taxonomy archive

Hi
I have 3 taxonomies on a Custom Post Type.
I want to have a filter on the 3 the term archive pages, which you can use to filter by the other 2 taxonomies.

EG
You select a term from the Region Taxonomy: UK.
Term UK Archive page, has a S&F form that filters by “Type” and “Goal”. Below this are the listings of the UK archive page.
So when you filter you would then see for example results of Region:uk, Type:image and Goal:07

I can’t seem to get this working with any combination of settings.
If I can get it to show the correct results on my initial Term Archive page, it then shows no results from filtering.
Sometimes I get it showing ALL the CPT content on the Term Archive page but the filters then DO work as they should (with correct counts and correct results from filtering).

I can not set a ‘results’ page as I have put the form in the code so it will appear on each term archive page.

Will this work as a Post Type Archive display results search, with auto detect for taxonomies on General Settings and also Enable filtering on Taxonomy Archives on the Display Results tab?

Tried that.
I get “no results” on the initial taxonomy term page with the form on.
eg. on Region: UK, shows the form but no default results.

The form pulldowns actually have counts in the ‘number of posts’, however pulling them down doesn’t give any results.

But also have found that if I have more than one form set to Post Type Archive, i get a warning that I can only have one form per Post Type, and I need 3.

Using a Private reply, can you send me admin logins for the site? I will see if I ca figure this ut for you. Also, if you can give me the page urls of the pages where you need searches to be?

Hi, thanks for reply.
I was having trouble making a new user to test which made me think maybe something was up with my install, so have installed again, and it seems to be working on the settings you suggested.
I still get the message:

Error: There are 3 Search Forms set to use Post Type Archive display mode for the post type Tools - you may only have 1

But it seems to work anyway 😉

Why do you need the three forms? What is different about them?

Client wants to have 3 entry points, so

Region: UK (and same for all regions), page has a form with ‘filter by TOOL TYPE and GOAL’.
Goal: 17 page has a form with ‘filter by REGION and TOOL TYPE’
Tool Type: image with form ‘filter by REGION and GOAL’

Initial pages will be different, eg A page with a map takes you to the single Region pages.

and yes we did suggest just having one page 😉

You might have just one form with all the fields on, then use Custom CSS (maybe each page has some identifier in the body tags) to hide the fields you don’t want to show?

As Post Type Archive forms, they would all go to the same age if the page re-directs anyway.

They are using Ajax currently.
Not sure this would work as they are on taxonomy term archive pages and need to pick up the current archive term in combination with the form selections.

The auto detect options/system *should* do this (maybe?).
