Topic Tag: Setting up custom taxonomy

Problem: I would like to use the custom shortcode get_taxonomy_items to display links to hierarchical term archives in a Custom HTML widget, but the term links appear before the widget instead of inside the widget.

Solution: When used in a Custom HTML widget, this custom shortcode must be modified as shown:

/* modifica per categorie personalizzate */
function get_taxonomy_items_func($atts){
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'taxonomy_name' => '',
), $atts ) );
$args = array(
'taxonomy' => $taxonomy_name,
'hierarchical' => 1,
'title_li'=>0
);
ob_start();
wp_list_categories( $args );
return ob_get_clean(); 
}
add_shortcode('get_taxonomy_items', 'get_taxonomy_items_func');

Then insert this code in the Custom HTML widget:

<ul class="widget_categories">
    [get_taxonomy_items taxonomy_name="tribunali"]
</ul>

Problem: I would like to know some best practices for adding custom JavaScript to affect a custom search View's filters.

Solution:
- Use the View's Filter Editor JS panel to insert custom JavaScript, or enqueue it in your theme as an external JS file
- Use the namespace 'jQuery' instead of '$'. Replace $ with jQuery
- Wrap any jQuery code in a jQuery document ready handler so it is executed after jQuery is initialized:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
  // add your code here, using the namespace 'jQuery' instead of '$'
});

- In the Filter Editor JS panel, you can find a button "Frontend Events". This opens a dialog that will allow you to construct event handlers related to specific frontend filter events, like pagination events and search events.
