Lightweight, complete series management solution for WordPress.

== Description ==

Hackadelis Series is an extremely lightweight series management solution for WordPress, featuring:

* Only 18 kilobytes of code
* Requires no extra database tables
* Packed with cool features
* Automatic insertion of fancy, AJAX-style series information into posts
* Series administration

Check out the [plug-in homepage](http://hackadelic.com/solutions/wordpress/series "Hackadelic Series") for in-depth information about the plug-in.

### Change Log

#### 1.2.0a

* The auto-generated series menu is now removed from views with restricted formatting (archives, category listings, search results etc.; effectively anything except the frontpage and singular posts and pages).
* Added shortcode [recentIn series="..."].

***Note:** The shortcode makes use of MySQL syntax (precisely: the LIMIT clause), so **it cannot be used with databases other than MySQL.** (However, the MySQL manual lists the LIMIT keyword with MySQL versions as old as 3.23, so no real limits there.).*

#### 1.1.1

Fixes [a silly bug in the front-end](http://hackadelic.com/solutions/wordpress/series#comment-260 "Tom's bug"), due to which unpublished posts had appeared in the series post list. Now unpublished posts are hidden from normal users, and shown in *italic* to users with edit privilege.

The back-end, of course, always shows *every* entry in a series. I changed the formatting to match the above semantics.

#### 1.1.0

Many improvements in admin area. In particular, the potentially unsafe meta-key renaming operation has been revised.

#### 1.0.1

Bug fix for [meta key rename issue](http://hackadelic.com/solutions/wordpress/series/comment-page-1#comment-226).

#### 1.0.0

Initial public release.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the whole plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder. It will give you two plug-ins: Hackadelic Series Admin and Hackadelic Series Front-End. (The reason why these are separate plug-ins is described in [the plug-in announcement](http://hackadelic.com/hackadelic-series-plugin-arrr "Hackadelic Series Announcement").)
1. Go to the Plugins page and activate one or both of the plug-ins.

**Hackadelic Series Front-End uses [Sliding Notes](http://hackadelic.com/solutions/wordpress/sliding-notes "Hackadelic Sliding Notes") to provide an ajax-style expandable series index. It therefor *requires Sliding Notes to be installed* (otherwise you'll see the raw shortcodes only).**

== Screenshots ==

There are screenshots in [the plug-in announcement](http://hackadelic.com/hackadelic-series-plugin-arrr "Hackadelic Series Announcement"), or on the [plug-in homepage](http://hackadelic.com/solutions/wordpress/series "Hackadelic Series"). An [example series is associated with this post](http://hackadelic.com/sliding-notes-lessons-beware-of-html-tags-in-title "Hackadelic Series Sample").

Easy: Add a custom field named "series" to your posts, and set it's value to the series title. To rename a series across posts, use the series admin interface.
