How to display taxonomy checkbox links on WooCommerce product category archive

I have been at this for two days with no luck and I hoping someone can help. What I am trying to accomplish is very simple, yet I am missing something.

I have a several custom fields that appear on the WooCommerce product category edit screen (where you add/edit product categories), which then display the output on the archive-product.php category template. I have managed to display all of my custom fields on the front-end product category archives with the exception of the taxonomy custom field.

What I am trying to do is have the user choose from multiple product categories, then on the front-end just display the links to other product categories, a simple text link.

The unsuccessful code I am using for this is:

<?php 

$terms = get_field('quick_links');

if( $terms ): ?>

	<ul>

	<?php foreach( $terms as $term ): ?>

		<a href="<?php echo get_term_link( $term ); ?>"><?php echo $term->name; ?></a>

	<?php endforeach; ?>

	</ul>

<?php endif; ?>

I tested the above code out on a regular page template and it works as I wanted. However, I cannot get it to display on my product category archive template.

I only was able to display the OTHER custom fields I have, with the following code:

<?php 
$queried_object = get_queried_object(); 
$taxonomy = $queried_object->taxonomy;
$term_id = $queried_object->term_id;  

echo '<div class="top-content-block">';
the_field('top_content_block', $taxonomy . '_' . $term_id);
echo '</div>';

echo '<div class="center-content-block">';
the_field('center_content_block', $taxonomy . '_' . $term_id);
echo '</div>';

echo '<div class="featured-product-block">';
the_field('featured_products', $taxonomy . '_' . $term_id);
echo '</div>';

?>

Does anyone have any suggestions? I am at a loss.

Thanks

Hi @cjf9

You need to do the same for the tax field as with all your others and set the second parameter the same way.

<?php 
$queried_object = get_queried_object(); 
$taxonomy = $queried_object->taxonomy;
$term_id = $queried_object->term_id;  
$related_terms = get_field('quick_links', $taxonomy . '_' . $term_id);
if( $related_terms ): ?>

	<ul>

	<?php foreach( $related_terms as $related_term ): ?>

		<a href="<?php echo get_term_link( $related_term ); ?>"><?php echo $related_term->name; ?></a>

	<?php endforeach; ?>

	</ul>

<?php endif; ?>

Thank you Johnathan! That did the trick! I was so close to the code you just posted, just wasn’t quite there yet.
