I already have managed to show the blogs with title (link) and description, using the last example on the Codex entry.:

/* List all blogs, source example 2: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_terms#Examples */
$args = array( 'taxonomy' => 'blog', 'orderby' => 'name', 'order' => 'ASC', 'fields' => 'all' );

$terms = get_terms('blog', $args);

$count = count($terms); $i=0;
if ($count > 0) {
    foreach ($terms as $term) {

        $i++;

        $term_list .= '<article class="blog-list"><p><a href="' . get_home_url() . '/blog/' . $term->slug . '/" title="' . sprintf(__('View all articles in %s Blog', 'wys'), $term->name) . '">' . $term->name . '</a></p><p>' . $term->description . '</p>';
        if ($count != $i) $term_list .= '</article>'; else $term_list .= '';
    }
    echo '<div class="my_term-archive">' . $term_list . '</div>';
}

The code I used to show the image on the blog taxonomy archive comes straight from Rilwis' website (all the way at the bottom).:

$queried_object = get_queried_object();
$term_id = $queried_object->term_id;

$meta = get_option('blog_image'); //meta_id
    if (empty($meta)) $meta = array();
    if (!is_array($meta)) $meta = (array) $meta;
        $meta = isset($meta[$term_id]) ? $meta[$term_id] : array(); //term_id
        $images = $meta['blogimg']; //field_id
            foreach ($images as $att) {
                // get image's source based on size, can be 'thumbnail', 'medium', 'large', 'full' or registed post thumbnails sizes
                $src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $att, 'thumbnail' );
                $src = $src[0];
                // show image
                echo '<figure class="thumb alignleft"><img src="' . $src . '" alt="image" /></figure>';
            }

echo '<div class="archive-meta">';

    $description = term_description();
    if ( $description ) { // Show Blog taxonomy term description
        echo $description;
    } //endif
    
    $meta = get_option('blog_image'); //meta_id
        if (empty($meta)) $meta = array();
        if (!is_array($meta)) $meta = (array) $meta;
            $meta = isset($meta[$term_id]) ? $meta[$term_id] : array(); //term_id
            $value = $meta['blog_authors']; //field_id
            echo '<p class="blog-authors">' . __( 'Author(s): ', 'wys' ) . $value . '</p>'; // if you want to show                  
    
echo '</div>';

The difficulty to do this on the homepage too is that I seem to have to combine two foreach calls and that is a little bit too complex territory for me.

How to show taxonomy meta on frontpage?

For a website I am developing I have come across the following challenge.

I have made a custom taxonomy "blog" (associated with both the Post-post_type and the User-object_type). With the taxonomy meta plugin I have added a meta field image. On the taxonomy archive page I output the taxonomy term name, description and this image.

On the front_page of this site I want to list all Blogs and I would like to do that in such a way that it again shows that taxonomy meta image.

I already have managed to show the blogs with title (link) and description, using the last example on the Codex entry.

The code I used to show the image on the blog taxonomy archive comes straight from Rilwis' website (all the way at the bottom). The difficulty to do this on the homepage too is that I seem to have to combine two foreach calls and that is a little bit too complex territory for me.

For whomever want to have a visualization, I have made available on my staging server the homepage and one of the blog archives.

Any tips and/or nudges in the right direction are appreciated!

Thanks
