multiple categories

[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.

[sjg123]

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

[arminunruh]

Ok, need to work on this :D

[sjg123]

@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.

Hey,

have there been any developments to multiple categories for the project arrows?
It would be great to have projects on the homepage and only click through them, but also have them appear on a separate Work page.

Many thanks!!

[arminunruh]

hey so this thread here is about being able to apply multiple categories to one project.
which works, and wasnt possible some years ago.

It would be great to have projects on the homepage and only click through them, but also have them appear on a separate Work page.

im not sure if i understand what you mean.

you can put a project thumbnail grid on a homepage.
you can put it on a "work" page too.

project thumbnail grid:
https://laytheme.com/documentation/gridder-elements.html#thumbnailgrid

you dont need to use category pages, you can just use normal pages and put thumbnailgrids on them.

when going inside one of the projects, you can click through them using one of these features:
https://laytheme.com/documentation/navigation-between-projects.html

it doesnt matter where you put your thumbnailgrids, you can always go prev/next inside a project.

not sure if i understand the question correctly though.
