This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to create a View that displays CPTs from a different post type that have the same lowest-level taxonomy term as the current CPT or term archive page. It should be dynamic so it can be included in a widget on many different CPTs and archives.
Solution: Add the following custom shortcode, which will return the lowest-level taxonomy term for a specific CPT or Archive:
add_shortcode( 'ts_deepest_location', 'ts_deepest_location_func');
function ts_deepest_location_func($atts)
{
$id = $atts['id'];
$terms = wp_get_post_terms( $id, 'locations', array( 'orderby' => 'id', 'order' => 'DESC' ) );
$deepestTerm = false;
$maxDepth = -1;
foreach ($terms as $term) {
$ancestors = get_ancestors( $term->term_id, 'locations' );
$termDepth = count($ancestors);
if ($termDepth > $maxDepth) {
$deepestTerm = $term;
$maxDepth = $termDepth;
}
}
return $deepestTerm->slug;
}
To display the View on a CPT, use this shortcode in a shortcode argument for a View filtered by taxonomy:
[wpv-view name="featured-breaks-for-markets-view" wpvlocations="[ts_deepest_location id="[wpv-post-id id='$current_page']"]"]
To display the View on a taxonomy Archive, use a wpv-taxonomy-archive shortcode in a shortcode argument for a View filtered by taxonomy:
[wpv-view name="featured-markets-for-locations-view" wpvlocations="[wpv-taxonomy-archive info='slug']"]
Be sure to register the ts_deepest_location function in Toolset > Settings > Front end Content > 3rd Party Shortcode arguments.
