Show Related Terms Block Not Nodes

Question

Hello i have been trying for many a moon to create this View and i cant go on any longer its destrying my life (honest)

I want to show Related Terms (not content) on my taxonomy/term/* page. Example.

White Setter and Black Setter are both in a dogs vocabulary. I have 'related' them via the taxonomy/term/*/edit-term page.

I want to create a block view that will show Black Setter on the White Setter page and vica versa. I have tried every relationship and every argument with no success at all. Does anyone know if this is possible to make?

Relationships Taxonomy: Related terms Arguments Taxonomy: Term ID

Thanks

Before i post i see that i have asked ths on other peoples posts (and one of mine) they where never resolved. People keep talking about adding nodes in the view but i was wanting to use a term View.

Answer 1

It's not really hard:

1. Create a new taxonomy view.
2. Add an argument: Taxonomy: Term ID. If argument is not present, provide a default argument: Taxonomy Term ID from URL. Check the Load default argument from term page checkbox.
3. Add a relationship: Taxonomy: Related terms.
4. Finally, add a field: Taxonomy: Term. Use the Related term relationship, and check the Link this field to its taxonomy term page option.
5. Don't forget to create the block display.

As your requirement is to create a block that will show Black Setter on the White Setter page and vica versa, there is another simple way to achieve this. The function taxonomy_get_related() will do this.

Create a block with input format as php and use above function to print related terms by passing current page term id. Then assign the block to particular region. The following snippet will works,

for eg:

 <?php
    $termid = arg(2);
    $terms = taxonomy_get_related($termid, $key = 'tid');
    //print_r($terms);
    foreach($terms as $term){

       $link = url('taxonomy/term/'.$term->tid);
       echo '<a href="'.$link.'">'.$term->name.'</a>';
     }
  ?>
