Hi Everyone,
This is probably documented somewhere, but I’ve missed it. I totally get how to use getPage/getResources to break a listing of resources into multiple pages, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to break a *single* resource (ie. a long blog post) into multiple pages.
It’s really not an urgent deal, but I have a couple of posts that would probably be a little easier to follow if they were broken into multiple pages.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

It’s possible I may have asked the wrong question here too. I guess I assumed that getPage would be the tool for this job, but maybe it isn’t. So, perhaps before asking my original question, I should ask the following:
Is it *possible* to break a single resources into multiple pages using getPage?
I’m thinking of something like the "next page" tag in Word Press, which gives you something like ?id=X?page=Y in the URL. I’ve never bothered to look at the code, so I’m not sure exactly it works.
Again, totally non-urgent, just curious if it’s doable. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I see a much more general debate under the hood of all this. What’s really more user friendly, a long blog post where a user has to continue scrolling, or a long blog post with a bunch of page links? Hmm...

you can try this:
use this snippet, which breaks the content into parts delimited by '{BREAK}' and outputs an json-string.
<?php
//[[!splitContentToJson]]
$delimiter = $modx->getOption('delimiter',$scriptProperties,'{BREAK}');
$content = $modx->getOption('content',$scriptProperties,$modx->resource->getContent());
$contents = explode($delimiter,$content);
if (count($contents)>0){
foreach ($contents as $content){
$output[]['content']=$content;
}
return $modx->toJson($output);
}
then you can use this json-string in getImageList from MIGX-TV like that:
[[!getImageList? &value=`[[splitContentToJson]]`&tpl=`@CODE:[[+content]]` ]]
and its possible to use getImageList together with getPage the same way as you would do it with getResources.
[[!getPage?
&element=`getImageList`
&value=`[[!splitContentToJson]]`
&tpl=`@CODE:[[+content]]`
&limit=`1`
]]
<div class="pageNav">[[!+page.nav]]</div>
