WP: Displaying taxonomy terms by first letter? - GoFuckYourself.com

Tittytweaker · 08-28-2013, 03:47 PM

I'm looking for the best way to properly display all of the models for a given letter. So if, for example, someone is looking for "Asa Akira" they can click "A" on my site and search through all the models that start with "A".

I can't wrap my head around how that would be accomplished though. Each model on my site belongs to the "Model" taxonomy. How would I only display results from my Model taxonomy that start with "A" "B" "C" and so on?

Hello, maybe these can get you started.

Thanks, but I've already looked at the Wordpress codex and couldn't find anything specifically about dividing up an existing taxonomy the way I'm looking to.

Anyone else?

First result on google. If you go to my blog, click porn stars you can see it filter the taxonomy in real time.

Yes, I saw that when I was searching for solutions.

However, that displays all the taxonomy terms on one page.

I want to be able to show one letter at a time, and if at all possible, I'd like them to display in the same fashion as they would if I clicked on the taxonomy terms themselves, showing only as many results per page as I have set in the "reading" settings in the WP admin section.

I'm basically looking to achieve something similar to the model sections on this site: babesandstars.com

You click each letter, it shows a set amount per page, and an image with the name.

Hmm. I seem to be over complicating this for myself. Basically, I need to just change this chunk of code:

Code:

  <?php if(have_posts()) { ?>

                    

                    <h2 class="page-title"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a><?php wp_title(); ?></h2>

                    

                    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>                    

                

                    <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

                        

                        <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(array(180,240), array('alt' => get_the_title(), 'title' => '')); ?></a>

                        

                        <div class="link"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php short_title('...', '26'); ?></a></div>

                        

                        <span>Added: <?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></span>

                        

                        <span><?php



$model_list = get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'model', 'Model: ', ', ', '' );



// Output taxonomy information if there was any



if ( '' != $model_list ) {

echo $model_list;

} // endif



?></span>

This is what causes the pages to display the posts. Basically, I just need to change it so that it brings up each model instead of each post - snagging a picture with the same name as the term slug from a folder, and displaying the models name underneath. I can go through and work all the css after that.

I appreciate the assistance. It's tough, I know what I intend to do, I just don't know the proper terms to research to figure out how it's done.

Scratch the last post, I managed to fix that.

Still, I haven't found a way to display one letter at a time from the taxonomy.

Anyone know a solution to that?

You could try something like this:

Create a page template for each letter of the alphabet (e.g. a-page.php, b-page.php, etc...). The loop on each page would look something like this:

PHP Code:


			
<ul class="posts">

         <?php 

         global $wpdb; 

         $request = "a" [B]// could be any letter you want[/B]

         $results = $wpdb->get_results(

                "

                SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts

                WHERE post_title LIKE '$request%'

                AND post_type = 'post'

                AND post_status = 'publish'; 

                "

         ); 

         if ( $results ) 

         {

            foreach ( $results as $post ) 

            {

                setup_postdata ( $post ); 

                ?> 

                <li>

                    ... loop stuff here (the_title, the_permalink) ... 

                </li>

                <?php 

            }

         } 

         else 

         {

            ?> 

            <div class="alert">No models found for that letter. Please try again, or use the search at the top.</div>

            <?php

         }

         ?>

    </ul>

Then in your page manager, create a page for each letter and assign the corresponding page template to that page.
