Custom Post Type Taxonomy Display

  • I need to display the categories for my custom post type in the Dashboard.

    I have this code:

    function business_edit_columns($business_columns) {
		$new_columns['cb'] = '<input type="checkbox" />';

		$new_columns['title'] = _x('Business Name', 'column name');
		$new_columns['author'] = __('Author');

		$new_columns['categories'] = __('Categories');

		$new_columns['date'] = _x('Date', 'column name');

		return $new_columns;
	}

    And the categories are displaying “Uncategorized” instead of the custom taxonomy that is associated with the business listing. I think I’m in need of another function to tell WP what I’m after (since it’s a custom taxonomy, not a standard one)

    I had thought something like:

    function business_columns_display($business_columns){
	switch ($business_columns)
	{
		case "categories":
			get_the_terms($post->ID, 'bz_categories',);
			break;
	}
}

    Might be the answer, but since I’m not in the loop, that doesn’t work.

    Thanks!

    This worked for me like a charm. The “specs_whatever” are the names of my custom taxonomies.

    hi ssjaime.
    try this code its workin for me no problems at all.

    add_action( 'right_now_content_table_end' , 'ucc_right_now_content_table_end' );

function ucc_right_now_content_table_end() {
  $args = array(
    'public' => true ,
    '_builtin' => false
  );
  $output = 'object';
  $operator = 'and';

  $tag_types = get_taxonomies( $args , $output , $operator );

  foreach( $tag_types as $tag_type ) {

	  $terms = get_terms($tag_type->name);
 		$num = count($terms);

  //  $num_posts = wp_count_posts( $tag_type->name );
  //  $num = number_format_i18n( $num_posts->publish );
    $text = _n( $tag_type->labels->singular_name, $tag_type->labels->name , intval( $num_posts->publish ) );
    if ( current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) ) {
      $num = "<a href='edit-tags.php?taxonomy=$tag_type->name'>$num</a>";
      $text = "<a href='edit-tags.php?taxonomy=$tag_type->name'>$text</a>";
    }
    echo '<tr><td class="first b b-' . $tag_type->name . '">' . $num . '</td>';
    echo '<td class="t ' . $tag_type->name . '">' . $text . '</td></tr>';
  }

}

    And if you want to show custom post types also past this code also with the previous one in you function.php

    add_action( 'right_now_content_table_end' , 'ucc_right_now_content_table_end2' );

function ucc_right_now_content_table_end2() {
  $args = array(
    'public' => true ,
    '_builtin' => false
  );
  $output = 'object';
  $operator = 'and';

  $post_types = get_post_types( $args , $output , $operator );

  foreach( $post_types as $post_type ) {
    $num_posts = wp_count_posts( $post_type->name );
    $num = number_format_i18n( $num_posts->publish );
    $text = _n( $post_type->labels->singular_name, $post_type->labels->name , intval( $num_posts->publish ) );
    if ( current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) ) {
      $num = "<a href='edit.php?post_type=$post_type->name'>$num</a>";
      $text = "<a href='edit.php?post_type=$post_type->name'>$text</a>";
    }
    echo '<tr><td class="first b b-' . $post_type->name . '">' . $num . '</td>';
    echo '<td class="t ' . $post_type->name . '">' . $text . '</td></tr>';
  }

}

    Excellent, thanks shafraz!
