Can I ask, has anyone ever emailed the contents of the print page.
I would like to forward the information on it via an email,
Thanks

Go to the example at this link:
The following example sends a notification email to an employee when a user submits a new record. The email contains the record data.

Use the same code at the footer or header HOOK of the table you want in case 'print-detailview'
I believe this should do it.
have a nice day

Add a field in the detail view and insert the email you want, make it as a variable to pass to the hook function.

There are a number of browser extensions that will do this. I use one for Chrome called Explain & Send Screenshots. Awesome Screenshot also works well.
There's also a print driver (for Windows) called Print2Email. Not free, but there's a trial version. And there's probably more than just this one.

You can do something like this:
Let`s say the field name you create is eMail
Change the code from this:
To This:
Code: Select all
// mail recipient
"{$data['eMail']}"
