Displaying a "printer friendly" version of page

[Dave Everson <dj...@hotmail.com>]

I want to add a hyperlink in my web application that allows the user to view a "printer friendly" version of the information that is currently displayed on the page.  The printer friendly view would be displayed in a new browser window (could be a popup) and it would basically just contain the template currently displayed in the $screen_placeholder.  Basically, it would get rid of the top banner and navigation menu.  

Could someone please provide me with a code snippet or advise on how to implement this in a Turbine application. 

Thanks!
Dave

Dave,

Don't know if there's an easier way, but I would
create a layout with just $screen_placeholder and pass
a var to your screen that tells your screen to be user
friendly.


$link.setPage("[same as
before]").addQueryData("printer_friendly",
"true").[addWhateverElse()]

.
.
.

boolean printerFriendly = 
    
data.getParameters().getBoolean("printer_friendly",
false);

if (printerFriendly)
     setLayout(data, [blank_layout_name]);
