Extending Portfolio Pro Plugin

[westerdaled]

I have testing out the plugin to see how it renders. Once I figured out I needed to publish my (test) Portfolio Items for them to be surfaced on the /mydomain/archive url, I was good to go. No draft preview unfortunately ;-(

Now, what if I want to use the same grid like view on the same site but say filtered on certain Portfolio types.

Do we take a copy of the Plugin and make some changes or do we try out another plugin? I
can see having various lists of resources being quite a good feature.

Hello

The Portfolio Pro plugin includes templates which you can copy over to your child theme and modify for use on certain Portfolio taxonomy types using the WordPress Template Hierarchy to name the templates.

A better option is to copy over the templates from the Minimum Pro child theme, rename theme and modify them according to your needs.

What do you mean by filter?

Hi

Thanks for replying. I can see from the Portfolio Pro source, that I have:

- archive-portfolio.phhp
- single-portfolio.php
- taxonomy-portfolio.php

Unless there is a blog / post or HowTo guide on how to modify these, I guess I could progress through the WordPress Readme you refer to. I only have Metro Pro and Executive Pro Themes and not Minimum Pro Theme. Is there a discount for or those who just want the templates? 😉

The filtering I was referring to was to dynamically show Portfolio items based on user Portfolio Types. I can see a few use cases for this UI.

What specific modification do you want to do to the templates and what is your level of PHP knowledge?

1. You can buy the theme and modify the templates yourself

or

2. Use the templates in this tutorial which includes modification support.

Hi

Thanks for following this up. I am an IT Consultant by trade and I have built a few (simple) site plugins. My favourite IDE is Visual Studio Code + PhP support and it even integrates with GIT. Hence, I am happy to step through the tutorial steps in the link.
