Custom post type, custom taxonomy archive page

Hi and thanks in advance for any advice.
I have created a custom post type with 2 custom taxonomies. The custom post type is called suppliers and the 2 taxonomies are location and service type the supplier can provide multiple services and provide those services at multiple locations.
I am looking to create a page/ archive of the locations listed in the locations taxonomy which would then take you to a page/archive of the services available at that location. On clicking a service the user would be presented with a list of all the supplier that provide that service at that location.
Planning it i my head i was thinking if i can get a list of locations i would be able to create a custom link with a URL parameter to pass to the services page which could be picked up by the query string of the looper provider and then do the same thing from the services page to the suppliers list.
I am just getting my head around query strings and have created the string to bring all the suppliers in and i should be able to bring the parameter from the URL and build the URL on the button but i am struggling to get my head around how to create a page with just taxonomy titles on i.e just a page with the locations and just a page of types of service.

I have watched this great video by Josh Donnelly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=611IwxrOz8E but there is no filtering or listing of custom post taxonomy titles so if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
many thanks in advance

Hi Richard,

It is not very clear what exactly you are trying to build here. If you want to get the taxonomy data based on the URL parameter, you can fetch that using the {{dc:url:segment}}.


If you are trying to make a dropdown filter, you need to do the customization, which is beyond the scope of Theem Support. I would suggest you hire a developer who can assist you with the customization or you can avail of our newly launched service called TOTAL CARE, where we offer small customizations

Thanks

Hi
I am trying to achive the same as product categories. i.e when you first land on a shop page you are usually greeted with some categories and then sub categories before you reach the products. I am trying to first get the user to select a location first (a custom post type taxonomy) followed by a service type ( also a custom post type taxonomy). I have been looking a the Terms (Cloud ) element and trying to use that but i was wondering if i can create my own category navigation form my Suppliers custom post type with the 2 taxonomies location and service type.
Here is an example of what i am trying to achieve https://bestdayever-venues.co.uk/suppliers/ hopefully using Cornerstone Loopers

Hi Richard,

You can create your own category navigation form, but that requires customization. Please note that the custom code is beyond the scope of Theme Support, I would suggest you hire a developer who can assist you to do the customization or you can avail of our newly launched service called TOTAL CARE, where we offer small customizations

Thanks
