Add Read More to Portfolio

[mw]

Hi,

I want to show Video thumbs on my portfoliopage as a teaser.
How can I add a read more link to my post? If I show a “video” (thumb or lightbox) there is no way to view the whole portfolio-article …

Can I chang it that way:
a) thumbnail is a picture (no problem)
b) click on thumb opens the video in lightbox (no problem)
c) heading should link to item page (dont know how)
d) a read more linked to item page (dont know how)

thanks for help!

Hi mw,

for the read more-link, you can use the custom-excerpt-box.
Just put an anchor-tag with
href="?portfolio=your_portfolio_item_here"
or the whole permalink of the item in the custom-excerpt box of your portfolio item.

Can be seen in action
here
(Scroll down page till you see red icon with ‘JJK produktion’ underneath)
Actually this link leads to a PDF (which is not present right now 😉 ), but you can insert any URL in the anchor tag.

Best greetings,

thosch

PS: I have no solution for changing the header-link, but maybe the read more is sufficient enough

Hi,

For the heading to link to the portfolio item page, you would need to edit this file:

flexform\includes\page-builder\composer\lib\shortcodes\portfolio.php

On line 214, you would need to change this:

$link_config = 'href="'.$thumb_img_url.'" class="view"';

into this:

$link_config = 'href="'.$permalink.'" class="link-to-post"';

Note that this is a theme file edit, meaning you would need to redo it each time after you update the theme.
