Description

This plugin allows you to assign a Serial name, using custom fields, to your Posts and Pages and then automatically displays a list of other Posts/Pages which have the same Serial name when viewing a Post or Page which belongs to the same Serial name. You can create as many Serials as you need, therefore allowing you to create multiple groupings of Posts/Pages. Designed for authors who wish to group Posts and Pages into series - independently of the usual Wordpress Category and Tag structure - its usage does not have to be limited to this. You can create as many different Serials as you wish, and assign these to any Posts and Pages that you wish to group together, to create a wide variety of "related post" or other Post/Page groupings.

Key Features

• NEW in 1.2 - New option for selecting UL or OL tags for the list, and new CSS class for the list heading.
• The Serial Posts list can be displayed using either the [serialposts] shortcode in the Write Post/Page Editor, or by using the Serial Posts template tag in your theme template files.
• The position of the Serial Posts list on your page is determined by where you insert the shortcode in your post, or where you insert the Serial Posts template tag in your template file.
• You can create as many different Serials as you wish. Limitation: Currently it is not possible to assign more than one Serial name to any one Post or Page.
• User options for including the currently viewed post in the list, with or without a link.
• Configurable Heading for the Serial Posts list.
• Valid xhtml output.
• Highly customisable CSS styling of the Heading and Serial Posts list.
• Note: Version 1.1+ requires WP/WPMU 2.8+
