Got a solution. I have added this function to the template tags:

function get_the_series_id() {
$series_id = get_query_var(SERIES_QUERYVAR);
$serchk = is_term( $series_id, SERIES_QUERYVAR );

if ( !empty($serchk) ) {
$series_id = $serchk['term_id'];
}
return $series_id;
}

and now call series_description(get_the_series_id());

But it´s strange, why didn´t it worked without that?

And, really like the plugin, good work, thanks for sharing!

Ok, if I pass the id of the series by hand to series_description(theId), I get the description without an error. But why? Is there a way to get the id of the series in the template?

Hey there. I also get the error “WP_Error could not be converted to string” for the function series_description(). I am working with the newest versions of wordpress and the plugin.

print_r delivers: WP_Error Object ( [errors] => Array ( [invalid_term] => Array ( [0] => invalid term ) )

Any idea what´s the problem?

Thanks. Eric.

[...] Organize Series: la versión que funciona con la 2.7 no es la oficial, sino la de desarrollo. Te organiza tus entradas por series además de las categorías típicas. De tal forma que todas las entradas que pertenezcan a una serie se las puede hacer que automáticamente introduzcan enlaces al resto de la serie. No he conseguido hacerlo funcionar, pero supongo que en unas semanas estará. [...]

@Darren: I’m not sure what else is causing it. I disabled all my plugins and it still doesn’t work.

Have a safe Christmas, and again thank you for your efforts.

@Nathan: sorry it’s still not working for you but since I cannot reproduce your problem anymore on my end the only thing I can think of is you are using another plugin/plugins that interact with the template system of WordPress and affect the loading order of templates. Or do you use any cacheing plugin? If so, that will also affect the template loads.

Regarding your suggestion of a checkbox “forcing” a .php template load – if it was implemented it would use the same method I use currently. The plugin code is in effect already using something similar to a “checkbox” – if there is a “series.php” file in the current theme directory that fulfills the condition then it will prevent the index.php or archive.php from loading (at least that’s how it’s working on my end).

@Darren: Thank you for all the trouble you’re going to. Regrettably, following your instructions it still pulls my index.php even in the Default theme.

I’m glad my issue has helped you find some small faults and correct them, but I’m scratching my head as to why it still doesn’t work.

Is my prior suggestion of a checkbox to force a .php template viable?

@Nathan:
Okay, I just uploaded orgSeries 2.0.8b10 (enough betas already lol). There was an error with the series.php file (improperly closed php tag) and I also came across a problem with the series_description() function that may have caused the switchover to the index.php template.

I’ve tested and confirmed on my setup (WP2.7, orgSeries 2.0.8b10, default theme) that series.php is used to display a series archive page.

Test this using the default theme first before trying with your current theme.

@Darren:

No, I used the series.php file you supplied. If it worked I knew it would not display perfectly and then would have edited it, however it has always ignored the file and pulled index.php.

@Nathan:
One more thing, did you edit the series.php file to match the template layout for the default theme (i.e. the .css/html structure etc)
