One of the ways that Organize Series makes it possible to easily and finely tune the various ways in which series related content is displayed on your blog is via the use of a templates combined with a token system. “Tokens” are just a way of referring to text indicators that point the plugin to what you want the token to be replaced with when it executes the code. The token format Organize Series uses is %token%. The “key” is surrounded by “%” symbols.
Here’s an example of one of the templates showing you the token system at work.
Notice the highlighted tokens in the image: ‘%series_part%’, ‘%total_posts_in_series%’, %series_title_linked%’, and %postcontent%. The plugin uses the reference keys in each token and the positioning of each token to determine where you want the various series information displayed with this particular template.

It’s out. I decided I’m happy enough with the current codebase to put a final release of Organize Series 2.0 out. Thanks to all the people who gave feedback on the Organize Series 2.0 Beta forums:
With their help I was able to address some things I might have missed. As it is, there is still the possibility that I may miss some bugs so if you come across any please post here.
With the release of Organize Series 2.0 I’ve decided to stop supporting all earlier versions (I just don’t have the time). I’ve completely rewritten the Organize Series Page and have also started a Organize Series Usage Tips series.
Oh, one more thing…OrgSeries 2.0 is all spiffed and ready for WordPress 2.5 too 
Happy Easter!

Well the long awaited sequel to the 2.3 branch of WordPress is almost out the door. Release Candidate 1 of WordPress 2.5 is now available for those brave souls who want to do some testing before the final release. WordPress 2.5 has been covered pretty well on the blogosphere so I’m not going to go into all the details here but I did want to write a post about one new feature that could cause some problems with users upgrading.
WordPress 2.5 comes with the ability for blog owners to upgrade their plugins automatically via the Plugins Page. “Automatic Upgrade” means that instead of having to download the plugin and then ftp it to your server, you can simply click the “upgrade automatically” link and WordPress will take care of everything for you. (click the picture below to see what it looks like)
It’s a great idea and definitely one that will work okay with most basic plugins but here’s the problem(s):

UPDATE: Organize Series 2.0 Final has been released. You can get it here.
Finally, I’ve reached the point where I can release a beta version of the Organize Series 2.0! It’s been a long time in the making and I’m glad to finally have reached this stage. UnfoldingNeurons.com is now running on WordPress 2.3.3 and I’ve installed OrgSeries and all seems well.
I’m still going through the code and cleaning it up, adding internal documentation, and structuring the files so it’s a bit more intuitive. I also want to get OrgSeries 2.0 ready for WordPress 2.5 before I do a final release. However, since I know so many people have been patiently waiting for me to get this version out the door I decided to release the Beta for those brave souls who want to give it a go. REMEMBER though, that this is a BETA release and I take no responsibility for any problems you may have with it. I’m hoping that releasing this BETA will also lead to some great feedback from users, helping me to improve it in time for the big release.

I just thought I’d write a little update about some of the things I’m working on for the next version of my Organize Series WordPress Plugin. As I’ve noted in my earlier post, the existing version of Organize Series will not work with WordPress 2.3 because of the way I had written the plugin to integrate with the category system of WordPress. The good thing is that if you upgrade your blog to WordPress 2.3 you can deactivate Organize Series and your existing series structure will stay intact because it’s based on WordPress categories. This means you can still blog using the series structure you’ve been accustomed to with one caveat of course - the “organize” part of Organize Series won’t be available…yet. The bad news is that although I am wanting to get Organize Series upgraded as soon as possible (because I use it myself and want the spiffyness of WordPress 2.3!) I am not able to work on the plugin full-time so - it will still be a while yet before the update is done.
