Wordpress Plugin : Multipage Toolkit 2.6

I have updated my Multipage Toolkit to version 2.6 .

This is a major update, but you will be glad to hear it does not break any existing installations of the previous version.

Changes in this release include the following :-

New auto-insert option to display multipage toolkit on multipage Pages as well as Posts.

ALL pages link with custom seperator

The plugin by default now displays a ALL pages link in navigation links, this in effect allows the ability to display multipage posts on a single page - some people do not like multipage posts - so this fixes that!!

You can now add custom seperators between pages when viewing single page. Great for adding advertising code or extra things like images. This has been added by demand for the SEO types!!!

Visual Editor Integration

Multipage Toolkit is now fully integrated in to the Wordpress Visual Editor (tinymce 3.x). What does this mean? Well as long as you are using wordpress 2.5 and above, you will now see two new buttons in your editor.

1st button, inserts page breaks i.e. adds pages to your posts - creating multipage posts.

2nd button, inserts and edits page titles.

Auto Insert Options Page

No more code, let me say that again no more code. Finally you can access all the powerful options available to you with the multipage toolkit right inside your admin panel. No more messing about with your theme files.

Coders you have not been forgotten…..

For people who still want to use code in their themes and need the extra level of control afforded - nothing has changed the same function calls and options still exist.

There is the addition to simplify the manual use within themes. You can now call the settings from the options page by using the following lines in your theme.

1st instance settings  <?php TA_content_jump(1); ?>
 
2nd instance settings <?php TA_content_jump(2); ?>

You can still make custom settings via the function call. Please read my post here, which covers all the functions and options available as well as CSS styling options.

On the next page I cover the new features in detail…….

    Why aren’t the buttons showing on my Visual Editor?

    Hi!

    Thank you for the Plugin! Until now i used a little selfmade (not realy ‘production stable’) plugin…
    And: I love it to have the buttons back in the visual editor!!!
    I have some suggestions and ideas (not yet tested…) for your plugin:
    -

    1: Make the plugin work on Pages too - might sound strange but I already had projects where I used this…
    idea: change Line 293 -> if (! is_single() && ! is_page() ) return $content;

    2: add class to output instead style attribute
    e.g. p class=”multipage-left” instead of p style=”text-align:left”
    of course you had to add the corresponding css…

    3: add an id to thetwo instances (lines 299ff)
    e.g. p id=”multipage-instance1″ class=”multipage-left”
    so you can easly add css

    4: add a textfield to insert an optional text (e.g. ‘Show on single pages’) which is displayed instead the ‘All’ if we are in the all-mode

    5: provide a constant that holds the current display mode (all_pages/single_pages).
    Very useful for SEO reasons e.g. to set a robots noindex metatag to avoid the google-duplicate-content-problem

    So far…Regards!

    Unfortunately its not working on my blog, it simply ‘forget’ the settings that I adjust on the admin interface. I’ve tried to reset the setup as it was recommended but no luck. I hope I didn’t miss any important step to make it work.

  4. 4 On July 14th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Hi,

    Not sure what the problem is - once installed clicking on reset to default should get you going.

  5. 5 On July 15th, 2008, iTwins said:

    Nice plugin. Just what I needed. Thanks!

    However, there are several issues (for me):

    1) It does not work on Pages; it only works for Posts. Any workarounds?
    2) I was hoping that it shows just the Pagetitle (ie. A B C D E F G…) instead of Pagenumber + Pagetitle (ie. 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.D…)
    3) How to remove the default page numbering at the bottom of the post (i.e. Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8…)?

    …waiting for your next feature update. :)

  6. 6 On July 15th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    iTwins, thanks for the feedback. I’ll cover your points below.

    1) I am currently testing this feature, as it was suggested by someone else. I am waiting for the release of wordpress 2.6 before releasing cover any compatiblity issues.

    2) In the options page, set the option PageTitle Numbers to no numbers , this will remove the page numbering from your chosen navigation method.

    3) Your theme probably is using the function wp_link_pages in its single.php file. Remove that line from your theme files, you can do that via the builtin editor in the admin section.

    Great Stuff,

    i make a update of the new version, and now they don’t save the settings any more, super.

    mike

  8. 8 On July 15th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Mike, have you clicked on Reset to default on the options page?

    Also how are you using the plugin - manual code in side your theme or auto-inserted?

  9. 9 On July 15th, 2008, Mike said:

    Hi Tarkan

    i use the auto-inserted, and i click also to Reset the default settings, but they don’t save the settings, now i play in the old version and they work fine.

  10. 10 On July 15th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Mike,

    I have worked out what is going on. I will have it fixed in the next version.

    It is related to the logic to check the page seperator option.

  11. 11 On July 22nd, 2008, Daniel Noll said:

    I’m having the same problem. Even after resetting to defaults, the “Update Options” button action appears to save nothing. Also, the behavior of the Auto Insert Top and Bottom checkboxes is strange: if you click “Bottom”, the “Top” checkbox becomes selected.

    By the way, which version prior to 2.5 allows options to be updated?

    I’m looking forward to using this plugin, as it appears to address a big gap in WP.
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Hey, could you update this with 2.6? I have the same problems the others mention.

  13. 13 On July 27th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Hi,

    Hopefully in the next few days version 2.6 should be up. I am still testing the new code to auto-insert on to pages.

