   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.

   Hi,

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

   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.

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

    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!!!!

    hello. i can confirm that on wp 2.6 with latest multipage-toolkit plugin the administration is broken (it doesn’t UPDATE the settings).

    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?

39. 39 On November 20th, 2008, Wisam said:

    Hi Tarkan and thanks for the great plug-in. After some reading, I got the plug-in to work. However, I have a small problem to report. The plug-in alignment (Center, left, right) does not work. Maybe that’s something to do with my theme. I tried to look for a place to read about css but in my page.php I managed to get the plug-in to center in the page by adding “text-align: center;” property to either #content .post {
    or #content .post .entry

    I just thought I should let you know. Thanks for the great work !

40. 40 On November 20th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Are you having this problem only on the Pages rather than multipage Posts?

    I will see if I can replicate the issue on my local test site - thanks for letting me know.

41. 41 On November 26th, 2008, Marien said:

    Whatever I try It won’t center,

    the align center thing just doesn’t work.

    Maybe it’s because I use tinymce?

    Anyway,

    How can I “hardcode” for the title and the navigation to align in the center, I don’t want the ability to have it on the left or on the right, just the center.

    Hello,
    I tried to send you an email but I’m not sure if it worked. I will post it here in the comments:

    I really like your plugin multipage toolkit, thank you very much for that. I have some suggestion for you, I hope you will appreciate it.

    I think there is some problem with SEO. The biggest one is the duplicate content, because the single pages and “view all” are more or less the same. is there any why to avoid google find duplicate content? maybe add something to prevent SE to spider the “view all” page?

    the second problem is that on every single subpage the “title” tag in the header and “post title” always remain the same. and google is not so happy with duplicate titles. it would be very useful to add someting to those tags like this “post title” - “subpage title” or “post title” - “page1″ if no subpagetitle had been defined.
    if one could put in his theme a function that print the current subpage title or subpage number it would be perfect. I think is not to hard to code and it could increase our page ranking and trafic.

    a lot of peoples uses multilanguage plugins, like te qtranslate cited above. I use poplarware language switch plugin (sorry, your mail post do not allow me to write uri), that is very similar to qtranslate.
    on that page the author explain how you can filter other plugins output to have multilanguage post. I think it would be nice if you add multilanguage support. it is very easy, just have a look to the “Filtering Output of Plugins and Themes” section.

    the last think is just some aesthetic idea. in your post “Wordpress Plugin : Multipage Toolkit 2.6″ you have
    1. what’s new
    2. instructions
    3. view all
    I think the “3.” is quite confusing, and let people think there are 3 pages. maybe it would be better to number only subpages…
    1. what’s new
    2. instructions
    view all

    I hope you appreciate my suggestion. If you will code them in the next version of your plugin I’m sure I will use it.
    See you
    Fabiano
    p.s. sorry for my english…

45. 45 On November 30th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Hi Fabiano,

    Thanks for the feedback - you have made some good suggestions. I’ll go through each one below.

    1. Search Engines and View All page, I think it maybe possible to introduce a rel=nofollow for the View All links. This should hopefully solve that issue. Of course you can always use your robots.txt file to deny access to all urls ending with /all/1 (which will be the view all page locations).

    2. Browser header titles - this is quite tuff. It has been mentioned before and the only solution I think that will work will make the plugin extremely bulky and complex.

    The issue with the pagetitles is they are stored inside the post, so the post has to be retrieved to read them. Secondly, Wordpress sends the header title to the browser outside of the loop i.e. before the post has been retrieved - so there would be no way of knowing the pagetitle of the particular page beforehand.

    The solution I have come up with would be to scan all posts retrieving the pagetitles, etc then storing them titles somewhere that the plugin can retrieve them from to display for the header title.

    I am currently happy with the performance of my plugin and this would make it very slow and increase the query count too much, so this will have to be shelved for now - unless I can find a better solution.

    3. Translators - to be honest several people have contacted me about this, I have been very lazy on this. So I promise before I release the next version I will try and fix the plugin to worker better with these translation plugins.

    4. Page numbering for View All link. I think this is personal preference. I like having the View All page numbered because it look neat and tidy. But, I do think you should be able to choose - so I will create a new setting to have page numbering on the View All links.

46. 46 On November 30th, 2008, fabiano busdraghi said:

    Hi Tarkan,
    thank you very much for your answer. I will follow the numeration as you did.

    1) to add a “nofollow” to the all page was just an idea, I’m not sure it is the best one. maybe is better nofollow the other pages? I don’t know eactly. for this reason I asked this question here, hoping some SEO guru can find the best solution. In any case it is true, maybe just using the robot file will be ok.

    2) I understand the problem! it is a shame, it would be nice to modify the title tag for each page. hope you will find a nice solution one of these days.
    in any case I think it would be useful to have the function the print the current subpage title to use it at least inside the loop. if we can not change the title of the page ( tag) we can at least change the title of the post (what is inside ), is’n it?

