Harmonic theme: consistency between portfolio shortcode and tag pages
-
If I include the portfolio shortcake on a page in harmonic theme, I can control if the tags, types are displayed, and the content of the portfolio type before a More content split.
If I select a portfolio item, it will display and show the types and tags in the left column. Selecting one of these, goes to a page listing all of the tags/types that match, but it now looks different to the initial page.
Is there any way to control the consistency in how portfolio items are displayed? Eg. I’d like to show that items with a particular tag, could belong to different types. So items with the, e.g. architecture tag, could be of type photo, or of type writing.
At the moment, this leads to a confusing user experience when navigating around.

The page http://martynjbull.net/portfolio/ displays your four projects. The project archives page http://martynjbull.net/project-tag/technology-2/ displays all of the projects with a technology tag. Since each of the four projects has a technology tag, the two pages look exactly the same, except that the first is titled “Portfolio,” and the second is titled “Technology.” Conversely, the archives page for the tag “Big Data” has only there projects, because only three of the four projects have been assigned that tag.
Could you provide an example to illustrate the issue you’re seeing?

Yes, those two pages are consistent.
However, I wish to pull out selected content into a page. For example, http://martynjbull.net/films/.
In this page, I use the portfolio shortcode:
[portfolio display_types=true display_tags=true display_content=true include_type=film-2 include_tag=big-data-2 columns=3 showposts=10 orderby=title]If, after a user navigates to a project they click on a tag, they end up at the archive page, e.g. http://martynjbull.net/project-tag/big-data-2/
This archive page is then different in layout – it does not show the content, tags, or type. There is then no way to identify if a portfolio item is of type ‘film’ or of type ‘writing’ on the archive page.
I can’t identify a way to make these archive pages look similar to layouts specified via the portfolio shortcode.

I understand. Project tag pages such as http://martynjbull.net/project-tag/big-data-2/ are automatically generated. You’d have to resort to css customization, I think, in order to modify them so that they might include tags and types. Either that or some type of redirect code, which would redirect selected links (tags, and types) that are presently pointing at generic archives pages, such as in the example given above, to specially constructed pages, using short code, which include the tags and types. Note, however, that if you can accomplish that, then the specially constructed archives pages themselves will have links that must again go to either automatically generated pages or other specially constructed pages. It looks like you might get stuck in an infinite loop, but I’m rather out of my realm on this issue.
I’ll tag the topic for Staff attention.

I see what you are asking, but the flexibility offered by the shortcode isn’t available on the archives page. The only way to make the pages match is to make the shortcode pages look like the archive pages.
