PDF Contact Sheet

In "Manage My Collections", you can make a contact sheet of any collection by clicking "Contact Sheet". This will bring you to a configuration page where you can choose page size, number of columns, and orientation (and number per page for thumbnails). When you click "Preview", a small thumbnail will be made showing you the layout that your selected configuration will produce. When you click "Create" it will allow you to download the PDF contact sheet.

Setting certain fields to show based on display mode selected

For list sheet style:

$config_sheetlist_fields      = array();
$config_sheetlist_include_ref = true;

For thumbs sheet style:

$config_sheetthumb_fields      = array();
$config_sheetthumb_include_ref = true;

For single sheet style:

$config_sheetsingle_fields      = array();
$config_sheetsingle_include_ref = true;

Note: the arrays should contain only the ID of the fields you would like to use.
