I want to use a showcase page as a Home menu to navigate throught other pages. So, how can I make portfolio items listed in a showcase page linking at other pages than his item page ? (like contact page, about page, another showcase page, etc).
My second problem is : I want to use an other showcase page normally, to expose my creations, but this second showcase have to show different portfolio items than the first (different than the Home menu). How can I do that ?
I can understand some CSS and HTML language, so, if I have to change the code, I think it's ok, but I can't find the solution myself.
do not worry, I understand what you are trying to do.
However this is not possible in the current implementation, it can be done only with custom work.
We can add a new option in portfolio item so that the showcase slide will link to a custom url but you will still be able to navigate through ALL the portfolio items.
The solution to link to a custom URL is a thing I'm really looking for.
But after after thinking about it, If I can't create 2 distinct and not linked portfolios categories, can I make my Home menu showcase slider listing my Menu bar instead of my portfolio items ?
but for that you need to create a portfolio item to have that link. And that (dummy) portfolio item will still show in 'Next Project' navigation. Unless you want to hide the portfolio project navigation at the bottom of the portfolio page.
I think I can hide the project navigation at the bottom.
But maybe this other solution can work : making a copy of the "showcase-page.php", and rename it "showcase-menu.php" to have 2 types of showcase pages I can select.
"showcase-page.php" will still list my portfolio items, and I want "showcase-menu.php" to list my menu bar instead of my portofolio.
So I have to change the code of "showcase-menu.php" to make this page show only my menu bar, not my portfolio items.
Do you think this solution can work ? And if this work, how to do it in the code ? (I don't understand well JS and AJAX)
even if you that you would still to create portfolio items that you would see them in portfolio navigation - the showcase page display only portfolio items.
Unless you want to hide the portfolio navigation at the bottom of each portfolio page so that you will hide the dummy portfolio items representing the pages.
Ok i can hide this button, but the showcase slider will continue to show all the portfolio items. But I want 2 separate portfolios : 1 for the menu 1 for my real portfolio, with 1 slider showing the first postfolio, and 1 slider showing the second portfolio.
Yes you also need to create another template out of the original showcase template that will display only the portfolio items with the custom link not empty (the menu showcase)
Then you set all the 'menu link' portfolio items with 'Exclude from showcase' flag to true so that they will not be displayed in the original showcase.
Yes I have to do that I think. But do you know how ?
By making a copy of "showcase-page.php", I created a new page template called "showcase-menu.php", but the two pages share the exact same caracteristics.
If I exclude a portfolio item from a showcase, it exclude it from the other too.
I don't know how to do after that, because I think I have to touch the code, but I don't understand it enought.
The copy (renamed of course) will have to be modified so that will select only the portfolio items that have the custom link url not empty and will ignore the 'Exclude from showcase flag' - which has no relevance in this context.
And you can exclude them from the original showcase by setting 'Exclude from showcase' in their options.
Hope it makes sense.
We can give you a quote in a private comment if you are interested.
First thing : I dont find the "custom link url" area. Where it is ?
Second thing : How I make the modifications to make the copy select only the portfolio items that have the custom link url not empty and will ignore the 'Exclude from showcase flag' ?
I'm ok to have a quote in private comment if you can show me how to do that (because I don't understand the code).

Ok I have to understand there is no real solution for my problem.
So bad I really needed to do that. I'll search another theme that can do something similar.
Thank you for your help !
