This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a View of Taxonomy terms. In the loop of that View, I have a nested View of posts. I would like to access the archive URL of the current taxonomy term inside the loop of the View of posts, so I can build a link back to the term archive page.
Solution: Use a View attribute to pass the current archive term URL into the nested View of posts, then use the wpv-attribute shortcode to access that attribute.
Nested View shortcode in the taxonomy View's loop:
[wpv-view name="chapters-within-each-chapter" classpart="[wpv-taxonomy-url]"]
Access the URL inside the nested View's loop:
<a href="[wpv-attribute name='classpart']#[wpv-post-slug]">...</a>

Hi there, this is for Christian Cox, please! 😀
Hi Christian, I'm opening a ticket based on https://toolset.com/forums/topic/only-call-one-taxonomy-term-for-use-in-a-view-when-a-post-has-several/ to see if you can help me. I know you work today and Waqar doesn't, and I wanted to specifically request your help anyway.
The code Waqar gave me didn't work for me. I added it as a Custom code snippet in my Toolset settings. I wasn't sure whether to also register this as a third-party shortcode, but, trying it both ways, it didn't work. I added the shortcode to my view inside the link (see screenshot - you can see how the link shows up in the URL preview in the left-hand corner) and also outside the link just to view the results. It just prints the shortcode, it doesn't return any URL.
Do you think you can help me write something that will return the single URL?
ALSO - I need to be able to specify WHICH URL. The first one isn't necessarily the one I need to call. We can maybe use the [get-current-slug] shortcode to specify which of the taxonomy terms to link to... or some other way to identify which URL to use. Speaking in plain English, I need to call the class part that is part of the class the user is currently looking at.
I'm not sure what the smartest way to do this is. I just know I need to do using logic instead of manually separating out these classes, because I tried duplicating all the chapters to create totally separate classes, and it's not feasible. I will end up with 3x and 4x duplicate content because these chapters are re-used in several classes, and it results in several hundred added chapters.
Thank you so much for your help. This is my last step in finishing my membership site and launching it to my clients.
Thank you,
Liat
