Filter a structured collection?

[stephenmeehanuk]

Hi

I'm using an ordered collection as navigation nav:collection:products, the collection has a taxonomy called divisions.

I'd like to filter nav:collection:products by a taxonomy term.

I can only get the filter to work if I use collection:products, I can't get it to work with nav:collection:products

collection:products

When I use collection:products, the taxonomy:divisions filter works as expected, the entires are filtered by a taxonomy term, but It ignores the children - because it's not a nav

 {{ collection:products taxonomy:divisions="{slug}"  }}
            <ul>
                <li>{{ title }} - {{ divisions.title | wrap:span.font-semibold }}</li>
                {{ if children }}
                    <ul class="ml-4">
                        {{ children }}
                            <li>
                                {{ title }}
                                {{ if children }}
                                    <ul class="ml-4">{{ *recursive children* }}</ul>
                                {{ /if }}
                            </li>
                        {{ /children }}
                    </ul>
                {{ /if }}
            </ul>
{{ /collection:products }}

nav:collection:products

If I add the nav: part, the taxonomy:divisions="{slug}" is ignored - so all the entires are displayed, and the children are shown.

{{ nav:collection:products taxonomy:divisions="{slug}"  }}
            <ul>
                <li>{{ title }} - {{ divisions.title | wrap:span.font-semibold }}</li>
                {{ if children }}
                    <ul class="ml-4">
                        {{ children }}
                            <li>
                                {{ title }}
                                {{ if children }}
                                    <ul class="ml-4">{{ *recursive children* }}</ul>
                                {{ /if }}
                            </li>
                        {{ /children }}
                    </ul>
                {{ /if }}
            </ul>
        {{ /nav:collection:products }}

I'd like to be able to filter nav:collection:products by taxonomy:divisions="{slug}"

Is there a way to get this to work?

I don't think the nav tag is meant to support all the collection tag methods so this is more of a feature request.

For now, you should probably export the markup you need to a partial and try to make it work using the collection tag.

Custom modifier could maybe work?

{{ nav:collection:products divisions:is="{slug}" }}?

[stephenmeehanuk]

I should have mentioned, I tried that and it does the same thing. Errors the page.

Is either one of those supposed to work? If so, should I post it as a bug?

[edalzell]

if you {{ slug | dump }} what do you get?

[stephenmeehanuk]

It outputs the correct slug. This matches the name of the divisions taxonomy term I'm trying to filter nav:collection:products on.

.....

I managed to figure out what was going on.

Argument #1 ($string) must be of type string, array given

The answer was right in front of me. I double checked the divisions terms data

At some point the taxonomy allowed multiple terms (array), but had been restricted to one term in the Blueprint. But for some of the entires, the data was still formatted as an array.

Thanks for your help on this.

I guess the entries are so many that making a nav for this collection is out of the question right?

Indeed, without access to the structure you this would be hard to do. How about trying a custom modifier for filtering the results of the nav tag?
