screendump, is the dotted line between left sidebar and the pagearea from the Atahualpa theme.

Tried installing plugin wp-print on both domains, but it makes no difference.

I have now been looking at some pages html code (view source), and it seems the "@media print" style section is not terminated correctly (missing } at the end). At least as I understand this page: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/media.html.

The styles in this "@media print" section disables all the sidebars, but none of them seems to work, maybe because of the missing } at the end.

try this, edit css.php and find the following (lines 2072-2078)
HTML Code:
	td#left, td#right, td#left-inner, td#right-inner {
		width: 0;
		}

	td#middle {
		width: 100%;
		}
and change it to
HTML Code:
	td#left, td#right, td#left-inner, td#right-inner {
		width: 0;
		display: none;
		}

	td#middle {
		width: 100% !important;
		display: block;
		}

That did the trick, except for one small annoying detail: when I get back from print, the page needs a refresh to show the content again. Just like the print preview before.

This last small error is only visible i Chrome browser, but works fine in Firefox.

don't you just love how all browsers work the same. I get the same issue in Safari, but not in firefox on a mac.

In Safari, I get a image of the screen print, but in firefox I just get a print dialogue.

Is the refresh problem happening on both Chrome and FireFox?
What OS are you using?
