I would like a print version page ie no header, no footer, no layout
I want the category page on plain white paper without header, footer, layout
How do I get the category page without the attached layout.tpl please?
It is for a price list
Thank-you

Here's a little article that might help.

You don't really need any of that, it can all be done using CSS...

Once you made your print.css, the only change you need in your layout.tpl is you need to add this line into the heading:
If you manage to make a decent print.css, I may include this into the core.

Note: you can use "display:none" in the PHP to prevent areas you don't want from showing, such as header/footer/sidebar etc.

I'm missing something here.
I understand that I need to do a print.css and link to it in the layout.tpl
But what I don't understand is how do I tell open cart when to use the default.css and when to use the print.css. Otherwise, Open Cart will hide my eg menu on "normal" category pages.

Do I have to make a copy of layout.tpl and use that for my price list so it doesn't muck up my normal layout.tpl ?

That is handled by that line hm2k gave:
Browsers know that when you click "print" on a webpage, that it needs to load that file when printing

OIC. I was missing this bit of knowledge

Thank-you all

See where it says as opposed to the normal
