Print K2 category menu item was created by Idar Aspmodal

Hi,

When an menu item is set as an K2 article it is possible to add printing functionality in the top line, but I can't find this when showing an category.
How can I set it to be able to print category menu item?

The print button is only part of the item.
You can override the category.php file and add the button (from item.php) there as well.
This post will help you with the overriding process getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

IMO i do not think this is necessary since everyone can use CTRL/CMD + P in order to print that view.

Hi,

I tried adding the K2 Plugins: K2AfterDisplayTitle from the item.php file, but get an error on line 41 in the attached file. May that be because there is no place to set the printing button to be visible?

Take a look here: 46.250.210.170/om/firmaet/programvare2

Oops, something went wrong with the attachment. Below you will find the code:

Before:

<?php if(isset($this->category) || ( $this->params->get('subCategories') && isset($this->subCategories) && count($this->subCategories) )): ?>

Printing code:

<!-- K2 Plugins: K2AfterDisplayTitle -->
			  <?php echo $this->item->event->K2AfterDisplayTitle; ?>

				<?php if(
					$this->item->params->get('itemPrintButton')): ?>
			  <div class="itemToolbar">
					<ul>
						<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemPrintButton') && !JRequest::getInt('print')): ?>
						<!-- Print Button -->
						<li>
							<a class="itemPrintLink" rel="nofollow" href="<?php echo $this->item->printLink; ?>" onclick="window.open(this.href,'printWindow','width=900,height=600,location=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes'); return false;">
								<span><?php echo JText::_('K2_PRINT'); ?></span>
							</a>
						</li>
						<?php endif; ?>
					</ul>
					<div class="clr"></div>
		  </div>
  <?php endif; ?>

After:

<!-- Blocks for current category and subcategories -->

Line 41 is:

$this->item->params->get('itemPrintButton')): ?>

Just this code will do

<a class="itemPrintLink" rel="nofollow" href="<?php echo $this->item->printLink; ?>" onclick="window.open(this.href,'printWindow','width=900,height=600,location=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes'); return false;">
								<span><?php echo JText::_('K2_PRINT'); ?></span>
							</a>

The rest are checks and statements which are invalid in the category view. You might need to tweak your CSS as well.
