I hope I can explain this correctly... the WordPress terminology with custom taxonomies is a bit confusing for for me...
I have a normal page with 100 custom tags assigned to it. These custom tags are assigned to the 'electrician'.
I have a template page called taxonomy-electrician.php
This template page simply shows the below, depending on the custom tag...
<?php single_tag_title(); ?> is an electrician
In effect it makes me 100 different pages (1 for each custom tag)
I have another group of 50 custom tags from a different custom taxonomy (suburbs).
NB: This group of 50 tags are not related in any way way to the 100 'electrician' custom tags
On my taxonomy-electrician page I also want to show a list of 10 random custom tags from the other custom taxonomy (suburbs).
In effect I want the taxonomy-electrician.php page to look like this...
Bill is an electrician
[10 random tags from 'suburbs']

OK Basically I want to show this OUTSIDE the loop, that is, show this anywhere in any template file...
<?php
wp_tag_cloud( array( 'taxonomy' => 'suburb', 'format' => 'flat', 'order' => 'rand', 'separator' => ', ','number' => 45, ) );
?>

Thanks but i don't think it's what I'm asking for... maybe it's me not explaining it correctly? Categories really have nothing to to do with it... the focus is displaying the tags/terms from a custom taxonomy group anywhere in any theme file.
Arnav Joy comments:
try the code there by replacing "category" to your taxonomy name "suburbs"
pjeaje comments:
I need something like this... but I want to be able to have control over the number of tags displayed, the order (random) and how the tags are separated e.g. list, by comma etc.
<?php
$taxonomy = 'electrician';
$queried_term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var($taxonomy) );
$terms = get_terms($taxonomy);
if ($terms) {
foreach($terms as $term) {
echo '<li><a href="' . $term->slug . '">' . $term->name .'</a></li>';
}
}
?>

There's a variety of codes there... which one in particular are you inferring?
Arnav Joy comments:
code by "john.andrews"
pjeaje comments:
Do I replace EVERY instance of category' with 'taxonomy' ?
pjeaje comments:
It would be nice if you could paste the code here with all the changes that need to be made. Thanks.
Arnav Joy comments:
try this
<?php
wp_tag_cloud( array( 'taxonomy' => 'suburb', 'format' => 'list', 'order' => 'RAND', 'number' => 10, echo => 1 ) );
?>
pjeaje comments:
That kills my theme :)
Arnav Joy comments:
forgot to place a quote sign , here it is
<?php
wp_tag_cloud( array( 'taxonomy' => 'suburb', 'format' => 'list', 'order' => 'RAND', 'number' => 10, 'echo' => 1 ) );
?>
pjeaje comments:
OK this is the same problem I've been getting for ages... for some reason it's just picking out 10 tags and randomising those same 10 tags each time the page refreshes... i need a completely new random set of 10 tags each time... this isn't happening ?????
pjeaje comments:
Any other ideas?

Here is the code I am using for my own template and works fine
<?php // Let's get the data we need
$term_category = get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'your_cpt_category', '', ', ', '' );
$term_tags = get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'your_cpt_tags', '', ', ', '' );
?>
and than echo the variable
<?php echo $term_category; ?>
<?php echo $term_tags; ?>
This will surely render the taxonomy
pjeaje comments:
Where do i insert these?
pjeaje comments:
OK get it working but it's only half of what i need... I need apply arguments to it, namely randomise it, numberise it and separatise it...
Jatin Soni comments:
Okay let me try with that too. I will post another code in few minutes.
Jatin Soni comments:
Ah! sorry I missunderstood.....I still confuse what arguments you want on it
pjeaje comments:
Pretty much all the normal tag cloud arguments
pjeaje comments:
Any luck?
Jatin Soni comments:
Not yet, this require to create function or a small kind of plugin need more effort to put to make it works.
