I think I spoke to soon.. Its 99% there.. I seem to have an issue now which is rather frustrating… I’m getting them to display correctly.. but now when I look in different categories (I have set up 2 different categories), i’m getting both the child categories display… even though they are from different parent categories..

http://whyttip.eu/index.php/meps/bulgaria/
http://whyttip.eu/index.php/meps/belgium/

password: ecr_group

for some strange reason they are both displaying even though one sub category (Bulgaria Without Censorship (България без цензура)) is for Bugaria and the other (New Flemish Alliance (Nieuw-Vlaamse Alliantie)) is for Belgium.

The code i’m using is below. Can anyone help me work this out?

Terribly Sorry… don’t know why it didn’t work…

<?php
$member_group_terms = get_terms( ‘systemcontents_category2′);
$selected = get_sub_field(‘system_contents_posts’);
?>
<?php
foreach ( $member_group_terms as $member_group_term ) {
$member_group_query = new WP_Query( array(
‘post_type’ => ‘pj_systemcontents2′,
‘systemcontents_category2′ => $selected,
‘tax_query’ => array(
array(
‘taxonomy’ => ‘systemcontents_category2′,
‘field’ => ‘slug’,
‘terms’ => array( $member_group_term->slug ),
‘operator’ => ‘IN’
)
)
)
);?>
<?php if ( $member_group_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<h3><?php echo $member_group_term->name; ?></h3>

<?php while ( $member_group_query->have_posts() ) : $member_group_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID,’document-section’,true) ?>
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID,’document-reference’,true) ?> <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID,’document-sub-section’,true) ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php endif; ?>
<?php

I CRACKED IT…. it needed to be ‘hierarchical’ => false and it worked!!!!

• in reply to: Taxonomy Issue

when i set the ‘child_of’ => $currentCat in the get_terms array… it just reverts to displaying both categories again..

• chrismitchell

• in reply to: Taxonomy Issue
• October 22, 2015 at 10:47 pm

right.. so I need the top level category to be dynamic for the one that you are currently viewing… I tried to do the following extra code to load this as current category:
<?php $currentCat = $_GET[‘cat’];?>

But its not working still…

I have set as ‘parent’ => $currentCat within the get_terms array, but it now just displays the current category only (the Parent category).

The weirdest thing is… is that the post that is displaying isn’t in the parent category at all (its not selected to anyway), its only in the child category.. so it should be displaying / appearing below the child category not the parent….

Its not making much sense …

I’ve tried the below and also tried the ‘parent’ => 0.

If I do the below, nothing happens. If I do the ‘parent’ => 0 it removes the subcategory and only shows the parent… there must be something i’m doing wrong 🙁

<?php 
$member_group_terms = get_terms( 'meps_category', array(
	'child_of' => 0
 ) );
?>
<?php
foreach ( $member_group_terms as $member_group_term ) {
    $member_group_query = new WP_Query( array(
        'post_type' => 'mep',
        'tax_query' => array(
            array(
                'taxonomy' => 'meps_category',
                'field' => 'slug',
                'terms' => array( $member_group_term->slug ),
				'operator' => 'IN' 
            )
        )
    )
	);?>

that sooooo close!

Its still showing the parent category at the top, which is wrong… but its now showing the child category below, which is right.

tried the below instead.. it displays the category information, but below the post (see the screenshot) which makes no sense, as it should be displaying it where it says Belgium, and then when you press the expander it will display the posts (the MEPs) underneath.

• July 24, 2014 at 4:45 pm

Unfortunately that didn’t work. All it ends up doing is displaying the full URL of the image instead of the image itself.

I decided not to worry about making it a shortcode. I have instead just made a template using the <?php method instead which seems to work perfectly 🙂

Thanks for your help though Hube2 🙂

• in reply to: Auto increment number field from front end button
• November 7, 2013 at 8:32 pm

Could you point me out where this code isn’t working with the update_field option:

HTML
on the button id=”rsvp_button”

PHP (in the functions.php file)
function my_action_callback() {

global $post; // You still may need to pass the POST ID here from the JS ajax.
// get each post by ID
$postID = $post->ID;
// get the post’s custom fields
$custom = get_post_custom($postID);
// find the view count field
$views = intval($custom[‘number_attending’][0]);
// increment the count
if($views > 0) {
update_field($postID, ‘number_attending’, ($views + 1));
} else {
update_field($postID, ‘number_attending’, 1, true);
}
die(); // this is required to return a proper result
}
add_action(‘wp_ajax_my_action’, ‘my_action_callback’);

JS (in the header.php)
<script type=”text/javascript”>
jQuery(‘body’).on(‘click’,’#rsvp_button’,function($){
var data = { action: ‘my_action’ };

$.post(ajaxurl, data, function(response) {
});
});
</script>

For some reason the sets above don’t seem to work.

Any help would be great 🙂
