Is it possible to display Sub-Categories within a portfolio instead of making articles?

Under Print Design (http://sci5.org/index.php/design), I have a sub category called Digital Media Portfolio (http://sci5.org/index.php/design/27-digital-media) that I want to be displayed on the Print Design page before arriving on the Digital Media Portfolio page.

Any thoughts?

Just an idea. Maybe you could build a ‘page’ for Portfolio on Isotope Layout display using NoNumber Articles Anywhere plugin from Peter van Westen. Would need periodic updating if it works at all, I guess.

Your site looks superb so far.

Thanks but I was wondering if it was possible to do natively without the use of other plugins though.

Hi sci5
Sorry The layout does not support further subcategories show under category tab . It only shows the article under the selected categories .
You may try the suggestion given by if it works .

Thanks Pankaj,

does the Isotope Layout support displaying tagged articles? I know its just categories in the black bar but was wondering if we can a menu of add tags there as well?

Additionally, I have several sub-categories under "Print and Digital Media" here: http://sci5.org/index.php/design

Now I understand you can’t display subcategories first before the actual article listings but since I have several subcategories under "Print and Digital Media", how can I make the articles themselves show up under this main category? It seems as though only my articles placed directly under "Print and Digital Media" are showing up.

Hi
Open the Menu > Blog layout > Options > Include subcategories > http://prntscr.com/a272dm
In this way u can show all child category articles .

This worked, thank you!

Any way to limit the sub category depth being displayed? I just want to display articles from the first level of child categories.

Tried that but it doesn’t seem to be working?

Attached is my structure.

http://sci5.org/index.php/projects/11-print-design-portfolio is the page I’m trying to edit. I only want articles under "PRINT AND DIGITAL MEDIA" to be shown and the sub-category articles such as "DIGITAL MEDIA" hidden.

I tried selecting "Include Subcategories" to none and that did the trick, but then my "all categories" section went blank, which I don’t want.

Hi
Sorry but these are the only options u can select from the Menu .
You can choose the category level or select one category in which u want to show articles .

Yes I understand but then earlier you said I could control the sub-category depth that can be displayed.

My structure is as follows:

Portfolio > PRINT AND DIGITAL MEDIA > PRINT AND DIGITAL MEDIA

Using the controls you told me about earlier, I should be able to exclude "PRINT AND DIGITAL MEDIA" from displaying. I did that as you advised but it didn’t work. I was wondering if there was a fix?

HI

I only want articles under "PRINT AND DIGITAL MEDIA" to be shown and the sub-category articles such as "DIGITAL MEDIA" hidden.

In Print and Digital Media Menu u selected the category Projects > http://prntscr.com/a3ekbo
And inlclude subcategories are None > http://prntscr.com/a3ekfo
It shows articles that are in the Project category as this category does not ave any article so no article showing in front end .
As u need article from PRINT AND DIGITAL MEDIA i change the category from Menu options .
Now the articles are coming only from this category as u needed . http://prntscr.com/a3ele6
You need to add intro image in article options to show them properly on front end .
