As per the description for that feature:
A “short” title of the post that will be used in the series widget. [Leave blank to use a full title]
When you say “table of contents” are you talking about the series widget?
the default post_meta key for series part is _series_part
The number of series in a post is not saved in post_meta but is a calculated number from the wp_term table (because “series” is a custom taxonomy)
WordPress has abstracted its database layer enough that I’m able to host using PostgreSQL on Heroku.
I highly doubt you were able to install and use WordPress on postgresql without any modifications/extensions to WordPress to do so. Why would you expect any WordPress plugin (which is built to work with what WordPress officially supports) to work without modification?
As I’ve learned, lower ratings are merely an indication of not hitting the target audience.
Generally yes, but sir, postgresql users are NOT the target audience of Event Espresso. WordPress users AND specifically the average WordPress user who is NOT jumping through hoops to get WordPress to work with databases it doesn’t officially support. So to those developing Event Espresso, your one star rating doesn’t actually accomplish your intended purpose.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion and your choice of where you voice it, but the point that’s being made in this thread is that your opinion may gain a more receptive audience (and be more helpful) elsewhere.
This is not something that is possible right now and is not easy to do because Organize Series uses the WordPress custom taxonomy system in WordPress and there is no built-in way for custom taxonomies to save extra meta information (such as when it was create, series authors etc.)
It is possible but not something on my radar to do right now. Of course I’m always open to discussing having someone sponsor this feature (I’d likely do it as an addon)

In reply to: [Issues and Series for Newspapers, Magazines, Publishers, Writers] CSS BrokenHi Dave,
Since you have the basic support license I’d appreciate all your support questions go on the private support forums. I monitor that forum MUCH more frequently than WordPress.org and priority goes to that forums (notice the time between your initial post here and my initial response 😉 )
For purpose of any reading this thread however… the absolutely EASIEST way to do what you ask is via the use of the Organize Series Shortcodes addon. With that, you can just add a shortcode to any post/page to output a variety of different series information (including a shortcode for a list of all series).

In reply to: [Issues and Series for Newspapers, Magazines, Publishers, Writers] CSS Brokenglad to hear its working for you!
Glad to hear it works well for you 🙂
We’ll take that feature request into consideration. In the meantime you can just change the post status for the posts to one status type (to keep consistent)… however, I agree that isn’t the best solution.
Okay, the file that was in our download archive was the wrong one (as you pointed out). I did a minor version bump so users on our automatic updates would get the correct one but it is now version .8
Again, sorry about that and thanks for letting me know! I’m surprised too that it wasn’t pointed out earlier to me 🙂
So sorry for the mixups, I’m looking into it now.

In reply to: [Issues and Series for Newspapers, Magazines, Publishers, Writers] CSS BrokenOkay David,
I checked out your site, you have a problem with your style.css sheet.
Here’s what I did (leaving organize series 2.4.4 running)
1. I deactivated the “Use custom .css” option. And that resulted in the series styles missing (as expected).
2. Then (using Google Chrome inspector) I copied and pasted the contents of orgseries.css (which includes your modifications) to the bottom of the style.css sheet. This resulted in NO changes, which it SHOULD have.
3. Then I removed what I had copied and pasted and repasted it somewhere further up in the style sheet (I think right before some form css). Voila! styles appear.
What this indicates is that somewhere in your style.css sheet you have a invalid css rule and any styles after that rule are NOT working. I also noticed other errors in your source so there are a number of things that could be interfering with proper page loading.
Anyways, that will point you in the right direction. Since you are making customizations to the default .css, I strongly suggest you deactivate the “use custom .css” option and add your style directly to your theme style.css sheet and that way when you update Organize Series you won’t lose your customizations.

In reply to: [Issues and Series for Newspapers, Magazines, Publishers, Writers] CSS BrokenHi David,
I just realized you are a paid basic support user for Organize Series. If you can just copy the basic subject of this thread into the private support forums at organizeseries.com/forums we can continue troubleshooting there.
Once you’ve done that, feel free to use the contact form on Organize Series to send me admin/login information to your website and I’ll take a look at it (just ignore the autoresponder when you submit the information).

In reply to: [Issues and Series for Newspapers, Magazines, Publishers, Writers] CSS BrokenOkay David I just ran some quick tests using the latest Organize Series code and I’m UNABLE to reproduce this. Here’s what I did
1. First I loaded a default WordPress Theme (Twenty Twelve), activate Organize Series 2.4.5 and created a series with some posts in it.
2. I viewed the home page and a post in the series to see what styling is showing and the default.css is working as expected.
3. Then I went to the series options page and unchecked the “Use custom .css” checkbox and saved the options.
4. I went and viewed the previous pages and now there is NO styling (as expected).
5. Then I went to the orgSeries.css file and copied all the contents from there into the end of the themes style.css file and saved. I reloaded the previous pages and the styling had returned.
So, I’ve verified that everything is working as expected and cannot reproduce your issue David. There’s a couple of things that can be happening here.
1. Have you changed any of the markup in the series template fields on the “Series Options” page? By default Organize Series uses that markup for outputting series information (and hence uses any classes/ids set in the markup there).
2. Do you have any custom implementation of Organize Series information in your theme in which the default templates mentioned above are NOT being used?
3. Are you sure there are no other plugins installed that have stylesheets using the same ids/classes as what Organize Series uses (and that might be getting loaded later than the stylesheets for organize series).
The above might get you pointed in the right direction.

In reply to: [Issues and Series for Newspapers, Magazines, Publishers, Writers] CSS BrokenThis is definitely a weird problem you are experiencing, especially if you are experiencing the behaviour on default WordPress themes.
I will look into this and try to figure out what is going on and see if I can reproduce. I’ll post back here when I’ve got something to report.

In reply to: [Issues and Series for Newspapers, Magazines, Publishers, Writers] CSS BrokenDavid, do you use the default .css provided with 2.44 for Organize Series?
Yes, but this would require some custom code. You’d basically have to hook into the function that returns the series and limit it to however many you want returned.
Sorry I can’t be more clear than that, but this is the kind of usage/customization question that I don’t provide free support for and is why I created the Basic Support option for purchase at organizeseries.com
