Bookstack: Feature Request: Option to not add user/revision info to page PDF export

Created on 29 Apr 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: BookStackApp/BookStack

Describe the feature you'd like
User control over whether revision/user information is appended to the end of a page PDF export.

Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
When used as part of an internal workflow, the hyperlinks will point to unreachable addresses for anyone outside of the network, which serves no purpose.

Currently, when I want to share a document with a client, I must first edit the generated PDF to remove the additional information at the end of the document.

Hi @conor-byrne,
If you want to sort this immediately you can achieve this via the theme system:

  1. Create a blank themes/custom/partials/entity-export-meta.blade.php file, within your BookStack installation folder. You should find that the themes folder already exists, you'll need to create the custom and partials folders.
  2. Add the below option to your .env file:
APP_THEME=custom

Edits via the theme system is not officially supported, and could break or cause issues upon update, but I'd be generally happy to support on such occurrence.

@ssddanbrown Excellent, thanks! As an aside, are inline code sections intentionally orange in the exported PDF?

Errr, Totally, Part of an early spooky halloween update :sweat_smile:

Definitely did not mistype a color-code. _Has been patched for the next minor release_
