I am using a custom hierarchial taxonomy. Now i want to create a custom search view where i want to show two dropdown one for the parent taxonomy and when it is selected only the child taxonomies under this parent taxonomy start appearing in another dropdown. Is it Possible?

Hello,

Unfortunately no this is not possible. This is because it is still one taxonomy category. The only way this is possible is if the child terms are a separate taxonomy.

Thanks,

could you please explain, suppose i create two taxonomies 1.state 2.city.
how to create a search view filter so that city is dependent on taxonomy.
I want to achieve it using taxonomy because i will pass the taxonomy value in url to google analytics.

Hello,

Yes creating 2 separate taxonomies will work.

Now this will be on the views side to make the appropriate city appear.

Take a quick look at our documentation here
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/front-page-filters/advanced-settings-custom-search/#dependent-parametric-search

This will allow you to setup your dependent filters.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
