no. the chapter number is no longer used with bookpublisher. i mean a 
plugin in the backend interface so that admins can change redirect old 
chapter titles to new ones. this is allllll going to change in time as 
booki is going to replace these processes. but not yet. in the meantime 
any php time from anyone to dev this plugin would be useful
