Multi page article

Hi all,

Any tips for setting up a multi-page article (ie one news
story spread
over several pages, box with a content list of the news
story, links,
etc.)?

With my current knowledge I would do this:

class NewsStory(models.Model):
 headline = ...
 image = ...

class NewsStoryPage(models.Model):
  story = models.Foreignkey(NewsStory, edit_inline=True)
  page_number = models.IntegerField()
  content = ....

The ordering with the integer number would probably be an
inconvience
for the editor...

But is this the way to go?

Cheers,
  >>Michael

I wouldn't be storing the pages in a separate model, but
rather using
some sort of page break marker within a 'body' field of the
NewsStory... otherwise i can imagine it will become
difficult to edit
(add an extra paragraph to the first page, then cut-n-paste
like a
waterfall through the other pages...)

You could then perhaps create a custom filter to do
something like:

{% newsarticle.body|page pagenum %}

which just outputs the page you're after based on the page
break
markers within the body text. I'm no expert either, but
there's an
idea 

Hope that helps!

I would second Michael's suggestion to use a page break
marker. I have
used that in many instances with great succcess -- your
content admins
will thank you
