Hi there.

I was wondering, seeing as the entries are custom post types, would it be possible to make a timeline for the portfolio?
If so, any idea? I suppose it would have to be made to fetch only custom portfolio posts but I honestly don't know how to do that.

Thanks :)

Hi OttoRobba,

In order to do a timeline, I believe the easiest option would be to use a plugin. Here's a Google search:

I was thinking of using the default timeline template that is included with the theme. If that is not possible, one of the plugins seems to do the trick - quite like the Choice's timeline though. :)

Hi OttoRobba,

D'oh. Sorry, I forgot all about the built-in timeline. :)

To do a timeline for the portfolio:

1) Open template-post-timeline.php, save as template-portfolio-timeline.php

2) At the top template-portfolio-timeline.php replace
```
/*
Template Name: Post Timeline
*/
```
with
```
/*
Template Name: Portfolio Timeline
*/
```
3) Replace this line

query_posts(array('posts_per_page'=>-1));

with this line

query_posts(array('post_type' => 'portfolio','posts_per_page'=>-1));

4) Upload your new template to the theme directory then go to Pages > Your Timeline Page and select Portfolio Timeline from the drop down list under "Templates" in the "Page Attributes" box.

That's it.
