    hello
    thanks for the theme.
    im having some issues with some of the functionality..
    ive set up my page with template 'homepage' and set up my subpages to be the bottom tabs. in those pages ive set up the 3 col portfolio template and have selected from the dropdown the corresponding portfolio, i put 2 projects in the portfolio and assigned them the 'films' type (which is what im calling on the 'films' subpage, but the thumbs (featured images) are not showing... just the blurb text on the content space shows up (if i leaver the 'latest videos' option in theme option, the 2 portfolios show up there, but not in the film tab/page, if i set it to NO show the latest videos, i have just the tabs, no thumbs, ive tried everything but nothing works...

    thank you for ur help. ohh my site demo is here: http://orenstambouli.com/cms/director/
    i would also like to re-use the 'homepage' template in another page, to have a slider or just 1 image and the bottom tabs showing the subpages, is it possible?

    thank you

    I see how that can be a bit confusing. Basically child-pages become tabs but they won't pull in the portfolio column data. If you want to pull in portfolio posts, that needs to be managed via the Theme Options Panel. Don't worry that I have examples displayed, just over-write the tab names and use the current ones. IE. Post your Director videos in the current type as well as "popular" type. Then they will show up under that tab.

    If you want more tab options for portfolio types, just view the homepage.php code and add them in. Alternatively if you don't want that work-around, just find/replace in the homepage.php file popular or more with the category you want to use.

    Let me know if that helps. It's not the most intuitive I'll admit but it should be more clear now that I explained it.

    ok i got it to work now! :) thanks!!
    but it is a of a workaround, especially b/c my client will be updating this himself, and might get confused with the popular tab for behind the scenes and recommended for films etc...
    i checked on the homepage.php, seems like i could change that like u mention, but is there any other php file that i should be aware of to reference, like functions or something...?

    i WILL also need to duplicate my homepage.php to use for the producer page in which ill have to pull some other portfolios too... do u have any suggestions as to which files i should edit... to accomplish this...
    sorry about that, its tuesday here and i though we were the last in the timezone jejeje!! PST
    thanks for ur reply and help!
