Custom taxonomy for tagging

taxonomy.php

<?php

/* Preamble */
 
A tag has 8 parts - Tier 1, Tier 2, Brand, Colour, Material, Pattern, Price, XY (coordinates for tag position)
There is currently no limit to the amount of tags.

/* Approach 1 - create a custom taxonomy for each tag part and for each tag create an array value */
 
wp_set_object_terms(123, array('dress','shoes'), tag_t1)
wp_set_object_terms(123, array('high-waisted','high-heel'), tag_t2)
wp_set_object_terms(123, array('topshop','next'), tag_brand)
wp_set_object_terms(123, array('red','blue'), tag_colour)
wp_set_object_terms(123, array('leather','suede'), tag_material)
wp_set_object_terms(123, array('gingham','plain'), tag_pattern)
wp_set_object_terms(123, array('42.00','50.00'), tag_price)
wp_set_object_terms(123, array('56,79','89,84'), tag_xy)
 
/* Approach 2 - create 1 custom taxonomy which includes a nested array of each tag and corresponding parts  */
