It is almost as if the Submit button jumps right to archive.php ignoring possible alternatives like taxonomy-member.php or even just taxonomy.php.
Any one able to provide some advice?
Kory
I see, you found the answer. Can you share it with us? I have the same problem; want to show all of the products when no dropdown is marked and the searchbutton is hit.
I’d love to know this as well.
This was done with just submitting an empty query, and ensuring that my archive for custom post type member was built out. It will jump to a default archive for a custom post type if no special template is defined.
Thanks for the reply… I think you may have had a different problem than the one I’m trying to solve. I’ve already built a CPT archive specific to each of my post types, but submitting an empty query seems to just take me to a page built from index.php. I guess my problem is that I’m struggling to find a way to include my CPT in the query string automatically.
Basically, I’ve got a few custom taxonomies (resource_type, topics, timeline) which I want to query within a CPT called ‘resource’.
I can access the cpt archive by going to http://site.com/?post_type=resource
But when I make my query I lose this parameter… I get a query string that looks like, for example, “http://site.com/?resource_type=magazine-article&topics=&timeline=”
What I want is to have the resource archive automatically add “?post_type=resource” to query strings, resulting in query strings like this: “http://site.com/?post_type=resource&resource_type=magazine-article&topics=&timeline=”
One way to solve this would be to add a dropdown for post types, but for some reason I can’t seem to get this to appear.
Sorry if this is the wrong place for all this… I think I may have to start my own support thread.
Probably best to start your own thread, are you using http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/query-multiple-taxonomies/
What are the multiple types that you want to query, this is probably because query strings are specific to the type.
Yeah, I’m using version 1.62 of QMT.
I want to query ‘resource’, ‘people’, ‘animation’, ‘studios’ and ‘wiki’, depending on if I’m in the resource, people, animation, studios, or wiki archives, respectively.
Following this (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-query-multiple-taxonomies-base-url-problem?replies=6#post-3452905) I’ve come up with the following code… though it doesn’t seem to actually affect my queries.
if ( is_post_type_archive() ) {
$CPTquery = get_post_type( $post->name );
}
function my_qmt_base_url() {
return '../?post_type=' . $CPTquery;
}
add_filter( 'qmt_base_url', 'my_qmt_base_url' );
Still struggling but after a few hours I think that the code looks closer to what it should:
function my_qmt_base_url() {
if (is_post_type_archive()) {
$CPTquery = get_post_type( $post->name );
}
return add_query_arg( 'post_type', $CPTquery );
}
add_filter( 'qmt_base_url', 'my_qmt_base_url' );
I’ve started a new thread so not to monopolize this one: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-empty-queries-filter-automatically-by-custom-post-type-of-archive?replies=1#post-3453695
