Could you be a bit more specific?
Make one of the pages a non paginated version of the content.
Thanks.
On the ‘Could you be a bit more specific?’ reply: currently there’s ‘Page 1 2 3…’ links; I’d like to have ‘Page 1 2 3… all’.
On ‘Make one of the pages a non paginated version of the content.’… I’m not sure I fully understand, but doesn’t that require me to add the entire post content after the last page-break? Or have I misunderstood?
thanks for that keesiemeijer, pretty slick.
Not knowing how to do that, yse, I would make one of the pagss a full version. Probably the last page. I would probably hard code a link to it as well with a button that said “See entire article on one page”
For example you have a (very simplified) loop like this in your theme’s single.php:
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
You would change it like this to add the “See entire article on one page” after the numbered page links:
<?php
$no_pagination = false;
global $wp_query;
if (isset($wp_query->query_vars['all'])) {
$no_pagination = $wp_query->query_vars['all'];
}
?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php
if($no_pagination) {
echo apply_filters('the_content',$post->post_content);
$page=$numpages+1;
} else {
the_content('');
}
?>
<?php
$page_links = wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number', 'echo' => '0' ));
$page_links = str_replace('</p>','<a href="'.get_permalink().'?all=1"> See entire article on one page</a></p>',$page_links);
echo $page_links;
?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
And put this in your theme’s functions:
add_filter('query_vars', 'parameter_queryvars' );
function parameter_queryvars( $qvars )
{
$qvars[] = 'all';
return $qvars;
}
UPDATE…
I have a small problem with this, as it seems to change the link behavior.
(This may just be a problem with my theme, but I don’t know.)
When viewing the post as a single page, I’d expect/prefer to have the ‘view as single page’ text unlinked – in the same way that when viewing a specific page, its number in wp_link_pages is unlinked.
The ‘Page-Links Plus: Single Page’ plugin handles this ok, but I prefer to avoid plugins where possible.
I have another issue – probably caused by me trying to be to clever with stuff I really don’t understand.
To also provide more prominent previous/next links, I use wp_link_pages twice – once to show just the previous/next links right after the preceding paragraph, and again at the foot of the post to show the pages numbers.
When viewing as a single page, a ‘previous’ link is still shown. Presumably this can be removed with some conditional statement, but I’ve no idea how. (And, this breaks when using the previously-mentioned plugin – it tries to link to a non-existent -1 page.)
