Grid of featured images in Minimum Pro

[bd]

I need to create a portfolio like grid of featured images (with the post title but no text whatsoever) on certain pages (not the homepage and not the portfolio page) in Minimum Pro.

Like the portfolio images, the grid images would link to/open the most recent post. (At this stage I'm not sure if the solution is custom posts or usual blog posts in particular categories or tags) .

If possible, an overlay/caption/fade on rollover/hover would be a great advantage. Ideally, I could choose between how many columns (2, 3 or 4) to show.

Thank you in advance for any suggestion.

You mean a template or archive? Hard to understand exactly what you need to do.

What you can do is use a template of widgets and populate them with the genesis featured posts widgets.

Thank you Brad.

Could you recommend some tutorial for creating a template of widgets?

As to whether I mean a template or archive, I'm not exactly sure what is the best solution. What I wish is a portfolio-like page (gallery), of which the images open posts; these gallery images must be the featured images of the posts (possibly with a hovering effect), but without text form the post.

Minimum Pro only has one portfolio page, so I cannot use it elsewhere on the site. Moreover, it only has two columns, while I need three or four for this particular page.

You can use Mimimum Pro's portfoliuo page and create custom taxonomies like categories.

You will need to add support for taxonomies which i have written a tutorial for.

You can also use a portfolio template for a category archive or code a template with widgets and use the featured posts widgets http://wpsites.net/web-design/flexible-responsive-widgets-template-for-genesis/

Thank you Brad.

Creating custom taxonomies will result in all the categories' being in the default two columns format or can various categories be tweaked in css (say the default one, on the default portfolio page, in two colums and another, on another page, in three columns) ?

It runs on the power of Genesis and WordPress so its highly flexible.

Working on a complex setup now for a client and finding it very easy to customize.

Yes, you can create unlimited custom tax archive pages and style them differently using custom body classes which means you can have a different amount of columns and width for each archive.

You can also add support for Genesis Simple Sidebars with different widths and styling for each custom sidebar.

Very easy in my opinion.

Thank you. I have added a taxonomy to the portfolio following this tutorial: http://dreamwhisperdesigns.com/genesis-tutorials/add-taxonomy-minimum-theme-portfolio/.

You suggest to create custom tax archive pages and use custom body classes. How to use custom body classes in the newly created portfolio-type archive pages (which technically are neither pages nor posts if I'm not mistaken)?

Thank you for any further suggestion.
