[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.

Hi Dianne,

I created it in the background. However the principle is the same as with the parent view and from the video you can see that the only different between this view and the parent view is the filter that was added.

Thanks,
Shane

Level 1 Category.png
Level 3 Category - nothing showing.png
Level 2 Category Display.png

Where my issue is: Identifying how to navigate the different levels of the taxonomy. I keep creating new views without success. I have created about a dozen or so trying to get this to respond correctly. I am using three category levels Parent, Sub and Sub-sub or Grandparent-Level1, Parent-Level2, Child-Level3. At the "child" - level 3 are level 4 businesses. Because I can't figure out this heirarchy, I am not able to see how to make the businesses (level 4) viewable.

See the links:
GrandParent-Level1: hidden link
1) Want to add Count next to Category Title
Parent: hidden link
1) Notice that there is a space above Airports. Want to remove space.
2) Want to List Both Parent-Level 2 and Child-Level 3 with Counts for both Level 2 and Level 3
3) Level 2 - Parent may have children, so if clicked, All businesses need to be listed.
3) Level 3 - Child lists all children down the center of a page.

I cannot figure out to display the Levels. Images are below for Level 1, 2 & 3. Getting the 4th Level (businesses) display has taken more than a week.

Hi Dianne,

It seems we had a little misunderstanding. Our calls are done via Google Hangouts and we originate the request.

Will tomorrow Friday the 20th at 6 am be ok for you ? If yes i'll send the invite to the mail you have in this forum.

Thanks,
Shane

Oh Shane, I have been online waiting since 6 am....

Trying to fix my problem, I accidentally broke the archives connection to Referral List. I am in deep trouble.

Can we do this today? Right now. I am stuck....fully and amazingly overwhelmed while waiting to hear from you.

Shane,

Words cannot express my gratitude for showing me all you did today! Your skill and support is AMAZING and very much appreciated. I do have an URGENT fix...below.

Here is the issue is between View and Content Template :
1. The default display page is still showing between when you click from Level 3 to display Business page. The old default page flashes and it is ugly! I don't know if this occurs in View or Content Template.
2. IF I wanted to perform a short code in the the above wordpress URL, how would I know where to add this code? I want this type of shortcode encryption for Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4. This is security wisdom to hide the underlying paths.

Business Page Content Template
1. I am trying to add the referral website link to the button. I cannot figure out how to add the code into the button. When I just at the text it isn't clickable/linked. I have tried to add just this field in a variety of ways without success. Not sure what to do.

URGENT fix:
Referral List (Free) Sitemap (Level 3) - just stopped working correctly. Somehow I accidentally broke it. The code is here but there is no link to get to Businesses.

hidden link;" title="[wpv-taxonomy-title output='raw']">
<div class="listing-header-image">
[types termmeta='ad-category-image' title='%%TITLE%%' alt='%%ALT%%' align='center' size='full'][/types]
</div>
<h3 class="listing-header">[wpv-taxonomy-title] ([wpv-taxonomy-post-count])</h3>

Thank you so very much! Wishing you a GREAT weekend!
Dianne

Hi Dianne,

I went in when you sent that last message and resolved the issue with the Level 3 so it should be working now.

Too add a shortcode to a url it has to be in an anchor tag .

Example.

<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" title="[wpv-taxonomy-title output='raw']">My Text </a>

To add a link to a text functions the exact same as the above.

Also I'm not sure what you mean by the display page is still showing.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Shane

Thank you so much Shane.

I have a Parent Level "Charities" that I created a separate section for Charities using the same centralized Ad Categories. Each of the Charities is listed under the Charities Section. Now I need them to be populated and show up under Free Referral List Charities category as well.

Not sure if I am explaining this well. Currently Charities has its own menu tab. Charities are also included in the Free Referral List categories since they really are a free listing. Charities has it's own page layout which is slightly different than the Free Referral List.

Did I make a mistake creating a separate Charities section?
Should I recreate Charities under Free Referral List?
Or is there a way to display Charities within the Free Referral List even though they have their own section?

My apologies for this complexity. Hopefully this has is a simple that doesn't require rework.
