Hi,

Is there any possibility where users could print/download their profile as a PDF?

Or point me to any extensions that could make it happen?

Yes, it's possible with some codes to make it cleaner.

Or point me to any extensions that could make it happen?

Ken, Thank you for your response.

Could you kindly let me know what codes are we talking about? or are you suggesting PhocaPDF? I would obviously prefer hand written codes.

You can do some hand (or foot, depending on the programmer) written codes using pdflib. You can easily see the users details in mysql by running this

SELECT
#_social_users.user_id,
#_social_fields_data.datakey,
#_social_fields_data.`data`
FROM
#_social_users
INNER JOIN #_social_fields_data ON #_social_fields_data.uid = #_social_users.user_id


Just change the # with your db prefix

btw, on a second thought.

What's missing if i simply use a print stylesheet to the template and add a print button manually at the user profile page?

Hello,

I am not really sure what you are actually going after here but if you are trying to render the profile via PDF, I am not too sure how is this related to a "print" stylesheet? Print stylesheet basically makes it print-able but to be honest, I am not really sure how you would want to style this.

Finally having a look at this again.. Will check out PhocaPDF and keep you guys posted.

PS: was actually searching for someone who might have done it and found my old thread instead.

Any further tips would be highly appreciated

Ninging, can you tell us what exactly this would be used for on your website?

I think we are all curious!

Ninging, you also need to fix your background image on the login page. I suggest using the following:

.registration #gkPageContent {
background: url("/images/headers/registration-guy-1.jpg") repeat scroll 0 0 / cover rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
}

See here 1920x1080 resolution:

After Change: http://screencast.com/t/ygkMbpRmz4IB
