Using the Portfolio posts – formatting not right

  Hi,
  I have started using Portfolio functionality – which in theory is exactly what I need for a part of my website
  .
  However when I add some projects to a post using the code in the Forum the appearance of the Project is not great – see http://e3tc.com/2011/12/21/technology-services/

  The most annoying problem is that the text for the project breaks in a random place and does not use the normal ‘break/more’ command that is entered for that post. Furthermore it does not show a button to ‘Read’ more.

  The second issue is that the heading text is very big compared to the rest of the blog.

  Is there anything I can do to fix these problems? I use this format on 7 pages/posts.

  Thanks for your help

  Ron

  Hi Ron,

  Editing the Portfolio’s excerpt currently isn’t customizable like it is in Posts. I’ve submitted a request for that feature to our developers.

  Since you have the custom design upgrade, you could implement some custom CSS to adjust the font-size of a portfolio project’s title.

  Perhaps this code would be useful:

  h2.portfolio-entry-title{
  	font-size: 110%;
  }

  Best,

  Hi Alex,

  Thanks for the CSS code – worked a treat

  Pity about the functionality on the post excerpts for portfolio. Will you let me know if and when this will be sorted, as I intend to carry on using the portfolio feature.

  Hi Ron,

  A developer spent some time this, and now Excerpts and More Tags can be used in Portfolio Projects.

  I did a little testing and found it to work the same way as it does in Posts.

  Let me know if you hit any snags implementing these!
