This Plugin doesn’t do that. It’s a neat idea, and if such “click and drag” technology, and the ability for posts to relate to other posts from within the Write Post Panel existed, then this would be a neat idea for a Plugin. However, In-Series WordPress Plugin is much simpler than that.

Have you published many article series? Once you start publishing them, you have a better feel for how it works, and working with content after the fact is great, for site maps and related posts, but the concept of a series, as I see it, is to connect the dots before it’s published, not after.

In den vergangenen Tagen habe ich mal wieder etwas “unter der Haube” des Pottblogs gewerkelt:
Vor geraumer Zeit baute ich schon ein Plugin ein, was es ermöglicht, das Pottblog über “alternative Geräte” anzuschauen…

The “guide” you ask for is linked to in the comments above. I haven’t installed the newest version, so I cannot advise you on the specifics. Probably after you add a post or three, the ability to change the order should appear. Check the Plugin author’s site and links for specifics on how this works.

I downloaded and installed in-series two days ago, and my box does not say “append/Prepend” but start and “end”.

Does that mean I start category or book one with the first article, and keep going until that book is finished, and then select “end” ?

You are so familiar with in series, I just came across it, so I am at the highest level of ignorance how to make that work, how to customize (hope that’s not needed”, etc. Is there a guide that explains all features in greater detail, and for which release the particular features etc. apply?

I am frankly awed by you people and how much you contribute - but no good deed goes unpunished. Would a guide not save a lot of time? Or if it exists, can you point me towards it, or did you and I did not catch such link?

Thanks to you all —-

Ah, so I have some catching up to do with the changes in documentation! Thanks!

The ToC is at the top of posts by default. Essentially, you just need to make sure the tags (%toc %content %prev %next) are in the order you want them to show up. The div tags are there simply to break the sections apart better, and the class names allow for CSS styling, if desired (In Series does not currently make use of them). So, examples:

Table of contents, followed by the post, followed by previous/next links:

<div>%toc</div> %content <div>%prev %next</div>

The post, with a table of contents at the end and no previous/next links:

%content <div>%toc</div>

The post, with no links (except the document-level <link> tags, if enabled):

%content

And so on. More detailed information can be found in the documentation for 3.0.7.

And do you have instructions for putting the table of contents at the top of the post?

Thanks.
