Hi guys,

This is what I’m after:
https://skitch.com/whipd/dmcjw/portfolio-navigation.psd-100-group-2-rgb-8

Sorry, my programming skills aren’t that advanced. What would that do and would I use that along with the code that I previously mentioned?

I’m currently using this to successfully list the TypeOfProject terms

<?php
			//list terms in a given taxonomy using wp_list_categories  (also useful as a widget if using a PHP Code plugin)
			$orderby = 'name';
			$show_count = 0; // 1 for yes, 0 for no
			$pad_counts = 0; // 1 for yes, 0 for no
			$hierarchical = 1; // 1 for yes, 0 for no
			$taxonomy = 'typeofproject';
			$title = '';

			$args = array(
			  'orderby' => $orderby,
			  'show_count' => $show_count,
			  'pad_counts' => $pad_counts,
			  'hierarchical' => $hierarchical,
			  'taxonomy' => $taxonomy,
			  'title_li' => $title
			);
		?>
        <ul id="port_nav">
            <?php wp_list_categories($args); ?>
        </ul>

I just need to figure out how to display the relative posts under which ever one is active.

No No sorry, categories was a bad description.

Portfolio is a custom post type.

Type of Project is a taxonomy.

This is using new WordPress 3.0 features of Custom Post Types and custom taxonomies.

Hey guys,

I’d like this functionality but as the navigation in my sidebar. How would I go about doing that?

pikemurdy,

Is there a way you could show related posts under each term? In a tree-child-branch sort of way.

Thanks for the reply microkid.

The plugin is amazing in itself, so basically I’d just like to be able to use it with custom post types. If you saw me in that other thread I managed to ‘hack’ it to appear in a custom post type but it still searches for regular posts instead of the new post types.

So it would be great if:
1. If I had a Custom Post Type of ‘Portfolio‘. When I create a new portfolio post, I can choose a couple of related portfolio posts to accompany it. The ability to have the plugin ignore regular posts would be great, because in this instance they would not apply to what I’m using the plugin for.

2. Also, I can’t remember if it supports Post Thumbnails(‘Featured Images’) in the output of each related post? I managed to get a friend to hack the ability in but it would be great if it was built in or better documented.

Great fix. I could get Microkid’s Related Posts to now appear in my custom-post Portfolio edit page. However I need it to search for portfolio custom-post items instead of regular posts as well. Do you think that’s only another tweak as well?

Thanks qw3rt7! You’ve saved me a lot of time.

Yeah, thanks It’s the Microkids Related Posts https://www.microkid.net/wordpress/related-posts/

I had to add the_post() to everything, from the blog section to my portfolio section and even my front page (which is a Page). It all works now but I find it really odd that I had to do it in the first place (that is, after I upgraded to WP3)

Thanks MichaelH for the help but this turned out to be the solution:

No, sorry I need the subcategories archive pages to inherit the parent category’s archive template.

Maybe I should just do if else statements in the one archive.php?

(Plus I’m not sure if that plugin works alongside taxonomies)

Thanks, that’s a great resource but I was actually more asking about the technicalities of updating the site without just doing a complete re-upload and losing the new posts/tags/comments the client had added in the last few days.

Hey guys, I’m looking for something VERY similar to this.

I need the tags at the end of a post (single page) to ONLY link to a tag archive of posts that are also in the SAME parent category as that post.

Any Ideas?
