Browsing articles by category?

    Hypothetical situation:

    Let’s say I am a site that publishes novels, one chapter at a time. Let’s also say that I am currently publishing five novels in this manner.

    I set up WordPress to do this, and I create five categories for the novels (novel1, novel2, novel3, novel4, novel5).

    IN this set-up, I want visitors to be able to click on a category and be able to read each chapter in succession. In other words, click on novel1, then click on chapter1 for that novel… and after reading the chapter1 entry, click on a “next chapter” link and take me to chapter2 for novel1.

    In other words, the “next” and “previous” links on a page would be restricted by category instead of by chronology.

    Is it possible to do this?

    Well, on single posts view you don’t use the next/prev (aka posts_nav_link tags but another couple:
    next_post and its pair previous_post.

    However, the problem is, that in this case it won’t go through the posts in the same category. There used to be a plugin/hack for navigating in the same category, but I have no idea whether it works with WP 2.x.
    Another option would be leaving out the next/prev navigation and use a plugin like “in-series”

    (I hope it works with WP 2.x)
