Hi,

I'm trying out PostNuke for the first time and trying to evaluate whether it would be feasible for a site I'm working on.

I was going to use the stories to actually act as a publishing mechanism for essays and large web documents. On thing I've run into is a limit on article size (not sure if it is the browser form limit, imposed limit by PostNuke, column size in the DB, etc.). Whatever the case may be, some larger articles are getting truncated.

Is there a way to have a multi-page article or essay? I would prefer not to use multiple articles for each essay because I don't want the essays split up into multiple articles (just to keep the stories archive clean).

Any ideas? Is there a module for large document viewing?

I looked at the API to write modules and it doesn't look too complicated, but I'd rather not waste my time if there's a better solution.

Thanks, -matthew

it wouldnt be automated but perhaps you could use the htmlpages module. There does appear to be a limit on news article sizes which is a bummer, never noticed that before.

Actually I tried htmlpages also. It has the same problem. I don't have enough knowledge about PN internals to know if it's a limit somewhere in the pipeline, but I have a hunch it's a limit on the amount of data sent in a text area through the browser (doesn't appear to be in the database anyway).

I'm playing around with ezcms which allows me to get around the article size limit using multiple sections for each document.

Thanks for the response. -matthew

Hi,

I'd try the Subjects module from yagi. This allows multiple pages, and subpages, and has some good nav built in.

I've been using ver 1.5 but I think the development has recently been continued to version2.0 by Almer. The version 2.0 announcement is found here at:

else visit yagi.com.pl for original.

this subjects module and the dailey archive one by the same people is truly a beautiful piece of work. Long files, nested subcats, very nice.
