Drupal for Formal Articles?

you won't be able to assign categories to your nodes if you use books, because the book module is not compatible with taxonomy.

This is completely wrong as the original thread's responses indicate. You can create vocabularies for any node type, and any node type can go into the book.

Hi jesusphreak,

If my memory serves, that is based on Blue Marine. I changed the colors some, messed with the fonts and the placement of a few of the elements. There's much more that I'd like to do.

I don't recall the exact module names for the three features you asked for, but if you scroll through the modules list you should be able to find them pretty easily. They use the same or similar names as the links--something like emailpage, quote, and printerfriendly are the module names.

Thanks for the compliment on the site.

If you need a printer-friendly site, implement printer stylesheets. They are used automatically by any browser.

Try doing a print preview on this page for example. The sidebar and header are not printed.

I believe that the blogapi allows you to post to other content types than blog.

That's a nice site. Lovely use of colour (at least for me). And, its obvious that you can paginate pages.

Please consider donating your innovations back to drupal by getting a CVS account.

I looked around at some other reverse bounty things. I thought it was a collective thing rather than one person commissioning a module.

$100 is more than I'd be willing to pay as an individual.

I need to think about this.

Prometheus6,

I've looked at the site and the source for this--cool. Are you willing to share how you did this? Is it a custom module with automatic pagination, or did you name each page using pageno=x?

<a href="/node/215?pageno=4" class="active">

Kitt,

do you realize that by releasing this under a Creative Commons license you preclude it ever being included in the drupal.org repository? Might you consider re-releasing under GPL?

I think you can replace the manually constructed links with a theme call:

$links .= ' | ' . l($x, $basepage, array(), 'pageNo=' . $next . ' ');

becomes

$links[] = l($x, $basepage, array(), 'pageNo=' . $next . ' ');

theme('links', $links); // $delimiter is '|' by default

Your use of

$x = variable_get('pagination_prev', 'previous');

is dangerous, since these variables are site-wide globals. What you need is something specific to the session (like $_SESSION) or another GET parameter. I think adding these to the URL is the best bet.

Heres a suggestion for how you could use hook_link for the pagination links instead of tacking them onto the end of the content:

/**
 * hook link.
 * Sice this gets called after nodeapi we can use nodeapi to build $links and store it statically
 */
function pagination_link($type, $node = NULL, $teaser = FALSE) { 
  // dummy variable
  $var = null;
  return pagination_nodeapi($var, 'links');
}


/**
 * nodeapi hook
 */
function pagination_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $teaser = NULL, $page = NULL) {
  static $links;
	
  // return statically stored links to pagination_link
  if ($op == 'links') {
    return $links;
  }
	
	
  switch ($op) {

  case 'view':

	  if ($page === true) {
		  
		  // explode the body on the <!--pagebreak--> tag
		  $pages = explode('<!--pagebreak-->', $node->body);
		  
		  // if more than one page, generate the links on the bottom
		  if (count($pages) > 1) {
			  
			  // process only if the user doesn't want all the pages
			  $pageNo = $_GET['pageNo'];
			  
			  $totalPages = count($pages);
			  
			  // check we're not too far or too few
			  if (!isset($pageNo) || empty($pageNo)) {
				  $pageNo = 1;
			  }
			  
			  if ($pageNo > $totalPages) {
				  $pageNo = $totalPages;
			  }
			  
			  if ($pageNo != 'ALL') {
				  
				  $basepage = $_GET['q'];
				  
				  for($i = 1; $i <= $totalPages; $i++) {
					  if ($pageNo != $i) {
						  $links[] = l($i, $basepage, array(), 'pageNo=' . $i);
					  } else {
						  $links[] = $i;
					  }
				  }
				  
				  $prev = (($pageNo - 1) < 1) ? 1 : ($pageNo - 1);
				  $next = (($pageNo + 1) > $totalPages) ? $totalPages : ($pageNo + 1);
				  
				  if ($pageNo > 1) {
					  $x = variable_get('pagination_prev', 'previous');
					  if ($x != '') {
						  $links[] = l($x, $basepage, array(), 'pageNo=' . $prev . ' ');
					  }
				  }
				  
				  if ($pageNo < $totalPages) {
					  $x = variable_get('pagination_next', 'next');
					  if ($x != '') {
						  $links[] = l($x, $basepage, array(), 'pageNo=' . $next . ' ');
					  }
				  }
				  
				  $links[] = l(variable_get('pagination_single', 'Single page'), $basepage, array(), 'pageNo=ALL' . ' ');
				  
				  $node->body = $pages[($pageNo - 1)] . '<p />';
				  
			  } // end check for ALL param
			  
		  } // end check for > 1 page to display
		  
	  } // end check if we're on a page
	  
	  break;
	  
  } // end switch
}

Does this work for all node types? Tried the module, but it doesn't seem to be working. Should I add something in the allowed html tags configuration? Thanks.

Am using 4.6.1

Well, I still can't get long articles (in this case, a story) to break as requested on my PC test site. A two and a half page story still comes out as one long piece. The only way I have been able to break up a long piece is to tediously set up child pages individually using the Book content option and copy and paste each page portion from my PC-based Word document into each child page. A not-at-all efficient approach.

What editor is this module proven to have worked with? The newest Fckeditor? TinyMCE? HTMLarea? None?

What input format is suggested? Filtered HTML? Full HTML? A customized Rich-text editing format?

If I can't resolve this pagination issue easily I will have to abandon Drupal as a not yet ready CMS for my needs.

Cheerily Yours,

Hi kitt,

The pagination module needs to be modified so that it works well with printer friendly pages, also known as the print module.

That is,

node/id should be the Single Page, so that node/id/print should display the print view of Single Page. (This will work whatever page number you are viewing, since the "printer friendly version" link always point to node/id/print.)

With the current code however, node/id refers to page 1. Thus, node/id/print always displays the print view of the first page only.

Thanks for a great job! :)

Hello Kitt,

Great work on this module!

I realise you are doing this as voluntary work, but it would be doubly great if you could find time to implement noid's latest suggestions on making this work with printer friendly pages.

Also, please, please consider applying for a CVS account on drupal and releasing this under GPL. It seems to be too good a module to be lost to drupal because of the CC license, although you probably had your reasons for doing that.

Thanks once again,
Ramdak

Any chance of getting this module as a real contrib module on CVS? Seems like it would be really useful instead of just buried in this thread :-)

The pagination module is awesome ! It adds a great level of usefulness.

My problem with the Book module is that is that the pull down feature during edit causes trouble when your got thousands or tens of thousands of book pages.

It's feasible, but my code skills aren't good enough to get it done. :-(
