: PDF/Print/E-mail icons in custom component in Joomla I'm trying to add PDF/Print/E-mail icon to my component. The problem is I don't know how.. I search google, found nice articles and discussions,

@Lengel546

So, I solved this problem.

It might not be the best solution but for a fast solution it works fine.

PDF - generate the link in view - tmpl - default.php make link <a href="">PDF</a>
index.php?option="smth"&view="smth"..... and at the end add &format=pdf
in your view folder copy view.html.php and rename it to view.pdf.php - and your set to go!

Print - the very same thing as PDF at the end of link put &format=print and create view.print.php

Email - you can directly address the com_mailto component - here's the link example

index.php?option=com_mailto&tmpl=component&link="your page link you want to be sent"


So this is your fastest solution of the problem.
