Installation

Classic installation method here. It is delivered with a few options:

wp-print plugin options

Integration

you get the print icon adding the code <?php if ( function_exists(‘print_link’ ) print_link(); ?> in single.php for example.

Incompatibility with the zdmultilang plugin

My problem was to make it work with the zdmultilang plugin …

Indeed there seems to be an incompatibility at url level, that inhibits wp-print when zdmultilang adds its /fr at the beginning of the url.

I bypassed this problem changing three lines of the wp-print plugin, in the wp-print.php file, print_link() function:

// global $id;
global $id, $CurrentLanguagePermalink; 
 
// $using_permalink =get_option('permalink_structure');
$using_permalink = false;
 
// $print_link = get_permalink();
$print_link = "/cms/wordpress/?p=$id&lang=$CurrentLanguagePermalink";

Explanation

The aim is to keep your blog’s clean urls, but to add a “dirty” link on the printer’s icon.

If your blog is at your site’s root, the 3rd line would read:

$print_link = "/?p=$id&lang=$CurrentLanguagePermalink";

This trick only works with posts, I didn’t bother to look any further as I didn’t need it!

Last, here’s what integration in my theme looks like:

<?php if(function_exists(‘print_link’)) { ?>
<img src=”/cms/wordpress/wp-content/themes/inove/icons/imprimante16.png” align=”texttop” alt=”print” />
<a href=”/cms/wordpress/?p=<?php echo $post->ID; ?>&lang=<?php echo $CurrentLanguagePermalink; ?>&print=1″><?php _e(‘print’, ‘inove’); ?></a>
<?php } ?>
