On this recipes section, I'd like to Print & Share option to each recipe. How do I go about adding "print this record" (recipe) and "share this record" (recipe) to each record? http://www.aubriericheson.com/recipes.php

Hi there!
What function do you want the print & share buttons to have? Do you want to go to a specific printer friendly page, or just bring up the browsers "Print" function?
To bring up the browsers "Print" function, you can do that with JavaScript:
<a href="javascript:window.print()">Click to Print This Page</a>
What do you want the share button to do?

I might need the option for going to a specific printer friendly page too. thanks for the print function directions!
As far as the share buttons goes - Just a simple "email this to a friend" link would work. Sorry, I should have been more specific.

Hi there,
You can use the following email link:
<a href="mailto:?subject=<?php echo thisPageUrl() ?>">Email this Page</a>
You can customize that link as much as you want, the bit of PHP in there is what will give the URL of the current page.
To make a printer friendly page, there are a couple of methods you can use. One is to create a new template with all of the non-printer-friendly bits removed.
The second is to simply use a different stylesheet for printing. Take a look at this page for details on how to do that:
