multiple categories

[mm]

Ciao Armin,

Thank you so much, the explanation makes pretty much sense ;)

It's perfectly ok regarding the front-end, yes it was something to have a "proper" categorization of hybrid projects in the back end – no worries though, it's not an issue at all.

Hey Armin,

Now with the "Thumbnail Grid" would be good to have an option to can have multiple categories in order to be able to "filter" projects automatically. Let me know if it makes sense.

Thanks!

Hi @arminunruh, I just discovered lay theme a few weeks ago and I have to say is awesome!

We are creating a museum and gallery website using lay theme and this feature @man said is what we miss to filter and relate artworks to artists easily instead of manually.

Thanks in advance

[arminunruh]

Thx!

ok so you want to be able to filter project thumbnails. like here for example http://meireundmeire.com/category/selected-projects/

[jocelot]

@arminunruh Yes! and like is happening there, some projects are using more than one category.

@arminunruh Indeed, this filter function would be very useful, I was looking for it too!

[arminunruh]

Ok, need to work on this :D

@arminunruh Hi Armin, any luck so far with this filter function?

[mariusjopen]

Hi sjg123,

so far we did not complete this issue. We are working on a big Update for Laytheme in general and might include it in one of the coming releases.

Thank you for waiting! :-)

hi marius and armin, are there any news with the filter function? it would be great to have more than one category to eject. the sample from meiré meiré is great! i would like to use the "thumbnail grid" and want to show on the frontpage a selection of projects. it would be great if you can help! and by the way i don´t use the "next project" button, i only want a new category where i can put in selected works.
cheers r

Hi ruwie!

No news yet. Sorry to disappoint! We got it on the screen but the next release is not finished yet! :-)

Some things need time :-)

Thank you for your patience!

Hi, any News for the possibility to add multiple categories to a project.
(Or maybe as an alternative adding tags to projects?)

Kind regards
Ulf

Hi guys!

Also super curious about whether there are any news about this or possible release date?

cheers,

yes please: with multiple categories Lay would be unbeatable! With a Blog option and hierarchical menus extra-unbeatable.

[mariusjopen]

Hello @badjuju
we see if we can implement it in the near future!

Until then: Merry Christmas!

@arminunruh
hi,
Now is there any way to make "next project link" goes to the next project of the same category, even if the project has multiple categories?

[mariusjopen]

Dear @matteo
until now there is not an option for multiple categories.

Best!

Marius

The only solution I came up with is when I finish my website, I will duplicate all projects so they exist twice. The homepage will show all projects that belong to the "all" category, while my categories will show them again but each in their own category.

This way, clicking on a project from the homepage will take you through all ("all") projects, whereas clicking to select a category will take you to the next category project.

It's not ideal, but if the site is small, and not regularly updated, it could be a (sort of) solution.
