a question on taxonomy

  • Hi,

    I am very new to taxonomy ..just read on this and have some idea on this

    what i want to know is how to filter posts to be shown on that taxonomy page

    For ex i have a taxonomy actor and i have assigned tom cruise to it

    i am ok with showing posts which has the same tom cruise term … but i want to filter posts according to category as well

    i mean i need to show posts which are from category “gallery” and has term tom cruise in it

    any ideas ? pls tell me thinking me as a noob ….

    Thanks in advance

    with regards
    sribharath

    no one ?

    use query_posts('gallery=tom');

    I believe that you will need to use a filter to add the custom taxonomy to the query. AFAIK, WP does not currently allow both a category and custom taxonomy term in the query args.

    function mam_posts_join ($join) {
   global $mam_global_join;
   if ($mam_global_join) $join .= " $mam_global_join";
   return $join;
}

$mam_global_join = "JOIN $wpdb->term_relationships tr
   ON (tr.object_id = $wpdb->posts.ID)
   JOIN $wpdb->term_taxonomy tt
      ON (tt.term_taxonomy_id = tr.term_taxonomy_id
         AND tt.taxonomy = 'actor')
   JOIN $wpdb->terms t
      ON (tt.term_id = t.term_id AND t.name = 'Tom Cruise')";
query_posts('category_name=gallery');

    Of course, you will probably need to add other parameters to your query_posts such as for pagination.

    try this once query_posts('gallery_name=tom');
