[wp-hackers] Hierarchical Taxonomies permalinks

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

Just to confirm, Since the start of custom taxonomies, non-category  
hierarchical taxonomies haven't had /parent/child/subchild/ url's (Which  
i'm honestly disapointed about).
3.0 hasnt changed that.
3.1 will hopefully change that including support for "$taxonomy__in"  
"$taxonomy__not_in" etc.

In the meantime, Here's some code which will give you "category"-link  
permalinks for hierarchical custom taxonomies.

<?php

add_action('init', '_state_taxonomy');
function _state_taxonomy() {
     global $wp_rewrite;
     register_taxonomy('state', array('note', 'post'), array('hierarchical'  
=> true, 'label' => 'States', 'show_ui' => true, 'query_var' => 'state',  
'rewrite' => true) );
     $wp_rewrite->add_rewrite_tag("%state%", '.*?/?([^/]+)', "state="); //  
Override the query var, do this directly after registering the taxonomy
     // Note on the regex above, May look strange, but is to only match the  
final path item in the url, which is the child slug. WP_Query doesnt  
reconise hierarchical custom tax slugs
     // $wp_rewrite->flush_rules(); // Flush them on activation, not init,  
please?
}

add_filter('term_link', '_hierarchical_terms_hierarchical_links', 9, 3);
function _hierarchical_terms_hierarchical_links($termlink, $term,  
$taxonomy) {
     global $wp_rewrite;

     if ( 'state' != $taxonomy ) // Change 'state' to your required taxonomy
         return $termlink;

     $termstruct = $wp_rewrite->get_extra_permastruct($taxonomy);
     if ( empty($termstruct) ) // If rewrites are disabled, fall back to  
the current link
         return $termlink;

     if ( empty($term->parent) ) // Fall back to the current link for  
parent terms
         return $termlink;

     $nicename = $term->slug;
     while ( !empty($term->parent) ) {
         $term = get_term($term->parent, $taxonomy);
         $nicename = $term->slug . '/' . $nicename;
     }

     $termlink = str_replace("%$taxonomy%", $nicename, $termstruct);
     $termlink = home_url( user_trailingslashit($termlink, 'category') );

     return $termlink;
}
