Generate paginated post index per-series

[KayOhtie]

Basically what it says; it'd be neat to be able to have a paginated (if using such) index of all articles in each series as an option, especially ordered by series index value. Right now, pagination of articles in an index is dictated only by the sort order across the whole site, so if you want articles listing normally in reverse chronological order, you can't then have a chronological listing only for specific categories or series.

I'd like a feature to generate an index listing per-series, likely by default at /series/{{ series.name }}.html and organized in series order.

Hi @Ceralor and sorry for the long delay.
I'm not completely sure I can follow the whole explanation: you basically would like the plugin to add a page with all the items in a series, right?

I'm afraid this can't be done with Pelican at the moment.

What you can do is to create a page whose template uses the variable series, which is the dictionary of all series. As I'm working on a new version of the plugin I will add a description in the documentation shortly.
However, unfortunately this is how far you can go with Pelican plugins at the moment (as far as I know, at least).

Let me know if I misunderstood your request and keep an eye on the next version of the plugin. Thanks!

I just realised that the documentation already mentions the global context provided by the key series. Please let me know if that is of any help.

I think the request is to have the ability to generate a page like tag.url or category.url. For example this will give a count of the number of articles in a category, with a link to the category.url for each which looks like https://example.com/category/jobs.html:

<table id="categories">
  {% for category, articles in categories|sort %}
  <tr>
    <td>
      <a href="{{ SITEURL }}/{{ category.url }}">{{ category }}</a>
    </td>
    <td>
        {{ articles|count }}
    </td>
  </tr>
  {% endfor %}
</table>

With this request, the same thing could be done per series, with each linking to https://example.com/series/job_hunting.html

Going through the documentation, I don't see an article_series.url - it seems to be at article.url based on the Global Context example in the README.

I think it'd mimic the categories.html and category.html default templates with the plural being used to a listing each available series, and the singular used to show articles in a selected series like the category/tag templates do already.

Does this summarize your request @KayOhtie or should I post this as a new feature request?
