Abstract
BS_List_Taxonomies is the quickest, most effective way to display the options of your custom taxonomies, displaying the options in a list identical to the one generated by WP_List_Pages. Not only does it work quickly and easily, it also works with your existing stylesheets ASAP.
Options
$taxonomy: Required. String. This is the name of the taxonomy you want to list. (Future support: ID)
$args: title_li: Optional. String. Default is the taxonomy name.
echo: Optional. Boolean. Default is True.
link_before: Optional. String. Text before the link
link_after: Optional. String. Text after the link
tack_on: Optional. Boolean. Use this if you want to add a ‘filtering’ feature, it will tack on the data after the current URL. Taxonomy rewrite must be false for this to work.
no_value: Optional. String. Define as null if you do not want, this is a value that, when clicked, removes the taxonomy filter from the URL
no_value_link: Optional. String. Link that no_value takes you back to if there are no more taxonomy filters.
Example
Try this:
<?php BS_List_Taxonomies(‘Sizes’,'title_li=Choose One&link_before=”»”&no_value=No Preference’); ?>
This will show this:
Choose One
> SizeA
> SizeB
> SizeC
Warnings
Though powerful, BLT is not perfect, and is still in version 0.9.
- Your taxonomies must not be hierarchichal
- Your taxonomies must not be “URL rewritten”
- BLT only works on custom taxonomies and not tag
