[Gelöst] count

I am trying to display a custom taxonomy count for ONLY the child posts. This is what I have

Parent Posts
Each parent post has its own child posts.
Each child post has 3 taxonomies

I want the parent post to display a count of taxonomies in its children only.

Currently I am getting a full count of all the taxonomies of all the child posts.

Setup:

1 Content Template which displays the Parent Post.

Within it I have a VIEW as follows:

Content Selection - Payment Reports (the child posts)
Query Filter: Select posts that are children of the Post where this View is shown.
Limit and Offset: 1
Loop output editor:

[wpv-layout-start]
	[wpv-items-found]
	<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
		<wpv-loop>
          [wpv-view name="payment-status-taxonomy"]
        </wpv-loop>
	<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
	[/wpv-items-found]
	[wpv-no-items-found]
		<strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong>
	[/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]

The above has this view in it:

Name: Post Status Taxonomy.

Content Selection: Taxonomy > Payment Statuses
Query Options: Include terms that have non-empty descendants, Include children in the post count
Limit: None
Query filters: None

Loop Output Editor

[wpv-layout-start]
	[wpv-items-found]
<!-- wpv-loop-start -->

	<wpv-loop>
 [wpv-post-body view_template="Loop item in Payment Status"]     
	</wpv-loop>
	<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
	[/wpv-items-found]
	[wpv-no-items-found]
		<strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong>
	[/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]

Templates for this View

<span class="badge [wpv-taxonomy-slug]">[wpv-taxonomy-post-count] </span>

As you can see from the screenshot attached, I get an output of 2 Green, 1 Red, 2 Orange but this is wrong. It is picking up the count of taxonomy from another post. It should display: 2 Green, 1 Red, 1 Orange.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

[wpv-taxonomy-post-count] shortcode will output the number of posts for the current taxonomy inside a taxonomy view loop.
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-taxonomy-post-count

To get child post count, you need to use following code:

$childargs = array(
'post_type' => 'room',
'numberposts' => -1,
'meta_query' => array(array('key' => '_wpcf_belongs_property_id', 'value' => get_the_ID()))
);
$child_posts = get_posts($childargs);
$total = count($child_posts);

You can convernt above code in to shortcode and return the $total to dispaly the count of child posts.

Thank, but the above code will only output the number of child posts. I need to render at least the number of child posts for a particular taxonomy. The count of child posts have to be specific for the parent as per the description and image above.

Can we count values in a custom field and display that?

For example I could create a custom field with the 3 options with value of 1 if selected and 0 for not selected.

I would then need a code which will count each of the values separately for the children.

Which option is easiest and better for performance?

Fixed! I created 3 CPT as child posts, did away with the taxonomy then filtered using views and added the short code [wpv-found-count]

Works perfectly and a much more organized solution 🙂
