It’s time to get out of beta and get this version onto WordPress.org/extend/plugins so more users can enjoy all the goodies. Once again, a big thanks to all the people who have helped test and fix the bugs that first got introduced way back when WordPress 2.6 was released. There’s so many of you I’ve lost track - but they are in the feed

Here’s a list of fixes/features with this new version:
New features
- Added a new argument to the “wplistseries” function - “number” which enables users to limit the number of series displayed
- Reworked the layout of Organize Series administration integration with WordPress so it “fits” with WordPress 2.7 - including showing “Series” in the Dashboard “Right Now” widget.
- Organize Series interface can be floated around and respositioned in the write/edit posts screen for WordPress 2.7
- moved the “Manage Series” menu item to the Posts submenu area for WP2.7 (previous versions stay in the same location)
Minor
- fixed an inconsistency with ’showlastupdate’
- fixed some bugs with the atom feed (was an early update…not sure if it’s still working correctly now)

Fixed a bug reported here. This was a pretty major bug affecting scheduled posts that are a part of a series, let me know if you have any problems with it!
Download Organize Series 2.0.8 development version
UPDATE (12/6/08): Just a heads up that the link above downloads from the trunk of the Organize Series subversion repository so you will get the bleeding edge version of Organize Series (currently at 2.0.8beta4). I’m not going to be responding to bugs listed here as frequently (unless I can reproduce easily…so make sure your report is as thorough as possible) because I’m ramping up to get a release ready for when WordPress 2.7 is released this week. OrgSeries 2.0.8beta4 currently WORKS with WordPress 2.7 RC1

Patience pays off - for those of you waiting for a version of Organize Series that will work with the latest version of WordPress (currently WP 2.6.2)! I just want to give a shout out to all the people who have been trying to hack up fixes in the interim instead of just waiting (and a thanks to Matthew Porter who emailed me his version of a fix - which I used a section of). One of the major hurdles keeping me from releasing even just this beta is that my “unique” “automatic-series-part-ordering” system was horribly broken by the new revision system introduced with WordPress 2.6. The fixes offered up by others worked for adding new series but if you modified an existing post that is a part of a series and reordered it in the series then things would go haywire. So, I needed time to test and fix - which I haven’t had much of. Well today, sitting at my wife’s bedside in the hospital while she sleeped (and staying up a bit later too) I managed to hack off this beta. Here’s the rough changelist:

Just thought I’d put up a quick post to let folks know I am aware of the issues/bugs with Organize Series in the newly released version of WordPress. Unfortunately they are pretty major bugs and I will not be able to push out an update to Organize Series anytime soon. I just don’t have the time. To the impatient folk: I use Organize Series pretty extensively myself on my various blogs so I understand the pain this creates. I’m forced to hold off on upgrading my own WordPress installs until I can update Organize Series so ideally I’d like to get this fix done sooner rather than later but it just isn’t going to happen.

In the last post, I talked about how you can show off the latest series in your sidebar. One of the caveats of the latest_series() function/widget is that it only shows one series. The “latest series” function is just a way of giving readers quick insight into the most recent series you’ve published to your blog and is the easiest to customize.
However, there is another more powerful function included with Organize Series that you can use to output a list of all the series you’ve written where you want that acts very similar to the “wp_list_categories()” template tag in the WordPress core. What that means is that if you’ve already got a handle on how to use “wp-list_categories” then you’ll have no problem with “wp_list_series()”. Let’s take a closer look:
The Widget
For those of you who are uncomfortable with editing your theme files and who are using a theme with widgets enabled there is a widget included with Organize Series that you can use to output the list of series in your sidebar.
