Hi,
I am looking for a solution, to split up existing articles in multiple pages. Is there any way in ez 3.9 to split articles e.g. after a specific tag or after a fixed number of words and then navigate through the pages with a google-navigation?

Cheers
henrik

Hi Henrik, welcome to the eZ Community!

Currently there's no way to split up article content into several pages by using the XML text block. The only workable solution I know about is using a node of a container class (eg multipage_article) and then multiple child nodes of another class to represent the pages (article_page).

You can install eZ Publish 3.9 with Website Interface which support it out-of-the-box.

Thanks for your replies.

@Kristof: I already read about that. Unfortunately, this is no option for me, since all articles already have been imported as XML-Block into the ez database. And it is way too much content, to split every article up manually.

@Lukasz: What do you mean exactly with "Website interface"?

Cheers

Website interface is the name of the package (containing the front-end design etc) which is installed together with eZ Publish 3.9.
This package includes classes and templates for multi page articles. However, if it is as you say that you cannot split the content manually into several object this won't help you much I am afraid
