I have a content type with user related fields that users can fill out, similar to a profile. I would like to split this node into a series of sub-pages/multipages and group fields together on each sub-page, rather than having all fields show as one huge node.

It's very similar to having tabs or a pager system but I don't want the actual tabs or pagers to be visible since I need to have my own links to each "tab"/multipage. I have tried to do this with Field Group module but it doesn't allow multipage groups in the node view (only in the node edit form). If I create Field Group tabs, that does split the node but then I have no way to hide the actual tab labels and (as far as I know) it is awkward trying to link to each of the individual tabs since they don't have a proper url. If it were possible to create additional local task tabs (after View, Edit) each tab would have its own url (node/#/edit, node/#/info, etc), and I could then hide, sort and rename the tabs very easily using Tab Tamer. But it's my understanding that there's no module with this sort of "add a local tab" functionality.

Is there currently a way to create multipages with D7, in the node view?

Have you tried the Book module which comes with core? It will do some bits of what you need but you can build a module to further modify it.

  • Thanks a lot for the suggestion. The problem with the Book module is that it doesn't allow you to set a default number of child pages and the kind of fields in each of those pages, it only allows you to set the default fields for the first book page. As a profile this is not practical since when a new user signs up they would need to have a profile with all the default fields and pages created for them, and not have to add the pages and fields manually themselves. At the moment I am considering using Views or Panels to create the 'menu tabs', but I'm not sure if the tab labels can be hidden.
