Using Custom Taxonomy

[babaLucas]

I added a custom taxonomy to the portfolio.

I tried to use the [show_post_snippets] to filter by my custom taxonomy since taxonomy is a parameter available. Any suggestions?

Here’s the shortcode:
[show_post_snippets post_type="portfolio" terms="dispositions" taxonomy="contribution" number_of_columns=4 post_count=50 image_size='small' excerpt_count=100 display_text="true" show_excerpt="true" hide_thumbnail="false"]

The theme currently sets the taxonomy for known post types like portfolio and gallery automatically in line number 495 of framework/functions/post-functions.php file. Only for other custom post types, you can set the taxonomy. You can modify (or remove) the line above to specify the taxonomy of your own.

That’s great; worked perfectly thank you.

One last question: I copied that file to the same directory in my /agile-child but it doesn’t work. What am I missing there?

Pls override the function mo_get_post_snippets_list($args) in your child theme. You cannot replace the whole file like a template page in the root theme directory.

I’m once again having this issue in version 4.1 of the theme.

Trying to use this shortcode:

[show_post_snippets terms=”acquisition” taxonomy=”contribution” post_type=”portfolio” number_of_columns=4 post_count=8 image_size=’medium’]

Can I get a temp access so that I can take a closer look at your change you have in your child theme to make this work? Thank you.

I added this piece of code in your child theme functions.php –

if (!function_exists('mo_get_taxonomy')) {
    function mo_get_taxonomy($post_type) {

        $taxonomy = 'category';

        if ($post_type == 'portfolio')
            $taxonomy = 'contribution';
        elseif ($post_type == 'gallery_item')
            $taxonomy = 'gallery_category';
        elseif ($post_type == 'post')
            $taxonomy = 'category';

        return $taxonomy;
    }
}

It did not work for some reason. Then I changed the parameter from taxonomy to taxonamy (the earlier versions of the theme had this typo) and things are working due to a backwards compatibility code I had in place to accommodate older versions of the theme. Pls check. I have removed the above code.
