#23 Text added to printout

[Artur Illenseer]

Hello,
its important for out document control to allow printouts for work stations, but it needs to be clear that once the document is printed, its not controlled anymore. So we need a Box with a warning that is not visible in the article, but added when printed.

Hi,
maybe this documentation will help you: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Tagline_(Site_Subtitle)
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sitenotice

Another option might be a transclusion like {{:Printtext}} which you can include manually after the print of an article. Like a template. You just have to define your resulting text and the needed ParserFunctions in the Article "Printtext".

Otherwise, it won't be a big thing to programm a little extension to write a note for printed articles automatically.
If you interested, just contact the info@hallowelt.com. :)

Thanks for the answer!
As far as I understood the with the links I cant achieve what I wanted. The Tagline article doesnt exist.
As for the tansclusion, I´m affraid my knowledge of mediawiki is not enough. If its not too complicated, I would appreciate an ellaboration on it. I want to note also, that this additional text needs to be on the exported PDF, which then will be printed.
Otherwise I will contact HalloWelt!
Thanks!

The Tagline Link needs the "(Site_Subtitle)" in addition ;)
Here the steps for a transclusion:
1. create the Article "Printtext"
- write your text, that should be included on printed pages - you can use parser funktions like {{#dateformat:date}} https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic_words#Parser_functions

save the article...
2. print out an article..
3. open it - after the print
4. edit in wiki-code
- fill in {{:Printtext}}

save & close
finished.. ;)

would that procedure be necessary for each printout?
I´m not sure how to edit in wiki-code AFTER the print. When printing articles it will first be opened as a pdf and then printed (physical print)

oh, ok, I guess there was a misunderstanding.. Would it be helpful to edit the Output Text of every PDF to something like:
"PDF was created on November 21st ([date])- please keep in mind, that there might be an more actual version in the wiki ([article-link])" ?

on you server
extensions/BlueSpiceFoundation/data/PDFTemplates/BlueSpice - there you can edit the disclaimer of your PDF. Then you have to edit the path of the Template directory under "universal export" in your admin preferences to extensions/BlueSpiceFoundation/data/PDFTemplates/BlueSpice
