Hi,

I am using a catalog publisher and I am encountring two main problems.

1. I am using generate pdf link on a web page with quries pdf=true&landscape=true which is working perfect for me. Now i am trying to change the pdf orientation to lanscape mode which is generated by catalog publisher. is it posible and how?

2. At the moment the catalog publisher list view and the pdf it generates have the same template and styling so is it possible that both have different styling and template?? 

 

Best Regards,

Umar

Hi Umar

@1: No, not currently

@2:

  • You can overrule the Layout template in the querystring like this: &LayoutTemplate=Designs/Condition/Print.html
  • You can overrule the catalog list product template in the querystring  like this: &view=otherProductList.html

Hi Nicolai,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I am now able to change the layout template by querystring you mentioned but it dont seem to be working with catalog publishing. e.g when we add  products to catalog  and click catalog publishing which is using " /Default.aspx?ID=<!--@Global:Page.ID-->&CatalogPublishingcmd=preview " so here if i use querystring "&LayoutTemplate=Designs/Condition/Print.html" OR "&view=otherProductList.html" it always show &CatalogPublishingcmd=preview which is catalog publishing regular page template and its the same template used when we create catalog which gives the pdf download link.

Is there any thing I am missing? I hope it make sence.

Best Regards,

Umar

Hi Nicolai,

As per the demand of the customer we would really like to have ecom catalog publisher PDF in landscape mode, so is it posible that we can extand the functionality of the module by some custom code so it generates the pdf in landscape mode? Or any other alternative you can suggest?

 

Best Regards,

Umar
