Set-up Custom Link for Portfolio Item

[lazydays]

Hi there,
I need each Portfolio Item to link to a custom URL – not the portfolio item page. Also the custom URL needs to load in the same tab _self. I read another similar support thread and I have tried editing the sf-portfolio.php as follows:
I have changed: $permalink = get_permalink();
To this: $item_link = sf_get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘sf_portfolio_external_link’, true);
But this just links back / reloads the main portfolio page… hmm…
Can you offer any other suggestions or guidance?
Thanks,
Sue

Hi

In the Portfolio Meta Options, go to thumbnail options and set to external url

Hi kyle,
I have already set the Thumbnail Meta Options to link to an Extrnale URL.

The main Portfolio picture now links to my external URL but the Portfolio Item Title still links to the portfolio page – I need all links to go to my external link. Is this possible?
Also when I include the portfolio widget in my sidebar (e.g.: http://lazydaystest.lazydays.ie/blog/) the thumbnails link to the portfolio page – in this instance I also need the thumbnails to link to my external link. Is this possible?
I have external product & booking pages so this is essential to the page flow for my site!
Fingers crossed,
Sue

Hi Sue,

Unfortunately this is not possible without extensive modifications. You can hire a developer to assist you:

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply.
I can always hide the portfolio widget in the sidebar…
Just to be sure: Is it not possible even for the Portfolio Item Title to link to an external URL?
Or is my only option (without hiring a developer) to turn off the portfolio title?
Thanks for your help.

Hi

You can keep the title, just disable the link with this css:

.portfolio-item-details .link-to-post {
  pointer-events: none;
}

Hi Kyle,

I have the same issue. I need to link to a specific URL (image & title/subtitle). Unfortunately your css code is not working. I want to disable title, if possible also subtitle. Please, could you help me?

Best regard,
