Loooooong page with a looooooot of text | How to insert pagebreak? Topic is solved

[URAN]

I want to place a story on my web, and when I paste all the text at the one page, part of the page cut by page size limitation.

I need a solution - insert a pagebreak to separate whole story for several pages or increase page symbols limitation.

How to do that?

As far as I know you still can't insert page breaks. You'd have to do several sub-pages instead. But page breaks would be a great feature, and even better if it automatically could create a table of content.

I haven't tested this on CMSMS so this is only suggestion......

I think that single page size limitation is about 65000 characters. That's because page's content is stored to database cms_content_props table's content column. Column is set to TEXT data type. It might be possible to change that data type to MEDIUMTEXT or LONGTEXT. MEDIUMTEXT can store over 16 million characters.


I use phpmyadmin to modify MySql database.

kode_fi, maybe I need more detailed instructions, but I did not found any limitations at the MySQL, cms_content_props table's content...

If you can, better break the page manually.  It's better for reading usability.

automatic page breaks would have to have some sort of widow/orphan control, so that paragraphs remain together on the same page, and if there's a immediately preceeding a paragraph, it stays with that paragraph.

the 'pagebreak' in mambo is usable enough. insert the code for the breaks and it automagically creates an optional table of contents that can be displayed on each page of the article.

should have previous/next links and if possible, an optional 'show all on one page' function.
