+1 for this for me as well

|It seems it is because I am using the ‘s’ to search as well tat it stops the custom field search. if i remove the ‘s’ => $kewords from the $args then it works but then obviously doesnt search the titels or content.

How can I have both together?

Hi osby here is the code I used:

$post_type = 'post_type_name';
$tax = 'taxonomy_name';
$tax_terms = get_terms($tax);
if ($tax_terms) {
  foreach ($tax_terms  as $tax_term) {
    $args=array(
      'post_type' => $post_type,
      "$tax" => $tax_term->slug,
      'post_status' => 'publish',
      'posts_per_page' => -1,
      'caller_get_posts'=> 1
    );

    $my_query = null;
    $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
    if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
      echo '<h3 class="divisions">'. $tax_term->name . '</h3>';
	  echo '<ul class="team-members">';
      while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
         <li>
         <h4 class="team-member"><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
         <?php if(has_post_thumbnail()) { ?>
        <span class="alignleft"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></span>
        <?php } the_content(); ?>
        </li>
        <?php
      endwhile;
	  echo '</ul>';
    }
    wp_reset_query();
  }
}

I hope this helps ??

I managed to do it using wp_query

I had the same thing as lupinehorror. As i have it running on latest site i just did the upgrade and it did upgrade me so there seems to be an error with the alert

any news on this? i would really like this as well

thanks for the link but unfortunately it is not quite what i was after.
i want to have a drop down of only years so 2006, 2008, 2009 etc for those years that have posts.

i may also want to have a drop down of months for that year as well that have posts.

just wanted to say thanks as i was having the same problem but could not find the answer then i stumbled on this page. worked perfectly!

thanks so much for your help i got it work ??
using this:

$triplistarray = array();
$tripparent = 2;
$args=array(
  'child_of' => $tripparent,
);
$gettrips = get_pages($args);
if (@count($gettrips)) {
  foreach($gettrips as $trip) {
	if ($trip->post_parent != $tripparent ) {
		 array_push($triplistarray,$trip->ID);
	}
  } // foreach($pages
} // if ($pages

the only problem i am having is getting the data from the post in this:

$triplistarray = array();
$tripparent = 2;
$args=array(
  'child_of' => $tripparent,
);
$gettrips = get_pages($args);
if (@count($gettrips)) {
  foreach($gettrips as $post) {
	$parentid=$trip->post_parent;
	if ($trip->ID !== $parentid ) {
		 array_push($triplistarray,$post->ID);
	}
  } // foreach($pages
} // if ($pages

i need to get the parent id as it goes through the loop and also the title to be used in the dropdown

essentially i am creating a custom write panel that has a dropdown in it with a list of the grandchildren pages that you helped me with before. the idea is that someone can submit a post in the report category and can then assign the report to a trip using the id into a custom field. the above code is being used to get the list of grandchildren from the top parent (the grandparent). however since this is now in the function file and inside a function it isn’t getting the post data such as the parent id and title.

here is all the code:

$new_meta_boxes =
array(
"triplist" => array(
"type" => "select",
"std" => "",
"name" => "asigntrip",
"title" => "Assign Trip",
"description" => "")
); 

function new_meta_boxes() {
	global $post, $new_meta_boxes;

$triplistarray = array();
$tripparent = 2;
$args=array(
  'child_of' => $tripparent,
);
$gettrips = get_pages($args);
if (@count($gettrips)) {
  foreach($gettrips as $post) {
	$parentid=$trip->post_parent;
	if ($trip->ID !== $parentid ) {
		 array_push($triplistarray,$post->ID);
	}
  } // foreach($pages
} // if ($pages

	foreach($new_meta_boxes as $meta_box) {

		echo'<input type="hidden" name="'.$meta_box['name'].'_noncename" id="'.$meta_box['name'].'_noncename" value="'.wp_create_nonce( plugin_basename(__FILE__) ).'" />';

		echo'<h2>'.$meta_box['title'].'</h2>';

		if( $meta_box['type'] == "text" ) { 

			$meta_box_value = get_post_meta($post->ID, $meta_box['name'].'_value', true);

			if($meta_box_value == "")
				$meta_box_value = $meta_box['std'];

			echo'<input type="text" name="'.$meta_box['name'].'_value" value="'.$meta_box_value.'" size="55" />';

		} elseif ( $meta_box['type'] == "select" ) {

			echo'<select name="'.$meta_box['name'].'_value">';
			echo'<option value="">select trip</option>';
			foreach ($triplistarray as $option) {

				if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, $meta_box['name'].'_value', true) == $option ) {
					$sel =  ' selected="selected"';
				} elseif ( $option == $meta_box['std'] ) {
					$sel = ' selected="selected"';
				}
				echo'<option value="'.$option.'"'. $sel .'>'. $post->post_title .'</option>';

			}

			echo'</select>';

		}

		echo'<p><label for="'.$meta_box['name'].'_value">'.$meta_box['description'].'</label></p>';
	}
}

function create_meta_box() {
global $theme_name;
if (function_exists('add_meta_box') ) {
add_meta_box( 'new-meta-
boxes', 'More Info', 'new_meta_boxes', 'post', 'normal', 'high' );
}
}

function save_postdata( $post_id ) {
global $post, $new_meta_boxes;
foreach($new_meta_boxes as $meta_box) {  

// Verify
if ( !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST[$meta_box['name'].'_noncename'], plugin_basename(__FILE__) )) {
return $post_id;
}  

if ( 'page' == $_POST['post_type'] ) {
if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_page', $post_id ))
return $post_id;
} else {
if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post_id ))
return $post_id;
}  

$data = $_POST[$meta_box['name'].'_value'];  

if(get_post_meta($post_id, $meta_box['name'].'_value') == "")
add_post_meta($post_id, $meta_box['name'].'_value', $data, true);
elseif($data != get_post_meta($post_id, $meta_box['name'].'_value', true))
update_post_meta($post_id, $meta_box['name'].'_value', $data);
elseif($data == "")
delete_post_meta($post_id, $meta_box['name'].'_value', get_post_meta($post_id, $meta_box['name'].'_value', true));
}
}

add_action('admin_menu', 'create_meta_box');
add_action('save_post', 'save_postdata');

i really appreciate your help

thanks for that you were right i managed to figure it out before you posted it.

ive got another problem though i tried using your code but it didnt fix it.
basically i cant get the data from the post so i cant get the parentid for example.
here is my code:

$triplistarray = array();
$tripparent = 2;
$args=array(
  'child_of' => $tripparent,
);
$gettrips = get_pages($args);
if (@count($gettrips)) {
  foreach($gettrips as $post) {
	$parentid=$trip->post_parent;
	if ($post->post_parent !== $parentid ) {
		 array_push($triplistarray,$post->ID);
	}
  } // foreach($pages
} // if ($pages

so at the moment the if ($post->post_parent !== $parentid ) { doesnt work

i tried your code replacing he cf1 with location and greece for the value but nothing was outputted. when you tested it did you try it with the grandchildren?

i have hit a problem with this, i want to be able to filter the results by using meta_key and meta_value but when i use the meta_value it does not work.

i have simply got `’meta_key’ => $key,
‘meta_value’ => $mvalue,`

which then using get capture the value but even if i hardcode them they don’t work.
i have a custom field called location and i have 1 page with the value Greece but if i use meta_value greece with meta_key location nothing is outputted am i doing something wrong?

ah it was because i still had:

‘post_type’ => ‘page’,

which obviously isnt needed any more

thanks for the help ??
