One more follow-up question

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

For some lists, there won't be any subcategories (ie none of the taxonomy terms used), and for those lists, I would ideally like to fall back to a different view instead.

Solution:

You can register the taxonomy subcategories to both post types, for example:

OK, great - that worked! One more follow-up question: for some lists, there won't be any subcategories (ie none of the taxonomy terms used), and for those lists, I would ideally like to fall back to a different view instead. Right now I've got:

[wpv-layout-start]
[wpv-items-found]
<h2>[wpv-attribute name="term_title"]</h2>

<wpv-loop>
[wpv-post-body view_template="loop-item-in-online-resource-take-2"]
</wpv-loop>

[/wpv-items-found]
[wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-view name="online-resource-description-for-list"]
[/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]

This is close, except that the online-resource-description-for-list view repeats once for each taxonomy term from the parent view. Is there a different way to accomplish this without the repetition?

Hello,

This is expected result.

As a workaround, you can try these:
1) Register the taxonomy "subcategories" to both post type: "resource" and "resource list"
2) Edit teach "resource list", setup the terms of taxonomy "subcategories"
3) Edit the parent taxonomy view, add a filter:
Taxonomy is set by the page where this View is inserted
4) In section "Loop Editor", within shortcode [wpv-no-items-found]...[/wpv-no-items-found], display your different view shortcode:
[wpv-view name="online-resource-description-for-list"]

That worked great! I wouldn't even call it a workaround. 🙂 Thanks!
