Hmm. Interesting…didn’t test this but:
<?php
$taxonomy = 'post_tag';
$title = 'Tag: ';
$args=array(
'orderby'=>'term_order',
'order'=>'ASC'
);
$terms = get_terms( $taxonomy, $args );
if ($terms) {
foreach($terms as $term) {
if ($term->count > 0) {
echo '<p>' . $title . '<a href="' . get_term_link( $term->term_id, $taxonomy ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $term->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $term->name.'</a> has ' . $term->count . ' post(s). </p> ';
}
}
}
?>
How do I display a list of posts all with the same tag
Actually rereading what you said makes no sense in that you can’t sort posts with the same Tag using term_order (basically because if you are only using one tag, there’s only one term_order assigned to that one tag).
But you can query posts for a given tag using the query_posts, tag__in argument.
Maybe I am not understanding what term_order is for. And I see now that it is used in more than one table. I’m talking about the one in wp_term_relationships.
For example, in this table you could have multiple posts (represented by object_id) tagged with taxonomy_term_id 3 and could these not be ordered 1,2,3,4,5,6, etc. using the term_order in that table?
Think of it like this: I want to make a list of top 10 news stories from 2005 in a specific order. I create the tag “Top 10 from 2005” and tag posts with that, but how do I ensure that I can display these posts in a certain order?
Hadn’t noticed that term_order in wp_term_relationships…here’s a trac ticket about it though: https://core.trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/ticket/9547 [edit] adding https://core.trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/ticket/5857
Since I’m not sure about that term_order, I’d consider using a custom field such as “post_order” (e.g. 01, 02, 03,… to 10). D
Didn’t test this, but assuming your tag is “2005top10”:
<?php
$args=array(
'tag__in' => array('2005top10'),
'meta_key'=>'post_order',
'orderby'=> 'meta_value',
'caller_get_posts'=>1
);
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<p><small><?php the_time('m.d.y') ?></small> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
<?php
$postorder = get_post_meta($my_query->post->ID, 'post_order', true);
echo 'post order: ' .$postorder;
endwhile;
}
?>
Thanks for all your help.
I thought of doing a custom field, but I want the ability for each post to belong to multiple tagged lists. (A post might be #5 on 2005top10 and #1 on 2005-stories-about-Animals).
It seems to me that this particular term_order is a place holder for that sort of functionality but there really doesn’t seem to be anyone who uses it yet.
