You can make the list dynamic, by registering a custom shortcode, that can get all the terms from a taxonomy, and then as needed, either return the comma-separated list of their IDs or titles.
For example:
add_shortcode('custom_taxonomy_items_list', 'custom_taxonomy_items_list_func');
function custom_taxonomy_items_list_func($atts) {
$return = $atts['return'];
$taxonomy = $atts['taxonomy'];
$output = array();
$terms = get_terms( array(
'taxonomy' => $taxonomy,
'hide_empty' => false,
) );
foreach( $terms as $term ) {
if($return == 'title') {
$output[] = $term->name;
}
elseif ($return == 'ID') {
$output[] = $term->term_id;
}
};
return implode(',', $output);
}
The above code snippet can be included through either Toolset's custom code feature ( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/ ) or through the active theme's "functions.php" file.
Note: Please also add "custom_taxonomy_items_list" in the "Third-party shortcode arguments" section, at WP Admin -> Toolset -> Settings -> Front-end Content.
This new shortcode accepts two attributes:
1. taxonomy: the slug of the taxonomy to get the terms from
2. return: can be 'ID' or 'title'
Example usage:
// get the comma-separated list of titles from the 'toolset-test-tax' taxonomy
[custom_taxonomy_items_list taxonomy="toolset-test-tax" return="title"]
// get the comma-separated list of IDs from the 'toolset-test-tax' taxonomy
[custom_taxonomy_items_list taxonomy="toolset-test-tax" return="ID"]
And, these shortcodes can then be used in the select field's shortcode in the view, like this:
[wpv-control-postmeta type="select" field="wpcf-toolset-select-test-tax" source="custom" url_param="wpv-wpcf-toolset-select-test-tax" values=",[custom_taxonomy_items_list taxonomy='toolset-test-tax' return='ID']" display_values="-selectzzz-,[custom_taxonomy_items_list taxonomy='toolset-test-tax' return='title']"]
This way, the static list of options, would become dynamic too.
