I have just released a discourse plugin for chaining topics
When I was going over Beginner's Guide to Creating Discourse Plugins Part 1: Creating a basic plugin the guide is splitted into 7 parts.
I thought why not creating a plugin for this use case; where you have topics in a chain.
By using this plugin you could add “Next Topic” and “Previous Topic” links on the topic title.
See screenshot below for example how it would look:
For more details and install : GitHub - zaatdev/discourse-chain-topics: This a discourse plugin which adds a feature where it would be possible to chain topics. A topic can have other topic to be it's next or previous topic.
Special thanks to @angus for How to add custom fields to models the guide/example enormously simplized the way I wrote the plugin.

Absolutely LOVE this – a very important feature for Story forums as well as Documentation forums!
I’m getting a 500 error when I click the Save Edit button. The field in the composer doesn’t seem to keep what I enter into it…
Paginate Pagination Prev Next Previous Next In Sequence Sequential Forward Back (adding some key words here to make this Topic easier to find for folks!)
Here’s a method I’m using …

Hey @denvergeeks , yes the plugins probably need some refactoring. I haven’t given it much attention recently, I will try devote sometime soon.

I am trying to reproduce, but couldn’t for the same exact error you report.
What is your version of discourse (I tried from the master branch)
Do you have spesfic plugins, settings that are not typical
Did you get that error always, no matter the type of topics…etc

Hello @ghassan – I still get the same 500 error when saving the Topic post!
What is your version of discourse (I tried from the master branch)
I’m all up to date!
Do you have specific plugins, settings that are not typical
I tried removing all other plugins but the same…
Did you get that error always, no matter the type of topics…etc
Yes always – all types of Topics result in the same 500 error!
This plugin would be so useful, I really do hope you can fix it!!!

Any chance for updating this plugin, @ghassan ?
This feature for users to organize Docs pages into sequences would be really nifty with the newly refactored Discourse Docs!

This could probably be done as a theme component, eh?
But then again, it isn’t very difficult to manually put a link at either the top or the bottom of the post.
