How do I put a Print link in webhelp topics?

[sumaya77]

I have a RH 10 Webhelp project, and need to add a print link or print button to each topic. Is there a way to do that?

Hi Peter,

Two problems:

1) I tried the steps on your site but I couldn't get it to work. Not sure where I went wrong. The print button only partially displays in  the navigation pane, and it doesn't do anything.

Also, there is a second issue: My webhelp system is CSH, so when a user clicks the help link in the web app, they get just the single CSH topic,  with no nav pane. There is a small Show link in the topic that opens up the nav pane but some users won't know what that is and might notice it. I was hoping for a print link or button that would show up on the single topic,  in the area of the breadcrumbs. Might there be some javascript that I could add to each topic?

Hi there

You could add a link to the header area of a Master Page (or to a Snippet) that has a Javascript print command in it.

A typical code would look like this:

window.print();
