Print All Posts

Lets users who can print topics in a forum print every post in a topic on one page.

Features

• Adds a Print all link to the Topic tools menu, next to phpBB's own Print view. It opens in a new tab.
• phpBB's print view shows one page of posts at a time. Print all shows every post in the topic on a single printable page.
• Uses phpBB's existing Can print topic forum permission. Users without it don't see the link and can't open the page.

Upgrading from rmcgirr83/printallposts

This extension used to be Rich McGirr's rmcgirr83/printallposts. To move to this version:

1. Disable the old Print all posts in a topic extension in the ACP. Do not delete its data.
2. Upload this version to /ext/phpbbmodders/printallposts and enable it. The new version won't enable while the old one is still on, and it removes the old extension's entry from the extension list when it is enabled.
3. Delete the /ext/rmcgirr83/printallposts folder and purge the board cache.

If you disable the old extension from the command line (bin/phpbbcli.php) instead of the ACP, run bin/phpbbcli.php cache:purge before enabling the new one; the command-line disable doesn't clear the cache.
