I hacked up the Shutterfly module to give me a local printing module. It basically openes the largest sized image in the window without the theme wrapped around it. It only works on individual photos, not the cart. zip download attached. tar.gz available on my site.

only for single photos? hmm, doesn't make too much sense to use a modified shutterfly module then. you could have created a module that adds a "Print View" action to each item / item drop down... but you could as well make a cart plugin, that shows 1 list of fullsize images on white background. |

It had the bits I needed (i.e. grabbed the largest image URL the user had permission to, and added to the item actions in the sidebar.) I took out most of the cart stuff. I was trying to think of a good way to print multiple images, but I don't know how to generate page breaks in HTML. I assume you would need this to make sure that each photo printed on a separate page. (We have a printer that does 4x6 really nicely.) |

What version of Gallery is giving you this problem? Any (real) module developers want to chime in as to why a module that requires an older version of the core doesn't just work with a newer version? Thanks, |

Unfortunately my Linux box is down now, so I haven't updated Gallery to the latest bits. I'll be able to take a look when my new hardware arrives. |

Is the aim of this one to get a full screen view of the image? Sounds good Looking forward to the g2.1 version. Gaynor |

That's exactly the goal. The full sized image opens in a new browser window. |

To answer the question about the old module not working with the new version is because when they do a major API jump like they did in G2.1 they change things bad enough that modifications need to be made to the basic code. When they do minor API jumps it will work. |

Not yet. I've upgraded to 2.1, but I'm having some problems with my gallery, and haven't had any time to update this module. |

This would be a nice feature to see. Hopefully you are making progress. Are you having the image output to a seperate HTML page? If so i might be able to help you add the print button etc. |

Sorry guys, no news. Bharat finally figured out my problems with my gallery, but in the mean time, I got a promotion at work, and its become a massive time suck (the previous person in this job left the company, so I got no hand off, and there's no documentation.) |

I modified the localprint module to be compatibel with the latest version of Gallery (CoreAPI 7.4 and ModuleAPI 3.0). Furthermore the module now has an automatic print dialog. Still to do returning the browser to the original picture after printing. |

I tried it. It does not print the image. It comes up after you select an image to print and there is no image there. I select print anyway and it prints the entire web page not the picture image. --------- |

Hello, I have created a gallery <http://jpcrazy.com/galleria/main.php>, I would like the members use my Mpix account <http://www.mpix.com> to print instead of shutterfly or the other options that installed with gallery 2. Does anyone know how to set this up? JP |

I get exactly the same problem. I found really hard to believe we are the only two experiencing the same issue, which is a big shame because one of the main reasons I post my photos online is so my family can order pictures directly from my site and it is not working. |
