Last book in series
Is there a plugin or something that can let me know the last book number in a serie from a template? Most of my series have just a few books, some are bigger get up to 30 books... but just a few are huge (more than a hundred books).

I've been trying to write a template like this {series}/{series_index}-{title} where series index has one, two or more digits based on the last book in the series but anything apart from a custom LBIS column (manual input) which is very tedious to maintain I have no clue...

Any help would be apreciated.

TIA,
Khonshu

There isn't any way to do what you want other than the one you mentioned. Reason: a template can see the metadata for the book being processed. It cannot see metadata for any other book or for the database in general.

I was afraid that would be the answer... Thanks anyway.

If you sort by popularity it should be easier to find and mark the larger series.
