Hi, Andreas:
Yes, the Page-Links Plus auto pagination module helps automate page breaks without splitting sentences or words or creating widows, orphans, or trailing headers.
The current version allows users to split by number of paragraphs, but we’ll soon be releasing a new version that allows users to split by paragraphs, number of words, and total number of pages (ie., “I want this post to = x number of total pages).
Thanks for your interest in PLP.
PS, you can demo the plugin here, if you like:
http://demo.pagelinksplus.com/wp-login.php
Thank you for your answer. It’s difficult for me, to check this on the demo-account, because I need to use the database-connection.
Nevertheless, I tried to make a long post manually, and it was automatically splitted, when I used <p>-tags. But not, if I use <div>-tags. Which tags are supported, can you tell me more about this? Thank you!
Hi, Andreas:
I’m not entirely sure I understand your issue or your question, but if you install the PLP auto pagination module in a WP environment and structure your content according to best-practices HTML tagging, it will automatically paginate content for you.
Yes, but I want to split the text on special points. I have many, many <div>-Container and want to split the content BETWEEN the div’s. Is this possible?
Hi, Andreas:
Probably the best thing to do would be to test a sample of your markup on the demo site.
Whether it works or doesn’t work, can you post a sample of it here? I’d like to see what you’re trying to accomplish and the structure of your copy/markup.
Thanks!
The php/database-connection-code see above. This will generate following text-boxes:
<div>
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.mydomain.de"><img src="http://www.mydomain.de/image.jpg"></a>
<p><strong>text</strong></p>
<p>text text text</p>
<p>text text text text text text text</p><p><a href="http://www.mydomain.de"">text text text</a></p>
</div>
So I want to split between those div’s.
Hi, Andreas:
PLP will split based on the paragraphs, not the <div>’s. As such, if you had the sort of code you outline above, PLP will insert a page break after x number of paragraphs (x being the variable you provide).
Please note that, to prevent splitting sentences or words or creating widows, orphans, or trailing headers, PLP won’t accept values lower than “3.” There’s no upper limit, though.
Again, the best way to test your particular code blocks would be to use the demo site. You can test different scenarios on pages, posts, and custom post types.
Thanks!
Thank you again. I would like to test on the demo account, but without database I can’t proof it 🙁
It’s late, may be till tomorrow 😉
Hello again!
I made a page on your demo-account and connected then to mysql-database on my webhoster (Code works in wordpress). This is the code:
<? $Verbindung = mysql_connect("XXXX", "XXXX", "XXXX");
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
mysql_query("SET lc_time_names = 'de_DE'");
$SQLString = "SELECT * FROM testtabelle";
$Ergebnis = mysql_db_query("XXXX", $SQLString,$Verbindung);
$Datensatz = mysql_fetch_array($Ergebnis);
if(mysql_num_rows($Ergebnis)>0) {
while ($Datensatz) {
echo "<p><strong>".$Datensatz['column1']."</strong><br>".$Datensatz['column2']."</p>";
$Datensatz = mysql_fetch_array($Ergebnis);
}
}
else {
echo "no matches";
}
?>
Unfortunately the php-Code wasn’t parsed 🙁
Is this not allowed in demo-modus?
Hi, Andreas:
Are you pasting PHP into the page/post editor?
If so, no, the demo won’t accommodate this, but neither will any WP instance without some customization. (The demo is intentionally built to be as “vanilla” as possible.)
If you were to build the above into a theme template, PLP would probably still auto paginate the content. However, I’ve no idea how the other features would work. PLP is essentially a glorified hook for the wp_link_pages function (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_link_pages), and I’ve only tested it narrowly outside the context of this function.
Is there a reason you’re injecting content using the above vs. using the WP loop? Just out of curiosity, what’s your thinking re: this approach?
Hello, thanks for your answer. Yes, I pasted in the Editor in text-modus (is there another way for text-input?)
I’m only unsure, if your plugin works with my code, because I tested a free plugin, which had similar features (auto-pagination), and this plugin didn’t work!
So if your plugin works the same way, there will be no results too. That’s my problem.
Your last sentence I didn’t understand unfortunately. My code is actually very normally for connecting to a database. Or what did you mean exactly (my english is very bad, sorry)?
Hi, Andreas:
This is a very specialized, unique instance, and I just don’t understand enough about what you’re trying to do to make sense of it.
My sense is PLP would auto paginate your content, but if your theme doesn’t include the wp_link_pages function, other features probably won’t work.
Best of luck going forward.
The wp_link_pages function works, I checked it out with <!–nextpage –>.
Whatever, I think the only way to find it out, is to buy the plugin. What do I have to do, is there a download after payment available? How do I have to pay?
