Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am trying to re-create the business directory that currently exists on my client's Joomla-based site, which uses Mosets Tree.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
I have tried following various articles on your help site, but I find the structure and setup of Toolset frustrating.
Is there a similar example that we can see? hidden link
What is the link to your site?
The site is currently under development and has restricted access
Requirements:
- Main directory page with alpha index sorting of listings
- Linked category names with total amount of listings per category
- Category name and description displayed on each individual category page
- Linked listing names displayed with additional fields on each individual category page
- Show more/less toggles to reveal/hide additional fields on each individual category page
Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
Here is a sandbox site login, you can login to it and play with it:
- hidden link
Requirements:
- Main directory page with alpha index sorting of listings
===>
To create A-Z glossary list, its possible either two ways, either you setup A-Z as taxonomy or as new post type. Please check the following reference ticket where solution is mentioned:
=> https://toolset.com/forums/topic/az-glossary/#post-476253
- Linked category names with total amount of listings per category
===>
Once you create the taxonomy view, you can use the following shortcode to display taxonomy link and taxonomy post count:
[wpv-taxonomy-link] ([wpv-taxonomy-post-count])
- Category name and description displayed on each individual category page
===>
To display the caregory name and description, you should create taxonomy archive. Please check the following Doc:
-https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-a-custom-archive-page/
To display the taxonomy term description on archive page, you can use the shortcode:
- Linked listing names displayed with additional fields on each individual category page
===>
Within taxonomy archive's loop, you should add the post link to display the post title as link and add any other fields related to posts. Please check the taxonomy archive here:
- hidden link
(Backend- hidden link
- Show more/less toggles to reveal/hide additional fields on each individual category page
===>
For that either you will have to use the bootstrap toggle or use bind the element with custom jQuery.
I suggest you should go through the above test site and check and play with it to ensure what you can do with Toolset and how.
I have the alpha listing and the categories displayed, but cannot figure out how to build the view for the individual alphabet pages. These pages should display like: hidden link
Here are the parameters I have for the "Listings" post type view:
Content Selection: Post type > Listings
Query Options: Don't include current page in query result (checked)
Ordering: Post title - Ascending
Query Filter: Tried alpha listing taxonomy and directory categories. Both produced no results
Can you please share admin access details and on what page you want to display alpha filer?
*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.
I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
As Minesh is away, I will be assisting on his queue.
Can you let me know the page that you are listing out the category on ? Meaning the page where you want the information to be filtered by the taxonomy in the URL.
It should also be noted that wordpress does do this by default with the taxonomy archives but please let me know the page you're working with.
I've added the following view filter using the "Code Snippet" plugin:
=> hidden link
add_filter('wpv_filter_query', 'func_filter_title_ by_first_letter_digit_glossary', 10, 2);
function by_first_letter_digit_glossary($query, $setting) {
global $wpdb;
if($setting['view_id'] == 5673) {
if(isset($_GET['wpvalphabet']) and $_GET['wpvalphabet']!='' ){
$first_char = $_GET['wpvalphabet'];
if($first_char=='0-9'){
$postids = $wpdb->get_col($wpdb->prepare("SELECT ID
FROM $wpdb->posts
WHERE $wpdb->posts.post_title REGEXP '^[0-9]'
AND post_type = '".$query['post_type'][0]."'
AND post_status = 'publish'
ORDER BY $wpdb->posts.post_title"));
}
else{
$postids = $wpdb->get_col($wpdb->prepare("SELECT ID
FROM $wpdb->posts
WHERE SUBSTR($wpdb->posts.post_title,1,1) = %s
AND post_type = '".$query['post_type'][0]."'
AND post_status = 'publish'
ORDER BY $wpdb->posts.post_title",$first_char));
}
$query['post__in'] = $postids;
}
}
return $query;
}
Can you please confirm it works as expected now.
