Custom Taxonomy not showing in Blog view

OlalaWeb — Fri, 04 Jul 2014 08:33:33 +0000

Hi,

I have a CPT with a Custom Taxonomy and I see that the Taxonomy is not diplayed in archives.

Meta are displayed as : ‘DATE by AUTHOR NAME’ but the custom tax (named ‘categories’) are not displayed.

How can I include Custom Tax in this meta data ?

Thank you for your support

Hey,

You will have to override the function “ishyoboy_get_post_details” in your child-theme or create a separate one for your custom post type and then use it in your template.

The following code needs to be changed:

<?php if ( has_category() ) : ?>
	<span><?php _e( 'in category', 'ishyoboy'); ?></span> <?php the_category(', '); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

if ( has_category() ) : ?>

_e( 'in category', 'ishyoboy'); ?> the_category(', '); ?>

endif; ?>

As you can see this uses the default category taxonomy. You can change it to get the details about your custom one.

Cheers

Hey,

It’s very easy, just copy paste it into the child-theme functions.php and change it’s content :)

The function is located in this file in the parent theme:

wp-content\themes\boldial\assets\functions\theme-plugin-functions.php

Ok thanks, but I’ve done that and actually, it overwrites for the Blog view.

But I think the_category() doesn’t work with CPT.

I’ll try to write a working custom function and I let you know

Thank you

Hey,

If you use override the function which keeps it for all post types, you will need to do some tests using “get_post_type” and based on that decide whether to use the_category or alternative code for the custom taxonomy based on the post type.

We therefore recommend an alternative custom function which you can then use to replace the original one in the overview and single CPT templates.

I hope it’s clear. If not, you know where to find us :)

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. Here’s my custom function :

function add_tax_to_cpt() {
	global $post;
	if ($post->post_type == 'my-cpt') {
		return '<span>'. _e( 'in category', 'ishyoboy') .'TEST</span>'. the_category(", ");
	}
}
add_filter('ishyoboy_get_post_details', 'add_tax_to_cpt')

function add_tax_to_cpt() {

global $post;

if ($post->post_type == 'my-cpt') {

return ''. _e( 'in category', 'ishyoboy') .'TEST'. the_category(", ");

}

add_filter('ishyoboy_get_post_details', 'add_tax_to_cpt')

BUT IT IS NOT WORKING.

The word Test is not showing so it means that your function ishyoboy_get_post_details is not overrided.

Can you tell me what’s wrong with the function ?

Hey Matt,

You are trying to register a filter ishyoboy_get_post_details but there is no such filter.

Try using the function:

function add_tax_to_cpt() {
	global $post;
	if ($post->post_type == 'my-cpt') {
		return '<span>'. _e( 'in category', 'ishyoboy') .'TEST</span>'. the_category(", ");
	}
}

function add_tax_to_cpt() {

global $post;

if ($post->post_type == 'my-cpt') {

return ''. _e( 'in category', 'ishyoboy') .'TEST'. the_category(", ");

}

Now open the templates for the detail of your CPT and replace the used function:

with:

This will however not output any other info. so rather copy the original function:

function ishyoboy_get_post_details(){
	$return = '';

	global $post, $authordata;
	if ( !is_object( $authordata ) ){
		if ( isset( $post->post_author ) ){
			$authordata = get_userdata( $post->post_author );
		}
	}

	ob_start(); ?>
	<span class="ish-blog-post-details">
				<a href="<?php echo get_day_link( get_post_time('Y'), get_post_time('m'), get_post_time('j') ); ?>"><?php the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ) ); ?></a>
		<?php if ( is_object( $authordata ) ) : ?>
			<span><?php _e( 'by', 'ishyoboy'); ?></span> <?php echo the_author_posts_link(); ?>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<?php if ( has_category() ) : ?>
			<span><?php _e( 'in category', 'ishyoboy'); ?></span> <?php the_category(', '); ?>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<?php if ( has_tag() ) : ?>
			<span><?php _e( 'tagged as', 'ishyoboy'); ?></span> <?php the_tags('', ', '); ?>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<?php if ( is_single() ) : ?>
			<?php _e( 'with', 'ishyoboy'); ?> <a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>"><i class="ish-icon-chat"></i><?php comments_number('0', '1', '%'); ?></a>
			<?php _e( 'and', 'ishyoboy'); ?> <?php ishyoboy_the_likes( false ); ?>
		<?php endif; ?>

	</span>
	<?php
	$return .= ob_get_contents();
	ob_end_clean();

	return $return;
}

function ishyoboy_get_post_details(){

$return = '';

global $post, $authordata;

if ( !is_object( $authordata ) ){

if ( isset( $post->post_author ) ){

$authordata = get_userdata( $post->post_author );

}

ob_start(); ?>

<a href=" echo get_day_link( get_post_time('Y'), get_post_time('m'), get_post_time('j') ); ?>"> the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ) ); ?></a>

if ( is_object( $authordata ) ) : ?>

_e( 'by', 'ishyoboy'); ?> echo the_author_posts_link(); ?>

endif; ?>

if ( has_category() ) : ?>

_e( 'in category', 'ishyoboy'); ?> the_category(', '); ?>

endif; ?>

if ( has_tag() ) : ?>

_e( 'tagged as', 'ishyoboy'); ?> the_tags('', ', '); ?>

endif; ?>

if ( is_single() ) : ?>

_e( 'with', 'ishyoboy'); ?> <a href=" comments_link(); ?>"> comments_number('0', '1', '%'); ?></a>

_e( 'and', 'ishyoboy'); ?> ishyoboy_the_likes( false ); ?>

endif; ?>

<?php

$return .= ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();

return $return;

}

And either rename it and change the content. Or just add some “if” checks for post type and based on that decide whether to use the_category or the custom taxonomy.

Hope it’s clear.

Hi,

Thank you for your support.

I was looking for this function actually.

I’ll try to customize it and let you know if I need more help on this issue.

Regards
