 I took the idea from the pages of zope.org a long time ago.


In your standard header:

<dtml-if pp>

< Material that you want as header for the printable page >

<dtml-else>

< Material you want on your ordinary page, including navigation and 
images, but not the principal content.>  In my case, the ordinary page 
is a table with only two elements in the main row. The first element, 
the navigation, is defined here, as is the opening <td> for the second 
element. The printable page will contain only the second element (but 
not in a table).

</dtml-if>


In your standard_footer:

<dtml-unless pp>

</TD></TR>    #If pp is "true," there is no table defined
<TR><BR>      #and no link to the printable page
  <TD><p><dtml-var ZopeAttributionButton></p>
</TD>
<TD>
<A HREF="<dtml-var URL>?<dtml-if QUERY_STRING>
<dtml-var QUERY_STRING>&</dtml-if>pp=1">
Printable Page (without the Navigation Guide)
</A></TD>
</TR> </TABLE>

</dtml-unless>

</BODY></HTML>

 

Hope this helps.
