Symplex Theme - Showing categories of portfolio in the breadcrumbs.

    When on a portfolio individual page, I would like the breadcrumb to show the category. Is there a way to do this?

    For example, this is what breadcrumbs shows when on a page:

    home >> portfolio >> item

    But this is what I would like it to say:

    home >> portfolio >> category >> item


    Also, I notice when I am on a portfolio individual page, that portfolio in the navigation is no longer the navigation current menu text color. Is there any way to fix this?

    Hi

    About the breadcrumb question, one important problem is how to show category archive page for portfolio, we will try to think a way to slove it. After this, we will add the syntax you want in breadcrumbs.

    And can you tell me how you add the portfolio single page to the menu?

    For my portfolio, I have set up 4 Categories.

    For each portfolio item, I have created a new portfolio item, and each portfolio item has 1 category selected.

    For my portfolio, I have 1 portfolio page set up, and it shows the different tabs. The only code on the portfolio page is:

    [portfolio sortable="true" sortable_all="false" sortabletype="all" current='Page Layout' desc_length='25' cat="Page Layout,Print Pre-Press,Image Manipulation,Project Management"]

    Hope this helps! I'd love to see the users be able to use the breadcrumbs to jump to the other categories, as currently each portfolio item is nested in the page. Even if it's taking the user back to the main portfolio page with the category/tab they just clicked on in the breadcrumb being in the front. Currently, they can click on Portfolio in the breadcrumbs, but as that's the exact same thing as clicking in Portfolio in the main menu, I see no reason to use it.

    Ok, I know what you need, but it's maybe a complex problem. We will try to think out a best way to solve it.

    Hi

    I think now there is a way to solve it. You can use 'Breadcrumb Parent Page' option in 'Portfolio Item Page' module to make which you want. For example:

    1. Create a portfolio index page by portfolio shortcode, this page named 'Portfolios'.

    2. Use portfolio shortcode to create the index page of each categories, like 'Cate1', 'Cate2', and then set the parent page of these categories' page to 'Portfolios'.

    3. Set 'Breadcrumb Parent Page' to the page which is the same as the category of portfolio.

    Then the category link will show in breadcrumbs of each single portfolio page.

    I see what you are saying. A work around by creating sub pages. I have done this, and I know it should be working, but now I'm getting the weirdest error, which may be some issue with wordpress & permalinks.

    I have created new pages, but the permalinks are not working for some reason. Even when I am on the page, and click "view page", I get a page not found error. This even happens if I manually cut and paste the link from the edit view of a page into a new browser window...

    I think something has happened that it is looking for a different permalink than is actually in use? Not sure.


    For example, go here, and click on Print Pre-Press in the Breadcrumbs:
    http://imageotter.com/wordpress/portfolio/magazine-layout/


    Images to show you settings as well.

    A separate issue I see that is happening (and if did this before I tried the sub pages with the breadcrumbs), is that the current page that is supposed to show up in the portfolio is not showing in the tab.

    The correct portfolio items do open, but when I first go to the portfolio pages, the tabs on all the categories look the same. It is only when I click on one of the tabs, does the line underneath the tab go away.

    Photos showing the tab when I first land on it (lines under all tabs), and the tab when I click on "page layout".

    Hi

    You can try to use 'current' param to set the current tabs.

    About the permalink's problem, can you send me a mail with the admin details and FTP server permission. I need get more details.

    You can send a mail to : jimbachen@kaptinlin.com
