I need to use the same page for different taxonomies and terms. How can I retrieve the taxonomies and the terms from the URL and run the same page for those I that I want?
The query should be run through a URL since I am not using forms. When the user clicks on the link, a new page should be opened that is an archive of posts having custom post type, taxonomy and taxonomy terms specified in the URL.
This is the code that I have right now:
<? /*
* Template Name: Activities template
* Description: Template for activties like restaurants, pubs, etc.
*/
?>
<?php $options = get_option('mh_options'); ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php
if ( get_query_var('paged') ) {$paged = get_query_var('paged');}
if ( get_query_var('page') ) {$paged = get_query_var('page');}
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'activties',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'restaurants',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => 'italian'
),
'paged' => $paged
)
);
query_posts( $args ); ?>
<div class="wrapper clearfix">
<div class="main">
<div class="content <?php mh_content_class(); ?>">
<?php mh_before_page_content(); ?>
<?php dynamic_sidebar('pages-1'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<!-- <?php the_content(); ?> -->
<article <?php post_class(); ?>>
<div class="loop-wrap loop-layout2">
<div class="clearfix">
<div class="loop-thumb">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<?php if( get_field('business_logo') ): ?>
<?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_field('business_logo'), 'loop'); ?>
<img src="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" alt="<?php the_field('business_logo');?>" data-thumb="<?php echo $thumb[0]; ?>" />
<?php else: echo '<img src="' . get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/noimage_300x225.png' . '" alt="No Picture" />'; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</a>
</div>
<div class="loop-content">
<header>
<h3 class="loop-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
</header>
<?php if (get_field('business_description')): ?>
<?php $text_to_trim = get_field('business_description');
echo '<div class="mh-excerpt">'. davide_excerpt($text_to_trim) . '</div>' . "\n" ; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if (get_field('business_paying_desc')): ?>
<?php $text_to_trim = get_field('business_paying_desc');
echo '<div class="mh-excerpt">'. davide_excerpt($text_to_trim) . '</div>' . "\n" ; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</article>
<?php dynamic_sidebar('pages-2'); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<!-- <?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?> -->
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
<?php if (isset($options['comments_pages']) ? $options['comments_pages'] : false) : ?>
<section>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
</section>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div>
<?php mh_second_sb(); ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
EDIT
After a few days, I found the solution that I am going to post, however it has got an issue: I cannot see the list of the posts if a post has got multiple terms (more than 1 term basically) selected by the checkboxes when it is created or edited.
This is my taxonomy.php file
<?php
$post = $wp_query->post;
/*$catMerc = array('restaurants','pubs', 'the-pizzerias', 'bars', 'cafes', 'nightlife-clubs', 'shopping', 'the-coffeeshops');*/
$catMerc = array('the-restaurants', 'the-coffeeshops', 'the-pizzerias', 'shopping', 'nightlife-clubs', 'cafes', 'bars', 'pubs');
$termsObjects = wp_get_object_terms($post->ID, $catMerc);
//Assuming your post only has one category, if theres more it will return multiple objects in it's return array:
$currentCustomCat = $termsObjects[0]->slug;
$currentCatMerc = get_query_var('taxonomy');
//you can have 'name' instead of 'slug' if that helps too
$customcatarray = array('american-pubs-exclusive5', 'american-pubs-in-town', 'beer-houses-exclusive5', 'beer-houses-in-town', 'free-joints-exclusive5', 'free-joints-in-town', 'local-atmosphere-exclusive5', 'local-atmosphere-in-town', 'spanish-atmosphere-exclusive5', 'spanish-atmosphere-in-town', 'take-away-exclusive5', 'take-away-in-town', 'traditional-dutch-exclusive5', 'traditional-dutch-in-town', 'african-exclusive-5', 'african-in-town', 'argentinian-restaurants-exclusive5', 'argentinian-restaurants-in-town',' asian-restaurants-exclusive5', 'asian-restaurants-in-town', 'dutch-restaurants-exclusive5', 'dutch-restaurants-in-town', 'french-restaurants-exclusive5', 'french-restaurants-in-town', 'italian-restaurants-exclusive5', 'italian-restaurants-in-town', 'seafood-restaurants-exclusive5', 'seafood-restaurants-in-town', 'spanish-restaurants-exclusive5', 'spanish-restaurants-in-town', 'cocktail-bars-exclusive5', 'cocktail-bars-in-town', 'disco-bars-exclusive5', 'disco-bars-in-town', 'dutch-bars-exclusive5', 'dutch-bars-in-town', 'internet-cafes-exclusive5', 'internet-cafes-in-town', 'lounge-bars-exclusive5', 'lounge-bars-in-town', 'art-cafes-exclusive5', 'art-cafes-in-town', 'breakfast-lunch-exclusive5','breakfast-lunch-in-town', 'famous-cafes-exclusive5', 'famous-cafes-in-town', 'fashion-cafes-exclusive5', 'fashion-cafes-in-town', 'timeout-exclusive5', 'timeout-in-town', 'best-boutiques-exclusive5','best-boutiques-in-town', 'famous-brands-exclusive5', 'famous-brands-in-town', 'sportswear-exclusive5', 'sportswear-in-town', 'the-pizzerias-with-table-service-in-town', 'the-pizzerias-with-table-service-exclusive5', 'the-pizzerias-takeway-in-town', 'the-pizzerias-takeaway-exclusive5', 'the-coffeeshops-in-town', 'the-coffeeshops-exclusive5');
if (in_array($currentCatMerc, $catMerc) && in_array($currentCustomCat, $customcatarray) ) {include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/page_activities.php'); }
/*if( $currentCustomCat == "italian" || $currentCustomCat == "local-atmosphere"){
//It matched, do stuff here
{include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/single_activities.php'); }
}*/
else { /*include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/page.php'); */
$pagelink=get_page_link (get_page_by_title( 'Homepage' ));
header("Location: $pagelink",TRUE,301);
}
?>
And this is my page_activities.php file
<?php
if ( get_query_var('paged') ) {$paged = get_query_var('paged');}
if ( get_query_var('page') ) {$paged = get_query_var('page');}
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'activities',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => $currentCatMerc,
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => $currentCustomCat
),
'paged' => $paged,
'posts_per_page'=>'10',
)
);
$args2 = array(
'post_type' => 'activities',
'paged' => $paged
);
query_posts( $args ); ?>

Pls help me with this because I am really clueless. One good news is that if I check the array with print_r($termsObjects[0]); I can see properly the output.
I guess I should use a foreach somehow, but I don't know where to put my hands on.
Thank you to anyone who can help me with this.
Regards
