A portfolio component, where multiple samples of work (projects), in different categories, can be shown. WYSIWYG editor used for editing descriptions. Up to 9 images per project, upload from back-end. Supports Joom!Fish for translations. Introduces installable Themes for easy customization. Sef_ext.php for sh404SEF/ OpenSEF included.

Front-end view defined by Theme or CSS file, which can be changed and edited from back-end. Few sample CSS files are included. For best results, sizes of images used should correspond to sizes of divs in CSS file.

Portfolio images stored by default in images/stories/, ("base path" in configuration). Category images should be located in this folder. Each category must have a folder, where images for projects are stored.

After installation, there should be the example category with sample projects created (if "install sample portfolio" option was chosen). Example folder should be created also (test_jportfolio) with images in it.
After creating menu position pointing to the component, the following parameters can be changed: back button, page navigation and default number of projects displayed.

Sef_ext.php for sh404SEF/ OpenSEF included, creating urls like: example.com/3-category-name/24-project-name/.

Themes

JPortfolio supports installable Themes. A Theme is a package (zip file) containing CSS file and images, and (optionally) view files (jp_categories.php, jp_category.php, jp_project.php) defining the way component displays all information in the front-end. A Theme is installed similarly to the way a template is installed in Joomla!.
