Hmm ... it can be done without editing class_bbcode.php and without having to modify the printthread Templates

In pdfthread.php
FIND

PHP Code:


			
// #######################################################################

// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################

// #######################################################################

BELOW that ADD

PHP Code:


			
$vbulletin->templatecache['bbcode_php'] = $vbulletin->templatecache['bbcode_php_pdfthread'];

$vbulletin->templatecache['bbcode_html'] = $vbulletin->templatecache['bbcode_html_pdfthread'];

$vbulletin->templatecache['bbcode_quote'] = $vbulletin->templatecache['bbcode_quote_pdfthread'];

$vbulletin->templatecache['bbcode_code'] = $vbulletin->templatecache['bbcode_code_pdfthread'];

Done

There is no pdfthread.php anymore Kirby. You just removed it.

Very great that you do not need any code modifications now.

Is there an option to set a variable in template to begin a new (pdf-) site? I would like to have a new pdf-page after every posting (#1 is on page 1, #2 is on page 2, #3 is page 3 ...) How can I do that?

great hack indeed thanks. just a question..can some forums be excluded ? i do not want my users print all threads posted on board..i mean can this be shown as active on some forum and others not ? or maybe set for some users groups and others not? thank you again.

Just put in a conditional for forums in the showthread template.
