Mark, will certainly do, I’m really excited about this project as it’s the first time I’m doing an EE site with member functionality and we’re looking to launch by the end of november… it’s gonna be a tough month 😊

Wishing you all the best with it. Can’t wait to see what you’re up to 😉

Best wishes,

Well, we finally settled on something similar to the NY Times approach: paginate in 2 parts but giving the user a “display single page” option.

I’m doing a similar thing on a project I’m working on too.  I take it a little bit further though and use jQuery to do some “virtual” pagination.  This makes my URL structure a little less complicated (category page vs. pagination page?).  It also makes my print stylesheets easier to implement.

Nice idea. Do you pull in the parts with an Ajax call or do you do something else?
And how do you account for users with Javascript disabled?

Pulling the data in via Ajax wouldn’t have the benefits I posted in my previous post.  I pull all of the markup into the article and use javascript to paginate it.

Basically, I have my client insert a tag into the entry (something like {page}).  Then, I wrote a plugin that parses the entry text and splits it up into separate divs based on the where the client entered {page}.  I then paginate those divs.

Think of it like one of those image carousels but without the animations.

On the sigle-page views then, it’s just a matter of not calling that bit of jQuery.

Nice, will definitely check out this option, thanks for sharing 😊
