   I would like to recreate this page for my portfolio page.

   http://themes.mysitemyway.com/awake/galleries/portfolio-1-column/

   I got this far with instructions:

   http://sizzlehendrix.com/gallery-of-champions/

   Not sure how to edit the right side of page to put the short code for the text and list above the read button. I would also like to change "read" to "View".

   Then once I click the "read" button, I would like my images to look like this:

   http://themes.mysitemyway.com/awake/mauris-dictum-suscipit-nullam/

   I am just not sure where to make changes. I know I need to insert short code, but not sure where.

   Also, not sure where to upload all my images. Not sure if I have to upload via media then paste URL's individually or if you recomnd a plug in for awake that will do multiple images?

   Thanks.
   Brent

   Hello bvanscoy678,

   You should be able to do this with a portfolio. Create a new page and then click on the visual editor. A black button should be visible now.. go ahead and click it and then hit the portfolio tab and you can select which options. Make sure to select 1 column to make it look like in the demo. Once you are done then you should have something like this..

   [portfolio cat=1 column=1 link=image max=9]

   Next just create some posts in the category that you chose and upload your images.. if you put your images in the "Fullsize Portfolio" option then they should show up how you want them too.

   Let us know if this helps Brent.

   Yep, I got all of that. Thanks for the quick reply.

   I changed to FULL for my option. Where do I import or put all my images for that post? In my post under "Awake Portfolio Options"? Portfolio gallery image?

   How do I put more than one image in?

   Once I get several images in, then I can try to accomplish the second part.

   I can see now, that the 2nd part will be putting in shortcode for the galleria

   Ok, Got it.

   There was a check mark to disable full size image on blog portfolio post.

   Hi guys, I'm having a hard time understanding this one.

   I would like to make a video gallery using a 1 column portfolio page. Just like this one:
   http://themes.mysitemyway.com/awake/galleries/portfolio-1-column/

   But I don't want to have the read more button: just the video (I just want a video instead of an image) and a brief description on the side: Title, date, small description and that's it.

   Basically the user will click on the video, light-box effect and the video will play.

   Can you please tell me how to do this?

   Hello fabiandesimone,

   You will need to follow the instructions as above and then in your posts you will need to set a URL pointing to your video (vimeo or youtube) inside the portfolio video link (see attached image).

   And then if you want to disable the read more link scroll down some more and check the "Disable Read More Link" option.

   Let us know if this works for you fabiandesimone.

    Hello nasyademich,

    You also need to place an image in the "Portfolio Fullsize Image" option. It's the one that says "required" by the side. See here for more info, http://mysitemyway.com/support/topic/needed-step-by-step-instruction-on-using-the-portfolio-option

    Hello Elliot! Thank you for quick responce!
    but i'd tried to do this before i wrote to you! the picture is not shown in portfolio page - only READ MORE button. and in the post itself there is a continuosly loading circle without any picture...
    the picture is located in: wp-content/preview/video1.jpg on my local server (at the same place as a site itself)
    so where am i going wrong?

    Hi nasyademich,

    Please try pasting the full URL in the image field. So, for example, your URL will be something like this:

    http://localhost/mywebsite/wp-content/preview/video1.jpg

    yes! i've ment exactly the same:-)
    i decided to resize my image to dimensions 945 x 516 as described in "Portfolio Fullsize Image (required) [+] more info"
    and it works for viewing a fullsize picture now!
    but video still not working and thumbnails as well...
    so i think the problem can be in picture resizer...
    i've uploaded the last version of prettyPhoto script... i've read this troubleshooting article: http://www.elegantthemes.com/troubleshooting-timthumb.html
    i don't no if i need to give any permissions to the cache folder and how to do this on a local machine...

    still no image portfolio no video gallery not working for me!

    i'm working on a local server:-) so even if i give you WP login information - it won't help!:-)
    as to video it's started to work after resizing full preview image manually in Photoshop and pasting a link to it in "Portfolio Gallery Image" field.
    so i guess the problem is somehow connected with image resizer script...
    am i need to activate something or this script doesn't work on a local machine?

    another question:
    is there any script to make videogallery page layout like here: http://www.apple.com/ipad/#smart-cover
    I like the idea of video displayed above the thumbs instead of lightbox...
    i don't know much about JavaScript so i need a basic "how to" or any other help if it's possible!

    Hi Elliot!
    i've just resolved the problem with timthumb due to this topic on the forum:
    http://mysitemyway.com/support/topic/timthumb-workaround-curious-why?replies=6#post-17018
    i got a new file from this topic - thumb.php and put it in the infocus/lib/scripts folder.
    now the resizer works perfectly!

    Hmm, that is pretty interesting. Thanks for posting your solution nasyademich. They must have improved upon it in a few ways.
