Hello,

I've installed the PrintRiver plugin (v 0.1.0) from http://printriver.tiddlyspot.com/ to my Wiki and also to a fresh and empty one. On both is the same issue:
1.) The button.png in the top yellow toolbar is not there
2.) font-size for print uses the Wiki 'Theme Tweaks' values.
(my 'Font-size tiddler body' and 'Line height' is 22px)
--> this is too big for printing...

--> changed in '$:/plugins/BurningTreeC/PrintRiver/Stylesheet/print':
...
<!-- orig
.tc-print-tiddler-list-view .tc-tiddler-frame .tc-tiddler-body table {
    font-size: {{$:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/metrics/bodyfontsize}};
    line-height: {{$:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/metrics/bodylineheight}};
} -->
.tc-print-tiddler-list-view .tc-tiddler-frame .tc-tiddler-body table {
font-size: 8px; !important;
line-height: 10px; !important;
}
...
--> changes have no affect to printout - what's wrong?

Thanks for feedback
Stefan

sorry - previous post ad 2.) was not correct --> corrected to

.tc-print-tiddler-list-view .tc-tiddler-frame .tc-tiddler-body table {
font-size: 8px !important;
line-height: 10px !important;
}

--> font-size didn't change in printout...

I have the same problem that the Tools-symbol is not there anymore in newer tiddlywiki-versions.

Sorry for only writing a 'me too' here and not a solution, but a decent and quick printing of tiddlers is very important to me.

My workaround is saving the tiddler, opening it separately and then printing it.
Are there other, quick solutions?  

Best regards
Axel

I am anyhow wondering why tiddlywiki does not have a better printing-support, which is mainly export-to-pdf in these days, built in.

I often need to send tiddlers to others by email. My current way is, as I wrote,  saving the tiddler as html, opening it separately and then printing it as pdf.
 Does anyone have quicker solution?

Best regards
Axel

You can use the "URL METHOD" to create emails directly.

This is not a TW issue per se (it does not inhibit anything). Rather it is about leveraging common protocols. For that you need to grasp the procedure.

I could maybe hunt down some work done on this.

Hi TiddlyTweeter,

Can you elaborate on the 'URL METHOD' so that I can evaluate whether it makes sense for me.

Thank you and best regards
Axel

P.S.: Oh, sorry, I think we should perhaps not capture this thread with a different topic. 
Shall we move this discussion to a new thread?

Yes. The OP is about Print River primarily. Emailing directly from Tiddlers is a different issue.

Hello,

any ideas to
  • fix missing Tools-symbol?
  • overrule fontsize (defined in  $:/ControlPanel / Theme Tweaks) when printing?
If not - are there other print plugins available?

Thanks
Stefan

Hi all,

Bumping this up as I have the same issue as S². Has anyone found a way forward or knows how to contact BurningTreeC (as he is still contributing to TiddlyWiki according to his Github page). The plugin works fine on http://printriver.tiddlyspot.com/, which runs on TW 5.1.17. What could have broken it? 

Best,

Steph Butera

Hi there, sorry that I've seen this post so late

I'll definitively update the PrintRiver plugin and keep it up to date in the future

I need some time for that, but maybe the next week or the week after it could be ready

Best wishes, BTC
