   I've installed skippy's In-Series 2.0 plugin and I've edited the index.php in our theme to use it. It's just what we need!

   QUESTION #1: I'd like to call next_in_series() and previous_in_series() from header.php and have them return only the permalink URL for the next or previous article. (I want to generate "next" and "prev" link headers.) I don't want the function to generate an HTML tag; I just want it to return a URL. Example:

   $nextlink = next_in_series(...);

   and $nextlink would contain exactly (for instance) http://myblogsite.com/some-article-23. I'm not much of a PHP hacker; how can I get that result?

   QUESTION #2: The documentation for In-Series is inconsistent. I tried to mail a bug report to skippy, but my email bounced back with an error saying that it was spam. I also don't see any recent replies from Skippy on his In-Series page http://www.skippy.net/blog/2005/05/26/plugin-in-series/. Skippy, are you still around?

   Here's the problem: his blog page lists four functions, previous_in_series(), next_in_series(), all_in_series(), and series_table_of_contents(). But the README file included with the plugin, in-series.txt also mentions the all_series() function. I guess it's a supported part of In-Series?

   I'd like to suggest that Skippy add all_series() to his blog. Or (better), he could put the whole in-series.txt file online and link to it from his blog; it's much more complete than the description in the blog.

   Thanks.

   These issues (and more) are resolved with the newer versions of In Series. I'm now maintaining this plugin over at <http://remstate.com/projects/in-series/>.

   The detailed API documentation is now inline with the code, in in-series.php (and in-series-legacy.php, but you'll probably like the new interface better). See adv_NextInseries and adv_PrevInSeries for echo-less returns. Or, just use the built-in, PHP-hacking-free layout configuration. :)
