Unable to build a page that shows all series (not shows in a series).

[fozzieblue]

I've installed the cablecast plugin on a test WordPress site using Wordpress 6.2.2.

I'm able to see a series page by going to a show and clicking the link next to "series" in the show details. Here's a link to a series page: https://dev-necat.pantheonsite.io/series/1116letsplaygames/

I've tried to add a block to show all series, but there isn't a block available. I looked for a taxonomy block, but I only see category and tag.

Is there a way to create a page that shows a list of all series (like this: https://cmac.tv/series-guide/) by using the block system? Or does this have to be done in code?

Apologies if this is already answered in issues. I looked, but I'm coming from Drupal and I'm still getting used to WordPress.

Hello! I'm from CMAC. I made this into a plugin, I'll send it later today. You'll be able to use a shortcode within a block to create the series list.

@bryanharley Hi! That sounds excellent. Looking forward to trying it out. :)

See attached. Install this plugin. It will create two custom shortcodes you can use in blocks or pages/posts. I haven't tested this on another WP installation (other than ours). Let me know if this works for you. Here's some documentation:

Shortcode: [series_list]
Description: Displays the names of all series/projects in Cablecast. Names are hyperlinked to the series/project's page.

Shortcode: [producers_list]
Description: Displays the names of all producers in Cablecast. Names are hyperlinked to the producer's page.

There's some simple styling in the plugin, feel free to edit to your desire.

Thank you so much for sharing that plugin. It worked perfectly! https://dev-necat.pantheonsite.io/shows/
