Hi,
and I apologize because I am not sure whether I picked the right category to launch this inquiry.

My question is, when I print out pages, the checked-off ‘done’ items that I can see on screen don’t show up on the print out. However, sometimes that information would be helpful to be able to access, for instance, when writing end-of-month reports etc.—so, is there a way to print ‘everything’ I see, not just completed items?

Thanks! Arlene

At this time we don’t offer the completed items for printing along with tasks that have not been checked off. We may offer this in the future, but for now it’s not possible.

OK, then, please just consider that my own humble suggestion for future changes—but again, I love this program and appreciate your creating it alone continuing to improve it!

Thanks Ms. Hatter! Arlene

Please excuse me if my memory is off….. but didn’t this “feature” actually work before the upgrades this past Summer?

Also, couldn’t you get these items to print simply by removing div.done from the HIDE list in the print CSS (see excerpt below)?

/—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—
HIDE
—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—/
div.done { display: none;
}

Rick, hi,
I have re-read this a couple of times…is this something one does in fiddling with the API? I am not sure I am quite up to that!!! though from your e-mail it makes sense-thank you for taking the time to mention it. Arlene

I know it’s been a while since my previous post on this thread, but I do want to verify that the solution I mentioned 11/30/07 does work. Using Firefox with the Firebug add-on, I edited the http://asset3.backpackit.com/stylesheets/print/application.css file to remove div.done from the HIDE display: none list and…. wala! the complete items appear in the printing.

I wanted this “feature” too. There’s probably tons of other ways to do this, but here’s my solution. Create a self hosted CSS file with “div.done” styled as you like it. Then add a Backpack divider to the page you wanted printable “completed list items”. Add code to reference the hosted CSS in that divider. I roughed this together here: http://www.tap2x.com/ibp2/ . Enjoy ;-)

Having option to show completed list item would be great

Oddly it seems Basecamp has the ability (and is showing it off here – http://www.basecamphq.com/print ) to print complate items. For now, my custom CSS hack has been working just fine :-) http://www.tap2x.com/ibp2/
