In Series 3.1 Beta 2
All right, folks; I’ve made several bugfixes since Beta 1, and it’s about time to roll them out. Here’s what 3.1.0 Beta 2 brings to the table over Beta 1:
- Don’t let the UI permit posts in multiple series
- Make removing/reordering a post in a series work again
- HTML document level links
- Are now generated when enabled
- Properly escape the embedded post titles
- Have links for first/last in series
- Comment-based series additions
- Fixed a cataclysmic SQL sanity error
- Made the feature actually work
- Load translations later, to play nice with other plugins
- Texturize series names and the post layouts
- Minor clean-up
Beta 2 passes all the automated tests from the 3.0 series of plugins, so with regard to that functionality, it should be equivalent. Additionally, there are extra configuration tests for the new basic configuration feature — it’s mostly tested now, and should be working fine. As always, if you run into issues with this beta, please let me know so I can fix them. :)

Hey Jez,
I don’t think we ever actually got around to tracking down your problem; there was a server move, and SQL errors, but I never found out the specifics. I can’t say I’m very confident that 3.1 will work out for you if 3.0 didn’t. :/

Is there any way to make the plugin not display the series on the front page? i.e., if(is_home()) or the similar, don’t display the output? It always struck me as weird to have that output on the front page…

@Doug
If you are using this version (3.1 Beta 2), then yes. From the Admin menu, go to the Options tab and the Series sub-tab. Switch to “basic” mode (if you aren’t already in basic mode), and then just fill in the sentences to describe how you want the layout to be. 3.0 does not have this feature (it was too much for me to handle as part of the rewrite).
The only differentiation right now in 3.1 is is_single() and !is_single() — the home page is described by the latter. You could, however, hack up your theme to use the template tags if you really want links to not show up on the home page, but want them to show up in other multi-post views.

Hello,
Thank you for the continuous development of this amazing plugin.
I still haven’t tried this beta version, but I am craving for a series list feature. My blog template doesn’t support widgets. Can I still get a series list putting some php code on my sidebar? What would that code be?

@Paulo
Yes. Just look at the API documentation in in-series.php (you’re interested in the adv_SeriesList_* functions). Pick the sort order you want, and then change SeriesListHtml to use that sorting function in in-series-internal.php. Then you can use the SeriesList function to generate the list in your template. I technically don’t support this, but I probably should make choosing the ordering configurable so that SeriesList is more directly usable. :p

Travis:
When I attempt to update the options page, I get:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [filepath]/wp-content/plugins/in-series/in-series-config.php on line 45

Did you upgrade from a prior version?
Posted: Nov 15th, 2007 at 12:00
D’oh. I did indeed.

No worries; that’s what it’s for.
/me tweaks the question to add the foreach behavior too

This plug in is awesome. Thanks!

Glad to hear it, Psyche. Be sure to let me know if there is anything less-than-awesome that you run into, too. ;)

I have started using 3.1 Beta 2 and running the TOC widget. I have a problem with the formating though. I am pretty sure it is because of the theme I am using, but the numbering of the contents is too far left (http://www.michaelschultz.net/writing/za-idea). Is there a way to edit the in-series-widgets.php to change the alignment?

Hi Schultzy,
The HTML generated for the ToC widget is exactly the same as the HTML generated for a normal ToC; that is, changes made in the (advanced) configuration will be reflected in the widget. As such, you can use CSS — with the aid of classes and structural context — to style the output to your needs. By default (and without having to resort to advanced configuration), the ToC widget should be wrapped in a DIV block with the “series_toc” class.
