Views show content tagged with ANY of multiple taxonomy terms instead of ONLY those terms.

Posted by eminencehealthcare on December 17, 2012 at 10:11pm

I have a views list that has a filter "has taxonomy term" A
I have another filter "has taxonomy term" B
I want to show all items tagged with EITHER of these terms.
Right now how it works is it only shows content that is tagged with A and B.
I want items to display that are EITHER A or B.

Are 'A' and 'B' in the same

Are 'A' and 'B' in the same vocabulary or different vocabularies. And which version of Drupal are you using?

Drupal 7.16

Thanks for your response,
Drupal 7.16
A and B are in different vocabularies.

Next to "Filter criteria",

Next to "Filter criteria", click the down arrow next to "add', select "add/or, rearrange".

Click "Create new filter group" (you can skip this step if you have only the two terms as filters).

Set the operator to "Or" for the new group

If you added a new group, drag the two term filters to the new group.

Save

That does the trick.

Thank you for that it, works great.
Now I have a problem when adding multiple taxonomy terms of the same type. (content: has taxonomy term = Pending)
It will work in either one of the two groups but not both of them.
Can I only have one taxonomy term= pending even if they are in separate filter groups?

Not sure I understand what is

Posted by nevets on December 18, 2012 at 11:21pm

Not sure I understand what is your goal? For example

published = yes AND (field_A = term1 OR field_B = term2)

would correspond to your original question with the addition the node would need to be published.

I want both A and B to also

Posted by eminencehealthcare on December 18, 2012 at 11:35pm

I want both A and B to also have to have "pending" taxonomy term.

It seems like it should work like this:

Group:1
Content: Has taxonomy term (= A) AND
Content: Has taxonomy term (= Pending)

Group:2
Content: Has taxonomy term (= B) AND
Content: Has taxonomy term (= Pending)

But when I add Pending to both of the field groups it doesn't work.
Only if I add pending to one of the field groups does it filter like it should.

I would write that

Posted by nevets on December 18, 2012 at 11:59pm

I would write that as

Group:1
Content: Has taxonomy term (= Pending)

AND

Group:2
Content: Has taxonomy term (= A) OR
Content: Has taxonomy term (= B)

Yaay

That did it nevets,
Thank you so much for your help again. It all makes so much sense now.

Could you use contextual

Posted by jmm42 on December 18, 2012 at 10:24pm

Could you use contextual filters?

Perhaps

Thanks for the reply,
Perhaps I could use contextual filters but I do not seem to understand it well enough to accomplish what I am aiming for.

Contextual Filters

Posted by jmm42 on December 19, 2012 at 2:14am

You can create content, and specify the URL it has, or do some overriding with taxonomy terms to be automatic. When you create a view, contextual filters can grab the current page's (the browser is on) URL. That URL will be the argument. You can specify actions - what to display - based on that argument.
