Printable PDF of HowToJoomla Articles... Interested?

Written by Cory

Tuesday, 26 June 2007

I have recently received a request from one of my readers to provide a printable PDF of all of the articles on HowToJoomla. My first thought was, "Great idea!", but after I looked into what it would take to make this happen, I started to realize that it might be difficult to accomplish given the fact that my time is limited due to other obligations.

So, my question to you is, how many of you would be interested in a PDF file with all of the HowToJoomla articles? If so, how much would you be willing to pay for this service? $1? $5? More than that? My first idea is to use a service like Fundable to raise enough money from your donations so that I can create this PDF and then release it to the community for free.

What do you think? Please respond in the comments below.

Cory, there's a (commercial) component that was written especially for the purpose of exporting all content on a site to a PDF: http://extensions.joomla.org/c...Itemid,35/

I'm not affiliated in any way but thought you might like to know.

Kind regards,
Zorro

Hi Zorro,

Thanks for the heads up on that. That looks like a nice component, but I would like to have a little more control over what the output looks like. Also, I'm not sure how well it would handle the code snippets I have in many of my articles.

Thanks,
Cory

Sounds like a good idea, I am only new to Joomla, not sure how big your article would be, and how useful it will be when the next version of Joomla come out, or is it for a historical reference

Have fun marcel

About HowToJoomla

HowToJoomla was started in September 2006 by me, Cory Webb, a long-time Mambo/Joomla user with a desire to give back to the community that has given so much to him.

HowToJoomla is not the best, most comprehensive Joomla tips site out there. That's not the goal. The goal is to share some of the knowledge and experience that I have gained through years of using the world's best content managment system. I hope that you will find this site useful and visit often. As I come across new tips and ideas, I will post them here for all to see.

I hope you enjoy using HowToJoomla and find it very useful.

Please take some time to read the Disclaimer.

Thanks for visiting!

About Me

I am a 28-year-old husband and father of a beautiful baby girl named Lucy. I have a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, an MBA from Baylor University, and over 4 years experience working with the Mambo/Joomla CMS.

On February 1, 2008, I started a web design, development, and consulting company specializing in designing and developing custom Joomla-powered websites. The new company is aptly named Cory Webb Media, LLC. The double meaning is purely unintentional, but with a last name like "Webb" it is difficult to escape the obvious puns. If you are looking for professional assistance with your website, please feel free to contact me to discuss your project.

I also run HowToJoomla, CoryWebb.com (my personal website/blog), and JoomlaForm.com (a site dedicated to promoting good design in the Joomla! community). In my spare time (if there is such a thing), I volunteer with the youth ministry at my church.