  14. 14 On August 6th, 2008, Markon said:

    Hi! I’ve noticed that changing the priority you can save your modifies to settings.

    Bye

  15. 15 On August 8th, 2008, Trek said:

    Is there any news about a version compatible with WP 2.6?
    bye and thank for that plugin!

  16. 16 On August 9th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Hi everyone,

    Another days or so and I should have the next version up. I am testing the auto insert on pages feature and making sure no other major bugs slip through!!!! :)

  17. 17 On August 15th, 2008, Quentin said:

    Great plugin if it only worked in wp2.6, can wait for it to be wp2.6 compatible.

  18. 18 On August 18th, 2008, crashkillsvince said:

    I’ve installed the plug-in into the correct directory but I get no Icons. I’m runniong 2.6. Am I doing something wrong? Is it compatible with 2.6?

  19. 19 On August 26th, 2008, Serban said:

    hello. i can confirm that on wp 2.6 with latest multipage-toolkit plugin the administration is broken (it doesn’t UPDATE the settings).
    please let us know when all works. thanks

  20. 20 On August 29th, 2008, Abbas said:

    Hello-

    any update on the 2.6 compatibility?

  21. 21 On August 30th, 2008, Bertrand said:

    Great plug-in. Very useful. Let’s hope you find a way to repair it for WP 2.6 :)

  22. 22 On September 4th, 2008, Frits said:

    Any updates yet? Could really use this plugin with 2.6.1

  23. 23 On September 6th, 2008, Darco said:

    Working great in WP 2.6 now! Thanks!

  24. 24 On September 7th, 2008, Frits said:

    It wants me to login when I click on the next page,

    installed on wp 2.6.1

  25. 25 On September 7th, 2008, Frits said:

    Example:

    http://www.casecritics.com/?p=16

    It just redirects to wp-login.

  26. 26 On September 7th, 2008, suree said:

    even if u put the allignment as center or right it is coming to left only… so please help me … i am in need of this

  27. 27 On September 10th, 2008, Frits said:

    I had this problem with the plugin on 2.6.1 but it seems to dissapeared when i updated to 2.6.2

    it now seems to work ? weird though

  28. 28 On September 12th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Suree, Can you give me an example url?

    Fritz, did you reset to default on the plugin settings page? This can sometimes cause such behaviour. Having said that I have not seen this with my plugin.

  29. 29 On September 26th, 2008, Uncornered Market said:

    Thanks again for your work on the plugin. Feedback for the next release: for better HTML standards validation, consider replacing with or creating a class in the CSS.

    There’s possibly another HTML validation problem with the span class contentlist and the nesting of p, ol/li and span tag but I can’t seem to figure it out.

    Thanks,
    Dan

  30. 30 On September 27th, 2008, Uncornered Market said:

    I noticed that the code was stripped from my previous comment. Just change the div tag align=center and use a text-align style.

    As for the other issue, the HTML validator didn’t seem to like ol, li tags within p tags. To hack around my configuration, these are the changes I made to validate (to give you an idea):
    - put a closed p tag on line 250 before the ol tag
    - remove the closed p from output1

  31. 31 On September 27th, 2008, Uncornered Market said:

    OK, the changes I propose work for multipage posts. However, they cause cascading errors in posts that are not multipage. Back to the drawing board.

  32. 32 On September 29th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Hi Dan,

    Thanks for the feedback..

    Let me be honest I never even considered validation checks… I will have to have a look at rejigging the styles.

    I am surprised your changes caused issues in non multipage posts, the plugin generally leaves that kind of content un-touched.

    Do changes you made pass validation?

    links - can i name them?

    What about having sth like

    /example-post/introduction/
    /example-post/mainpost/
    /example-post/outro/

    instead of

    /example-post/
    /example-post/1
    /example-post/2

    i.e.

    /My-Post-about-Chess/Chapter-One-Understanding-the-King/
    /My-Post-about-Chess/Chapter-Two-King-and-Pawn-Endgames/
    /My-Post-about-Chess/Chapter-Three-Rook-and-Pawn-Endgames/

    It wouldt be more search engine friendly to have detailed information in the title and the link of the specific pages.

    Is this possible?

    I was using an older version of your plugin without any problems. Then I updated you plugin to version 2.6 via auto update and updated my wordpress 2.6.1. Now, “view all” link of your plugin is broken. It is showing only the first page content, not all pages. Other pages (2., 3. etc.) are OK. How can I fix it?

  35. 35 On October 29th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Hi,

    Can you give me an example link? I never seen this before nor as anyone meantioned such as issue - I am running Multipage 2.6 and WP 2.6.2 on this site with no issues.

    I assume you clicked on reset settings button in the Multipage options page?

  36. 36 On November 8th, 2008, Carmen said:

    Hi Tarkan,

    Thanks for all your efforts. I’m trying to get Multipage Toolkit to be compatible with qTranslate (which is vital for my blog as it’s a language resource) where you essentially have two (or more) pages running simultaneously. Any ideas on how I could navigate the problem. The plugin is much appreciated though.

  37. 37 On November 11th, 2008, Dun said:

    Ok, reset button fixed the problem.

  38. 38 On November 11th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Carmen, do you have an example site I can see?
