Hello all,

I would like to add the site logo and some other things to the print popup window, but I can’t figure out how to do it. Everything on the internet that I’ve found suggests modifying the component.php file. I can do this and it works for the print popup, but whatever I put in there also shows up at the top of every page of the site as well.

I would be ok with just putting in some php/html code directly into whatever file needed it, but I’d prefer to be able to just include a module position in the normal <jdoc:include manner.

Is there some IF statement that I need to put in the component.php file that will make it only insert what I’m wanting in the print popup window and not the regular site pages?

Any help you could provide here would be appreciated.

I have resolved this. I’m not sure why it wasn’t working for me before, but for those who want to control the look of the print version popup window, here’s what I did.

Go to the component.php for the template you are using. In my case, this is /public_html/templates/t3_blank/component.php.

Above the line that says


include (dirname(__FILE__).'/index.php');

Add your code. In my case, I added this:


<div class="span12 print-header">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="print-header" style="raw" />
<?php $today = mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y")); echo "<p>Today is ".date("l d M, Y", $today);?>
</p>
<p>Check <a href="http://www.dyplast.com">the Dyplast website </a>for the latest information.</p>
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="print-page-qr" style="raw" />
</div>

This puts the company logo, the date it was printed, a link back to the main site, and a QR code (added as a module) to go back to the page this came from – all on the print friendly popup.

I hope this is helpful to someone! 🙂
