Hello Andrea,

I would like to display a field that is autocomplete for internal taxonomies. I tried combining your plugin with BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types. It looks like they have an autocomplete taxonomies option, but I couldn’t even make sure of it because your plugin won’t allow me to display the custom taxonomy field.
Is there a way to display that kind of field using your plugin?

Thank you so much for the organised plugin page that you have 🙂

Clara

Hello Clara,

As promised, I wrote a post explaining how to register a Custom Taxonomy Multiselector field, and another post explaining how to add Select2 to your search forms, without having to write a new form template.

If you apply both, you could achieve the purpose you detailed in your original post.

Please let me know if something doesn’t work for you as expected!

Hi Andrea,

I didn’t find the file bp-custom.php.
What Am I doing wrong?

Hello Andrea,

Thank you so much for your messages and your help.
I have read all the links you’ve sent to me. I have tested and it didn’t work 🙁
I created a bp-custom.php file and uploaded in wp-content/plugins.
In the file I pasted the code
<?php
use BPXProfileCFTR\Field_Types\Field_Type_Multi_Select_Taxonomy;
 
add_action (‘bps_custom_field’, ‘bps_register_msct’);
add_action (‘bp_ps_custom_field’, ‘bps_register_msct’);
function bps_register_msct ($f)
{
if ($f->type != ‘multiselect_custom_taxonomy’) return;
 
$taxonomy = Field_Type_Multi_Select_Taxonomy::get_selected_taxonomy ($f->id);
$terms = get_terms ($taxonomy, array (‘hide_empty’ => false));
 
$f->format = ‘set’;
$f->get_value = ”;
foreach ($terms as $t)
$f->options[$t->term_id] = $t->name;
}
 
add_action (‘bps_field_before_search_form’, ‘bps_change_display’);
add_action (‘bp_ps_field_before_search_form’, ‘bps_change_display’);
function bps_change_display ($f)
{
if (isset ($f->type) && $f->type == ‘multiselect_custom_taxonomy’)
$f->display = ‘multiselectbox’;

add_action (‘bps_before_search_form’, ‘bps_enable_select2’);
add_action (‘bp_ps_before_search_form’, ‘bps_enable_select2’);
function bps_enable_select2 ($F)
{
wp_enqueue_script (‘select2-js’, ‘https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/select2/4.0.13/js/select2.min.js&#8217;, array (‘jquery’));
wp_enqueue_style (‘select2-css’, ‘https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/select2/4.0.13/css/select2.min.css&#8217;);
?>
<script>
jQuery(function ($) {
$(‘.bps-selectbox select’).select2({width: ’10em’, dropdownAutoWidth: true});
$(‘.bps-multiselectbox select’).select2({width: ’10em’, dropdownAutoWidth: true});
});
</script>

?>

What happens is that I get a message on the browser saying that my site has a critical error and I can’t access anything, nor dashboard, the site breaks.

Have I done anything wrong?

Hello Clara,

I was able to log into your site, and there were a few missing characters in bp-custom.php, e.g. a couple of closing braces }.

They are also missing in the code you pasted above, but I didn’t notice them earlier.

Please let me know if the autocomplete feature is now working for you.

Hi Clara,

You’re welcome!

Yes, Select2 autocomplete applies to Custom Taxonomy MultiSelector and any other multiple-selection fields you may create, while Custom Taxonomy MultiSelector applies to categories and any other taxonomy you may create.

Hi Clara,

If you are still using a Custom Taxonomy MultiSelector, what you actually need to import is a taxonomy, the same that you are using in your Custom Taxonomy MultiSelector field.

I think that WP All Import can import taxonomies, but you might want to double check with them just to be sure.

Hi Clara,

That’s great! I’m glad you have successfully imported your data, and that’s what really matters 🙂

Hi Clara,

Unfortunately using contains with Google place autocomplete is not possible at this time, but I’m going to add this feature to my to-do list. Thank you for your suggestion!
