I was wondering of a good way to approach printing the “view” tab of a record? I would like to eliminate the frames so the the Current Record: label is in the top-left corner.

You can either create a custom print stylesheet, or you can create a special print template. The print stylesheet is probably the easier approach. You can specify that a style rule is only active for printing by placing a

Code: Select all

@media print { … }

in a stylesheet to override the default styles. You could e.g. hide certain sections of the page using the display: none rule.

Here is an example from the g2 module stylesheet that is set up to remove most of the frame when printing:

Code: Select all

@media print {    #left_column,    #top-section,    .fineprint,    .search_form,    .xf-button-bar {       display:none;    } }
