[Add On] - PageBreak V 2.0 Automatic PageBreaks!
|
Can't Post
|
|
In this script we updated two notable things to make things easier as a webmaster of your respective site.
1) No longer must you manually enter pagebreaks. With this updated script the you simply set how many max characters you want on a page, and the min number of characters you require for page two. This is so you won't have a 2nd page with only 1 line on it. Also, we've biult in a function to where after a max number of characters are met for a page, it won't break until the nearest line break (ie. <BR><BR> or <p> ect). This is ultimately so you won't have a break in mid sentence.
2) The next change to script is to incorporate it into a search engine friendly script. Since search engines do not scan variables in scripts, under the previous version it never indexed the articles themselves. By adding a few lines, we've enabled search engine friendly outputs. By doing this, we've also enabled browsers with Javascript turned off, to still display your articles. We've tested this script successfully with Netscape, Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox, and Konqueror.
Any bugs found reply to this message in the forum instead of emailing.
Enjoy!

********* UPDATED *********
V 2.1 - counter fixed. Sometimes in IE 6.0 + the counter was confused when there were enough characters to make a last page, but not enough to make a full normal last page.
v 2.2 - link to blank page fixed. Some ending characters caused a blank page printout for page 2 or above.

Michael

1. It apparently has an issue with pictures. I have several pictures on on one page, and the all appeared on the first page even though the text ended.
2. It is splitting the first page at the "var charlastpage" limit on the first page (also might have to do with the pictures again). The second page had the "var charperpage" limit, but my third page had nothing, even thought it was supposed to have at least the var charlastpage amount.

It might be because I have several pictures in a table that is right aligned.

The problem I'm having is that if I put a table on the page, and the table happens to fall in where the page breaks, the table stays on the first page and the text goes to the next page.
I'll see if I can get an example up on my beta-testing site.

Hi Mike4172,
Thanks for the add-on!
I downloaded pagebreak.js and tried it out to see how it works. It worked really well and didn't involve too much time to install/set-up.
Good work Mike!

Quick Question...
I notice in the code block there is this variable:
var PageMarker = '<!--page--\>';
Is itpossible to use this within the article tomanually override the Automatic page break settings?
If not is there a way to implement it?

Hi Aidden,
Thanks for the post!
I don't think that adding the javascript into the body of the article would provide the effect you're looking for. Although this is a free add-on and I'm not incredibly familiar with it I'm assuming that because it is designed to create automatic page breaks there wouldn't be an easy way to insert your own page breaks manually.
As this is a free add-on you can go ahead and experiment with it to see if you can come up with anything that might help you.
Let us know how it works out and if you have any other questions feel free to let me know!

Hi Aidden,
When I redid the script it was intended just to be automatic since the site I worked on at the time posted so many articles we didn't have time to manually input a page break.
You realize you can customize it where the pagebreaks come at certain spots right?
Manually, we left in the PageMarker = '<!--page--/>' even though I don't think functions any longer. In the future we may add an override manual breaker in there.
Regards,
Michael

Could someone please post a link to an article that is actually long enough to utilize the pagebreak?
Thanks,

That's becasue in its design it basically just splits the $art_content$ variable w/o taking anything else into consideration. So on all ensuing pages it'll repeate the template with the exception of $art_content$. What you would need to do if you didn't want to repeat the title or summary on pages after page one is to add in some JS or a PHP script (depending on page ext's) that has an IF statement to prepend it from repeating itself more than once.

Hi Mike,
This is another one of your scripts I would be interested in using... have one question:
What happens with the print this article option if an article is too long and gets split into 5 pages by the script?... Does AM still create 1 single page for printing, or must each of the 5 sections the article gets cut into be printed separately, one-by-one!?
On your article/site it still comes up as one single page, so my question really is if you had to do something else to keep it that way, or if the script just leaves it alone as far as the printing function is concerned.
Thanks!
Joa1
