Question

We output some of our pages as HTML, so they can be distributed to our customer. Mehod is to -> Select 'Printable' link -> Right Click -> Save As-> 'Web Page, HTML Only'.

Problem is, it saves the Edit buttons on tables which, if pressed, tries to access our intranet.

How do we suppress the 'Edit' controls?

Answer

I do something like this (you might have to change the IF part based upon what your printable link does)

%EDITTABLE{editbutton="%IF{ "$'URLPARAM{template}'='viewprint'" then="hide" else=""}%"}%

Look also into the Tag:export extensions, namely PublishWebPlugin and PublishContrib.

Thanks for your contributions, I tried Kevin's method, which gives much of what I want, except -

I have 3 pages

• Template
• Topic1 (editable)
• Topic2 (non-editable

Topic1 is based on Template and has a number of editable tables. I have included the IF statement suggested by Kevin on the Template, and I'm passing a parameter into Topic1 that sets the edit buttons to visible. Topic 2, which is the page to output as HTML, uses topic1 as a template, and uses

%includes

to pull the sections onto the page. The problem is that the parameter is being replaced by it's value on Topic1, so when Topic2 does the include, it's parameter does not get used i.e., the line on Topic 1 looks something like

editbutton="%IF{ "'$ ON'='OFF'" then="hide" else=""}%"
