Simple Question / How to order the created taxonomies ? Not the terms.

Yeah, it’s all based on the order in which they’re registered and thus saved to the option we save things to.

I know we have https://github.com/WebDevStudios/custom-post-type-ui/issues/546 open about this, but we haven’t done anything with it thus far.

You could make use of the import/export functionality to re-arrange the resulting option, if you’re willing to edit JSON data directly, but I can definitely understand some hesitation there too.

Thanks for the quick response! Could you be a bit more detailed about the import/export function, to reorder the taxonomies? OR maybe i am a bit mor detailed to ??

We bought a code “customization” from another Plugin team, to handle taxonomy metaboxes in the frontendupload. These are set the way the taxonomies are in the cpt ui backend.

So my idea was, to reorder the taxonomies and all is good.
Or is there a quick way for you to find a solution in this code?

<?php

if(!defined("ABSPATH")) die();
$taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies( 'wpdmpro' );
$taxonomies = array_diff($taxonomies, ['wpdmcategory', 'wpdmtag']);
foreach ($taxonomies as $taxonomy){
    $taxonomyObj = get_taxonomy($taxonomy);
    //wpdmprecho($taxonomyObj);
?>

<div class="card wpdmap-card-filter mb-3"  id="<?= $taxonomy ?>-section" <?php if (in_array($taxonomy, $hide)) { ?>style="display: none"<?php } ?>>
    <div class="card-header">
        <?= $taxonomyObj->label; ?>
    </div>
    <div class="card-header p-2 filter-header"><input placeholder="<?php echo __( "Search...", "download-manager" ) ?>" type="search" class="form-control form-control-sm bg-white input-sm" id="<?= $taxonomy ?>_src" /></div>
    <div class="card-body tag-card">
        <ul id="wpdm-<?= $taxonomy ?>" class="wpdm-taxonomy">
            <?php
            $term_list = wp_get_post_terms($post->ID, $taxonomy, array("fields" => "all"));
            $selectedterms = array();
            foreach ($term_list as $__term) {
                $selectedterms[] = $__term->term_id;
            }
            $terms = get_terms(['taxonomy' => $taxonomy, 'hide_empty' => false]);
            foreach($terms as $term){
                echo "<li class='wpdm-tag'><label><input type='checkbox' name='taxonomy[{$taxonomy}][]' ".checked(in_array($term->term_id, $selectedterms), true, false)." class='wpdmtag' value='{$term->term_id}'> <span class='tagname'>{$term->name}</span></label></li>";
            }

            ?>
        </ul>
    </div>
    <div class="card-footer">
        <div class="input-group">
            <input type="text" class="form-control" id="new_term_<?= $taxonomy ?>" />
            <div class="input-group-append">
                <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary btn-create-term-wpdm" data-taxonomy="<?= $taxonomy ?>"><i class="fa fa-plus-circle"></i></button>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
    <script>
        jQuery(function ($) {
            $("#<?= $taxonomy ?>_src").on("keyup", function() {
                var value = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
                $("#wpdm-<?= $taxonomy ?> li").filter(function() {
                    $(this).toggle($(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(value) > -1)
                });
            });

        });

            WPDM.blockUI('#'+tax+'-section');
            var term = $('#new_term_'+tax).val();
            $.get(wpdm_url.ajax, { action: 'wpdm_create_term', term: term, taxonomy: tax, __nonce: '<?= wp_create_nonce(NONCE_KEY); ?>'}, function (response){
                if(response.success === true)
                    $('#wpdm-'+tax).append(response.html);
                else
                    WPDM.bootAlert("<?= __( 'Error', 'download-manager' ); ?>", "<?= __( 'Failed to create term', 'download-manager' ); ?>", 400);
                WPDM.unblockUI('#'+tax+'-section');
            });
        });
    });

So, take an example for one of my personal sites.

https://gist.github.com/tw2113/4f93ba2e9983af53b5b301397206a564

First we have bookmark_topics for my first saved taxonomy. Then we have book_status. Topics gets registered first, followed by statuses.

If I wanted to manually force re-order things, I could change it to the following after import:

https://gist.github.com/tw2113/5a8de24111a38add93e12d3398ccdae5

Where book_status is now first, followed by bookmark_topics

It would re-save the option we have saved for taxonomies, with a new order for the taxonomies, thus changing the order in which they’re registered.

ok nice, where to export and import the date ? And are my posts still assigned after the process is done?

By all means, back up first, JUST IN CASE, but yes, the actual data should be unaffected as long as you’re not changing values in the JSON data. My example above is just changing the order in which they’re presently saved, changing the order in which they’re registered, by way of a standard foreach loop.

i defenitly will ?? Where to find the JSON Data to change the order ?

Tools menu item, Taxonomies tab at the top.

thanks allot, i′ll give a feedback tomorrow! If you owuld be so kind to delete my code posted here, that would be great. Have ag ood day!

I don’t have that ability, otherwise I would. At best, a forum moderator could.

i am very happy to say, that the import/export does work for me! Got the taxonomies in a new order after carefully editing the exported code via – tools – taxonomies – Export Taxonomies settings. Thanks allot!
