http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7563 Bug #: 7563 Summary: Silent print slips using Firefox PlugIn jsPrintSetup and new staff client preference Classification: Unclassified Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Circulation AssignedTo: kyle.m.hall@gmail.com ReportedBy: veron@veron.ch QAContact: koha.sekjal@gmail.com CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com This is a proposition to implement silent printing for slips. In opposition to the solution with an additional Firefox (Portable) installation (see: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Using_Portable_Firefox_as_a_Koha_Client), this solution works with the standard Firefox installation (+ PlugIn jsPrintSetup) . jsPrintSetup e.g. allows to set printer, print silent, change header and footer, see: http://jsprintsetup.mozdev.org/ The overall concept is to have a new staff client preference where one can enter the necessary JavaScript. If this preference is empty, Koha falls back to te default behaviour. I did a proof of concept with the following steps: --Step 1 -------------------------- Add somewhere to staff_client.pref, e.g. near intranetstylesheet: ---------------------------------- - - "Use the following JavaScript for printing slips. Define at least function printThenClose(). For use e.g. with Firefox PlugIn jsPrintSetup, see http://jsprintsetup.mozdev.org/:" - pref: intranetslipprinterjs type: textarea class: code ---------------------------------- (Suppose this will be pootleized to have translations?) --Step 2--------------------------- Add somewhere to moremember.pl: ---------------------------------- $template->param( intranetslipprinterjs => C4::Context->preference('intranetslipprinterjs' ) ); ---------------------------------- --Step 3---------------------------------------------- Replace hard coded JavaScript function printThenClose() in moremember-print.tt and moremember-receipt.tt with: ------------------------------------------------------ <script language="javascript"> [% IF ( intranetslipprinterjs ) %] [% intranetslipprinterjs %] [% ELSE %] function printThenClose() { window.print(); window.close(); } [% END %] </script> --Step 4---------------------------------------------------------------------- Login to Koha, go to Home › Administration › System Preferences (Staff Client) and edit the new field intranetslipprinterjs to print silent, set printer etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ function printThenClose() { try { //Try to print using jsPrintSetup Plug-In in Firefox //If it is not installed fall back to default prnting jsPrintSetup.clearSilentPrint(); jsPrintSetup.setOption('printSilent', 1); //Choose printer using one or more of the following functions //jsPrintSetup.getPrintersList... //jsPrintSetup.setPrinter... //Set Header and footer... jsPrintSetup.setOption('headerStrLeft', ''); jsPrintSetup.setOption('headerStrCenter', ''); jsPrintSetup.setOption('headerStrRight', ''); jsPrintSetup.setOption('footerStrLeft', ''); jsPrintSetup.setOption('footerStrCenter', ''); jsPrintSetup.setOption('footerStrRight', ''); jsPrintSetup.print(); window.close(); } catch(err) { //Default printing if jsPrint-setup is not available window.print(); window.close(); } } --Step 5--------------------------------------------- ...and install jsPrintSetup PlugIn in Firefox... -----------------------------------------------
From now on, slips will print silently with Firefox and will show default behaviour if jsPrintSetup is not installed or if you make use of an other browser. All other printing will behave like before.
