Taxonomy image link help

Change both instances of echo $tax; to echo $taxname.

Caught that, changed it and it still isn’t quite functioning. Now instead of “…/people/person” I’m just getting “…/people//”. Thanks for the insight though.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Do you still have $taxname = $tax->slug; at the beginning of the loop? Your result suggests you don’t and therefore echo $taxname would obviously output nothing. If you don’t have it, use echo $tax->slug; instead.

Here is my current code that returns “../people//”:

<h3><b>Posted in:</b></h3>
<?php foreach((get_the_terms($post->ID, 'people')) as $tax)
	{
	$taxname =$tax->slug;
	echo "<a href=\"/people/";
	echo $taxname;
	echo "/\">";
	echo "<img src=\"/wp-content/themes/gtd1.0/images/";
	echo $taxname;
	echo ".jpg\" alt=\"$tax category image\" border=\"0\" /></a>\n";
	}
?><br />

Oops, double post. Damn.

…and triple.

Ok, try adding the following above your loop and let me know if it outputs anything:

<?php var_dump(get_the_terms($post->ID, 'people')); ?>

It should output a whole block of jibberish looking text.

Okay, found a big error on my part. I didn’t have the taxonomies registered in my test theme. Now, after registering the taxonomies in my function.php, nothing shows up where the code should execute.

Here the code output by the code you said to insert before the loop:

array(3) { [39]=> object(stdClass)#185 (10) { ["term_id"]=> string(2) "39" ["name"]=> string(16) "Anthony Gallegos" ["slug"]=> string(16) "anthony-gallegos" ["term_group"]=> string(1) "0" ["term_taxonomy_id"]=> string(4) "2031" ["taxonomy"]=> string(6) "people" ["description"]=> string(0) "" ["parent"]=> string(1) "0" ["count"]=> string(2) "61" ["object_id"]=> string(5) "11363" } [429]=> object(stdClass)#186 (10) { ["term_id"]=> string(3) "429" ["name"]=> string(11) "Arthur Gies" ["slug"]=> string(11) "arthur-gies" ["term_group"]=> string(1) "0" ["term_taxonomy_id"]=> string(4) "2030" ["taxonomy"]=> string(6) "people" ["description"]=> string(0) "" ["parent"]=> string(1) "0" ["count"]=> string(2) "41" ["object_id"]=> string(5) "11363" } [40]=> object(stdClass)#196 (10) { ["term_id"]=> string(2) "40" ["name"]=> string(16) "Matt Chandronait" ["slug"]=> string(16) "matt-chandronait" ["term_group"]=> string(1) "0" ["term_taxonomy_id"]=> string(4) "1973" ["taxonomy"]=> string(6) "people" ["description"]=> string(0) "" ["parent"]=> string(1) "0" ["count"]=> string(2) "48" ["object_id"]=> string(5) "11363" } }

Thanks for sticking with me on this. I appreciate the help!

If you get that block of text then the rest of your code should work so you can remove it now.

I did notice another mistake though. In the following line,

echo ".jpg\" alt=\"$tax category image\" border=\"0\" /></a>\n";

it should be ".$tax->name." instead of just $tax.

Thanks man! That last change totally made it functional! Really appreciate it!

You’re welcome.
