@danieljohnbarnes - no, the new additions to pagination only affect the {pagination_links} tag- the bit that outputs 1 2 3 so to speak. That said, we aren’t done thinking about the feature (we’re batting around some parameters and expanding beyond entries and comments), so feature requests on it are especially welcome.
I’m not entirely sure how I see multi-entry pagination getting the title for the next page, though. How would you envision that working in the tags? (I do think it’s a good idea, just not coming up with a vision of how it might work dynamically.)
It’s an area that I struggle with when I want to break a story into multiple pages, but I think the approach lies in taking a fresh look at the way a multi_field entry is setup.
Currently, I do this:
{multi_field="blog_body|blog_body_2|blog_body_3|blog_body_4|blog_body_5|blog_body_6|blog_body_7|blog_body_8|blog_body_9"}
{paginate}{if {total_pages} > 1}
Page {current_page} of {total_pages} pages for this article {exp:replace find='P0/'}{pagination_links}{/exp:replace}
{/if}{/paginate}
It’s messy because the author is limited to a certain number of fields, you have unused fields on the Edit page when it’s not required to split the article, and because if you use pagination for this, you can’t use it for comments, and I prefer to have paginated comments on the main article page, not a standalone one, and I don’t use DISQUS.
I’d be interested in seeing how others tackle the issue.
