Hey Jonathan,

Thanks for your reply. I have no problem with having to write a custom callback. I was just hoping it would be easier through the plugin itself.

I’ll see what I can accomplish on my end over the next day.

It’s a custom taxonomy called Locations.

Basically, I have a custom post type of team members (employees). Each is at a different location.

I have an exposed filter for my custom taxonomy of locations, which works fine, but I would like to group my listing of team members by their location.

I’m including my export of the query here:

$query = array (
  'name' => 'qw_employees',
  'slug' => 'qw_employees',
  'type' => 'widget',
  'path' => NULL,
  'data' => 
  array (
    'display' => 
    array (
      'title' => '',
      'style' => 'unformatted',
      'row_style' => 'fields',
      'post_settings' => 
      array (
        'size' => 'complete',
      ),
      'field_settings' => 
      array (
        'group_by_field' => '__none__',
        'fields' => 
        array (
          'meta_image' => 
          array (
            'type' => 'meta_image',
            'hook_key' => 'meta_image',
            'name' => 'meta_image',
            'weight' => '0',
            'meta_value_count' => '1',
            'meta_value_separator' => '',
            'display_handler' => 'acf_default',

    ),
  ),
);

The following link is where I’m displaying it.

On another note, I’d like to replace that search box with one that’d search the team members only through the query, say an exposed filter for the post title, but I don’t see the post title in the filter options.

I apologize if I’m actually posting feature requests here. I’ve done so much stuff with Drupal Views, that using this in WordPress is like a dream, but it seems it’s missing stuff. If this needs to be in it’s own thread, then we can move it there. This is a great plugin, btw.

yeah, that’s pretty much what I have. It appears I may not be able to do what I want to do, unless the developer chimes in. It also appears you wrote a custom function for your callback.

Thanks.

I would like to display a particular taxonomy as a field and group by that taxonomy. In Drupal, using views, this is a no-brainer. Seeing as how this is supposed to be similar to Drupal Views, I’m wondering how to do the same thing. What you’ve done appears to be similar to what I want to do, excepting the grouping.

What was your final solution? I need to grab the taxonomy and group by a specific taxonomy.
