This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I am trying to create a hierarchy in three levels
Level 1
/property-for-sale
Level 2
/property-for-sale/spain
/property-for-sale/madrid
/property-for-sale/valencia
/property-for-sale/nice
Level 3
/property-for-sale/madrid/apartment-in-serranos
/property-for-sale/madrid/apartment-in-la-moraleja
/property-for-sale/nice/mont-boron
/property-for-sale/nice/cimiez
I have tried to build this using both taxonomies and custom post types but do not manage to get it to work properly
Ideally, I would like it to work as follows
Level 1 and level 2 are both archive pages
However, the archive pages should only
- include children one level down
- and only those children that belong to a certain taxonomy
E.g, of the four level 2 examples above, only the following two belong to the ‘for sale’ taxonomy
- /property-for-sale/spain
- /property-for-sale/france
Consequently, on the ‘/property-for-sale’ archive page should only these two sections immediately above appear.
Solution:
There isn't such a built-in feature within Types plugin, but you can setup such kind of permalinks with only one "hierarchical" custom post type, just like the wordpress built-in post type "Page", for example:
1) You can create a custom post type "property-for-sale" with Types plugin
in section "Sections to display when editing ", enable option "Page Attributes",
in section "Options", enable option "hierarchical"
Then you will get a "hierarchical" custom post type

2) Then create a view to query the child posts, and display this in the level 1 and level 2 posts

Hi, Thanks for keeping the ticket open.
The remaining problem I have is as follows
I have created the custom post type 'properties for sale'
Here I have created a two level structure - see attachment 1
The first level, ie '/properties for sale' show the intended archive layout (Layout for Property for sale Archives)
But
How can I get the next level, ie /properties for sale/barcelona' to also show the archive layout (see attachment 2) while level three, ie ie /properties for sale/barcelona/xxxxx' should display the page layout (see attachment 3)
Secondly, I made a mistake when describing the search flow in the first message.
The archive pages for the first two levels ('/properties for sale' and /properties for sale/barcelona' should both display links to level three pages - /properties for sale' display an archive page with all properties for sale while /properties for sale/barcelona' should only displays properties for sale in Barcelona.
Hope you can help.
Best regards / john
