I keep getting the following error message that completely stops be
interacting with the page. This happens on both Firefox and IE

"A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding.
You can stop the script now or you can continue to see if the script
will complete.

Script http://stujohnson.digress.it/wp-content/plugins/digressit/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js?ver=2.8.1:19"

Please help because it looks like this is going to be really useful.

Thanks!

Stuart

Your page is very long. If you split it into sections, I think it will work. Any web page with 376 paragraphs is going to be unresponsive.

I would make each section a post so that you end up with 19 posts/sections.

Kareninna then!

Hi Joss

I've broken it up into 19 posts for the 19 chapters but the table of
contents only displays chapters 1-10. Any ideas?

Yes, you can change that in the digress.it options. Just go to the
Appearance menu and you'll see it.

What's the simplest way to deal with two levels?

I.e., 19 chapters is one book, but there are five books.

Thanks,

Roger

Each book would be a new digress.it site.

Simple as that :-)

It's not normal to think of a WordPress site as a single document but digress.it reconceptualises WordPress as a social document platform rather than a blogging platform.

I'm thinking more along the lines of an encyclopedia, which is conceptually a single work, but of course each volume in it is as large and complex as a single book.

I guess vol1.example.com, vol2.example.com, etc. could be used so that all the volumes were part of the same domain ... but this would still need five separate installs of WordPress/digress.it, right? (And a central TOC, too, of course.)

Is there a way that digress.it could be modified to work with tags or categories to handle this sort of subgrouping?  So that clicking on "First volume (vol1)" in the main TOC calls up a vol1 TOC page which contains links only to pages (chapters) that are part of vol1.

(I suppose in such a case that out-of-the-box digress.it would show all 100 chapters of the five volumes in the single encyclopedia, but then that would seem to be subject to the same too-big-to-be-useful problem that initiated this thread. But I mention it to flesh out the conception, so what I mean is clearer.)

Would this be worth exploring or likely to be [unsatisfactory | too hard | too buggy]? Of course, as any developer might expect, even though this might be considered an edge case, I as an early adopter would find it useful and want it for my content.

Thx

Roger

You might consider running your site(s) under WordPress MultiUser
(http://mu.wordpress.org/) where you can run many instances of
"blogs" (or digress,it instances) from one code base. We've been doing
that for the previous version (CommentPress) at http://wp.nmc.org/ for
publishing our papers online.

With not too much work, you could create the front entry of such a
site to organize the encyclopedia into meaningful display.

I'd second this. If you're thinking of more than one document WPMU is the way to go. It's what's used on http://digress.it but having your own install would allow you to develop the meta-Table-of-Content that I think you're asking for.
