[Plugin: Ultimate Taxonomy Manager] How do I show the fields?

k that didn’t format correctly.

I guess the simple version of my question – if I have a term ID / slug etc is there a way to simply get the value saved in the field for that specific term item?

I need direct function access, although it can be through something like do_shortcode() if need be.

Thanx in advance

Did you find a solution to this?

the shortcode for UTM is as follows, where TAXONOMYNAME is the name of the taxonomy, and TAXONOMYFIELD is the name of that taxonomy’s field, like so:

[xy_TAXONOMYNAME ]

This echoes all of the fields associated with that taxonomy.

[xy_TAXONOMYNAME field="TAXONOMYFIELD"]

This echoes the specific field you’re calling.

You can, of course, use “do_shortcode” to output this within a template:

$VARNAME = do_shortcode('[xy_TAXONOMYNAME field="TAXONOMYFIELD"]'); echo $VARNAME;

I’m also looking for a way to query these fields within a “foreach $terms as $term” loop…

Did you get the “foreach $terms as $term” loop working.

I’m trying to display an overview of my custom taxonomy with its fields that include name + archive link/ description and a custom field managed by this plugin. I can’t figure out how to display the custom field data in the third table column. Any help would be appreciated!

$args = array( 'taxonomy' => 'indicators' );

$terms = get_terms('indicators', $args);

$count = count($terms); $i=0;
if ($count > 0) {
    $cape_list = '<p class="indicators-archive">';
    foreach ($terms as $term) {
        $i++;
    	$term_list .= '<tr><td><a href="indicators/' . $term->slug . '" title="' . sprintf(__('View all post filed under %s', 'my_localization_domain'), $term->name) . '">' . $term->name . '</a></td><td>' .$term->description. '</td></tr>';
    }
    echo $term_list;
}

I can’t test it at the moment, but is it a syntax error? Try dropping a space between the two periods in the third table cell like so: . $term->description .

failing that, try print_r($terms); or print_r($args);to see exactly what information is within that array, that may shed some light on the issue.

Thanks for the reply xanderashwell.
The code I listed works as is, but I can’t figure out how to add into it a Taxonomy Manager Custom Field.

I was wondering whether you got an answer to this part of your original post:
“I’m also looking for a way to query these fields within a “foreach $terms as $term” loop… “
Since I believe that’s where I’m at.

I got this working in case you’re interested:

$args = array( 'taxonomy' => 'indicators' );

$terms = get_terms('indicators', $args);

$count = count($terms); $i=0;
if ($count > 0) {
    $cape_list = '<p class="indicators-archive">';
    foreach ($terms as $term) {
$opts = xydac_cloud(indicators,'', 'xo_basics');
$oxc = $opts[$term->slug]['xo_basics'];
        $i++;
    	$term_list .= '<tr><td><a href="indicators/' . $term->slug . '" title="' . sprintf(__('View all post filed under %s', 'my_localization_domain'), $term->name) . '">' . $term->name . '</a></td><td>' .$term->description. '</td><td>' .$oxc. '</td></tr>';
	}
    echo $term_list;
}
