<p>Manually embed a series listing with the provided shortcode and widget. Override the series template with a custom template.</p>
<p>A great <a href="https://planetjon.ca/4823/making-a-blog-series-with-also-in-this-series" title="How to use Also In This Series" rel="nofollow ugc">rundown of the plugin</a> is available on the Planetjon blog.</p>
<h3>How To Use</h3>
<p>Create new Series terms from the Series manager under Posts. Add posts to series either through the quick edit screen or through the full edit screen.</p>
<p>Also In This Series can be configured to automatically insert a series listing in posts belonging to a series.</p>
<p>To do so, navigate to Also In This Series settings under the settings option.</p>
<h3>Settings</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Title heading level</strong> sets the HTML tag that will wrap the series title in series inserted automatically, with shortcodes, and with widgets.</li>
<li><strong>Title template</strong> picks from a list of title presets for displaying the title, including a presetfor no title.</li>
<li><strong>Automatically display series listing on post</strong> allows for automatic listing insertion in posts that belong to a series.</li>
<li><strong>Order of series display</strong> controls the order of posts (newest first or oldest first) in series listings.</li>
<li><strong>Window series listing display</strong> creates a window around the current post in a series listing. This is useful for large series where it is cumbersome to show the entire listing at once.</li>
<li><strong>Do not display series listing</strong> prevents the series listing from being shown. When checked, a link to the series is always shown.</li>
<li><strong>Always show series link</strong> forces a link to the series archive regardless of windowing. When unchecked, a link to the seriess will not be shown when the entire series listing is visible.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Shortcode</h3>
<p>To manually insert the series listing of a post within a series as part of the content, use the shortcode [alsointhisseries].</p>
<p>This will have no effect if the post isn’t in a series.</p>
<p>To manually insert a specific series, use the series-slug attribute with the shortcode like [alsointhisseries series-slug=”your-series-slug”].</p>
<p>The shortcode attributes are</p>
<ul>
<li>series-slug=”slug”</li>
<li>use-frame=”yes|no”</li>
<li>frame-width=”number”</li>
<li>sort-order=”asc|desc”</li>
<li>title-wrap=”h1|h2|h3|span”</li>
<li>title-template=”also-in|ordinal|none”</li>
<li>hide-series-listing=”yes|no”</li>
<li>always-link-series=”yes|no”</li>
</ul>
<h3>Widget</h3>
<p>A widget that exposes all of the above options is available.</p>
<h3>Custom Template</h3>
<p>If you’d like to use your own series listing template, there are two options available.</p>
<ul>
<li>Place a template file <code>also-in-this-series/serieslisting.php</code> in your theme.</li>
<li>Use the alsointhisseries_template filter to provide an absolute path to a template file.</li>
</ul>
