Add Print Button next to submit

    Will be possible to add a print button, so that they can print before submitting the form to get a hardcopy of their submission.

    Hi,

    I think, it would be better to add the print button on review page, so the user can print the submitted entry before completely submit the form.
    To do this, you need to turn on "show review page" on form properties.
    Then, edit "includes/view-functions.php" file and go to around line 6002 ~ 6012, you will see these codes :

    if(!empty($form_review_use_image)){
    			$button_markup =<<<EOT
    <input id="review_submit" class="submit_img_primary" type="image" name="review_submit" alt="{$form_review_primary_text}" src="{$form_review_primary_img}" />
    <input id="review_back" class="submit_img_secondary" type="image" name="review_back" alt="{$form_review_secondary_text}" src="{$form_review_secondary_img}" />
    EOT;
    		}else{
    			$button_markup =<<<EOT
    <input id="review_submit" class="button_text btn_primary" type="submit" name="review_submit" value="{$form_review_primary_text}" />
    <input id="review_back" class="button_text btn_secondary" type="submit" name="review_back" value="{$form_review_secondary_text}" />
    EOT;

    then you can change it to

    if(!empty($form_review_use_image)){
    			$button_markup =<<<EOT
    <input id="review_submit" class="submit_img_primary" type="image" name="review_submit" alt="{$form_review_primary_text}" src="{$form_review_primary_img}" />
    <input id="review_back" class="submit_img_secondary" type="image" name="review_back" alt="{$form_review_secondary_text}" src="{$form_review_secondary_img}" />
    <input class="button_text btn_secondary" type="button" name="Print" value="Print" onClick="javascript:window.print();" />
    EOT;
    		}else{
    			$button_markup =<<<EOT
    <input id="review_submit" class="button_text btn_primary" type="submit" name="review_submit" value="{$form_review_primary_text}" />
    <input id="review_back" class="button_text btn_secondary" type="submit" name="review_back" value="{$form_review_secondary_text}" />
    <input class="button_text btn_secondary" type="button" name="Print" value="Print" onClick="javascript:window.print();" />
    EOT;

    Thank you very much. It worked. I don't know about php but i want the print to look like an image and not text.

    It works just fine. BUT it would be better if the print option was on the form property tab for EACH form so that if the review before submit is checked, the print is shown as an option.

    Hi: I want to add a print button as well and am using Machform 3.5, but there are only 2495 lines of code in the includes/view-functions file. Am I missing something here??? Thanks

    I would also like to add this. When I replaced the code it resulted in errors. Is there an update to this code?
