Hi y’ll

here is a functionality I expected to be: one click to open a window, paste a URL and be done. And for a hover effect the choice between a couple of effects. No such thing here. I cannot get either to work. Here to explain in detail, supported by screenshots.

1. my setup for permalinks

2. I go to the portfolio page and press Add New, go for Image

3. get this box. Nothing there yet where to put a URL in. I press Add picture

4. this window opens, nothing here for a URL

5. when the picture is in place I click the little pencil in the circle I am back at window 4

6. on the other hand, if I insert a picture into the text editor 

7. this pops up and I can fill in the URL

8. Likewise if I double click the picture in the text editor, the little pencil comes up and brings me here

Let me not go into the different permutations of options I went through to achieve any one hover effect. None worked.

What's wrong with my setup?

Thank you for your patience, Goso

Hi Art

I am not sure how to do that. Which file and where do I find it? If anything I tight the file is on the server of my hosting provider.

Goso

Hi Art,

please tell me which file you mean and where I find it.

Kindly

Hi Art,

aha, if it’s that I can send you the screenshots. I turned them into a pdf  because only a certain number of screenshots are allowed to ship at one time. So I'll do it in two

and the second batch

Hi Art,

I just had a professional here and he showed me how to set up the portfolio page so that it offers links to follow-up pages. I just didn’t know and set it up wrong.

If I cannot crack it, I will get back to you

Kindly, Goso

Hi Art,

I still haven’t figured out how to properly set up a portfolio structure. When I chose lets say the Zig Zag portfolio and pull a picture into the text editor I can give this picture a URL where to go to when I click it. Not so the pictures I set up in the Zig Zag portfolio. There is no  field anywhere to put the  URL.

It seems to work somehow if I set up portfolio categories, put in a preview picture or whatever you call the picture box under the Porfolio Category box. And somewhere around there I lost it. 

Is that WP specific or Kalium/Laborator specific? Do you have a Tutorial for Dummies about that?

Clueless Goso

Hi Art, now that I know how not to do it,  please give me a step by step explanation how to do it. Something like this:

1. select portfolio category

2. create a new category, let’s call it Collection

3. Go (where now?) and select the layout for this category, let’s say Zig Zag

4. Fill in the pictures, one for each portfolio item you want to link to

5. go to All Porfolio items, to the item  you want to link with one of the pictures in the Collections category, go to QuickEdit and tick the category "Collection".

6. Add the "Beitragsbild" on the right of the page, pick the picture that corresponds with the picture in the Collection category.

7. - 12.  Lorem ipsum lorem ipsum

You see, I could go on and on with all  the foggy or laborious explanations I found in the Internet. They all end up not working for me. The Laborator Documentation doesn’t offer anything like that at all.

I hope I will ever make this work

Hi Art,

hard to believe, I finally managed to build my first portfolio. And here is a question to my second one: 

The first portfolio is a one column masonry layout. If I want a two or three column masonry for another portfolio category, will that change my first one?

Kind regards, Goso
