Convert "Features" selection menu to list box?

Are you talking about from the admin side or from the front end side?

Backend: Possible through the use of another, different metabox
Frontend: Possible but at this point only through the modification of core plugin files as I don’t have any filters in place to support modification outside of the plugin itself.

Hi John,

For the front end. Sorry for not being clearer.

I’d like to see if the features (the categories) menu at the top of a portfolio page can be turned into a list box, or how hard it would be.

Example here – https://www.zelky.com.au/omni/find-a-candidate

So basically have the features (ALLOCATORS/RETAIL ANALYSTS | JUNIOR MERCHANDISE PLANNER | PLANNING MANAGER | SENIOR MERCHANDISE PLANNER) in a list box, so that users can select a category in the listbox to access the candidates in that category.

No worries… It is possible, though the current version of the plugin doesn’t make it easy on you at this point. Right now you’d have to edit the portfolio_shortcode() function in the portfolio-class.php file, specifically lines 346-362.

I’m sure getting this to work would require a great deal of custom javascript, which is something I am not an expert in, unfortunately.

Hi John,

Thanks for your extensive reply.

I’m pretty lost beyond CSS which is why I thought I would ask how hard it would be to do.

I’ve added some CSS to my themes CSS file (display:inline-block and some padding) to the features menu to change the default style.

I’m pretty happy with how it looks now, and the friend I am doing the work for is really happy with the way we are using the portfolio plugin to display candidates for employment.

I was doing it as an example but he will probably end up using the example to set up the “Find Your Ideal Candidate” page at his actual website.

Happy Easter and thanks again John!
