Extending the Taxonomy List Widget

Hi Gamicord,

You can suggest your idea by following the link:
https://royaladdons.frill.co/b/6m4d5qm4/feature-ideas

We will take it into consideration and if it collects enough upvotes we will definitely add this functionality to our taxonomy list.

Kind regards,
George

Hello Sir,
I don’t mean to be insultive. But some things make simple sense, insomuch that you don’t even need the world to endorse it, before your common sense can tell you that it is the right thing to do.

Now, look at this situation— I have a lot of Parent Categories, Subcategories, and child/descendant Categories on my website.

When I tried to add the Taxonomy List to my Footer, it loaded all my Categories–Parent, Subcategory and descendant categories, so that the Footer spread into 3 Pages, and gave me an insanlely long list. See it here– https://prnt.sc/uZfIDncM-3Vl

Now, this list is 1 over 3 of the list. This means I have this list multiplied by 3. I guess by now, you can see how insanely long the list is?

But if there was a Filter, I will simply say “Show Parent Categoty Only“– and this will reduce the list to just 5 items.

With this Big limitation, I assure you that you don’t need upvote and approval from the World, before you implement this basic common sense thing.

Regards.

Hi, we can’t implement this feature right now, please post and vote for it here https://royaladdons.frill.co/b/6m4d5qm4/feature-ideas and if it will be enough demand for it we will do it.

Kind Regards,
Nick

I don’t know if you are not understanding me.

See, I’m not asking you to create something new. You already have something called “Taxonomy List Widget” — whose job is to list out Taxonomies.

And this your “Taxonomy List Widget” does its job very well.

All I am asking, is that you should extend its power– so that it can filter items according to certain built-in parameters, that it currently lacks.

Your Post Grid Widget has this filtering power- See it here– https://prnt.sc/WFh91XhNx8WX

And so do many other of your widgets have this filtering capability.

All I am saying and asking, is that you should “Add” this same power to your Taxonomy List Widget, so that it can have a little bit of Advanced Query Power. And I believe that this is not something we need an upvote for.

But for your awareness, I have dropped it here– https://royaladdons.frill.co/b/6m4d5qm4/feature-ideas/add-more-filters-and-query-parameters-to-extend-the-taxonomy-list-widget

While I have dropped it there, I wish that you will implement it, upvote or no upvote.

Regards.

Hi, please let me know exactly which options you want to have… “Add” this same power to your Taxonomy List Widget so that it can have a little bit of Advanced Query Power.”

Kind Regards,

I don’t want us to make this too complex. But I want us to start first with Parent, Subcategory and Children.

So the Query Filter will say, “Filter by“:

Taxonomy: Categories/Tags (User will select 1)

Include: Direct Children(Yes/No)

Show Child Descendant(Yes/No).

EXPLANATION
My Use Case is that I had a Parent Category that had 3 Subcategories. And these subcategories had children.

In the overall, I had 5 Parent Categories, and each Parent Category had 3 Subcategories. Then each of these subcategories had children nested inside them.

This brought all my Categories to 58 Categories. And your Taxonomy List widget listed out all 58 Categories– which was kind of a monstrosity on my Footer.

This is what necessitated the need for a Taxonomy Filter –which can go 3 steps deep, from parent, children and grandchildren.

LOGIC AND OPERATION
The Taxonomy selection will start with Parent. The next Filter is “INCLUDE” — and the option will be “Sub Categories”.

This will then be followed by a Filter that says “Show Children”. It’s a Yes or No operation.

Then, it will appear like a Menu and Submenu– where there’s Parent to SubCategory, then from Subcategory to Subcategory Child.

I guess by now you understand?

Regards.

Got it, we will implement this, we time around 10 days.

Kind Regards,
Nick
