View that shows all terms, with or without associated nodes

Hi there,

I don't think filtering is going to help you. If you were to just add the taxonomy field, and configure the "No Results Behavior" option, would that do what you want?

Best of luck,

I'm using that taxonomy across various node types, ("staff" and "documents") so I have to filter those out.

Ah, I think I understand then. So I'm guessing that you're doing a node view? If so, then the query makes it difficult to simultaneously filter + include records that do not pass that filter.

If you are in fact working with a node view, I would recommend switching to a Taxonomy Term view. That ensures that every term gets included according to your filter (i.e. show all of the Career Posting-specific departments); then, you can create a relationship to the nodes that have those taxonomy terms ("Taxonomy term: Content with term"), and add the node fields as you would ordinarily do (making sure to set the relationship field for each of those node fields to the "node" relationship.) Then you'd set the "No Results Behavior" for, e.g., the (node) node.title field to say "There are currently no positions open."

Pete,

This was off to a great start. I created a term Taxonomy View for the vocabulary "Department" where the defaults show all terms; great.

Relationships

Next I added a Relationship -> "Taxonomy term: Content with term"

Fields section:

Present Field: Taxonomy Term: Name

I add the (node) Content: Title to the "Fields" section

Now the "auto preview" is showing all nodes which have the department vocabulary in their definition.

So this is where I apply a filter, if I read you correctly:

Filter Criteria

Note that creating a Taxonomy View inserts a filter, "Taxonomy Vocabulary: Machine Name (=Department)" so I'm adding a second filter:

(node) Content: Type (= Career Posting)

Right back to where I was yesterday

Here is the exported view: http://pastebin.com/9rQfRkui

Sorry, I forgot about the

any solution

I think it would actually work if you go back to a "content" view, add your filter for content type as usual and add an argument ("contextual filter") for "taxonomy term" and set that to display all results if there is no argument. Then you would display the taxonomy term as a field, set the "group by" option under format settings to group by taxonomy term.
