Hi, I copied some web pages which contained text and images and pasted them into the message area in post new topic. On the website I have and the printer friendly button printed the mall out mnicely.

On a few others where IO thinlk I uploaded the image via the post and the  url link  the printer friendly post shows the url to teh image and not the image itself.

Am I doing something wrong or do I have to paste images in te message body for them to view in the printer friendly post button?

test messgae and image url. This one is linked via url button

That is how it was designed to work, so that only text should show on the printer friendly version, so no images just text which is better for the printer.

This has actually been changed in the next version, os that images show in the printer friendly version, only URL's will be changed now so that you can read whet they are on a printed page as http://www.webwiz.net - click here  wouldn't make much senese on a printed page without the URL next to it.

I have to disagree here Borg since I have most of my posts on my website wity images that do show up on the printer friendly version.

As I said some dont and I was wondering why.

See this? Try the printer friendly url and see if it shows.

So that looks very nice as I intended.

So anyone know whyc some dont work? The ones that dont work were posted bu the url button in this post menu

This one below is posted using the url button

I tried the url post method on my system and no luck. But the paste method worked

yes but it does work on my system too, except as  i said for a couple of posts. When I copy from a webpage and paste it in I am able to printer friendly view the text and image.

When I upload from this url function it doesnt. Since all my original posts to my forum were copied site pages I didnt realize.

I had planned to use the url button to uplaod my images to all new posts but then I discovered on my first new posts they dont work.All my new posts to my forum will be unable to view them unless I either post to a website first before copying them across.

Anyway I can get the file with the new code in now? Please

Go to the file functions_edit_post.asp and find the convert post to text function at the bottom and change it to:-

'******************************************
'***    Convert Post to Text Function ***
'******************************************

'Function to romove icons and colurs to just leave plain text
Function ConvertToText(ByVal strMessage)
 Dim intLoop   'Loop counter
 Dim strTempEmoticonAltTag 'Temp Emoticon code store
 'Remove the font colours, smilley graphics, images, hyperlinks
 strMessage = Replace(strMessage, " target=""_blank""", "", 1, -1, 1)
 strMessage = Replace(strMessage, " border=""0""", "", 1, -1, 1)
 strMessage = Replace(strMessage, "<a href=""", "", 1, -1, 1)
 strMessage = Replace(strMessage, "<a href= """, "", 1, -1, 1)
 strMessage = Replace(strMessage, "</a>", "", 1, -1, 1)
 'Return the message with the icons and text colours removed
 ConvertToText = strMessage
End Function

Although this changed function is no where near being completed and is full of bugs (worse than the old one) for example it doesn't yet convert links to text correctly, problems with borders, etc. But thats becuase I spent less than 2 minutes on it at the moment.

hello

Printer friendly page breaking HTML

When I view a printer friendly page with font tags the html is broken. It looks like a replace function is corruping the html but I can't find it in the code. Can you help?

excpet it dosn't break on your forum so can you tell me where to get the lastest code? I am using 7.01

Oh yes. I didn't see that that code would address my problem but I've tried it and it does so thank you very much.
