I try to output a list of terms from my custom taxonomy.
I am almost sure I was using this code snippet before, but somehow WP throws errors:
- shuffle() expects parameter 1 to be array
- array_slice() expects parameter 1 to be array
- usort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given
/* Show Custom Taxonomy Terms */
function these_rand_tax1() {
$max = 8; //number of categories to display
$taxonomy = 'baumaschinen_cat';
$terms = get_terms('taxonomy='.$taxonomy.'&orderby=name&order=ASC&hide_empty=0');
// Random order
shuffle($terms);
// Get first $max items
$terms = array_slice($terms, 0, $max);
// Sort by name
usort($terms, function($a, $b){
return strcasecmp($a->name, $b->name);
});
// Echo random terms sorted alphabetically
if ($terms) {
foreach($terms as $term) {
echo '<p><a href="' .get_term_link( $term, $taxonomy ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $term->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $term->name.'</a></p> ';
}
}
}
add_shortcode('random_taxonomies','these_rand_tax1');
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
What is going wrong here and how can I achieve a random taxonomy term list?
