[Plugin: Arconix Portfolio Gallery] Linking to a Page

    Love this plugin, but it’s imperative for my work that I link the portfolio image to a separate, individual page of my choosing. In your wiki you write:

    “Image is the only supported attribute at this time. Setting that value to page would require the user to create a “single-portfolio.php” file, write the code necessary to handle a page dedicated to that post type and place that file in their theme’s directory. Since each theme’s structure is different, there’s no real way for the plugin to be able to natively handle that.”

    Can you elaborate on this? Like, for dummies? I get that each theme is unique, but if you could identify the properties / code (maybe an example of some sort?) it would go a long way in helping me achieve it.

    I’m very much so willing to put in the work to make linking each image to a unique page.

    Great work on the plugin! I look forward to your response.

  • Ok, thanks for the tips. Unfortunately I haven’t had success yet. I still am trying to creat two different Portfolios – One called Portfolio and the other called Experiences

    I tried 2 ways.

    First, I tried adding a second class called ‘/class-experience.php’ and then adapting ‘plugin.php’ to create two different custom post types: 1 for portfolio and another for experience. This never worked and after a few hours of guesswork, tried option 2.

    Second option, I duplicated the entire plugin and replaced ‘portfolio’ with ‘experience’ everywhere. This worked great, except for 2 issues. 1 is minor: it seems only 1 dashboard image will show up, even after changing the image and making sure the image filename is adapted. This is minor. The Second issue is Major: The Features don’t show up for my second portfolio!

    I was wondering if you might know off the top of your head, why the Features option does not show up? I realize this way is not elegant, but it will do the trick for me.

    Thanks a lot

    The Features don’t show up for my second portfolio!

    Why do you want to add ‘features’ to your second post type? Registering the same taxonomy with a different post type will essentially leave you in exactly the same boat as you’re in now. IMO, you’d be better off changing ‘features’ to ‘locations’ and seeing if that gets you up and running.

    i see your point – and it resolved my issue. thanks for all your help.
