Thanks for the quick replies and version updates Laisvunas! Downloaded and installed v1.5, works perfectly it seems

Hi,

I released version 1.8 of Seeries module.

In this release:

1) fixed bug - group level assignments not being transferred to members transferred from the group not having access to Publish form to group having such access;

2) added possibility to revoke member-level assignments for single member;

3) in relevent places seeries assigned on member level are marked by letter “m” while seeries assigned on group level are marked by the letter “g”.

Hi,

I released version 1.9 of Seeries module.

In this release a bug was fixed - order of seeries not being preserved after updating assigned seeries list at member level.

I just installed a fresh copy of v1.9 on an MSM site. Not sure if that’s related though, but when I enter a status with a space—or use “not” which requires a space after, I get an error:

Statuses contain invalid characters!

One more thing, the site also has thousands of entries and every time I click the link to a Seeries it takes a really long time to load. Maybe there should be way to set a limit so that it only looks for the most recent x amount or past x number of days.

This is a bug. I fixed it in version 1.9.1, so grab it from the first post in this thread.

I will think about it when releasing a new version.

Hi,

I released version 1.9.2 of Seeries module.

In this version a bug was fixed - just created seeries not being displayed in the form allowing to assign seeries on member level.

Hi,

I released version 2.1 of Seeries module.

In this release:

1) A new option in seeries definition was added - “Clean seeries automatically”. If “yes” selected, then seeries will be automatically cleaned from entries which no longer satisfy seeries definition.

2) the code was optimized in order to process long seeries more quickly.

Doesn’t quite work.

When I try to create a group I get:

I very much like the idea though

Hi Milan,

filter_var() function was added to PHP 5.2; it seems that Your PHP version is a littele bit older.

D’oh!

Thanks!

PS I’m using Redhat Enterprise linux on Rackspace with default repositories. This equates to PHP 5.1.6.

RHEL is a very common distribution for “serious” servers and for sake of stability.. so lots of people will keep the default repositories, so won’t have PHP 5.2

Just installed 2.1 and it does seem to load long lists much better on a site I’m moving to EE. Won’t get regular use for a few weeks yet, but looks like the last fix did the trick. Thanks again.

Hi,

I released version 2.1.1 of Seeries module. In this version a bug was fixed - PHP error about undefined argument being shown in certain cases.

@Laisvunas

I originally looked at Seeries when you first announced its release and had forgotten about it.  Thanks to Devot:ee, I found you again.  This module/extension probably has been eclipsed in popularity by Structure; however, I find structure to be overkill for my needs.

There appears to be no official documentation other than the topic in the discussion forum.  I understand that you are sharing this with community as free item you probably built as a need for a site you are working on, and figured others can use it too.  So, I’m not complaining.  Your generosity is much appreciated.

I have some questions regarding the administrative side.

Population:

Adding entries to a seeries is done only through filtering based on the inclusion and/or exclusion of weblogs, categories, and statuses.

Deleting entries from a seeries is done by changing the filter to no longer include a subset.

What if I needed to create a seeries that did not follow this logic?

I am building a site where articles are broken down into pages, sections, or chapters.  This normally would be handled by a pagebreak plug in; however, I have the added necessity to link images to some or all of the pages.  I also dislike the need to place meta data within an entry.  This is layout inside of content and besides being ugly can create big headaches later.

You could argue that this organization could be handled by categories.  That would be fine if it were not for content writers and editors having to get involved in the structuring of the site’s data arrangement.  As content grows, there will inevitably be need to categorize the entries to facilitate navigation; but, I would like to use that for classification of data rather than relationship of data.

Relationships won’t work either because it would require every member entry of that relational group to have multiple many to many relationships.

Simply put; is it feasible to either add the function of selecting or removing individual member entries of a seeries, or would you be willing to assist me in modifying your package to allow for such?

You can easily remove individual entry from a seeries by submitting empty “New #” for it.

Adding new entries to the seeries is possible only by changing relevant filter.

I’m setting this up on a new site and getting a couple of errors. I had the same error a while back,but I think I changed the way I set up categories so it didn’t matter at the time.

I have v 2.1.1 installed in 1.6.9 Build:  20100430.

When I enter categories like this:

Category IDs contain invalid characters!

Also, if I assign multiple categories to an entry, the entry will appear more than once in the list.

FR: If there was a way to use a category group instead that would be great. I have this particular section assigned 2 category groups and I’m trying to omit one group.

Thanks.

Hi smartpill,

You are the best critic of my add-ons!

I will take a look on these issues next week.
