Hi folks,

This sounds like a great module.
I have read all the instructions and triple checked all settings.

No matter what, I cannot get paging to work.

If the author of this module would like, I can give them admin access to the site so they can see for themselves.

I am using:

Drupal 5.9
Paging 5.x-1.x-dev (downloaded today)

What's the next step (other than giving up on the use of this module).

Thanks to the author for bringing something out like this, just wish I could take advantage of it.

Thanks.

Just FYI, here are the steps I am following:

1)  Visit Administer » Site building » Modules (admin/build/modules) and enable Paging.

2)  Visit Administer » Site configuration » Paging (admin/settings/paging). There, check all the boxes for content types (Node Types) you wish to use Paging with (eg Story). I suggest to keep the seperator <!--pagebreak-->.

3)  Visit Administer » Site configuration » Input formats (admin/settings/filters). Click configure for the input format you want to enable the paging filter on (usually Filtered HTML). 

On the resulting page, you'll see a fieldset titled 'Filters', where you need to put a check in front of Paging. Make sure it comes after ie has a higher weight than the HTML filter (you can rearrange filters on the rearrange tab). Save the configuration. If you use different input formats and want to enable paging for those as well, you will need to repeat this step for the other input formats.


Create content (eg Story) and seperate pages with <!--pagebreak-->.

Automatic insertion does not work and neither does explicit insertion of <!--pagebreak-->.

Also, <!--paging_filter--> does make it into my variables.

Got this working FYI.
Seems like it is only supported in the default body variable and not anything created using CCK.

However, mine ends up looking like this:

1 Visit Page 1 Visit Page 1 Visit Page 1 Visit Page 1 Visit Page 1 Visit Page 1 Visit Page 1 next › last »

1) Are all the links supped to read "Visit Page X"?
2) Shouldn't they increment?

I posted a support request here as well:

I've added a patch to the issue queue at http://drupal.org/node/306008 which resolves part of your problem (Paging and CCK body fields).

As I had some problems in getting this module to work as well, I mention here, that the processing order of the input filters seems to be kept in mind.

We use HTML corrector filter on our page ... if this filter gets applied after the paging filter, the paging module cannot work correctly. The indicator

the paging module uses for hook_nodeapi is simply filtered away. (Another indicator breaks the integration with tinymce and print module ... so it is not recommendable to change it.)

You can rearrange the processing order of the filters at your site -> admin -> settings -> input formats ... choose the appropriate filter and the tab 'rearrange' will appear.

I hope this helps someone :)

Pagebreak is not working for me. When doing 'view source' for the page, I can see the pagebreak tag is there, and was not stripped, yet it does nothing.

I followed everything zoologico says.

Any ideas?

Thanking you.

Shay.

@balaftuna what is the string that you saw in the source? Is it <!--paging_filter--> or <!--pagebreak-->. If the latter, you might be using a WYSIWYG editor that's converting the less than and greater than signs into their entity equivalents.

Dear Gurpartap Singh
Thank you for your reply . It is indeed the latter. I use FCKEditor, but this happend also with TinyMCE.
Any suggestions?
All the best.
Shay.

@balaftuna Some rich text editors turn < & > into &lt; & &gt;. Try to put the page break in HTML source view of your content.

i had the same problem as balaftuna and tried the patch for cck that was mentioned above (http://drupal.org/node/306008) and it fixed it.

It's not working for me either. I do see the

in my source code (several times, actually), but the

is stripped away. I have the paging filter last in the filters list for the input format I'm using.

I can't say. The information you provided is not enough for me to help with something definite.

Assuming there are no more problems with the stated issue.

Paging still isn't working.

I turned off all other filters (D6, btw) and it simply transmits the pagebreak comment into the generated page. (No, it isn't corrupted, the exact html comment is in the html source for the page, it isn't visible on the rendered page.)

Seems it's working for you as per another issue.
