Hi,
We've made extensive use of the remote content asset and it's working very well. However, the print design doesn't seem to work so well with it. When I try to print any page from the remote content, it will only ever print the page for the URL that is entered in the Remote URL field in the remote content details screen.
For example, we are using remote content to have a staff directory on our intranet. The first page has a number of search fields on it. Once someone has conducted a search, it's entirely possible they will want to print the results out. However, when you hit the print button, which calls the print design, all you get is the page with the search fields on it.
Is there something in the remote content set up that I've overlooked? I'd really like to try to get this working.
You have to ensure that the link to the Print Design URL contains the full URL string including all the query string options for remote content to pull the currently displayed page into the design.
The link should look similar to this:
[html]<a href="<MySource_PRINT var='asset_link' start_query_string='true' append_query_string='true' />SQ_DESIGN_NAME=print">Printer Friendly</a>[/html]
Its the append_query_string="true" bit I was missing. Works like a charm
. Many, many thanks for the swift reply.
You're welcome.
