still no reply though so many people use this editor. Coudn't get a reply on the fckeditor site forums as well.
Is this a forbidden question..?
cheers.

If you install and configure the right way FCKEditor, you will find a button (one with a red broken line)!

If you don't install and configure the right way, go to yoursite/admin/help/fckeditor and follow the guidelines.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I get the button now, but all it does is a put little gap between lines. I expected it to put the content after it in a new page.
Isn't this what it was supposed to do?

cheers.

> I expected it to put the content after it in a new page.

From memory, there are two drupal buttons: a page break 'pagination' button and a 'teaser' button.

The page break button simply inserts <!-- break --> into the content. The paging filter (module) then parses this and splits long pages into shorter ones, and provides a next/prev menu to navigate these 'sub pages'. At the moment the paging module is D5 only (although there is a new and IMO better pagination module for D6: http://drupal.org/project/pagination).

The teaser button is supposed to do the same thing as the core drupal D6 textarea. Instead of the teaser being created automatically by counting a certain number of words, you are supposed to be able to manually decide how much text is to be used in the teaser. If it works, all it will do is allow you to have a longer or shorter teaser than set by default in the admin section. However, I suspect that this button is also aimed at D5 users.

Anti, thank you very much for your reply.

I installed the paging module, and I see that FCKEditor is indeed putting the pagebreak tag in the text, yet all that is happening is a line break.

I use D5.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks.

Shay.

Maybe your filter is removing the break?
Are you posting with 'full html' input filter?

hi Anti. I now post in full HTML, and it's quite strange - the 'break' tag is appearing when I click "Switch to plain text editor", but after submitting the page, and clicking the browser's "view source" - it's not there. If I view the edited version (node/#/edit) - I can see that it is still there.

The 'pagebreak' tag is appearing when I do 'view source' , but all it does is insert a new line.

Many thanks for your help.

Shay.

I don't know how D5 filters work, but in D6, on the input filters page, you would reorder the filters to move the paging filter *above* filters like 'html correction' and 'line break converter'. Perhaps one of the other filters is parsing and changing the break tag before the paging filter gets a chance to do its work?

Other than that, I really don't know enough about D5 to give you much more help. Maybe a post in the relevant project pages (fck and paging), or even emailing these developers directly through the contact form, would get you further.

Good luck.
