Hi I’m trying to find information about how to support multiple portfolios in a theme, for example give the ability to the user to create different portfolios, one for design, other for videos, etc.

If someone has an idea of how to do that i’ll appreciate your help :) .

I allow the user to create multiple custom shortcodes in my latest theme. Then the user can enter that shortcode to a page making multiple galleries.

I also used a shortcode to accomplish this in my theme. The user can specify a category, for example, and a Portfolio will be generated from posts in that category. You could create any number of Portfolios this way. i.e.

[portfolio category="Design"]

on one page and

[portfolio category="Photography"]

on another page.

Of course, you can offer lots of other options to customize the portfolios if you want, too. With the new Custom Post Types you could get even more creative with this. Good luck!

Thank’s for your responses, in my theme I’m using custom posts types for the portfolio so i was wondering in the custom posts type portfolio the user can add all his projects, etc. and then add the category of that project for example web design or video, etc. but what if i want to use a filter bar in the portfolio, the filter bar will use all the categories inside the custom post type portfolio.

I’m a little confused, i think will use the shortcodes but how can i implement a shortcode to display all the projects inside a category of a custom post type?

Again thank’s for your responses :)

I think you’ll find what you need if you review this page http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query

I’d pay specific attention to the category_name and post_type parameters. Just pass the category via the shortcode.
