228754 - Need UI to Select Print Options and Layouts

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Calendar :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Peter Lairo]

It would be useful to be able to select from various different layouts when
printing. Different circumstances and needs require different layouts and
options for printouts.

This should include a UI for:

*Main Print Dialog* (see screenshot "Organizer-Printing-1-MainScreen")
- Layout (e.g., daily-calendar+tasks, weekly timeline, only tasks, etc.)
- Paper Size (e.g., A4, Letter, various "planners", labels, etc.)
- Portrait / Landscape
- Range of events/Tasks to print (All, From-To, Selected)
- Number of Copies (if >1: group or collate)

*Layouts*
- Suggested Layouts, see screenshot "Organizer-Printing-2-LayoutOptions"
- Example layouts, see the subsequent screenshots

Peter, if you still have that e-mail, I hope to take up this stuff in the next 2
months or so, but some of your attachments are a bit hard to comprehend those
layouts you were going for...

if you could re-attach a few to "look" better, or just try and explain a bit
better for each one.

for example:
(Example Layout 1):
    Daily Page.
    Full Date on Header Line
    Day Number, small in left margin
    Day Name small next to day number (right side)...
       ...may bleed to content area.
    Tasks (To-Do) List, for day
    Each day's calendar entries, listed earliest first, (All Day events at top)
       ...Start date listed, Then Title
       ...under title Duration of event
       ...horizontal divider.
    !if Event_start < today && Event_end >= today
        then:
           Continued from "Event Start"
           Title of event.
           Remaining Duration
           ~To be listed above all day events.
     !end-if

That was the best attachment I could go on for an example, correct me if I am
incorrect in your suggestions, would rather implement these first then create
new ones.

Thank you for that, I have degressed a bit from Working on calendar directly
unfortunately, but I may still pick this bug up in the future at some point if
it remains "open".

I do hope to be able to print easily in similar layouts to what you have as
well...We will see what comes of it!

I'd also like to be able to select whether to print location, notes, etc. for
each event. Currently, this is pre-set depending on whether you select day view,
week view or month view.

Works for me using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.17pre) Gecko/20080714 Calendar/0.9pre. 

Printer setting like paper size and margins can be set via File -> Page Setup dialog. Print settings like various layouts and date ranges can be set via File -> Print dialog.

Stefan: You misunderstood this bug. It's not about "paper size and margins", it's about displaying the calendar info in different *ways* (e.g., only appointments; appointments *and* calls; etc.).

Take a look at the screenshots - especially the second one (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=137558).

All features requested in Comment #0 are available in current builds as stated in Comment #19. I'd suggest that you file new enhancement requests for the open issues that are not mentioned in Comment #0. Please include only one issue per enhancement request.

Comment 22

[Stefan Sitter [:ssitter]]

And maybe I need to refine Comment #19:
Sunbird does support print options.
Sunbird does offer UI to change print options.
Sunbird does support different print layouts and includes three sample layouts.
Sunbird does offer UI to select different print layouts.
Sunbird does support adding new print layouts via extensions.
Sunbird does support printing only selected appointments.
Sunbird does support printing only appointments from a certain date range.
Sunbird does not support printing tasks (but thats Bug 325137).
Sunbird does not support printing calls (whatever that means).
