Hello! I am working with a wordpress theme in which I would like to create a template based off of an existing on that only displays a certain taxonomy/skill. I’ve been told i need to create custom PHP code and am supposed to look here for usage:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters
I have no knowledge of PHP, and would really appreciate any guidance or help on this one! Here is the PHP code for the current template I would like to filter to only show a specific “skill” = "commercials.
<?php /* filter portfolio custom post type and show unlimited items */ query_posts( 'post_type=ml_portfolio&posts_per_page=-1'); //get the slides effect options $latest_n_pictures = of_get_option('ml_latest_n_pictures', '5'); $slides_effect = of_get_option('ml_slides_effect', 'random'); $slides_slices = of_get_option('ml_slides_slices', '4'); $slides_box_cols = of_get_option('ml_slides_box_cols', '4'); $slides_box_rows = of_get_option('ml_slides_box_rows', '4'); $slides_anim_speed = of_get_option('ml_slides_anim_speed', '0.5') * 1000; $slides_pause_time = of_get_option('ml_slides_pause_time', '2.5') * 1000; ?> <?php /* filter by skill */ ?> <?php /* button to show all the items */ ?>
<li class="selected"><a href="#" data-value="all"><?php _e('All', 'meydjer'); ?></a></li>
<?php /* generate one button per skill */ ?>
<?php
$terms = get_terms('ml_skill');
$count = count($terms);
if ( $count > 0 ){
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
echo "<li><a href=\"#\">" . $term->name . "</a></li>";
}
}
?>
</ul>
<?php
$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'ml_skill' ); // get an array of all the terms as objects.
$terms_slugs = array();
$portfolio_item = '';
foreach( $terms as $term ) {
$portfolio_item = $portfolio_item . ' ' . 'skill_' . sanitize_title($term->name) . ' '; // save each sanitized name inside the array and add a 'skill_' prefix to prevent conclicts
}
$portfolio_item = $portfolio_item . 'portfolio-item';
