No Code necessary - unless you want to! == Description == Multi-page toolkit This plugin is the ultimate companion for people who use the multi-page capabilities of wordpress. Easy to use fully integrated in to the wordpress visual editor (tinyMCE) (Wordpress 2.5 and above) and simple to use options page to create great navigation links. No coding required !!!! Using the nextpage button in the editor or the `` quicktag you can create multi-page posts, and this plugin gives you three functions that extend this functionality even more!! * Page Title button or Quicktag `` Create a title for each page in your multi-page post. * Navigation Options This function give you several pagination options choose from simply previous and next links, page title links and numbered links. Quick jump options include dropdown menu or a list menu using page numbers or page titles. New option to display all pages on a single page (ALL page link). New option to have a custom seperator between pages on the single page view, great for adding advertising code or just to make it look pretty. New option to display navigation on multipage pages as well as posts. * TA_display_pages With this function you can quickly and easily display how many pages a particular post has on your index page. Choose from 3 formats ( 1 of 2 , Page 1, 3 pages) == Installation == 1. Unzip the file archive and put the directory into your "plugins" folder (/wp-content/plugins/) 2. Activate the plugin 3. Adjust the auto insert options in the settings page (admin / settings / Multipage Toolkit) 4. If you have upgraded from a previous version I suggest reseting to default in the options page ** PLEASE NOTE ** The function call names and parameter settings have been changed since version 2.1. Please check the code you use in your theme if you have added navigation jumps directly. That is all there is to it - for useage instructions please read the FAQ. For hardcore coders and people who prefer to call functions from their themes, below I have listed all the functions that the multipage toolkit offers with all the available options. ** To use TA_display_pages ** Place this in your template file (e.g. index.php) `` Parameters (defaults shown) $firsttext = ' Page ' $lasttext = ' ' $midtext = ' of ' (only used when display_type is all) $display_type = 'all' (total , current, all) Examples Default Page 1 of 3 TA_display_pages('(',' pages)','','total'); (3 pages) TA_display_pages('(you are on page ',' now)','','current'); (you are on page 1 now) ** To use TA_content_jump ** Place this in your template file used to display posts (normally single.php) in the location where you want it to appear. You can call the parameters set from the options page. To display the options from the 1st instance settings use :- `` To display the options from the 2nd instance settings use :- `` The above method is the prefered method of manual insertion, but you can still set the parameters directly in the function call if you prefer, they are set out below. Be careful the function call name is different. TA_content_jump($before = '

Click on Next Page to insert page breaks (nextpage). Click on the page title button and in the popup - type in the required page title and click insert. Icon will appear in the main editor window to show that the page title has been inserted. If you hover your mouse over the icon the page title will appear. To edit the page title, select the page title icon in the main editor window and then click on page title button. If you are not using the visual editor or are switched to CODE view type in the following tag to create page breaks `` within each page add (including the starting page) to create page title `` = Visual Editor does not show the new buttons = The buttons will only work in Wordpress 2.5 and above only. Please upgrade Wordpress. = What is first and second instance on the options page mean? = The different instances gives you the flexibilty to have two different navigation methods in your posts. This gives you the freedom to have a quick jump using page numbers and another drop down menu navigation method. Each instance of multipage toolkit can be inserted in to the top , bottom or top and bottom of your post, or you can choose to have the first instance displayed at the top of your post and the second instance at the bottom. You are totally free to choose!!! = Display ALL link, what is that? = Some people on the web do not like multipage posts and they prefer to read posts as one long page. By selecting this option Multipage toolkit inserts a ALL pages link in to your quick jump or navigation links. On your quick jump you will see something like (Page: 1 2 3 4 ALL). = Adjust Insert Priority, what is that? = The problem with auto inserting things in to your posts is that you cannot control where they appear in relation to other items that are inserted. By changing the priority you can change where the navigation links appear in relation to other plugins. e.g. If you use a plugin to generate related posts, ideally you want your navigation links to appear before the related posts listing - so by changing the priority value you can have the multipage toolkit appear before your related posts. = Is there anywhere I can see multipage toolkit in action? = Yes of course, my website is one place (http://www.tarkan.info). I have also setup an example page to showcase the different options :- http://www.tarkan.info/archives/multipage/ == Screenshots == 1.
