Bugspam: Adding meta keyword to tracking bugs, something they should have had
from the start. :P

Default QA Contact for Calendar has changed.  If you wish to remain the QA
contact for this bug, feel free to change it back.

It would be good to be able to print in several formats.  Filofax and Daytimer
classic would be widely useful.

We're going to make XUL stuff printable in Mozilla, too (e.g. no need anymore to
do seperate code for display and printing :) - is there any interest in using
that feature in Calendar ?

Hi All,

  Not being able to print the calendar is a total
deal killer for business use.  :-(  

  Please fix soon!  :-)

Attachment: functional print dialog - all views

I have sent the contents of this on to Mike Potter for inclusion in the
calendar product, and have sent these contents here as well for folks to use.
contents are 3 files:
printDialog.xul - the print dialog itself in all its glory
printDialog.js - the javascript that makes the print dialog work
newprint.js  - the function that needs to replace print() in calendar.js

you also need to modify menuOverlay.xul so that the File->Print option is not
disabled.

this print dialog will print month, day, week, and multiweek views; it will
also print currently selected events.

it has an option to exclude private meetings from printing

it prints only currently active calendars, so lets say you want to print a
blank calendar with only holidays on it, you just go to the Calendar tab and
un-check you other calendars, leaving your holiday calendar checked, then print
- only the holidays will appear on the printed calendar.

the print actually generates an HTML file which opens in Navigator, from where
you can print using all of the available Navigator print options.

enjoy

Attachment: revised print dialog - using Eric Belhaire's weeknumber and dateformat functions

just printDialog.js is updated here, to use the proper weeknumber and time
format programs from the dateutils.js package

It'd be nice if one could print to Adobe PDF, as you can in IE and Outlook fx.

Comment 10

[thebeastwitheyesthatstared]

It would be very usefull, if one could print to Adobe PDF, as you can in other
programs on win32. The reason is that people can then also share that PDF
(iCalendar isn't always easy to get people to use).

hello,

i've got a very strange bug on printing

printing has good result with all months except january 2004

in the html page there is only "printed"
January 2004

it's a quite busy month for me and it's impossible to get anythingelse for it
(with others months no problems)

Sincerely

We don't need this tracking bug, because the underlying requirement document is outdated and has therefore been removed.
