Use separate QGIS project for printing

[GallPeters]

Hello QWC team, and thank you for this great project.

I would like to use a hidden QGIS project for printing.

The goal is that users only see a thin basemap in the QWC web map, with no direct connection to the printing project. However, when a user selects Print, I want them to access layouts and content from a separate QGZ/QGS project that is not exposed in the web map.

I tried modifying themesConfig.json, but could not get this to work.

Is this currently possible?
Or does QWC only support printing layers (data and styling) that are exposed in the main web map?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @GallPeters

Currently not, but it would be a small change to make the qwc-config-generator and qwc-map-viewer honour a custom printUrl set in the themesConfig.json. Happy to accept a PR if you want to give it a go.
