Caridad,
I think the quickest path to get what I want is if you start from scratch and either set it up for me or tell me how I should set it up. In other words, tell me which things should be TYPES and which things should be TAXONOMIES. Either you or I can create them and then we can try to get the views to work.
Once again, here it the data I need to work with:
Cases – probably a Post Type since they have unique type of content
Attorneys – each case has an attorney (it may be possible for a case to have more than one attorney)
Case Status – each case has a single status
Practice Areas – each case falls into one or more practice areas
And this is the type of data output I need to get:
On each lawyers page, I need a list of that lawyer's Practice Areas (that would be the Practice Areas associated with Cases associated with that Attorney) so the relationship looks like this: PRACTICE AREAS => CASES <= ATTORNEY=(specific attorney value set by shortcode). And the output should look something like this:
LAWYER ONE PAGE
—————————-
Practice Area One (3)
Practice Area Five (12)
Practice Area Seven (6)
!!! Notice it does not list any practice area more than one time and doesn't list every practice area, only the ones that have cases associated with that lawyer!!! AND the post count doesn't list every post in that practice area, only the ones associated with that lawyer!!!
Each of those practice areas should be a link to get more information about the cases. That page should look something like this:
LAWYER ONE: PRACTICE AREA ONE
—————————————————-
Case Status A
- – Case (title and full case description)
- – Case (title and full case description)
- – Case (title and full case description)
Case Status B
- – Case (title and full case description)
- – Case (title and full case description)
Case Status C
- – Case (title and full case description)
- – Case (title and full case description)
- – Case (title and full case description)
- – Case (title and full case description)
- – Case (title and full case description)
!!! ONLY list cases associated with that lawyer (Attorney=LawyerOne)
!!! Omit empty Statuses
Just let me know if you need me to create the types and taxonomies and cases, etc. to play with. But tell me which items should be which, Types or Taxonomies, and what relationships they need to have.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
