Custom taxonomy and query_posts

Thanks so much guys, works like a charm.

Hi guys,
I have survived a lot with taxonomy and terms. At last i found a solution at least. I have tried with everything, like witting custom query arguments, using that taxonomies and term fields and lot more other way. At last i found a solution but it is also like two pre-test before the main test. Here we go with the codes…
If you want to do the query with a post id, first retrieve the term ids array.
$term_ids = wp_get_object_terms( $post_id, $taxonomies );

Now we have our term ids array. Let retrieve the post ids associated with our terms.
$post_ids = get_objects_in_term( $term_ids, $taxonomies ) ;
Now we got all of the post ids array. So you should know the next step i think.

$query_args = array( 'post__in' => $post_ids, 'post_type' => $post_type, 'post_status' => $post_status ) ;
query_posts( $query_args ) ;
............................

I am not sure if it can help you, but this codes really works. You can do a single term query with the simple term and taxonomy arguments, but this method is for multiple terms query together.

@md. Shazzad Hossain:

You’re a lifesaver — been struggling to find a clear approach to retrieve custom posts based on multiple custom taxonomy terms for quite a while, and this is it.

One extra note: for this to work, term ids must have the additional argument set to return term IDs only i.e.

$args=array(‘fields’=>’ids’); $term_ids = wp_get_object_terms( $post_id, $taxonomy, $args);
$post_ids = get_objects_in_term( $term_ids, $taxonomy ) ;

Then it works like a charm.

Hi deb__j,
Thanks for the correction. I have missed that part. I have wrote a Post/Page Tabset plugin,my first plugin :). Hope you can take a look @ https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/postpage-content-anchor-tabset/.

Thanks.

Note that WP 3.1 will bring a great improvement for quering (multiple) custom taxonomies:

So don’t spend too much time on creating workarounds!

This still doesn’t work. To register the taxonomy I have…

add_action( 'init', 'build_taxonomies', 0 );

function build_taxonomies() {

register_taxonomy(
'HEshowdate',
'HEshow',

array(
'hierarchical' => true,
'label' => 'Date of Show',
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'heardeverywhere/showdate'),
'query_var' => true,
)
);
}

And to display the posts I have this but it still ignore the taxonomy.

<?php $loop = new WP_Query( array('post_type' => 'HEshow', 'heardeverywhere/showdate' => 'upcoming', 'orderby' => 'title', 'order' => 'asc', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ); ?>
<?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

<div class="HeardSidebarShows">

<h3 class="HeardSidebarShow"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

Ahhhh! Don’t use capital letters in your taxonomy name. After how long now I just discovered this today, they will work in every other way with capital letters, but not to display them, which is the most important part of all.
