In Series Plugin – Multiple Author Support

    I have two authors on my blog at http://www.modernforager.com/blog. We have each created series using the In Series Plugin (version 3.1.0 beta 5), but we cannot access the series created by the other. So I have a series called “Book Reviews 2008” and when he writes a review, we can’t add it to the series. Is there a way to allow him to access my series and vice versa?

    I tried hacking the field in the database by adding both authors to the “owner_id” field (or “author_id”…whatever it’s called in the table that defines the Series names). That field is a bigint though, so it won’t allow me to put “,2” for that id.

    Anyone have any advice?

    Thanks!

    sadly it doesn’t look like inseries is being supported any more, and the admin user isn’t set up to be able to post to any series either

    you’ll have to hack the plugin code.

    i think the key is the can_alter_series function in the in-series-internal.php file. it takes a series id and an author id, and returns true if the user can access the series.

    i tried hacking it so it just returns true and it seems to let everyone use every series. you might try something a bit more sophisticated.

    alanft, looks like that’ll do for now. I just forced it to return TRUE and all is good in the world. Thanks for your help! I had no idea where to start with hacking that thing.

    Cheers