    3) thank you very much! I hope language switcher will be in the list!

    4) thank you for that too, it is a good idea to let the user chose the best solution.

    thank you very much for your time

    Hello Tarkan
    some others toughts about duplicate content. I think duplicate content is a serious question when using multipage posts…
    In any subpage of the post there is a duplicate of all the comments, and I’m afraid this can be a big problem with google:
    http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66359
    A possible solution could be to have comments in a different page, something like:
    http://www.mysite.com/posttitle/comments
    and in every post subpage or “view all page” have a link to the comments page and do not print alla the posts.
    What do you think about that?
    ciao
    Fabiano

48. 48 On December 7th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    I am running a new internal beta of my plugin which takes care of the duplicate content issue for view all page.

    The plugin now creates a meta header tag tell search engines to not index the view all page.

    I don’t really think the comments duplication is that much of a worry. I have read most of the info from google and most of the very popular and large websites I visit have the same comments on each page of a multipage post.

49. 49 On December 8th, 2008, fabiano busdraghi said:

    Hi Tarkan
    thank you for your time and effort. I’m still not sure if it is better to said to the spider not to index the all page, or the post subpages. Maybe you can add an option to let the user choose which one not to index.
    On the google page I posted in my last comment they say:
    “Duplicate content generally refers to substantive blocks of content within or across domains that either completely match other content or are appreciably similar.”
    and also:
    “If you have many pages that are similar, consider expanding each page or consolidating the pages into one. For instance, if you have a travel site with separate pages for two cities, but the same information on both pages, you could either merge the pages into one page about both cities or you could expand each page to contain unique content about each city.”
    Look for exemple at this page: comments are 10 times longer than the post real content. I think when google spider those 2 pages it thinks they are more or less the same.
    One possible solution is to put comments on a separate page, as I sayd in my last post. Or make google spider only the all page, in this way also the comments are present only one time. Maybe this is the best and easyest solution.
    I don’t know a lot of site that have multipage post, usually people prefear one page post. In any case I think that it worth optimize your own site, and maybe you will be more popular than the sites you cite
    ciao and thank you again
    Fabiano

50. 50 On December 8th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Fabiano,

    I am looking at providing an option to control the indexing. My only concern so far is
    a) not sure how to approach the whole indexing sub-page or all page,
    b) I don’t really want to change the fabric of how wordpress works - as standard wordpress treats sub-pages as seperate entities, without my plugin clicking on a multipage post takes you to the first page. There is no way of getting to the view all page (My plugin actually generates that otherwise it does not exist) - by me making the individual pages on a post non-index then nothing on the site will get indexed…

    The only way forward I see is to make the first & view all page indexable and maybe turn-off indexing for the remaining pages.

    I do understand where you are coming from in relation to the comments, but I think that is something which should be dealt with in the theme rather than my plugin.

    If my idea above was implemented then it would be possible to not show comments on the view all page, as only the first page and the view all page is indexed - then duplicate content is reduced greatly….

    Hi there,

    Great plugin!

    We have an issue in that we have a full post rss feed but when using pagnation it only shows the first page?

    We syndicate our feed to a number of sites and unfortunately they only get the first page of posts.

    Is this a known issue or do we need to change some settings?

    Thanks,

    Neil

52. 52 On December 11th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Hi Neil,

    My plugin does not do anything to the RSS feed.

    The only settings in wordpress for the feed are choice of summary or full - I wonder if full text setting is not multipage aware therefore only showing the first page.

    Try asking over at wordpress.org

53. 53 On December 12th, 2008, fabiano busdraghi said:

    Hi there,
    I’m still thinking to a possible way to avoid duplicate comments. a possible solution is to print the comments only in the last (or first page) of the post, something like this:

    or

    ciao

54. 54 On December 12th, 2008, fabiano busdraghi said:

    Just a little sujestion to improve the code in the previous comment. At hte and I decided to print the comments only in the first page and add a link to the comment page in any other page. This is the code:

    <a href=”">Post or read comments

    In this way comments are always print once. If in the robot file one tell to the spider not to index the all page there is no more duplicate content on the site.
    ciao fabiano

    Hi Tarkan,
    during the last weeks I had some talks with seo gurus and a lot of web forums users. what seems to be the best solution for seo and usability is to tell google to index only the all page. this can be easly achieved in this way:
    test the url to see does not contains “all”. if yes, print in the header
    META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOINDEX, FOLLOW”
    to prevent indexing of the subpages.
    In this way only the all page will be indexed by google, and there is no duplicate content.
    ciao
    f
    p.s. i can not post html code, as you can see in my previous comments. but if someone index the all page only there is no need to eliminate comments from the subpages…

    I cannot wait to see it in action on your site.

    I hope to release a new version soon - this will hopefully include new SEO options with browser titles and indexing features for search engines. I am also hoping to modify the options page to look better in wp2.7.
