XF Multipage for XF 1.3 [Paid] [Deleted]

[Rigel Kentaurus]

Rigel Kentaurus submitted a new resource:
XF Multipage - XF Multipage

This Add-On solves the issue of reading a first post that is really, really long, and wishing it could be organized into sections, yet, somehow, doing multiple posts does not seem like the correct solution.

This Add-On adds a new BBCode, named "multipage", that will work ONLY on the first post. You may add multipage to separate the pages:

The result, in the first post, will be a Table of Contents, that enables you to navigate the different pages in the post.

Whenever you edit the post, you can add more pages, remove, re-arrange or change anything, because it is just a BBCode. The TOC will be updated for the new data.



Please note
Cache BB Code Output must be disabled for this feature to work

that enables you to navigate the different pages in the post.

Do you mean navigate different posts in different pages?

Is there a demo somewhere? I can see the screenshots but would like to see it in operation

 

[TsinJu]

Superb. I am looking for something to sort my Wiki.
Thanks a lot

 

[Stuart Wright]

Have been looking for a way to have anchors in posts. This looks like an elegant solution.

 

[Rigel Kentaurus]

This will actually create virtual pages for the first post.
This is completely separate from the forum pagination.

Yes.

Feel free to create a thread for testing it out.

Thats nice, because you can link to each individual page.
Just a suggestion.... it would be very useful if you could highlight the page you are currently on in the table of contents .

Rigel Kentaurus updated XF Multipage with a new update entry:

1.0.1 TOC highlight of selected page

Bug Fixes

• When the beginning of the post had invalid BBCode, the multipage added an empty page. Now it will just ignore the content

Enhancements

• The Table of Contents will now highlight the page that is currently being browsed
• The title of the page that is currently being seen is added at the top of the text

This is probably a PHP incompatibility, must likely you are running in 5.2 or 5.3
I'll update the add-on so it works regardless of the PHP version

I'm running PHP 5.4.27

Would this work in the Resource Manager?

Rigel Kentaurus updated XF Multipage with a new update entry:

1.0.2 Fix for PHP versions < 5.5

Bug Fixes

• The addon was using functionality present only on PHP 5.5. This has been fixed so it works on earlier versions.

I just checked the changelog, PHP did a change to the empty() function starting off PHP 5.5
I have removed the dependency to that function. The newest update should work for you in PHP 5.4

possible to extend this so that the first post collates all the multipages on the thread and displays it as a table of contents?

 

[Rigel Kentaurus]

Multipage only applies to the first post, other posts cannot have multiple pages

Yes i understand that. Just wondering if it can be extended so that becomes possible to add multipages bbcodes on any post. Would be a fantastic way of creating a table of contents. As it is right now, the main and perhaps only reason why someone would want this is if they wanted to show a really long first post in smaller chunks. Really like the idea of table of contents and if it can parse through the rest of the thread and build that, it would be awesome.

It can definitely be extended, the logic is there, just needs to be moved to the other posts.
There is some complexity in it, though. If you click on the page 3 of the first post, and then you click on page 2 of the second post, should it "remember" or "reset" that you were navigating the first post. Depending on that it can basically complicate how it tracks the page that you are currently viewing.

Right now, I don't have the intention of adding that functionality. The main purpose is pagination of the first post, and it already does that fairly decent

Mine isn't working.
When I click on the links, it just keeps displaying the first page:
