Series of teaching posts

We have some single teaching posts which are actually a single teaching that is taught over many years. It makes UX sense to try and string these together so a viewer can watch one and move on to the next in the series.

Currently we try to put in a url link to the related teaching posts at the bottom of the post text. But this is quite hit and miss as, for example, you may be working on a post that is say part 3 and you add in links to parts 1 and 2 below it. But then part 4 comes along a few months later and you forget to go back to the other 3 posts and add its link to them. So it gets messy.

What I’m thinking is to add a tag box at the bottom of the custom teaching post edit page where you create and/or assign a post tag for just that teaching series. You give that tag to all the other teaching posts in that series. By doing so, those teaching posts will call all others in place (by teaching date order) to all the posts assigned that tag. So as more posts get the tag, they will automatically show up on all the other posts without having to go back in and manually add them.

There’s no need for these tags to be accessible in the general navigation. its just used for us to group a set of teaching posts.

For example, take this set of teachings from a single text that span 4 years. If we could just assign all these teaching posts with a ‘Treasury-of-Precious-Qualities-10’ tag, they could automatically appear as links at the bottom of the teaching.

So, to demonstrate it on the fourth teaching in that series, it would go from being this, to being like this. Note that the post you are viewing is in grey and not a red link title. So you know where you are in the list.

Is that doable as per the mock up?
