Automatic multi page article with table of contents ?

Thursday 01 December 2005 8:10:57 am

Hello,

I'm sorry for this basic question but I can't find how to solve it.

How can I create a multi page article an generate automatically a table of contents of it ?

What's the way to do it ?

Here what I tried : In my "article" folder, I've created a sub-folder for my multi-page article. Each page of my article is in this folder.

In the "full" template of my "article" class, I've but this :

{* Article - Full view *}

{literal}
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){ //v3.0
  eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'");
  if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0;
}
//-->
</script>
{/literal}
<form name="form1">
  <select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
    <option selected>Sommaire</option>
    <option value={$node.url_alias|ezurl}>{$node.object.data_map.title.content|wash}</option>
  </select>
</form>

But it's only display the current page link in the list...

Thanks for your help,

Best Regards

Hello Nathan,

thanks for your answer (I'm in France so we are not writing at the same time, sorry ;)

"Are you under a deadline to get this done?"
No, I'm doing test and developpement for an adaptation of a website, it's not on a hurry.

"Is this the type of thing you're after: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/predicting_collisions.htm (though this has no TOC)?"
Yes, it's very good, it's a part of what I'd like to do, if we could display a TOC too with the title of each page it could be really fine. Congratulations for your job, it's really great. Is it only with the template of the "article-full" or is it a more complexe thing, like an extension ?

Here an example of what i'm looking for (this is an article module in a forum's software, we have a TOC and a block with "next page/ previous page").

So, when this multipage article will be ready I will test it with a lot of pleasure... Just tell me here ;)

Best Regards

This is might be useful:

You can look also on weblog_full.tpl from base design dir, and reuse code for <<previouse next>> navigation. For building TOC just use list fetch.

2 classes:

Article (Folder)
- Article (page) as sub-nodes
