Template Settings

The code below overrides the default print settings. It can be added inside a script block in the head of a print template.

Code Block
//Leave the properties which you want to change, you can safely remove the rest
var defaultSettings = {
    'marginTop' : 10, //mm
    'marginRight' : 10, //mm
    'marginBottom' : 10, //mm
    'marginLeft' : 10, //mm
    'pageSize' : 'A4', //full list http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qprinter.html#PageSize-enum
    'orientation' : 'portrait', //Possible values 'landscape' & 'portrait'
    'headerHeight' : 0, //mm
    'headerPadding' : 0, //mm
    'footerHeight' : 15, //mm
    'footerPadding' : 1 //mm
    'scales' : [ 250000, 125000, 50000, 25000, 10000, 5000, 2500, 1250, 1000, 500, 250, 125 ]
}

 


You may control the templates settings using the above defaultSettings. The values specified above are the default settings and as such may be removed entirely if you wish your template to use the defaults.

Scales

The ‘scales’ option above shows the default scales and as such may be removed altogether. To customise your own range of scales simply specify your own entries for the parameter. If a user enters a scale that is outside the defined range then the scale will default to the maximum or minimum entry as required.

...

Warning
  1. Due to some restrictions adjusting the height of the map element to correctly position it in the selected page size; you will need to adjust the header and footer height or padding using these options. PLEASE DO NOT USE CSS TO ADJUST HEIGHT OR PADDING OF HEADER AND FOOTER.
  2. At present the page size and print scale only generate accurate results when defined in Millimeters, as above, and not pixels etc.

JavaScript

Code Block
<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/lib/prototype-1.6.0.3.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="../FileIncluderJS.aspx"></script>
        <script>Astun.JS.IncludeJS('print');</script>

...

Warning

No JavaScript files should be removed as the maps and will not work properly.

Defining a Style Sheet

Code Block
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="css/templates/astun-A4-common.css" />

...

If you wish to use a different style sheet then please change this entry to reflect the style sheet you wish to use.

You can change the order of the header or footer; change the position of the map element; add extra css classes to the elements to control using css.
 Warning
Please do not change or remove the the 'IDs' or 'CLASS' from any element as this can create problems.
Changing the Logo & Copyright
You may also change the logo but make sure the height of the logo image does not exceed the height of the footer/header provided in the Template Settings and of course the copyright text. Also please use .png or .jpg for the logo images, .gif images will not work. 
 Tip
The PDF generation does not support .gif images.
Using the iShare predefined Selectors
There are currently four iShare selectors that you may use within your print template. These selectors may be used as many times as required in the template, we have used three of these in the following example.
 
 
SelectorDescription
isharemaps-edit-inline
This displays an editable box where the user can type any information they require to be printed.  This is designed to be used in line with other text or on its own. Here we have pre-populated the entry with iShare printing” but the user will be able to change this.
isharemaps-edit-block
This displays an editable block designed to be used on block elements such as paragraphs.
isharemaps-print-date
This displays the current date
isharemaps-scale
This displays the currently selected scale for the map
