Integration with Isotope filter – date filter applicable to portfolio items

Dear support,

I am working with the following wordpress theme: http://billykids-lab.net/division/
The theme suits my needs almost perfectly. The only thing I miss is the ability to use the portfolio filter visible in the left sidebar on portfolio page, which is applicable to the visible portfolios, in the form of a datepicker. That’s where my interest for Search & Filter Pro comes in.

What I am trying to create is in short the following:
FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATION
1. Widget (plugin) that integrates with the readily available DIVISION wordpress template.
2. Widget should leave the current filter visible in the left sidebar intact.
3. Widget should extend the existing filter by providing a datepicker.
4. Widget only applies to portfolio page.
5. When date is selected, the date should filter the portfolios linked to the specific date.
6. In wordpress admin interface; single portfolio setup (Edit Portfolio Item) the page builder settings should allow for easy selecting unlimited amount of dates to be ON/OFF for that specific portfolio item.
7. Date selection (setting ON/OFF) for each specific portfolio item is done per single date.
8. Selecting multiple dates to set all their status to ON respectively OFF is desired but not mandatory.
9. By default a date status is set to OFF.
10. Look and feel should be equal to and adapt with allowed changes in the DIVISION wordpress theme.

For creating the current portfolio filter the isotope plugin is used: http://isotope.metafizzy.co/v1/index.html

Questions (1): Is there an easy way to integrate your Search & Filter with the use of Isotope so that I get the functionality described above?

Question (2): How can I best ad multiple dates to a single Portfolio item and filter on these when a single date is selected?

Thank you!

Hi there

Ok so I think I roughly follow but some of that info is very specific to your project.

So to answer your questions:

1) S&F can use isotope in a layout, you can customise S&F templates just like WP templates, so this is entirely possible if you have the knowledge to implement isotope with WordPress yourself. The only thing is, as you filter, you won’t get that nice isotope re-arranging effect – just like in the demos – we have a fade in / out – which you can override with a JS event.

2) I’m not sure what you are trying to do here – do you want to add multiple, individual specific dates to your posts, and then have a regular date picker show results that match any of these dates?

Thanks
