Display ONE taxonomy and its assigned pages

Question

Quite a straight-forward question but I haven't been able to find a solution. I have created a page which lists categories within a taxonomy called 'Themes'. I now want each link in the list to point towards an index page which displays all of the pages for that particular category.

The way I see it, it's a bit like a search results page, because I only want to create one template page for the results, but the results will vary depending on what Taxonomy category is clicked.

E.g. This is what I want to happen:

The post-type is called Events.

Within Events there is a taxonomy called Themes.

Themes has a number of categories such as Boat, Fishing, Walking, Eating etc.

On one of the pages, user clicks on the Boat category listed.

User is then taken to a page which displays all of my post-type pages within the Boat category under the Themes taxonomy.

Hope this is clear, if you need any clarification just let me know.

Thank you

It is actually quiet easy using WP page template and taxonomy templates (Why do you want to display all results on one page? I think it is better when you URLs will have some logical structure).

You can create new page template and use wp_list_categories function:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Taxonomy Terms
*/

get_header();

?>
<div id="primary">
    <div role="main" id="content">
<?php

        wp_list_categories( 'title_li=Themes&taxonomy=theme' );

?>
    </div>
</div>
<?php

get_footer(); 

This will outpout the list of all the terms (categories) for your custom taxonomy "theme".

Additionally you can use WordPress templates hierarchy to modify the display of others template. e.x. taxonomy-theme.php
