<!--pagebreak-->
second page here. (detaill product)
<!--pagebreak-->

<!--pagebreak-->
etc,.. etc,..

- Enable paging for the content types we want to use it on.

No chance of getting in in TP 0.9.8, but I think Bloc has plans for multi-page articles in TP 1.0

There are ways of making multi-page articles, using gets or requests ($_GET['sa'] or $_REQUEST['sa'], making sure to secure them of course so no one pulls script hacks).

Every article uses an unique id ($story['id']) and so, for example, a sub-page's link could look like this...

Code Select Expand

$link_array=array('1' => 'Main Article', '2' => 'Basic CSS', '3' => 'Advanced CSS');
echo '<div class="titlebg">';
foreach($link_array as $num => $title)
echo '<span class="maintab"><a href="' . $scripturl . '?page=' . $story['id'] . ';subpg=' . $num . '" title="'.$title.'">'.$title.'</a></span>';
echo '</div>';


To change content for each page you put something like...

Code Select Expand

if(empty($_REQUEST['subpg']) || $_REQUEST['subpg']=='1'){ /* Main Page Content Here */ }
else if($_REQUEST['subpg']=='2'){ /* Second Page Content Here */ }
else{ /* Whatever...hacking attempt or something. */ }

...being certain that requests are secured in any way necessary.
