Tell us what you are trying to do?

I want to do a full text search on a taxonomy field and return a list of all taxonomies containing the text with a link to the custom post(s) where this taxonomy term appears. Is it possible to do a full text search on a taxonomy field? Is there an example of this you can point me to?

Thanks for any help

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

You can add taxonomy filter as select dropdown, multiselect, radio button and as checkboxes.

There is no such feture available to apply text search on taxonomy names.

would it be possible to copy the taxonomy field to a toolset custom field and then apply a full text search to this custom field ?

[Minesh]

Yes - that could be the option but you will have write custom code that should copy the related taxonomy term name/title to the custom field you will create for existing posts and post you will create in future.

There is no such feature available with Toolset, but you can use "save_post" hook to assign taxonomy term title when you add/update post in backend.

Hi Minesh,
I've created a custom fields term group called "English plant names" with the following fields English name (single line), plant url (URL). I want to create a csv file to import the data. Please can you remind me what the headings and format of the csv file are.

Thanks

[Minesh]

Well - you will have to create the post field group and add the custom field to post field group not the term field group and then assign this post field group to display with your post type.

ok, thanks. What I want to know is if I create a csv file to import into this post field group that contains English name (single line) and plant url (URL) what is the format and headers of the csv file?

Thanks

Hi Minesh,
Still having problems importing the custom fields - in allImport step 3 (image attached) how do i specify that I want to import wpcf-eng-name-search and wpcf-eng-name-search-url from the uploaded csv file - at the moment I'm only getting the title, the rest is blank.
I've attached images of the csv file I'm importing and the toolset custom fields to recieve the import.
Thanks for your help

Hi Minesh, I misread the instructions and tried to upload using all import instead of csv uploader plugin. All ok now.

Thanks
