Add Taxonomy Support #2

Closed ronalfy closed 9 years ago

ronalfy commented 9 years ago

I'm not sure if this is a good idea as there can be multiple taxonomies (much less terms) attached to a post type.

I'm still not sure about use-cases, and it would mess up with the regular post ordering and would require some pretty specific queries (i.e., meta_query with orderby).

Just something to keep in mind perhaps.

The more i think about this, the more I don't want to code it. It will be a nightmare. Will we have to store multiple menu orders based on term/taxonomy? Ick.

ryanhellyer commented 9 years ago

Taxonomies don't have an actual order anyway.

ronalfy commented 9 years ago

Hah, just received a request for this feature from my employer:

Change order of display: They would like to be able to determine what order the pages are listed in each category. I think right now it's most recent displaying first but it would be nice if they could easily select what order to place the listings in.

Perhaps this should be a different plugin?

Come to think of it, the blog post ordering thing probably could have been separate too I think.

ronalfy commented 9 years ago

Yeah, I'll look at the existing plugins and see how they do it.

I do like the menu order items in the plugin simply because people keep blaming our plugin for messing up and now we can say "try this".

If you happen to find a third-party plugin that does do this, let me know, we can strip out the feature, and say, "use this".

Resolution: taxonomy support should be reserved to third-party plugin.
