Not sure, if there a modification is needed ...

Modify the Articles Module so that at display time the article is automatically broken into page lengths of X characters,

You can cut arcticles with a Smarty modifier like this

Code: Select all

{eval var=$entry->summary|truncate:300}
{eval var=$entry->content|truncate:300}

and a navigation menu is placed at the top and bottom of the article like this:

,,, , ,

Insert this

Code: Select all

{if $pagecount > 1}
  <p>
{if $pagenumber > 1}
{$firstpage} {$prevpage} 
{/if}
{$pagetext} {$pagenumber} {$oftext} {$pagecount}
{if $pagenumber < $pagecount}
 {$nextpage} {$lastpage}
{/if}
</p>
{/if}

at the top and bottom of your News summary template.

Did you get bids? I notice the forum topic hasn't been changed but your due date is well passed! @cyberman, I don't think that's what he wanted. You know when you go to some news websites, the article goes on for a while then you have to click to go onto the next page of the article. I'm not sure why, but 'each to his own,' as they say. For this you can't just truncate the vars as you need to preserve what you truncated. It would need to be a little more involved, hence the OP's request for paid help.

Amirite? Let us know how this went though, eh kendo451?

I did not get any bids.  For a CMS this popular there really should be a few commercial guys you can go to for mods.  Any suggestions?
