 How to split articles and show its parts in a dropdown box |
 |
As you know you can split an article into different pages using <!--nextpage-->.
With this little hack you can give each page a description, show these descriptions in a dropdown box and jump to the different pages with the help of this dropdown box.
Instructions:
1. Open inc/show.news.php and find this:
 | | $page_count = sizeof($row['full']);
$row['full'] = $row['full'][($page ? ($page - 1) : 0)]; |
replace with this:
| | $page_count = sizeof($row['full']);
//Start dropdown
for($k=1; $k < $page_count + 1; $k++) {
$page_titles[] = explode('<!--nexttitle-->', $row['full'][$k]);
}
$first_page = explode('<!--firstpage-->', $row['full'][0]);
$next_titles = explode('<!--nexttitle-->', $row['full'][$page-1]);
if($page_count > 1) {
$output = str_replace('[dropdown-header]', '', $output);
$output = str_replace('[/dropdown-header]', '', $output);
$dropdown = '<select onchange="window.location=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">';
$dropdown .= '<option value="?page=1"'.($page == 1 ? 'selected' : '').'>'.$first_page[0].'</option>';
for($j=2; $j < $page_count + 1; $j++) {
$dropdown .= '<option value="?page='.$j.'"'.($j == $page ? 'selected' :
'').'>'.$page_titles[$j - 2][0].'</option>';
}
$dropdown .= '</select>';
}
else {
$dropdown = '';
$output = preg_replace('/\[dropdown-header\](.*?)\[\/dropdown-header\]/i', '', $output);
}
$output = str_replace('{pages-dropdown}', $dropdown, $output);
//End dropdown
$row['full'] = $row['full'][($page ? ($page - 1) : 0)];
//Start dropdown
$row['full'] = str_replace($first_page[0].'<!--firstpage-->{nl}', '', $row['full']);
$row['full'] = str_replace($next_titles[0].'<!--nexttitle-->{nl}', '', $row['full']);
//End dropdown
|
2. In your full story template add something like this:
| | [dropdown-header]Other parts of this article: {pages-dropdown}[/dropdown-header] |
3. In the full story of your article put something like this (Put each of the commands on a new line):
 | | Introduction<!--firstpage-->
This is the first page of the article. We call it "Introduction".
<!--nextpage-->Internet<!--nexttitle-->
This is the second page of the article. We call it "Internet".
<!--nextpage-->Computer<!--nexttitle-->
This is the third page of the article. We call it "Computer".
<!--nextpage-->Keyboard<!--nexttitle-->
This is the last page of the article. We call it "Keyboard". |
