Trying to pull info from different PHP files – Cherry framework

On filterable-portfolio-loop.php page this code exists which displays a URL
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php $title = the_title('','',FALSE); echo substr($title, 0, 40); ?></a></h3>

I am trying to change <?php the_permalink(); ?> to a differnt source of information located on a seperate PHP page so I can display the information from this code ‘$portfolioURL’ which is a part of loop-single-portfolio.php

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

here is the code from the page i am trying to get the info from

<?php /* Loop Name: Single Portfolio */ ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<!--BEGIN .hentry -->
	<div <?php post_class(); ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

						break;

					case "Slideshow":
						tz_gallery($post->ID, 'portfolio-main');
						break;
