Updating sites from v3.0 template to v3.1

 

Version 3.1 of the template core HTML file adds a default Print tool in the toolbar for template pages displaying the optional toolbar. When a visitor clicks on the Print tool link, a new window will open displaying the page content formatted for printing. A Print button will also appear above the page content to enable printing.

The Print tool link can be disabled so it will not appear in the toolbar if desired. However, its use is strongly encouraged to provide WSU site visitors a consistent printing interface.

These instructions explain how to add the Print tool function code to a page prior to v3.1.

NOTE: Please check that the Print tool code isn't already present. If it is present, then refer to the "Disabling the Print tool" tab above to learn how to turn the function on and off.
