Help with custom taxonomies

[David Hickox]

I’m trying to use custom taxonomies with ECP and hitting a wall. I’ve registered the taxonomy and categorized some stuff, but my taxonomy archive is coming up all 404-ey. To be honest, my grasp of template hierarchy is less than stellar, and that coupled with a plugin and its template directory has me lost.

Here’s what I’m trying to do:

I need to show events for four different category types with an archive for each. Those are: age ranges, event type, event group, and a fourth one that I’m not quite sure what to call. I’m using tags for age range and the default categories for event type. My thought is that I’d register two more taxonomies that would provide me with the ability to create archives for the other two categories.

I’m trying to tackle the group category and I’ve got my taxonomy registered like so – http://cl.ly/image/1s1A2T3i1H2E Everything looks great in the editor, but when I follow the taxonomy link in the admin (http://my.url/groups/group-name/) it gives me page not found.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi David:

It’s always great to see people building new and fun features. Unfortunately it’s not something we can help with, it’s a custom development task and we really have to leave that to you.

The only thing that jumps out from your register_taxonomy() call is the use of an additional args key – I’m not sure that’s actually used, but it probably won’t impact adversely either. Perhaps the problem lies elsewhere?

It’s been a while so I’ll go ahead and close this thread. Of course if you need further help for this or any other issue please do feel free to create a new thread or threads as needed. Thanks!
