How to Use Exposed filter of Taxonomy term with depth in Taxonomy View

Question

I have a question which is similar to How to use taxonomy terms(with depth) on a views exposed filter?

But problem in my case is that I am using views of type Taxonomy, here I don't get option in Filter "Taxonomy Term: Has content with depth".

I have my Taxonomy like : -Country -State 1 -City 1 -City 2 -City 3 -State 2 -City 4 -City 5 -City 6

I want exposed filter which has 3 select boxes like : -Country- -State- -City- - State and City boxes fillup by Ajax based on Country selected.

Then the view should be updated based on the selected filters. i.e If I select State 1 then I should get results of all the Cities below it and even of State 1.

Please note that I am not using View of type content, My view type is Taxonomy.

Can anyone suggest me how should I get this working?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

But problem in my case is that I am using views of type Taxonomy, here I don't get option in Filter "Taxonomy Term: Has content with depth".

You can bring that option into scope if you add a Relationship of "Taxonomy term: Representative node" or "Taxonomy term: Content using MY_VOCABULARY" and general any relationship that will join the node (or other Entity) table with the taxonomy table.

Answer 2

If you want to have nodes show in your Views results, you need build a view of type node. If you want taxonomy terms to show up in your results, then you build a view of type taxonomy.

If you want to use the taxonomy term with depth filter, you'll need to rebuild your view as a node view.

For example, you have a real estate site with listings -- node type is "listing" and it was a location taxonomy term associated with it that says what city each listing is in. Build a node view and add a filter of taxonomy-term-with-depth with a depth of 10 so that selecting a state will also show listings for all the cities in that state.

Hope that helps.
