Template and Controller naming for custom taxonomy

[MyNerv]

I appreciate this thread is pretty old, but it caught my eye when looking for a little help on another area of this topic, so I thought I’d chime in with my tuppence.

if you have the taxonomy cakes with the terms angel and devils-food , the template taxonomy-cakes.php will be used to display the archives of posts that have the terms in that taxonomy applied to them, i.e. /cakes/devils-food/ . So no, I don’t believe there’s a neater way than creating a custom page template,

I may have the wrong end of the stick, but if you want a template for a specific term, you can do so. For example:

taxonomy: cakes
term: angel
template: taxonomy-cakes-angel.blade.php
controller: taxonomy-cakes-angel.php

This is something I’m currently implementing, so I know it works (not for cakes).

Now for what I came here for: Here’s what’s left me scratching my head.
