Combine category and taxonomy

[lorenz]

I have a category named “betreuung”
And I have a taxanomy named “betreuung”
So, when I search for “betreuung” I get two (identical) lines for the results. See attached screen shot (first 2 lines):
– Betreuung (119)
– Betreuung (27)

My customer, however, only wants so see one line;
– Betreuung (146)

I tried hard to solve this but did not succeed.

Can you please help me with this?

Thanks a lot,

Hi!

Well, this could get really difficult, as each taxonomy term is probably linking to a different location. I have put together small code snipptet, that will try to group the terms by name during the post process.
Try adding this custom code to the functions.php in your theme/child theme directory (copy from line 3 only!). Before editing, please make sure to have a full site back-up just in case!

add_filter('asp_results', 'asp_group_terms', 10, 1);
function asp_group_terms($results) {
  $terms = array();
  $terms_occurence = array();
  $new_results = array();
  
  foreach($results as $k=>&$r) {
    if ( isset($r->taxonomy) ) {
      preg_match('/^(.*?)\((.*?)\)/', $r->title, $m);
      if ( isset($m[1], $m[2]) ) {
        $terms[$m[1]] = isset( $terms[$m[1]] ) ? $terms[$m[1]] + $m[2] : $m[2];
      }
    }
  }
  foreach($results as $k=>&$r) {
    if ( isset($r->taxonomy) ) {
      preg_match('/^(.*?)\((.*?)\)/', $r->title, $m);
      if ( isset($m[1], $m[2]) ) {
        // Already occured once, reset it
        if ( !isset($terms_occurence[$m[1]]) ) {
          $r->title = $m[1] . '(' . $terms[$m[1]] . ')';
          $new_results[] = $r;
          $terms_occurence[$m[1]] = true;  
        }       
      } else {
        $new_results[] = $r;
      }
    } else {
      $new_results[] = $r;
    }
  }
  
  return $new_results;
}

Please note, that this might not work in each and every case though.

Thank you so much for your support. This is much more support than I have expected!
I will let you know, how it works.

Thanks,
