Page break does not work in 1.7.1. when SEF is on. I thought the bug would be fixed in the upgrade. This is the only thing that prevents the me from going from 1.5.23. Have already migrated the site. But long texts must be repaginate.

I am having the same issue. Hoping for an update.

Cheers

It works with sample data.

Hello!

Something happens with this bug? I'm waiting and waiting to get it fixed so that I can finally start using Joomla 1.7.

On our site, we have long texts of 10 000 characters and page break must work.

As stated above, I can't reproduce the issue.

Strange. You see it here. Click on Sida 2, Sida 3, and so you will see that you are left on the first page. It will not work if you click Nästa at the bottom of the text:
http://www.skrivarsidan.nu/joomla/Bakom-fasaden.html

I suggest
1. make a test without the comments extension
2. make a test with one of the beez templates

infograf768: Thanks for the reply!

I have tried both your suggestions with no avail.

I can confirm there is a Problem but it is difficult to locate.

With 'Table of contents' Off (Content - Pagebreak plugin)
Put a page break in the Beginners Article
In the front end click the readmore on Beginners. The url follows from:
Using Joomla >>> Components >>> Content components >>> Article category list
using-joomla/extensions/components/content-component/article-category-list/8-beginners-title-alias
Then the link to page two is a 404

If that menu item is Unpublished then no menu item is followed by readmore and the url becomes
cat-list/19-joomla/8-beginners-title-alias

If a menu item is created single Article type to the Beginners Article then the readmore follows that url.

I have tested on a test site http://www.weblinksonline.co.uk/j164s/ . Click the readmore of Beginners then the #2

Also replicated on SVN rev 22289

Popping in to let you all know I've been looking at this and have found the source of the problem -- just need to sort out the best method to correct it. Hopefully we can have this resolved soon.

Thanks for the reply! I look forward to the solution.

I've submitted the patch to the tracker at http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla ... m_id=26226

The patch looks good to me. I tried very hard to break it but could not.

Thanks so much for the Patch!

Unfortunately, I get the following error on the entire site when I try to use it:

The patch is meant to be applied through your IDE, rather than simply replacing that file. To do this manually, you would remove any line prefaced by "-" and add those lines prefaced by "+" (and make sure the + and - are no longer in the code).

As you are unlikely to be applying patches very often here is the edited file. Unzip and use it to replace
/components/com_content/router.php

Webdongle: Thanks so much for file!

Remember that the Patch has only received 1 test and it takes at least 2 before it's fixed in the SVN. However, radiant_tech does seem to be good at what she does( ) so it should work well for you.

The only problem with using Patched files on a live site is that Patches are tested on the SVN. So they are tested in respect to other changes that have been made and in theory may not always match the stable version.

But if you come across another problem you can always replace the original file to see if the Patched file caused the secondary issue.

Hope that helps ?

Thanks, it works well with Joomla SEF! Now we just have to get it to work with SH404SEF so we can go live with the site.

I been having the same bug problem too. But this discussion comes very helpful. Thanks for sharing...

The patch has been applied and is now present in 1.7.3

Hi, just wanted to alert you that I'm having this problem on 1.7.3 in a child article of a subcategory (NSMD 2012>Feature Articles>Article 1)

http://notsomoderndrummer.com/articles- ... icles.html

Pagebreak is there but does not function. I tried it in Beez and to no avail.

@Bill Ray

Do you have readmore in the Articles ?
Do you have page breaks in the Articles ?
Is it a fresh install or an update ? (if update please list the updates performed on the site).

I don't have readmore, all I have is one pagebreak in the article.

http://notsomoderndrummer.com/articles- ... icles.html

It's Joomla 1.73 and I've been using the auto updater. I had installed at 1.6.0 and updated manually until 1.7 and have auto updated since.

Bill Ray wrote:I don't have readmore, all I have is one pagebreak in the article.
.....

Then there is no readmore to display in the blog page

Read more... This button inserts a 'Read more...' break in the Article. This shows as a red dotted line across the Article. If an Article has a 'Read more...' break, only the text before the break, called the Intro Text, will initially display, along with a 'Read more...' link. If the User clicks this link, either the entire Article or just the part after the 'Read more...' link is displayed. This depends on the setting of the 'Intro Text' parameters for the Article and in the Global Configuration. The 'Read more...' break allows you to save space on pages by just showing the Intro Text. Note that the 'Read more...' break only shows in the Featured and Category Blog layouts. If you want to insert breaks for an Article shown in an Article Layout, use the Page Break button.

http://docs.joomla.org/Help17:Content_A ... nager_Edit

I figured it out; It was an article that was in featured position, as in being displayed within the category. So I inserted a Read More break then the article opens into it's own page and everything works.

One of those "finer points" that can be missed.

My pagebreak was broken even with sef off... I tried everything mentioned on forums web-wide about this issue... Then i decided to try Auto page break, better that than nothing i thought, to my amazement not only that it automatically cut articles in pieces with set number of characters, it actually FIXED page break (manual) insertion problem. O.O
