Select all taxonomy terms while inline editing
Hi,
I have a “Towns” taxonomy with 157 terms. For some posts, all terms need to be selected. Is there a quicker way than clicking them one by one?
I tried Windows shortcuts like CTRL+A and using the shift key to select a range, but that does not seem to work.
Unfortunately, this is not possible in our plugin.
Personally, I would probably create a script that does this for me, but I’m not sure if you know how to do that.
The Select box does not support multi select items with a keyboard combination.
Hi Stefan,
Ok, thanks. Perhaps it’s a nice feature for your wish list :-)
I have created a similar script once, that selected all terms of a taxonomy upon opening a post for editing. It worked, but there seems to be some issue in WordPress core because it started firing numerous requests (to a WordPress API if I remember correctly). That slowed down the admin for a few minutes each time. So not a real time saver.
I guess we have to stick to what we have.
You could have a look at this hook:
https://github.com/codepress/admin-columns-hooks/blob/master/acp-editing-saved.php
This hook fires when a value for inline editing is stored.
You could try to target a specific column and set all taxonomies when a specific ID or specific tag is targeted.
