Custom Post Type: How to display all of same taxonomy?

Question

Isn't there a permalink structure that will essentially list out all categories of a certain post type?

function create_faqs_post_type() {
    register_post_type( 'faqs',
        array(
            'labels' => array(
                'name' => __( 'FAQs' ),
                'singular_name' => __( 'FAQ' )
            ),
        'public' => true,
        'menu_position' => 5,
        'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'the-faqs')
        )
    );
}
add_action( 'init', 'create_faqs_post_type' );

function create_faq_taxonomy() {
    register_taxonomy(
        'faqs_categories',
        'faqs',
        array(
            'hierarchical' => true,
            'label' => 'FAQs Categories',
            'query_var' => true
        )
    );
}
add_action( 'init', 'create_faq_taxonomy' );

This is the code I've using to register the custom post type faqs and then register a taxonomy for it.

Isn't there a permalink structure that will essentially automatically list out all faqs of a certain taxonomy? Or do I need to create a custom template and query it specifically?

Answer 1

@dcolumbus

You can do a permalink rewrite when you register the taxonomy using the following:

'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'faqcategories', 'with_front' => false ),

Then site.com/faqcategories should pull them and site.com/faqcategories/easy should get them for you for the 'easy' term.

If I'm understanding you correctly.

Answer 2

You can use something like this:

<?php
$catArgs = array(
        'taxonomy'=>'faqs_categories'
        // post_type isn't a valid argument, no matter how you use it.
        );
$categories = get_categories('taxonomy=faqs_categories&post_type=faqs'); ?>
<?php foreach ($categories as $category) : ?>
  <div class="faqs-cat"><?php echo $category->name; ?></div>
    <?php
    $postArgs = array(
        'orderby' => 'title',
        'order' => 'ASC',
        'post_type'=>'faqs',
        'cat'=>$category->cat_ID,
        'tax_query' => array(
                array(
                    'taxonomy' => 'faqs_categories'
                )
            )
        );
     query_posts($postArgs) ?>
    <ul>
         <?php while(have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
        <li><a><?php the_title() ?></a></li>
         <?php endwhile; ?>
    </ul>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query();

Edited but original source here. Good luck, I hope this helps.
