End Notes:
To change style colors or other css changes use override.css or edit

Code: Select all

templates/gk_creativity/html/com_k2/templates/portfolio/style.css


Filter Tags are limited to items you are seeing in your page. If you have pagination enabled filter tags will show only for items in current view.

If you have missing icons in sorting section then you don't have font-awesome feature in your template, please update to latest version of your template.

I will be updating this style with other item views when time permits.

Any problems post in here.

See you around...

Hi, nice function and description.
When klick the links I get no result. There are no articles/images at all displayed.

However I already had a portfolio category with three sub categories. I just applyed your info on those.

What can be wrong you think?

Regards
Andy

Sorry for the delay, please see attached file in this reply. I haven't had time to check it with latest releases as I was away due to health issues. Let me know if there is any problems.

Can I use this for Game template? I am looking for add-on templates for Game since that has default option only.
