Print Friendly version doesn't carry module title for some module types
Posted: 11 Oct 06 11:00 AM

I am using the TemplatePrint skin object to load a new window and define the skin and container on the output. That is working fine. But, on the print friendly page, the module title is not showing up for a single module type. I am using the Invenmanager.com's Content Manager module on most of my pages. No matter what the title is on the module in the page, when I go to the Print Friendly page, I get "Content Manager" as the title. Other module types, like Text/HTML, link lists, XMod, etc. all show the title on the print friendly page just fine. Just not Content Manager.

I was just wondering if anyone else had seen similar behavior. I am 90% sure that the problem is not in the TemplatePrint skin object, but I just wanted to cover all of my bases.

Here is an example:
http://www.californiaschoolfinance.org/
(Sorry about the pop up survey, you HAVE to answer it, but only one time.)
Then pick Finance System from menu. See the module: "California's School Finance System: The Basics". Click Printer Friendly. See how the header is "Content Manager"?

Here is an example of a page that works:
News & Events / Publications (Uses an XMod module).

Any suggestions? How would I go about tracking the settings for the module title?

I remember this was a dnn core problem: on the printed version the title was explicitly hidden. I changed this behaviour and on newer versions this shouldn't happen. Which DNN version are you using?

Sorry, I didn't get the notification that you replied.

I am using DNN version 4.3.4.

The only control that looses the module title is the Content Manager module by

Invenmanager.com

Other modules (XMod, default Text/Html, etc.) are all working fine and show the right title with the print friendly page. But the CM module does not. He says it is your problem, or the core, as he doesn't have control over that, just the internal content.

Any ideas?

If you don't have the time to look into this, I would appreciate it if you would share the source so I can see if there is anything in the code that would be messing it up.

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

the problem is the TemplatePrint sko does not have anything to do with the ModuleTitle. Nowhere in my code I reference this property, what this module does is just configure the parameters SkinSrc and ContainerSrc that will select the skin for the printed page.

When I said I modified something to preserve the ModuleTitle I meant in the DNN core, because there was a bug there.

And you also pointed that this only happens with this module, so I'm suspecting the problem is there not here.

Do you remember what you fixed in the core? And for what version? I just want to make sure that the fix was carried forward and is in my version.

What is strange is that the Invenmanager module doesn't do anything with the module title either. It doesn't control that property. It references it in one place because it can do [ModuleTitle] replacement in the content, but never sets anything.

Pointers into the core that set the module title on a print friendly page would be helpful so I can see if the CM module is doing something that it should not. Perhaps it overrides a variable scope that is nulling some value that it should not be. I am lost at this point.
