[Plugin: Query Multiple Taxonomies] Recognize Custom Taxonomies registered only to Custom Post Types

    Hi Scribu, and thanks so much for your work on this. I’ve really been struggling with a solution for a site I’m developing that needs complex drill down filtering. It’s a site that provides lesson plans to teachers helping to integrate the arts into education.

    The entire meat of the site is comprised primarily of 3 custom post types – lessons, howtos and workshops and a multitude of custom taxonomies representing subject matter of the above … ie art, academic, standard, grade etc.. I would love to use this code, but, I’m having a few issues that I hope you can help me out with:

    I tried to change the post type in the widget to one of my custom ones to have it recognize the taxonomies, and it did recognize all of them, but, the queries don’t work, so, I’m missing something.

    I’ve created a page and am using a custom template to call in all of the posts from my custom post type ( makeshift archive ), and would like to do the drill down in the sidebar of this page ( the lessons will be shown in grid form ) so initially when you go to lessons, it will be a complete paged archive, but, as you drill down it gets more specific and the grid shifts accordingly.

    I’m not even sure that this will work without some sort of redirect, or maybe that is what your multitax template is for and I just didn’t get it.

    Any help at all getting through this jungle of confusion would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!!

    Well, turns out the $_GET didn’t work, nor did several other options that seemed like they should, what did finally work was this-

    if ( get_query_var('post_type') === 'lesson' ) {
return 'lesson';

    yay!!

    Glad to hear you figured it out. ??

    Hi Scribu,
    I saw that you just released 1.2 for QMT, that’s great. I’m going to have to wait a bit before upgrading because I’ve made so many functions associated with the previous version, but, as soon as I have time to go through it all, I will be implementing. Right now, I’m working on using jstree with the widgets in the sidebar ( don’t know if you remember me going on about the length of terms associated with this site, but, it’s vast ).

    Everything is working great with it, although I did have to add
    <ul><li> . $before_title . $title . $after_title . </li></ul> to make it fully functional with the main header of the taxonomy list.

    I think I may try implementing jstree for the taxonomy term list selections in the backend as well – with your category checklist code … as soon as I can get this cookie issue worked out.

    When I implement the default cookie options with jstree, I lose the whole script for some reason.

    It could be a good idea to point people to jstree for use with QMT. I think they make an extremely powerful combination. I’m just using jstree at its minimum, but, man, there is some serious stuff that can be done between them. Even the checkbox array selection that I was reading about in the forum posts could easily be achieved.

    Anywho, if you care to take a look at how they look together, let me know … maybe you can tell me what’s going on with the cookie while you’re at it … heh.

    Over and out~

    jsTree looks promising, especially with it’s checkbox plugin.

    I can’t really tell you what’s going on with the cookie until I see some code ?? (should probably open a new thread for that, though).
