Show all terms which share the same parent - is it possible?

Add the parent relationship as always, and set the argument to the parent relationship

=> You get every taxonomy term which has the same parent(as the current one).

After some discussion and practical exercises together with letharion, I would like to say that this is actually not possible with Views as it is now.

Some details can be found at http://drupal.org/node/1084338#comment-4181198

Ill reopen this as the only solutions that are available are using page manager.

I think i managed to do this with Views 2 and Drupal 6. For the life of me i am unable to remember how i managed it. Ive been at it all day too. The original poster asks-

When On the ' Devon' term page, I want to display a View containing all the other counties in that region - eg a block containing links to Somerset, Cornwall and Dorset.

Thats the same for me. Im trying to create a block that displays whilst viewing a node. At the moment i can only display child terms and if a nodes term has no child term then my blocks wont show. I have the views to look for the term on the node.

Has anyone been able to work out if it is possible in Views without using Panels as much as i like Panels i have enough modules to be getting on with.

Thanks.

@fadgadget: If you managed to do this with Views 2, then you probably used the contextual filters that filters on taxonomy, and the one that modifies "term depth". I've never understood these completely, but I'd dig around there for a solution.

Another approach, which might be cleaner, is to code a new default value plugin, that fetches the parent term ID for the viewed term. With such a default value plugin in place, you'd need the following Views config:

1) A view listing country terms.
2) A relationship to the parent term.
3) A contextual filter, filtering on ID for the parent term.
4) A default value for the contextual filter, using the newly coded plugin.
5) Optionally, another contextual filter excluding the currently viewed country term (so "Devon" isn't listed again when viewing Devon).

Thanks Intanglo. I actually reinstalled an old database of mine soemwehere and grabbed the old view off the site. I'll attach it here Its a bit of a mess is there is 2 or 3 blocks that need deleted from the view.

If folks are interested the Block settings Admin: kidterm30 block will show all child terms if you are on the parent term page. That works fine and as hoped. I found it somewhere on the net but had great problems recreating since. I hope this helps the original poster as it should resolve things for him.

The Admin: kidtermnode block is the block that im trying to show on a node. I was sure it used to work before but i cant seem to get it working again. I was hoping that it could show parent other children when viewing a node. I think. I'll take it showing anything remotely like the parent term i it has children or not.

actually the Admin: kidtermnode block also works on a node if the term on the node has child terms. So in effect that block shows 'children terms of node term'. I can see it working here

I think my problem is when viewing a node that has a term with no children.

I think if i reverse the term depth to pick up terms 'the other way' might have an effect. lets see....no i dont get to chose the argument with depth. I might be able to struggle on without showing 'sibling terms to the nodes term when viewing node' but if anyone can fill in a few gaps it would be much appreciated. thanks

I HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS! Sure, 4 years too late, but incase anybody else stumbles across this you can benefit from my hours of mucking about with this. This solution creates one single view, which will display Sibling Terms on a Parent Term Page, a Child Term Page and even a Node Page filed under a Child Term.

The trick is URLS, and the rest is simple.

Use PathAuto and Entity API (specifically Entity Token submodule) to create the following URL Patterns at admin/config/search/path/patterns:

Node ---> [node:your-term-field:parent]/[node:title]
Term ---> [term:parent]/[term:name]

Then in a Taxonomy Term View:

Fields ---> Taxonomy term: Name
Filter ---> Taxonomy term: Vocabulary (=Your Term Vocabulary)
Contextual Filter ---> Taxonomy Term: Parent term:
- Provide default value
- Raw value from URL
- Path component: 1
- Use path alias on
- Specify validation criteria on
- Validator: taxomony term
- Vocabulary: your term vocabulary
- Filter value type: Term name converted to Term ID
- Tansform dashes on

BANG!

Do you have solution to show the same but in block(s) ?

for this type of issue, I stop and ask myself: what entity am I trying to print?

For this, one common mistake is to try to paint the parent. When you do the contextual filtering, it will also filter out the parent's siblings, leaving you with the displaying element only.

Another common error, is to forget to create a row for each element. If we make this mistake, every element will display several times. (cardinal join)

So:

I am trying to print the node I am seeing.

Create a contextual filter by nid, default value = node id from URL.
Create a relationship with the parent.
Add the siblings field (use parent relationship), on "Multiple field settings", uncheck "Display all values in the same row" .
Add the sorting (use parent relationship), parent delta. for the siblings field.

#8 seems to work in a block also BB but you probably see that now.

Thanks studio-days. works great for me on term pages but im struggling to create a url pattern for the node

Node ---> [node:your-term-field:parent]/[node:title]

ive got entity token enabled. Got lots of tokens but none seem to e working in the url pattern. the closest thing i have to your suggestion is

[node:field-tags:1:parents] (also 2,3)

the node url doesnt change to the pattern. is there something im missing anyone?

tx

also im a bit worried about my term urls that ive created via this way.

Sport (/sport)
-football /sport/football)
--Scottish football (/football/scottish-football)
---Scottish League One (/scottish-football/scottish-league-one)

i think i would need to have something like this for 'scottish league one'

sport/football/scottish-football/scottish-league-one

but then again that might be a wee bit deep. so maybe this would be preferable if poss...

Sport (/sport)
-football /football)
--Scottish football (/scottish-football)
---Scottish League One (/scottish-league-one)

mmm i dunno about the last suggestions. i think im in confusion now which is a shame as ive finally got a sibling menu on my term pages. i refuse to use Panels just for this one block.
