Configuration - Usage

Configuration:

• To use it with Joomla! articles (content) de-activate the Joomla! pagebreak plugin, activate the Pagebreakmyjspace plugin and select the 'J! Content usage' into the BS MyJspace pagebreak plugin configuration
• For BS MyJspace, K2, ZOO or FLEXIcontent you need to select the specific Pagebreakmyjspace plugin option for the right component
• For 'sliders' & 'tabs' styles it's recommended to add an extra carriage return before and after each pagebreak if you encounter strange display effects
• With some other 'content' plugin, this plugin need to be configured to be the first one to act
• ZOO: please use the xtd-pagebreak2 editor button plugin instead (download above) of the Joomla! regular button
• K2: do not use K2 'introtext' (with the 'readmore' button') with this pagebreak plugin for 'index style' = tabs or sliders (such usage is possible but not supported. Future version may fully support these options). For the categories list, use the plugin ability to show the first page break only, instead of the 'introtext'
• K2: let the option "Display a table of contents on multipage" to "show", otherwise you may have some "bigger" url & other issues. Option automatically not taken into account for pagebreakmyjspace 2.3.4+ with K2
• K2: as default, system cache setting need to be set to OFF (default). Out of this you will experience the issue 'each url goes always to the actual page'. To enable the system cache, you can to disable automatically & temporally the cache for the specific content with page break using the plugin 'k2nocachepagebreak' (see above to download)
• K2: in some context the 'all page' link is not usable. In such case configure 'Display All pages link' = 'hide'
• FLEXIcontent: you need to set the component option 'Canonical tag' = 'No' to have coherent canonical link with the pagebreak
• FLEXIcontent: take care to use FLEXIcontent to display your item and not the Joomla! regular article content component (otherwise you will have error with the pagebreak usage)

Configuration (not supported but proposals):

• For usage with K2 or FLEXIcontent + sh404sef + and pagebreakmyjspace together, configure sh404sef with ‘use Joomla!: router for K2 or FLEXIcontent content or use the Option 'sh404sef - default handler' = 'yes' for pagebreakmyjspace plugin
• With AceSEF configure: Display the 'full page' link = hide and change the option 'Use first page id' to 'yes' (for pagebreamyjspace 2.0.8+)
• With sh404sef: you may have to configure - config panel (tabs General - Main) - "Always append #items per page"= "Yes"

Usages:

• To create pagebreak tags from your editor use the Joomla! (regular) Pagebreak button. To split a long Article into multiple linked pages use the pagebreak button to set the page break. This is the same usage as for the default Joomla! pagebreak plugin for Joomla! articles. With zoo, use the provided plugin to add this button
• It is recommended to add pagebreak only between paragraphs (to avoid potential strange layout effect)
• Depending on the context, it may be advisable to add an extra carriage return before & after pagebreak especially with images
• It's recommended to clear the system cache after configuration update & plugin update
