Next-Page Quicktag and viewing post as a whole

Since moshu and Kaf have not taken a crack at it, I want to present a
humble solution: Corrections and comments most welcome.
I created a page template as described in “Creating posts using a custom select
query”. I changed the query to:


$pageposts = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT wposts.* FROM $wpdb->posts wposts
WHERE wposts.ID = $pid AND
wposts.post_status = 'publish' AND wposts.post_date < NOW() ORDER BY wposts.post_date DESC", OBJECT);

I defined $pid as:
$pid = $_GET['id'];

I replaced meat of the loop from
the_content(__('Read the rest of this entry ?'));

to

echo ($post->post_content);

I then created a page (page_id = 15)based on the above template and gave it a slug “fullpost”.
I changed the .htaccess so all links pointing to
/blog/index.php?page_id=15&id=[postid] become
/blog/fullpost/[postid].html

I then created a link to the whole post in the post with <!–nexttag–> as:

<a href="/blog/fullpost/12.html">See whole post one page </a>

where 12 is my paged post id. that’s it!

Hope this helps someone.

Interesting idea and probably people will find it useful.
(btw, I can’t write one single line of code – that’s Kaf’s “domain”…:)

My above solution does not work completely. since I am not
using the_content(..) all my post’s formatting is off.

Any help please?

bhaaskar, good idea. Thanks for an example of a code.
