How to use sub portfolio items

Hi, Jack.

You could modify the portfolio archive to only show top-level portfolio items (omitting any items with a parent), and also alter the portfolio single item template to show any child items (so buildings would show your sub-items/rooms/apartments).

I don’t have custom code for that modification, but you’re welcome to ask in the StudioPress forums or hire a Genesis developer for help.

You could alternatively use portfolio types for your buildings and portfolio items for the rooms / apartments:

1. Create a Portfolio Type for each building at Portfolio Items → Portfolio Types.

2. Add an optional description and picture of the building by editing the portfolio type and filling in the “Archive Intro Text”.

3. Create rooms/apartments as portfolio items, and assign them to the relevant building using the “portfolio type” box when you edit the portfolio item.

This would give you a page for each building at /portfolio-type/name-of-building/ that shows all portfolio items / rooms belonging to that building.

You would then need to create a page showing all buildings (portfolio types), either manually or by writing custom code for this.

If you only need images and not much text content for each page, you could alternatively look into gallery plugins such as Envira Gallery or Photo Gallery. These allow you to create “albums” (you could use one for each building), each containing a group of images (one for each room/apartment). For example: https://enviragallery.com/demo/albums-demo/.

You’re welcome, Jack! I’m glad we could help.
