seems that "print" link doesn't work correctly on Perl Monks User Search page.

I know I can add &displaytype=print&user=vroom to query string by hand, but "print" link must do that also.

    I just applied a patch that fixes a related bug. Now you can go to Perl Monks User Search (whose name really needs to changed, BTW), click "print", fill in the form, submit it, and get what you want (before this patch, submitting the form would revert back to normal, non-print display mode).

    I hope that helps some. 'Fixing' the "print" link would require some special-case code which I'm not sure is a route down which we want to travel (it would be a never-ending source of 'improvements' trying to get all of the various special cases addressed...).

      Isn't that the route demerphq is going with his xml stuff? Perhaps we can work out an equivalent way to get print working.

        It seems to me that there is overlap with the XML special handler stuff. Its possible we could implement something similar or possibly generalize the whole thing. I'd have to look into it more thoroughly before making a definitive statement though.
