Retrieve single term slug

Question
I'm creating common "Single Tag Page" for different Post Types.
I'm using next code:
$loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'any', 'tag' => single_term_title( '', false ), 'posts_per_page' => 10 ) );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
<?php endwhile; // End the loop. ?>
It works fine until there is no taxonomy terms conflict.
For example:
If I have Category & Tag names - "Videos", Category will have slug - "/videos" & Tag "/videos-2".
In case when slug isn't the same as taxonomy name above code does not working.
I need an alternative function for single_term_title(), something like "single_term_slug()".
Any ideas?
P.S. I was thinking about "get_term_by()" function, but I didn't had luck to adopt it to the code above.
Updated: I've posted my code below.
Solution
Thank you guys for such quick response. Much appreciated!
Here is code for "global" Tags page (displaying terms of default 'post_tag' taxonomy):
<?php
$term_slug = get_queried_object()->slug;
if ( !$term_slug )
return;
else
$loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'any', 'tag' => $term_slug, 'posts_per_page' => 10 ) );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
<?php endwhile; // End the loop. ?>
And the next code example is for custom taxonomy query (displaying terms of custom taxonomy):
<?php
//http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters
$term_slug = get_queried_object()->slug;
if ( !$term_slug )
return;
else
$args = array(
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'gallery_category',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => $term_slug,
'posts_per_page' => 10
)
)
);
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
<?php endwhile; // End the loop. ?>
OTHER TIPS
There is a reference to the term object in $wp_query
, and a shortcut function to grab this (providing you are running WordPress 3.1): get_queried_object()
.
So, to get the slug you would do echo get_queried_object()->slug;
If you are not running WordPress 3.1, you will have to call the get_queried_object()
on the global $wp_query
:
global $wp_query;
echo $wp_query->get_queried_object()->slug;
Here is a forked single_term_slug()
function out of single_term_title()
function single_term_slug( $prefix = '', $display = true ) {
$term = get_queried_object();
if ( !$term )
return;
if ( is_category() )
$term_slug = apply_filters( 'single_cat_slug', $term->slug );
elseif ( is_tag() )
$term_slug = apply_filters( 'single_tag_slug', $term->slug );
elseif ( is_tax() )
$term_slug = apply_filters( 'single_term_slug', $term->slug );
else
return;
if ( empty( $term_slug ) )
return;
if ( $display )
echo $prefix . $term_slug;
else
return $term_slug;
}
