I am trying to list all terms from the custom taxonomy: “book_type” that have the name ‘fiction’ in the taxonomy custom field ‘book_group’
I use this code, but it won’t work: (code based on this topic: http://wpquestions.com/question/showChrono/id/9779 )
<?php
$terms = get_terms( 'book_type', array(
'hide_empty' => 0
) );
foreach( $terms as $term ) {
if( get_field('book_group', 'book_type_'.$term->term_id) != 'fiction:Fiction' )
continue;
echo '<div>' . $term->name . '</div>';
}
?>
Is the get_field used right here? With the term Id instead of the post_id. In the topic I found this example code, they say it works. Any suggestions what I am doing wrong here?
I tried with ‘fiction’ instead of ‘fiction:Fiction’ too.
What type of field is “book_group”
Hi Hube2
The Field Type is: Checkbox
checkobxes are stored as serialzed data. The value returned by get_field is going to be an array. So you need to do something like:
if (in_array('Fiction', get_field('book_group', 'book_type_'.$term->term_id))
Thank you, now I have this code, but some syntax error occurs on the line with the if statement:
<?php
$terms = get_terms( 'book_type', array(
'hide_empty' => 0
) );
foreach( $terms as $term ) {
if (in_array('Fiction', get_field('book_group', 'book_type_'.$term->term_id))
{
continue;
echo '<div>' . $term->name . '</div>';
}
}
?>
I missed a closing parenthesis on my if statement
<?php
//start by fetching the terms for the product_type taxonomy
$terms = get_terms( ‘product_type’, array(
‘hide_empty’ => 1
) );
foreach( $terms as $term ) {
if (in_array(‘Fiction’, get_field(‘book_group’, ‘book_type_’.$term->term_id))) {
continue;
echo ‘<div>’ . $term->name . ‘</div>';
}
}
?>
Thanks Hube2!
I needed to remove the continue; to get it to work.
