Oh and it would also be good if those custom queries could go to a search engine friendly url, something like.

Thanks for this well written tutorial.

Here’s a question, is it possible to create a page that queries multiple taxonomies?

Using your example, say I wanted to find all the movies that were produced by Stephen Spielbierg IN the genre Fantasy.

So basically sort by multiple taxonomies.

Another thought! (sorry)

A way around this (seemingly overly-complex) methodology I posted above might be to just associate images with taxonomy terms and keep it like your example. HOWEVER, what do you do in the case of Daniel Petrie Jr. in your Turner & Hooch example? How do you make it so you can click on him in either taxonomy and get to the same Daniel Petrie Jr. archive that displays ALL his credits (not just his writing credits or just his producing credits)?

Sorry to double post – just wanted to add that as examples, this type of functionality exists on funnyordie.com and vimeo.com

Thank you so much for this post.

Is there a way to associate a custom taxonomy with users of the website, so that I can do this exact thing for original content? I’d like to be able to display the avatar and name of each person associated with the post. I’m essentially trying to create multiple “author” taxonomies, all with different names.

Thanks for this excellent post, Justin. It takes seeing a real example like you posted above to see the power of taxonomies. I’m just seeing now that I’m only scratching the surface.

Hey Justin,

your suggestion with bands and music is exactly what I search for.
I know how to create my own taxanomies and how I can show them.

If want to list all CDs of a band (band taxanomy) how does it work, when I read one CD review and click on the band (thats the taxanomy) the the new page shows the band name and displays a image, title of all the available CD reviews.

this is what I dont find out yet.

Like in your movie database, it shows only the images.

Can you please explain how you created the templage-page for showing the diffrent taxanomies.

Thanks a lot,
Denis
