SharePoint custom Master Page Do Not Print

Issue:

When using Microsoft custom Master Pages, print preview pages dont show any content in the body of the page.

Reason:

Sharepoint use core.css file in which they write few classes where they says that this class should not be use for print/media.

Solution:-

While customizing make sure not to use those classes on top of your body area. So that it won’t hide it.

Few classes: Few of classes I am mentioning below which if you use on top of body area then print will not display content.

.ms-leftareacell, .ms-globallinks, .ms-siteaction, .ms-areaseparatorleft, .ms-rightareacell, .ms-areaseparatorright, .ms-areaseparatorcorner, .ms-titlearealeft, .ms-titlearearight, .ms-searchform, .ms-banner, .ms-buttonheightwidth, .ms-buttonheightwidth2
Hope this helps you.

Thanks!

Retrieve Web part Title in Contentquerymain.xsl

To retrieve webpart title in Contentquerymain.xsl, You can use Feed Title web part property, that if not set is equal to web part Title; to achieve this you need to add
<xsl:param name="FeedTitle" />
to your custom ContentQueryMain.xsl in the params section.
Doing this the param FeedTitle will contain the web part Title and can be used inside xsl as below code
<xsl:value-of select="$FeedTitle"/>
