Get all posts from custom taxonomy in Wordpress

Question

Is there a way to get all the posts from a taxonomy in Wordpress ?

In taxonomy.php, I have this code that gets the posts from the term related to the current term.

$current_query = $wp_query->query_vars;
query_posts( array( $current_query['taxonomy'] => $current_query['term'], 'showposts' => 10 ) );

I'd like to create a page with all the posts in the taxonomy, regardless of the term.

Is there a simple way to do this, or do I have to query the taxonomy for the terms, then loop trough them, etc.

Answer 1

$myterms = get_terms('taxonomy-name', 'orderby=none&hide_empty');    
echo  $myterms[0]->name;

With that you'd post the first item, yo can then create a foreach; loop:

foreach ($myterms as $term) { ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo $term->slug; ?>"><?php echo $term->name; ?></a></li> <?php
} ?>

That way you'd list them, if you want to post all of them, -my solution- create a normal wordpress loop inside the foreach one, but it has to have something like:

foreach ($myterms as $term) :

$args = array(
    'tax_query' => array(
        array(
            $term->slug
        )
    )
);

//  assigning variables to the loop
global $wp_query;
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);

// starting loop
while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();

the_title();
blabla....

endwhile;

endforeach;
