Example
A basic example would be to loop through the terms in a tags taxonomy and link to each individual tag:
<ul>
{{ taxonomy from="tags" }}
<li><a href="{{ url }}">{{ title }}</a></li>
{{ /taxonomy }}
</ul>
You can also use the shorthand syntax for this. We prefer this style ourselves.
<ul>
{{ taxonomy:tags }}
<li><a href="{{ url }}">{{ title }}</a></li>
{{ /taxonomy:tags }}
</ul>
If you'd like to fetch tags from multiple taxonomies, you'll need to use the standard syntax.
{{ taxonomy from="tags|categories" }}
To get terms from all taxonomies, use the wildcard *
. You may also exclude taxonomies when doing this.
{{ taxonomy from="*" not_from="tags" }}
Entries
The taxonomy
tag allows you to iterate over taxonomy terms, but in each iteration, you also have access to all the corresponding content.
{{ taxonomy:categories }}
<h2>{{ title }}</h2>
<ul>
{{ entries }}
<li><a href="{{ url }}">{{ title }}</a></li>
{{ /entries }}
</ul>
{{ /taxonomy:categories }}
<h2>News</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="/blog/breaking">A breaking story!</a></li>
<li><a href="/blog/so-interesting">An interesting article</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>Events</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="/events/walk-in-the-park">A walk in the park</a></li>
<li><a href="/events/summer-camp">Summer camp</a></li>
</ul>
You're free to use filtering or sorting parameters on the entries
pair that you'd find on the collection tag.
To use the
entries
tag, the Taxonomy must already be attached to the Collection.
Filtering
There are a couple of ways to filter your taxonomy terms. There's the conditions syntax for filtering by fields, or the custom filter class if you need extra control.
Conditions
Want to get entries where the title has the words "awesome" and "thing", and "joe" is the author? You can write it how you'd say it:
{{ taxonomy:tags title:contains="awesome" title:contains="thing" author:is="joe" }}
There are a bunch of conditions available to you, like :is
, :isnt
, :contains
, :starts_with
, and :is_before
. There are many more than that. In fact, there's a whole page dedicated to conditions - check them out.
Custom Query Scopes
Doing something custom or complicated? You can create query scopes to narrow down those results.
Parameters
taxonomy
The taxonomy to use. This is not actually a parameter, but part of the tag itself. For example, {{ taxonomy:categories }}
taxonomy|is|use|from|folder
When using the verbose syntax, this is how you specify which taxonomy to use.
min_count
The minimum number of entries a taxonomy term must have to show up in the list.
collection
Filter the listing by terms that only appear in the specified collection. You may pipe-separate multiple collections.
sort
Sort terms by a field. By default it will be sorted by the title. Also available is entries_count:desc
if you wanted to sort by the most popular terms.
filter
Filter the listing by either a custom class or using a special syntax, both of which are outlined in more detail within the Filtering section.
Variables
Variable | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
first |
boolean |
If this is the first item in the loop. |
last |
boolean |
If this is the last item in the loop. |
count |
integer |
The number of current iteration in the loop. |
index |
integer |
The zero-based count of the current iteration in the loop. |
total_results |
integer |
The number of results in the loop. |
entries_count |
integer |
The number of entries taxonomized by this term. |
taxonomy data |
mixed |
Each taxonomy being iterated has access to all the variables inside that taxonomy. This includes things like |
entries |
query builder |
If you use this as a tag pair, you can loop through entries associated with the term. See entries above. |
