Hi,

I was wondering if there are any patches availbale or any plans to integrate support for this into CCK text fields?

I came across several pieces of advice initially suggesting that its more flexible to use a CCK textfield than Drupals default Body field.
I followed this advice and now have a few hundred nodes filled with article content that I now need to introduce a pager to but this does not support CCK fields?

Any suggestions or alternatives?

Thanks

I would just like to +1 this. I have a content type with several large text fields (the equivalent of body fields) and I would love to be able to page each one! Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I would implement something like this?

Subscribing. There seem to be a number of issues for Paging that relate to CCK support, but it isn't clear what functionality has been proposed (or in some cases, implemented).

For my own case, I'd like to have a number of large text fields, and have Paging add pages for those fields that have been assigned content. Does anyone know if there is an existing solution to do this?

Has anyone made any progress with this? I am probably going to have to manually make this work in the next few days, but didn't know if anyone had already started down a particular path before I start going down my own...

This is my workaround:

Add a class to your pages using
<div class="newpage">some text here and when you get to where you want your page break end the div tag</div>

Then add some css to your print.css file. I use CSS Injector module for specific pages (be sure to clear cache)

.newpage{
     border: 1px solid #eee;     
     page-break-after: always;
     position: relative;
}

When you print a page it will break at your div tags. You will not see any evidence on your Drupal pages, which is why I add a border, which you can see on your print screen using the Print module.

Title: CCK Field usage » paginated fields (other than body)

@chayner as far as I know there has been no one else working on pagination of fields other than body. Would love to see what you come up with, perhaps we can include it here :)

Hi Guys,

I don't think this functionality is going to get into the 6.x branch if no one else is working on it. It will be built into 7.x - so after the upgrade path is complete I would recommend upgrading to D7. For now, marking this is as "won't fix" but if someone else wants to work on a patch, feel free to re-open this issue and post it here :)
