Custom Field Taxonomies is a plugin that lets you use post metadata as ad-hoc taxonomies.
For each taxonomy, you have
It also has a nice settings page where you can define which fields to be used as taxonomies.
PHP5 is required.

stefano says: great plugin but dont work for me
wwww.mydomain.com/?autore=milena agus
error:
warning: missing argument 3 for CFTaxonomies in ……main.php on line 72
The correct url should be http://www.mydomain.com/?autore=milena+agus
If you use the provided template tags, you won’t have to worry about this.
Is it not displaying posts, or just the title is wrong?
Also, did you set ‘autore’ as a meta taxonomy in the plugin settings page?
stefano says: so should i put meta-template.php in my theme folder?
the error comes up on the blue part of the browser…
and the homepage remain the same.
can you provide some example for settings?
i put “autore” in the key field and “autore” in the title field
thanks!
No, meta-template.php should stay where it is. You can make a copy of your index.php file and rename it meta.php. There you can do the editing. (I’ll rename meta-template.php to something less confusing)
Your settings are correct. You can go with “Autore” as the title or anything else that suits your needs.
stefano says: sorry my wordpress is WordPress 2.6.3
stefano says: “You can make a copy of your index.php file and rename it meta.php. There you can do the editing.”
what editing you mean?
If you don’t want the filtered posts to be displayed differently, you don’t have to create meta.php.
Instead, say you want to display the author at the bottom of each post:
Open index.php and find
<php the_content() ?>
or something similar. After it, add this line:
<?php echo get_linked_meta($post->ID, 'autore') ?>
(I guess it would be better if I added a filter that automatically did this.)
stefano says: thanks Scribu
my dream would be search among meta values
im interested in the basic core of your plugin
http://yoursite.com/?foo=bar
the dream would be to search like
http://yoursite.com/?s=dog&foo=bar
….
for test i putted
ID, ‘autore’) ?>
in my loop
it comes showing the autore value….and the destination url is
http://yoursite.com//?autore=Sandra+Petrignani
but when i click on it
i go on my homepage
with the errore i told you
warning: missing argument 3 for CFTaxonomies in ……main.php on line 72
and no post (with meta) show up just my NORMAL homepage
I’ll have to do some testing with your version of WP to see what is going on.
If you just want sorting, you might want to try Smart Sort, althought I don’t think it can permit multiple fields.
stefano says: i tried Smart Sort but it didn’t work.
i putted it in a category page…e showed no post
stefano says: i have a lot of website..ill try on some other
another question:
you know how to hack search.php? and sort results grouped by category? or metafield?
No, I haven’t done that. Try the Search Unleashed plugin. I currently use this one on a site.
stefano says: did you update your plugin?
stefano says: i tried your plugin 0.52 on another website:
it didnt start the plugin
fatal error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /web/htdocs/www.arstuavitamea.com/home/atvm/wp-content/plugins/custom-field-taxonomies/inc/scbOptions.php on line 6
this should be php5
stefano says: i tried your plugin 0.51 on another server ti worked but it gave me more results
i think it gave me all results with the right post as first
http://stefanomavilio.com/blog/?plan=rome
stefano says: no ..it doesnt work
http://stefanomavilio.com/blog/?plan=paris
gave me the same results
This plug-in looks interesting.
I am WP 2.7 and PHP5
I’ve not tried the plug in yet.
I am looking for complex taxonomies, not simple hierarchical. I can create these as multiple simple hierarchical taxonomies, provided multiple selects were supported.
Like the idea of stefano’s “dream” above
http://yoursite.com/?s=dog&foo=bar
Can you support this.
I would like to make the plugin work well with just one set first.
After that, maybe I’ll give it a go.
So please test the plugin and let me know if something doesn’t work right.
stefano says: scribu can you provide an example of meta.php?
Like I said, copy whatever you have in your index.php theme file into meta.php and place it in your theme folder also.
stefano says: i did it!!!
the problem was my meta.php
you said i could rename my index.php in meta.php and use it..
my index.php contain query_posts(’showposts=1&cat=47′); ?> and NOT WORKED
you need to query post in this way
so the rights posts come out! ok!
but..
still warning..error..missing arguments
stefano says: PERFECT NOW WITH version is now 0.5.2.1b
great job scribu!
stefano says: would be nice to query within a category
eg. http://www.mydomain.org/category/dogs/?color=black
I havent tried this yet but looks very promising. Interesting way to expand WP.
Congratulations!
Lifeischoice says: Thanks for the plugin…..currently, I have a separate registration page from normal wp because I need to pass 1 or 2 custom field values during registration…. , but I will like to use the normal wp registration directly if possible….can I use your plugin to do this? how?
No, I don’t think you can. This plugin’s job is mainly to display data, instead of collecting it. Sorry.
Bohdan says: After update for new version my guery like ?key=value not working..
So what do you want me to do with so little information? Please provide more details:
- WordPress version?
- Did you define any taxonomies?
- Does it work with the default theme?
