[TAXONOMIES anyone???] Help creating a new taxonomy

  • Hello folks,

    I’ve already posted here, but I just couldn’t edit post title.
    You can find more explanation on my needs here:
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/277160?replies=1#post-1094000

    In fact, I’ve just heard about the Taxonomies things, and I think it’s really what I need … but didn’t find any plugin using those, or allowing us to create ones.

    Can someone give, share or starts helping for a simple code to allow us adding a new Taxonomy in dashboard?
    It would greatly help everyone stucks with the limited categories/tags for a rich blog.

    For me, I need for example to “tag” my posts with the subjects they’re about, post them into their right “categories”, but also “label” them with the language (or the languages) they’re written in, and also “label” them if yes or no, they’re “pro” articles, or just general/private ones.

    For other people, just imagine a photoblog, categories would be for the multiple “competitions” or “events”, “tags” would be for subjects on the photos … but how to “label” the country? … An extra taxonomy would help, and examples of use are unlimited.

    Thank you very much for any help.

  • lol,,,
    if you wanna do this, find some plugins…
    or try great taxonomies based Drupal, you’ll find every in it is for your need…

    you can try with ‘Yoast Simple Taxonomies’ plugin though I think I requires much more development. It can still be useful to you.

    Hello,

    Sorry for late answer.

    Ceson: Thank you for suggest, as for plugin’s, my bad is none seems helpin’ me, and as for Drupal, maybe I’ll give it a try, not sure who’s simple between Drupal and WordPress, but I’ll try managin’ WordPress for now, thank you anyway ??

    bekar09: Thank you ?? … this is exactly what I was searchin’ for, this plugin’ is really simple to understand, and highly customizable, I learnt a lot from it … now, I heavily modded it to suit my needs.
    I just need a function to automatically add “language” flags on top of posts (the flags, not the “name” of language which is easily doable).

    greenshady: Thank you very much, even if this plugin’ doesn’t suit me (non-hierarchical taxonomies), I learnt a little from it, to correctly register my “top” taxonomies (“Audience” and “Languages”).

    So, just for people who need a hint on that, here are my ways of work:
    – Looked for “register_taxonomy” in the recent WP2.8
    – Registered two hierarchical taxonomies (languages & audience), and registered their “sub” taxonomies (a list of languages, and private/pro for audience).
    – With Mod-Rewrite, I had “nice” urls.
    – Changed permalinks for “Pages” to redirect to my Audience (we can also have a page as a container for our taxonomies, or event just have the same name in “slug” for page/taxonomy … the taxonomies have always priority on pages, it will show you a list of posts instead of the page).
    – Added a simple “text” widget, with flags redirecting to my language taxonomies.
    This is it.
    A temporary test/demo blog is here to see features at: https://Einho.co.cc

    I still miss two functionalities thought:
    1) Automatically add the “flags” of language on top of any post (just like Categories/Tags are added … but only the Flag image is displayed, not a full text).
    2) Crossover taxonomies … so, when someone hits any taxonomy, than another, this will be like the search filters “and” … for eg, I click “News” category, than “Adobe” tag, I don’t want to see every post tagged “Adobe”, but only those filled under “News” category.

    For the “1”, I know this can be done manually by adding some HTML in the head of the post. but any idea how to do this automatically?
    For “2”, I don’t have a clue.

    Ha ha, weird those taxonomies ^^°.

    Thank you everyone, I hope I helped even a little by giving a clue for those who want taxonomies as well.
    Sincerely.
