Splitting an Entry into Parts

Vote 0 Votes

Hi all!

I'm trying to make it possible to replicate WordPress's functionality, but unfortunately I cannot use Pagination Pro (http://mt-hacks.com/pagination.html) because it requires the administrative content and blog content to reside within the same domain.

Can anyone think of a way to break entries into multiple pages using Movable Type? Are there other plugins? Are there approaches you think might work? Any advice is incredibly appreciated.

  • (Looks like my html tags weren't stripped... huh!)

    Trying to replicate the <--nextpage--> functionality.

  • The 'Pagination Pro' plugin is the only solution to this!

    Can you elaborate a bit why you cannot use it?

    Also, could you provide me the URLs where you intend to use it, mentioning which one contains the installation?

    Kind Regards,

  • I could easily be wrong! I'd love to be, in fact.

    The blog is hosted at http://www.pbs.org/mediashift

    The administrative side is accessed through a completely different domain (i.e. http://www.pbs.org/mediashift-mt renders a 404) which we are intentionally trying to keep somewhat out of the public eye due to the hacks that happened a few years ago.

    From what I understand, pagination pro uses mod rewrite to ultimately render using a perl script residing on the administrative page. Since that page is on a different domain in my case, mod rewrite cannot function without returning a full blown redirect to the administrative server / URL (which is not what we want).

    I would love to route the call to the perl script without a redirect, but I don't know if that will be possible given the fact that the admin and the blog are on separate virtual hosts. Am I missing something?

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
