Request by Malcolm
« on: May 16, 2009, 09:39:36 AM »
Ive been trying to find the posting by Malcolm where he requested some extra print facilities, one of which was to print a list of plants which didnt have photos.
Cant find it using Search
Anybody know what topic its in?

Topic about Re: Ipheion uniflorum - 5 entries down from the top.

It's a possibility.

Good find!
It was brought up there to begin with, but theres another topic with specifications.

I'm not having much luck with the Search feature on the forum.
Mnd you, I'm more than pleased with everthing else  :)
Did you use the search to find that?

Yes, I clicked on the Search button below the large search box and entered "print plant list."

That was the only topic that came up, so different wording must have been used in the additional topic you mentioned that isn't coming back in the search list.

Thanks Laurie
Ive updated GA032 to provide a print button which prints a list of plants which dont have photos.
I know that was one of the things Malcolm needed.

1 download required:
http://www.ideasgenie.com/updates-igpro/GA032-dl.exe
Should indicate Version 42

Initial screen, in Reviews mode
The new print button is at bottom of list.

Let me know how it goes, please

Success George.  8)

For the Review I selected 4 plants from my personal database - 2 that had photos and 2 that didn't.

The print preview showed all 4 plants in the list.

I should have said, you have to set the filter in the initial screen to whatever type of list you want.
In REVIEWS mode, there are 5 filter options above the list
The default is ALL.
In Malcolms case, he would click the radio button to set the filter to No Photos
Then when you click Print, the list of plants have been pre-selected.

Give that a try and your list should then print 2 plants Laurie

ALSO:
When you click Print, I havent activated the code behind the Include Review Text check box.

That clarifies things nicely George.

I selected 4 different plants from my database - 2 with photos and 2 without.

On screen GA032S01 I had the list of the 4 plants I'd just added to the Review.

I then clicked the Radio button above this list to No Photos and automatically the 2 plant names I'd previously added with photos were removed from the list.

The print preview then showed the 2 'non-photo' plants to be printed.

Laurie.

I am back. Yes it works a treat, shows I need another 171 pictures to complete the WPG  :)

I am very thankfull to you George for remembering my request.

Being cheeky now  ;D  it would be great to be able to print that list out.
If the Edit/copy was enabled on the top line, I could copy and paste into Word. Failing that an extra button in GA034S01 would do the trick.

If either of these options entails a lot of work please do not do it.

The original posting you were trying to find is here, 4 posts down  http://www.flowergenie.co.uk/ideas/forum/index.php/topic,937.msg5398.html#msg5398

this is the most instantaneous thing Ive ever done  :)
There is a new Print button when you are in Review mode Malcolm. Its at the bottom of the list of plants in your review.
Remember to set the filter at the top before clicking the Print button

Apologies George, I did not see the print button, fantastic, many thanks.

Was the print button there before the update ?

No, that was the main part of the update, Malcolm.
The extra filter option No Photos was also added.

I'll have a look at the other thread tomorrow. Just in from the garden (looking back out, its pitch black!) and need to have a shower rewind the football and have a relaxing beer.
