First, congratulations for your excellent theme.

The question I have is about the masonry 3D cube portfolio. How could I display item category description on mouse over.(instead of category name).

Hope you can help.

Hey,

you will have to amend the PHP template for the portfolio shortcode. And find the place where the category is displayed and instead of the name, display other data.

Have a look at this thread:

Override shortcode template in a child theme

In your case you need to be working with “ish_portfolio.php” file.

Lastly no, was too optimistic. Have changed line 418 in ish_portfolio.php like so:
$return .= ‘’ . $category_description . ‘’;

$return .= ‘’ . category_description() . ‘’;

but must be doing something wrong. If you see it at first sight, let me know please, if not do not worry, I understand that this is not really a kind of question to ask support from.

Regards

Hi,

the problem in your examples are that you have tried to first access a variable that does not exist. And in the second a function that does not exist.

If you view the original code you will see that we have used a variable “$category”. Now you should look for this variable in the code to see where a value is assigned to it.

Yo will find it in these lines:

if ( '' == $category && '' == $first_category ) { $first_category = $term->name; }
if ( '' == $category && 0 != $term->parent ) { $category = $term->name; }

1 2	if ( '' == $category && '' == $first_category ) { $first_category = $term->name; } if ( '' == $category && 0 != $term->parent ) { $category = $term->name; }

okay so we are getting some value from the $term object and we are getting the property “name”.

So what the heck is this $term object and what other values does it have? Lets see how the $term is created:

$terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'portfolio-category' );

So we are using the “get_the_terms()” function to get all terms and then choose the first one. Well let’s have a look what info this function provides. Let’s check the codex:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_terms

We can find in there that:

Each term object will contain the following fields:

stdClass Object
(
    [term_id] =>
    [name] =>
    [slug] =>
    [term_group] => 
    [term_order] => 
    [term_taxonomy_id] =>
    [taxonomy] =>
    [description] => 
    [parent] =>
    [count] =>
    [object_id] =>
)

stdClass Object

(

[term_id] =>

[name] =>

[slug] =>

[term_group] =>

[term_order] =>

[term_taxonomy_id] =>

[taxonomy] =>

[description] =>

[parent] =>

[count] =>

[object_id] =>

)

Cool so there is “description”. Well let’s use “$term->description” instead of “$term->name”.

// Code updated by moliner - should double check it in next theme update 
if ( '' == $category && '' == $first_category ) { $first_category = $term->description; }
if ( '' == $category && 0 != $term->parent ) { $category = $term->description; }

// Code updated by moliner - should double check it in next theme update

if ( '' == $category && '' == $first_category ) { $first_category = $term->description; }

if ( '' == $category && 0 != $term->parent ) { $category = $term->description; }

Tadaaaa ;) Hope this helps
