Taxonomy

The Taxonomy field allows you to select one of your WordPress taxonomies from a searchable dropdown menu.

This field type is exclusive to Block Lab Pro.

Settings

• Help Text: Instructions to describe the data needed in the field.
• Taxonomy Type: The taxonomy type filter (e.g. Categories, Tags)

PHP API Controls

• name
• label
• control
• type
• order
• location
• width
• help
• post_type_rest_slug

Template Usage

To display the Taxonomy field in your template, use the field name you provided.

<?php block_field( 'source' ); ?>

The API will return a WP_Taxonomy object, and echo the Taxonomy’s name. See the WP_Taxonomy class on WordPress.org.

Example template file /blocks/block-block-lab-example.php

<?php
// Block Lab Example Taxonomy Field

$taxonomy = block_value( 'source' ); // can be named anything, e.g., $source
$terms = get_terms( $taxonomy );

foreach ($terms as $term ) {
    $term_link = get_term_link( $term );

    if ( is_wp_error( $term_link ) ) { // just in case we encounter an error
        continue;
    }

    echo 'View more: <a href="' . esc_url( $term_link ) . '">' . $term->name . '</a>';
}

To use the block with the Taxonomy field on your site, locate it in the blocks menu.

It will then display within your post/page.

And then on the front-end of your site.
