I'm using Drupal to organize a "book" since it seemed to have more-or-less automatic navigation that met what I was looking for in terms of next, previous, down and up. But...

I noticed that and the end of a "chapter", the navigation dead ends. I have the following set of pages in this book:

  • Aqulla
  • Capricornus
    • More Info on Capricornus
  • Cassiopeia

From the start of the book, all three "chapters" are visible. If I select Aquila, it gives me the options of "Constellations", "up", and "Capricornus". I select Capricornus, it gives me the options of "Aquila", "up", and "More info..."; in fact, I am given that option twice. I select "More info..." and am given links to "Capricornus" and "up". Dead end, there is no "next" node.

Is there some option I haven't found to produce a link to what I think of as the next page in this book, i.e., "Cassiopeia"?

I do not think this is the default behavior. It does not happen on drupalecommerce.com.
It's true though that I can't think of any place where this is set. what is your url?

The whole site it as cms.astrofoto.org, or jump straight to the "Capricornus" book page at http://cms.astrofoto.org/node/14

Clearly the behavior I would like is not the default; what I really want to know is how I can make it behave that way---short of rewriting the book module!

What I'm aiming at is something similar to what I do on the existing site, e.g., http://www.astrofoto.org/gallery/constellations/view.html/cyg where next to the image there is a "Prev" button which shows an older picture of the same field. That link is essentially a child node in book terminology but the top links on the page take me to the previous and next contellations which are like "chapters".

Put another way, I want to book that does have a tree structure but also has a linked-list structure so you can still read it in linear order if you want. Surely there's got to be a way....
