[support] Epublish : Link to Table of Contents

[Metzler, David]

Sorry, you're correct, I did misunderstand the question.  With the
caveat that I'm unfamiliar with the E-publish node to give you exact
info, but my guess is how possible/easy hard will depend greatly on
which theme engine you're using.  

This kind of stuff I think is most easily accomplished using a
PHPTemplate based theme. 

The PHPTemplate engine makes it fairly easy to create content type
specific template sections, but you'll need to be a familiar with PHP
coding and the e-publishing api in order to accomplish this.  There's a
reasonably good primer on theming specific content types at: 

http://drupal.org/phptemplate

So I guess what I'm suggesting as a general strategy is to develop an
e-publish specific tpl file to add the variables that your interested
in. 

Of course, if you're using a different theme engine?.....

Again sorry to have so blatently misunderstood you're question. Good
luck!

Dave

Dear Dave,
 Thanks for the reply. I think you have misunderstood my question.

I know about the primary/secondary links. What I want is closely related
to e-publish module.

Using e-publish module, different editions of a publication can be
created. Within each editions, we add a group of nodes.
What I want is a link to the edition index, in each of these nodes. The
publication reader will be able to use this link to go back to the table
of contents of the current edition. Instead of adding a static link
everytime, I woule like to add this link automatically.

An example can be seen at chintha.com/epublish/1

thanks,
Paul
