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…….
Hello-
any update on the 2.6 compatibility?
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
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?
Great plugin if it only worked in wp2.6, can wait for it to be wp2.6 compatible.
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!!!! 🙂
Is there any news about a version compatible with WP 2.6?
bye and thank for that plugin!
Hi! I’ve noticed that changing the priority you can save your modifies to settings.
Bye
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.
Hey, could you update this with 2.6? I have the same problems the others mention.
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
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.
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.
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?
Great Stuff,
i make a update of the new version, and now they don’t save the settings any more, super.
mike
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.
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. 🙂
Hi,
Not sure what the problem is – once installed clicking on reset to default should get you going.
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!
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!
