WordPress MU

Greets:

Had a end user on one of my install question the use of the nextpage tag. I'm not familiar with it. Does it work with WPMu? I see a couple mentions about it in the trac and the forums but nothing that says it actually works.

Someone care to clue me in please?

Thanks,

Two things...

1) Welcome back :)

2) This is the first time i've even heard of the nextpage tag.

lol..how ironic, I was just looking for a way to use multiple pages.

They do exist: http://www.urbangiraffe.com/2005/03/13/jumpto/ makes use of them.

Glad to see you too. :)

I think it works, no one has mentioned it on my install and I vaguely recall using it to check a user's blog.

Just what the Dr. ordered...

<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>

luna that lists pages I believe. I have someone actually using <!--nextpage--> within her posts.

I'm wondering if it's something new since I'm still on a November edition.

It's mentioned in the wp.com forums a couple of times but nothing I can really point to.

You are correct. The <!--nextpage--> tag allows you to break up a post into multiple pages. <?php wp_link_pages(); ?> is what ties them together. ;)

Oh, and it's been in WP for quite a long time. :D

It's not working for this user which is why the question has come up.

Strange then, unless the function name or something has been updated.

Then again, maybe it's a deprecated feature, at least in MU?

// Add

wp_link_pages()
link_pages()

They're still on the codex, so that is the right function.

Heck, I spoke too soon. It's still in MU, the actual function is in post-template.php. For the record, link_pages() is in deprecated.php and just calls wp_link_pages.

So I'm not sure what the deal is, unless it's modified/ignored/skipped later on down the road.

OK, I see it in that file but I'm still at a loss. The user is using it correctly as far as I can tell within the Page that they write. <!--nextpage-->

Is that usage correct?

Is it used in Pages?

Any ideas on why it wouldn't be working in this case?

thanks,

Not a clue Doc.

It is used in pages, and posts AFAIK as well.

So unless the page tag is filtered out somewhere, before link pages can process it, I'm at a loss at the moment on it.

Let me try the upgrade tomorrow and see if that helps.

I know it's suppose to work in wp.com land.

I want to say that it used to be one of the buttons in the editor even, but it hasn't been there for awhile.

Anyone got <!--nextpage--> to work with 2.0? It's not working for me even with <?php wp_link_pages(); ?>

NM, I got it work by putting it straight into the code section.

Well, 2.0 would be over at http://wordpress.org

We're running Wordpress Multiuser here and that's at 1.1. :)
