Thanks for update.

I guess we will just wait for the new version.

great plugin i use it myself. hope you update soon. ood luck!

FIX FOR ADMINISTRATION MENU LINKS

The problem lies in orgSeries.php
function series_organize_options
line 161,163,166 (might not be exact)

replace SERIES_LOC with SERIES_DIR . ‘/’

That will fix the links.
I’m trying to see what happens with the revisions and all.

I just discovered this plugin and I feel great and very useful. But I do not understand English (I am using the Google translator to write this), let alone understand PHP, so I find it very difficult to translate.
Is there any possibility that is translated into Spanish in the future? Or is there someone who has already translated?

Thank you very much.

I was looking into the bugs with Organize Series and I found a few solutions. I figure I might share them with y’all:

Updates ==============================

Line #64 – orgSeries.php

from:
$org_series_loc = get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ . $org_dir_name . ‘/’;
to:
$org_series_loc = ‘?page=’ . $org_dir_name . ‘/’;

Line #365 – orgSeries-options-new.php UPDATE FOR SCREEN SIZE 1024 x 768

from:

to:

Along with Andrei’s Revision fix (above):

Since I only created one series, and added 3 entries I can uninstall or re-allocate the entries/series and have a fresh start which, as far as my testing has show works great.

I’ve worked out some of the MySQL queries necessary to “clean-up” the problems with revisions prior to Andrei’s revision fix, if you are interested please contact me. It’s not a full clean-up script, just some mapped out queries.

Great plugin. Looking for the update.

Feature request:
I write a series that unfolds over a few days.
When 1 article publishes, 1 of 1.
When scheduled article 2 publishes, 2 of 2.

Right now,
It shows one of 4, even through 2-4 are scheduled in the future and people can click on the links to see the scheduled post.

Thanks for thinking about it.

chris w: I had the same issue. I wrote a solution for it here.

Basically, you open “series-utility.php” and change around line 250 to add three lines.

Change this:

foreach ($posts as $spost) {
if (array_key_exists('object_id', $posts)) {
$spost_id = $spost['object_id'];
} else {
$spost_id = $spost;
}

if ($skip && $spost_id == $postid) continue;
$currentpart = get_post_meta($spost_id, SERIES_PART_KEY, true);
$series_posts[$key]['id'] = $spost_id;
$series_posts[$key]['part'] = $currentpart;
$key++;
}

To this:

foreach ($posts as $spost) {
if (array_key_exists('object_id', $posts)) {
$spost_id = $spost['object_id'];
} else {
$spost_id = $spost;
}

if ($skip && $spost_id == $postid) continue;
$post = get_post($spost_id);
if ($post->post_status == "publish") {
$currentpart = get_post_meta($spost_id, SERIES_PART_KEY, true);
$series_posts[$key]['id'] = $spost_id;
$series_posts[$key]['part'] = $currentpart;
$key++;
}
}

Hopefully the HTML in this comment will format correctly!

I’ve made the adjustments noted. Links work, pages load, but when I add a new series, and the first story of it, I can’t get it to save the story as part of the series. Over and over it returns to “not part of a series.”

Any thoughts?

@Matt:
Thanks for the great comments. I believe that I am one of many who are having trouble making the edits work. It looks like this is a better program but I am about to use in-series instead since it does work.
Perhaps if someone would place a working copy online and let us try it, we could get going with this program.
On the other hand, if the current situation is a precursor of the future, I probably don’t want to get started using a program that will not be updated with WP updates.

Hey Darren,

Please don’t misunderstand. We all very much appreciate that you give this software away out of the goodness of your heart.

All I’m suggesting is that you defray some of the work away from yourself a little by getting this enthusiastic little community to beta test the “new version” for you.

I’d be more than happy to send you a ZIP file with the modified version of Organize Series in it if you’re willing to post it as “2.0.8 beta 1” (or similar) and write a little post about it when you have time.

Then, the enthusiastic folks in this community (particularly those with more than just a little PHP knowledge) could test it out for you – at least it would save you coding and testing what may well be the 2.6 compatible version.

So far, so good for me … but I haven’t put it through its paces yet.

What I can tell you is that by implementing the changes, it’s fixed the obvious issues I was having “out of the box” with the admin navigation and revisions. Those would be the 2 biggest “show stoppers” for most people, I would think.

No doubt more bugs will come out as with any good software development process … but these days, I think it’s prudent to let your community do the beta testing.

Hit me up via email and I will happily send you the ZIP for your perusal and/or posting.

All the best,

Matt

@Ray,

Last I checked, In-Series was abandonware. Has this changed?

In any case, I’ve asked Darren to consider posting the ZIP on his blog … we’ll wait and see if that fits with his vision of how to get the next version out.

I don’t think there’s any suggestion that OrgSeries will become abandonware, I just think we all get busy and Darren is going through one of those situations right now.

Hang in there, Ray. 😀

Cheers,

Matt

@Ray,

As best I can tell from the RemState website (which I presume is the site you’re referring to?), Travis has abandoned development on In-Series. If you know different, by all means post the link here, as I’d be interested to compare apples with apples.

OTOH, for those of you waiting on the 2.6.1 compatible release, you’ll be pleased to hear that I’ve sent my modified version of orgSeries code to Darren for review. Basically, I just implemented all the recommendations on the comments here and it seems to work.

I haven’t tested it thoroughly, and I think Darren is contemplating releasing it as a “beta” for the next version. Guess you’ll have to wait and see. 🙂

Cheers,

Matt

@Matt: (re: in-series)
I did not see travis’ resignation anywhere on the http://remstate.com/projects/in-series/ site or in the forums. His last support note in the forums seems to be Jul 22nd. In one forum he expressed the frustration of frequent changes in WP but I read nothing of his abandoning the project. OTOH, he stopped producing beta releases in March. Go figure…

Sooooo good to see you back!! Hope your trip worked out as well as you had hoped it would.

You certainly have more than this plugin to take care of in your life, but that is what happens when you craft a master piece – the world wants it!! That just goes to show you that no good deed goes unpunished.

Will be glued to the screen until I see your next release.

Long time to see new update 🙁

@ Matt
Hi Matt,
I also wanted to ask you for your help bysending me a copy of the working plugin for 2.6.
It would help me a lot. I am waiting to publish my next series for weeks now, and I really hope that you can help me to go go forward. 😉
Thanks a lot! My e-Mail: innsbrooklyn [at] gmail.com

I too would love a copy of the working OrgSer plugin, Matt, otherwise I’m going to be forced to abandon my project!
my mail is sproke at ordinarylife dot co dot nz (the same ending as my website)
Thanks very very much
