[SOLVED] Printing, PDF or Paper Output

[SOLVED] Printing, PDF or Paper Output was created by BobKillmeier
What tools can I use with Community Builder to create formatted reports, lists etc.?

Some of our members wish to print a complete directory. Others would like to print another users profile but include a Map between their homes.

I've been looking at Joomla extensions and related products such as Forms and Lists but have not been able to locate one which permits the output alternatives I need to provide.

Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

We have no printing or reporting features. You'd need to look into 3rd party extensions to provide reporting. You can print any Joomla page however by adding the below to the URL.

&tmpl=component&print=1&layout=default

Example as follows.

index.php?option=com_comprofiler&tmpl=component&print=1&layout=default

The above would make it easy for me to print my own profile.

Thank you your reply does function.

Please point me to some third party reporting solutions. Commercial is OK. Over the weekend I spent several hours looking at Extensions and Modules for Tables, Forms and Lists but none appear to support printing.

I need a solution that can create dynamic reports and then print them so that the end user can just select the report and it will create either a PDF or be available to their printer.

I do not have any to recommend. I suggest checking out the below category on JED for such extensions.

We don't have anything of the sort. You'll need to look into 3rd party solutions or develop something to fit your needs.
