How to setup Terms filtering for a Dynamic Content grid

Support
#1

Hello,

I have a page that displays all project credits. I want to add a filtering option at the top so visitors can narrow down and only see Advertisements, Movies, TV, etc. And the items in the grid would disappear and appear based on that.

I used the Terms element, which uses a custom taxonomy “Project Type” as the looper provider.

When I preview the page and click on the different terms, the page reloads and adds {{dc:term:url}} to the URL but the grid items don’t change. How can I link the Terms element to the dynamic Grid? So that when I click on one of the terms, the grid displays only the projects that correspond to that taxonomy.

Thanks!

Hi Emile,

Thanks for reaching out.
The given Admin URL is blocked with username and password and can’t be accessed with the given credentials. I would suggest you give the username and password for this or you can remove that temporarily.

Hey Tristup,

Thanks for your reply. Sorry about the password protection, I forgot it was there. Credentials sent in a secure note.

Thanks!

Hey Ruenel,

I have watched this video already. However I am unsure how to proceed here since what I am trying to do is different. Not trying to change the list’s order, but instead trying to make the terms buttons show different posts.

A good example of the functionality I am looking to achieve is what we can find in the “Portfolio” post type, where we can see a “Sort Portfolio” button on this example portfolio page. When a term is clicked, the grid shows the corresponding posts.

Any idea how to replicate this? I thought it would be straightforward but I am missing it.
Thanks a lot

Hi Emile,

You can try using the bundled grid plugins. It has the features you need. Please visit the links below for more details and plugin usage instructions.

Hope it works for you.
Thanks

Hey @tristup,

Thanks for the suggestion, this is definitely a potential solution. I was hoping the native grid, if paired with loopers, would be able to achieve this functionality. Do you think there is an alternative way to achieve it natively? Thank you!

Hi Emile,

You can achieve that, but it may require complex programming and you’d need to consult with our Elite team, or else you can hire a developer who can assist you to do the customization.

Thanks

Thanks @tristup,
I got it to work using Essential Grid. That will do for now

Any plans on making this possible natively in the future?

Cheers
Emile
