Hi,
I have a CPT called "Persons", with hundreds of posts of persons.
This CPT has 3 custom taxonomies:
- Person Classification: contains multiple classifications like author, speaker, musician, poet..etc
- Initial letter: contains the alphabet as terms, so visitors can filter the persons by the first letter of their first name.
- Century: contains the centuries as terms, so visitors can filter the persons that lived in a certain century.
i created a view that shows all persons. Visitors can choose any classification, which then shows the corresponding letters and available centuries..etc
the system is working perfectly fine. all 3 taxonomy filters are using url parameters.
however, i want to create a smaller version of this view showing only the content creators (e.g. authors, speakers, painters, but not soldiers, doctors..etc). I still want visitors to be able to filter using the initial letter and century, as well as going between the available author types that I chose (so they can filter the authors only, or speakers only..etc, but they should not see any of the classifications i did not choose, like soldiers or doctors).
i changed the "Person classification" filter from a url parameter to "one of the following" and ticked the terms i want to show in the dropdown list only, but this did not work. it made the view broken.
So i changed it to use a "shortcode" and added the slugs of the terms i want to show in the shortcode, but this one still did not work. this option seems to have some influence on the results, (As the outcome changes a bit from the previous trial), however the results are still meaningless an broken.
I need to know how to limit the available options of one filter, and leave the other two as is.
I provided login details, and the view that I am testing on is called: All Authors - speakers View
thanks.
