Displaying Taxonomy Terms not categories

Hey Hector

Love your plugin and all the hard work you do keeping up with support posts!

I’m integrating it on a site where I want to show popular custom post types with links to other terms in the taxonomy. For example, I have a “recipe” custom post type, with a taxonomy of “recipetypes” containing terms like “Drinks” and “Meals”
In the WPP listing I want to link to the term as well as display the title and thumbnail for a post.

I know you haven’t implemented the ability to display term links yet, so I hacked your code a little to make it work for me, and just thought I’d let you know what I did in case it’s very wrong!

I modified _get_post_cat($p, $instance)

There were only a couple of tweaks – you use get_the_terms() instead of get_the_category when dealing with a taxonomy, and the term title is called “name” not “cat_name”

So I added/changed this:

// Try and get parent category
$taxonomy=get_object_taxonomies(get_post($p->id));

if($taxonomy[0]=='category'){
	$cats = get_the_category($p->id);
}else{
	$cats = get_the_terms($p->id, $taxonomy[0]);
}

and this

if($taxonomy[0]=='category'){
	$category_name = $post_cat->cat_name;
}else{
	$category_name = $post_cat->name;
}

Which is probably awful code! But it works for me at the moment ??

Cheers

Lucas
