[Resolved] Sitemap – two levels. Parent level connecting to Sub-category Page with icons

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

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to have a nested view to list out their taxonomies and their child terms below each parent term

Solution:

You can use nested Views.
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/using-a-child-view-in-a-taxonomy-view-layout/

For example, if you have 3 layers of terms:
GrandParent
- Parent
-- Child

Each has several posts added to it, which you can display in a separate list, that you can reach starting on a Page where only "GrandParent" posts are shown and links to "Parent" and "Child".

To do that:
- create a View that queries your Taxonomy and set a filter as in:
"Select taxonomy terms whose parent is None."
- Add some post information to the loop, or any other data you want to display
- Add the View to any page and see in the front end only data about grand parent terms
- Now add a View which again queries the Taxonomy, this time has a Query filter as:
"Parent is the taxonomy selected by the parent Taxonomy View"
- Again complete the Loop with the information you want to display
- Now insert this View to the loop of the View you created first (and inserted to the page)
- Reload that page and see, that now you have a list of Grandparent Terms and a list of Parent Terms.
- Repeat these steps for the lowest "Child" terms and insert the View to the second created View.

This can be repeated for basically as many times you want.

It allows you to query the data depending on the currently looped content, and link to whatever related page/post/taxonomy term.

You would need to add there HTML and CSS yourself to group and style it like you show, but with the Toolset Views Loop Wizard you should already be able to cut a good part of that as well.

Tell us what you are trying to do?
Create a Sitemap with images associated with Parent categories following attached example. Click Parent to go to sub-category. From sub-category to sub-sub category - 3rd level for businesses.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
Not anything I have found
Is there a similar example that we can see?
The example provides a visual of Parent to sub-category. I will need these page to go to a secondary page listing each Sub-Category with icon visible listing all sub-sub-categories. Expecting more than 10,000 businesses.
What is the link to your site? hidden link

Being SO new to Toolset, I need a visual. When I opened the ticket, I was asked if I wanted a video example and I filled out my information. The requested video is for TODAY - Monday at 10 am...but I never received confirmation or response.

When you send an email, who is it from. I never received any response from last Friday's ticket. I waited and checked back today and saw that Beda did respond...but only in the ticket. How do I correct this?

#922452

Will I have the video call today that I requested last week? I requested another video call but the response wait time is 24 hours...

Can you explain whether I must keep Google Hangouts open?

Not without some help. Even though this is a non-coding needed tool...it requires skill to navigate all the moving parts and coding experience . I hired a consultant to help me create the Sitemap.

My experience is quite extensive in building websites since the late 90's. I started using Divi in 2006. So I am not a novice.

After a week using Toolset, I am becoming reacquainted with coding practices we used more than 15 years ago. I am far from proficient.

Video's help me more than anything. A video allows me to go at my own pace while comprehending all the different ways Toolset works together. Thankfully there are consultants who can help. But I learn through repetition.

Do you have a video available for building the site map? I sent the documentation to the consultant who then designed this for me.

Shawn,

For a few days now, I have been trying to recreate all you did on these two videos. Still have a question.

When and how did you create List Child Terms View?

This is where I am stuck. How did you create this view?
