not a support questionHi,
Is there a way to change the link on the thumbnail images in the portfolio to not link to the post with the graphic in but to a different post or page? I am wanting to write about the project, but when I do that now it appears on the portfolio page under the thumbnails.

Hey,
replace following code in template_portfolio.php:
echo '<a href="'.$portfolio_image.'" rel="lightbox[portfolio]"><img class="aligncenter" src="'.$portfolio_image_small.'" alt="" /></a>';with:
echo '<a href="'.get_post_meta($post->ID, 'url', true).'" rel="lightbox[portfolio]"><img class="aligncenter" src="'.$portfolio_image_small.'" alt="" /></a>';Afterwards you must set post meta fields in all your portfolio posts. Call the fields "url" and type in the websites' adresses or page/post urls as values.
I too would like the text on portfolio items to link to a separate post with descriptions of each project. I wasn't able to get it working though. I replaced the original line of code with the new one that you have posted. I then created a custom field titled url and set the value to the url of the post with description. However, when I view my portfolio, it still links to the original post with the full size image instead of the one with my description.
Did I misunderstand the directions, or is there something missing here?
Sure, you can find my website at:
Let me know if there is anything else that I can do to help.
Thanks!
Edit: I thought this might help.
This is the post that contains the uploaded image, but it's not the one that I want to link to.

In the custom fields of this post I see the information for the portfolio-image, portfolio-image-small and I also see the url field which has a value of http://smithdavid.net/photography-pinhole-assignment/
-----------------------------------------
This is the post that will contain my description of the project.

Currently there are no custom fields for this post. It is part of my Portfolio category however.
Can you post the content of template_portfolio.php - your portfolio code here: http://smithdavid.net/uploadpinhole/ sems to be unmodified so my custom link hack can't work :)
Pelease use a service like http://pastebin.com to post the code.
Here is the link to the code.
If this isn't what you were looking for, please let me know and I'll get what you need. I also took a screenshot of the settings I've applied to http://smithdavid.net/uploadpinhole/
I think I found a work around for this. I went into the single.php file and deleted the instance where it was calling the full sized image. I then went into the template_portfolio.php file and deleted the instance where it called for the excerpt. This results in me being able to use the original post for my intended purposes, without the clutter of a second post for each portfolio item.
If you see any obvious flaw in my logic, please let me know, otherwise I think I may have found something that works for me.
I pasted the "echo '';"
And the titles are still there...

I want the "text" where " Driveway 1.2" deleted off and all the rest of them on the portfolio..
Thanks
