Block with double filtering (category AND custom taxonomies)

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 29

Hello!

I have a tricky question. I’d like to filter a Block with the latest posts by two different taxomies:

1 – The first filter already exists, by categories terms.

2 – The second filter would be by several custom taxonomies (not the terms).

The better example I have for this is IGN Portugal home page: http://pt.ign.com/

First row: Videos | Reviews | News (These would be the category terms).
Second row: Xbox | PS4 | Nintendo (These would be the whole custom taxonomies each).

I know it would be a complex job and out of support scope, but it would be possible to point me to the right direction at least? Like, which files should I look for.

Hello Fausto,

Unfortunately, the theme does not have any such an option that allows you to do this with block filtering, sorry! If you want to achieve this functionality, notice that you have to implement it yourself because does not seem to be a simple task and it involves doing such a custom work and we cannot provide this type of services at the moment, sorry! Another alternative for you would be to find such a plugin with has this functionality and try to see how it will work for you. Also, if you do not find something like this which helps you and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this case, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you!

Thanks for the message!

Hello Fausto,

You should start to check the td_data_source.php and td_config.php files to make this changing. Notice that is not a simple task which required to do more implementation through the code and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this case, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide this type of services at the moment, sorry!

Thanks for the message!
