Serious table problems

[Ploegvde]

I have some serious problems with tables I use in my Wiki. I use the
tables in templates. The output of the table or the use of the
template is the same in the Wiki. But the output to a PDF is a mess.
The tables store all kinds of important messages to our customers, who
use the Wiki. What ca I do?

I've attached 2 files:
1. An image of the output in the wiki >> TableProblemsV1.png
2. The PFD output >> TableProblemsV1.pdf

You can also look at: http://nl.reflexwiki.net/index.php?title=Zandbak

I hope anyone can help. If it can't be solved in de extension, maybe
someone has a tip of making the table massages in an other way.

Thanks.

[Ploegvde]

Anyone please?

I can't really test this since I can't fetch articles from your wiki or
view templates.

I suspect that using a template as an argument for another template is
the problem, but I am speculating...

{{ReflexField|{{ModuleWarningInLine|Order}}TEST|Testing}}

Could you please post a minimal example on http://simple.pediapress.com/w

Best,
Volker

Hi,
sorry that it took forever to look at this problem. I filed a bugreport
at http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/ticket/877 - my colleague needs to
look at that more closely.

[Volker Haas]

The issue has been fixed - your example should work now.

Regards,
Volker

volke...@brainbot.com http://www.brainbot.com/

[Ploegvde]

Thanks for helping! Unfortunately the fix is not completely right. If
you try the example on http://simple.pediapress.com/wiki/ReflexWiki
you see that there goes something wrong with the category link.

The PDF should print “Alleen met module: Reflex Order”, where “reflex
Order is a category link”. Instead the PDF prints
“Alleen met module: Reflex Order
Categorie:Reflex”

The second issue is that the table was aligned right. The PDF aligns
the table left.
So, please some extra help would be great.

Volker, any opinion on that one?

I fixed that ticket

Table alignment is ignored. If it wasn't ignored the problem would still
not be fixed, since the table "floats" on the right which is also not
supported.

The real fix is to change the markup and only use a single table.

Ok, Thanks for the bugreport. I wish to change the template for
printing, but i can't figure out how to do that.

I have read to use templatename/print or printtemplatename, but none
of the options work. Any help would be welcom.

The default (for English) is templatename/Print (with an uppercase "P"), but you can check/configure, which pattern is actually used by looking at/editing the system message coll-print_template_pattern

http://your/wiki/MediaWiki:Coll-print_template_pattern

-- Johannes Beigel

[Ploegvde]

I've tried ?Print and /Afdrukken (Dutch) after making the page
MediaWiki:Coll-print_template_pattern. But whatever I try, I only get
the default.

What do you mean with "?Print" (why the "?") and with "making the page". You can look at the system message on a Wikipedia, e.g.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Coll-print_template_pattern

The page contains a pattern for print template names, where "$1" is a placeholder for the actual template name. I.e.: if a template is called Foo and said system message is set to "$1/Bar", the code checks if there's a template named Foo/Bar, and, if it exists, it is used instead of template Foo when rendering PDFs.

Here is an example:

http://simple.pediapress.com/wiki/Test_Print_Template

Hope that helps,

The ? was a type mistake. I don't know what I did wrong Friday. I
needed the weekend rest I think. It works now, so problem solved.
Thanks for helping!

One last problem. My table is centered in the PDF. Why? On screen it
is not centered.

See: http://simple.pediapress.com/wiki/ReflexWiki#Wrong alignment -
Table is centered

I've had this problem before (issue 2) and it was fixed, see:

http://groups.google.com/group/mwlib/browse_thread/thread/67660c738fc2593f/6c373fdc6eb124da?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=erwin#6c373fdc6eb124da
