Action - print contact sheet

Info: This plug-in is part of a set of sample plug-ins that is shipped with Elvis Server. For more information, see Elvis 5 sample plug-ins.

The print contact sheet takes a selection of images from the desktop client and opens them in a printable view in your default browser. There are several views available, from one image with a lot of metadata to twelve images on a sheet with only the filename, see the screenshots below.

Note: This sample plug-in is available on Github and is supported for production use

Configuration options

There are variables available to change the metadata displayed in the various views, to make the sample display options easily configurable with some HTML and JavaScript knowledge. Modify the following code in index.html:

/**
 * Metadata fields to display
 */
var metadataSetsToDisplay = {
    onePerPage: ["filename", "description", "tags", "rating", "title", "subject", "assetCreated", "byline", "creator", "copyright"],
    twoPerPage: ["filename", "rating", "title", "assetCreated"],
    sixPerPage: ["filename", "rating"], 
    twelvePerPage: ["filename"] 
};

To change the default view from 'two per page', adjust the following

/**
 * Default hits on page
 * Possible values: 1, 2, 6 or 12
 */
var defaultHitsOnPage = 2;
