Background

In spring 2014, I was part of a team that used Trello to collect brainstorming ideas. We had a LOT of ideas to go through, so I created a simple program to number all the cards by list and position within the list so we could easily reference 3.7 during our discussions (we all had paper copies).

A bit later, I was experimenting with using Trello for my 'grocery list' for major shopping trips - and needed a few more features, so the program grew ... Specifically, I sometimes print the list out in 'inventory' mode - where all checklist items are shown. Then just before my trip I print it out in 'grocery' mode - where only the checked items are shown - but preceded by a ___ so they can be checked off in the grocery store.

Options

You can control:

• are card descriptions shown
• are card labels shown, and how
• are card members shown
• are votes shown
• are due dates shown
• are checklists shown, and how - all items, just checked items, just unchecked items
• are comments shown
• showing live links to other cards. (Original Trello howto https://trello.com/c/sSldoiVf ) In Trello - when you put #105 on a card, it becomes a link to card.105 on that board. In the print - it becomes a link that will show card 105 immediately below the contents of the current card. There is also an 'expanded' option when printing one list - that will show all these cross-references inline. t to linki to card 105, just put #105. There is a printing option as well to actually expand these cross references as 'footnotes' under the original card.

Once the printable version (HTML) is created, you can optionally choose to print any single list by itself.

Saving Printing Preferences

Whenever you click to print, the current preferences are converted to JSON and shown in a textbox.

To save them -- create a card anywhere in your trello board. It must be named: MY~PRINT~PREFERENCES

Then copy/paste the preferences-json into a comment on the card, and edit the nickname field to be something meaningful to you.

The next time you export the board's json for printing, these preference values will be picked up and used.

If you have multiple preferences saved, you will have the option to choose among them.
