add another taxonomy and use it in views

Hi,

I need to view testimonials with selected categories and another taxonomy.
I created a new taxonomy (‘orientation’) for strong testimonials which is registered in a function called by add_action( 'init', 'clea_ib_add_taxonomy_to_strong_testimonial', 11 );.
When I modify or create testimonials, I can now select or create a “orientation”.

Is there a solution to display this taxonomy in the views pages so that I may construct views for specific “orientation” ?

Thanks
Anne-Laure

Hi,

There is no mechanism for adding custom taxonomies to the view editor. However, there is a filter on the query arguments. Try this function:

function strong_testimonials_query_args( $args ) {
	/* using the term ID: */
	$args['tax_query'] = array(
		array(
			'taxonomy' => 'orientation',
			'field'    => 'id',
			'terms'    => 123
		)
	);

	/* using the term slug: */
	//$args['tax_query'] = array(
	//	array(
	//		'taxonomy' => 'orientation',
	//		'field'    => 'slug',
	//		'terms'    => 'whatever'
	//	)
	//);

	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'wpmtst_query_args', 'strong_testimonials_query_args' );

Thanks a lot!
A added this function in my code so that page with id 914 will show only the testimonials with a ‘orientation’ taxonomy set to ‘orientation-isa’ while all other pages will show testiminials with the default ‘orientation’, which is set to ‘orientation-complet’

function clea_ib_strong_testimonials_query_args( $args ) {

	if ( is_page( 914 ) ) {
		
		$orientation_tag_slug = 'orientation-isabelle' ;

	} else {
		
		$orientation_tag_slug = 'orientation-complet' ; // is default 'orientation' value
		
	}

	/* using the term slug: */
	$args['tax_query'] = array(
		array(
			'taxonomy' => 'orientation',
			'field'    => 'slug',
			'terms'    => $orientation_tag_slug
		)
	);	
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'wpmtst_query_args', 'clea_ib_strong_testimonials_query_args' );
