It's Happening! SooperThemes Portfolio Views For Drupal 8 and Drupal 7

Parent Feed: 

Our very first official Drupal 8 product release is our SooperThemes Drupal Portfolio Module! While working on a full release of all our themes and modules we saw an oppurtunity to re-invent our portfolio solution and wrote a new module from scratch, ensuring compatibility and ease of maintenance across Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 ecosystems. We're telling you that our new portfolio module is better, faster, sexier, and easier to use than any portfolio module you're used before, on Drupal or elsewhere.

Creating Professional Portfolio Views Has Never Been Easier

You only have mere seconds to impress people with your website. SooperThemes Portfolio offers 65 design settings and unlimited control over animation, color, and content to help you get it right the first time.

Leverage query building, ordering, and contextualization that made Views and Drupal big. Whether you're displaying nodes, files, or custom entities SooperThemes Portfolio will handle it.

65 Settings, 14 Caption Designs, Advanced Motion Design... And Still Easy To Use

As you've come to expect of SooperThemes' products customisability is something we pay attention to. Without being overbearing we provide settings that allow you to match your portfolio, showcase, or e-commerce grid to you site's branding and content. We implemented color pickers that support transparency, example caption designs, and individual motion design options for loading the image grid, filtering, and hovering items.

Upgrading Your Drupal 7 Site From Glazed Portfolio/MD Portfolio

First of all, if Glazed Portfolio is working fine for you, you don't have to upgrade. While the new module provides more features and easier customisability this doesn't mean it's worth your time to configure new views with SooperThemes Portfolio  if you're going to end up with the same design that was already working fine for you.

However, if your portfolio views are up for a make-over, or if some of the little bugs and limitations in the old module are bothering you this is the time to upgrade! Since both modules are based on the same grid system the views settings will be familiar. 

Upgrading is very simple:

1. Install new module

2. Create new view or edit example view. Customize to your liking

3. Reference the new view in your menu links and drag and drop pages

4. Uninstall glazed portfolio/MD Portfolio

Where are Drupal 8 Glazed Builder and Glazed Theme at?

Releasing SooperThemes Portfolio is just one of the stepping stones on the way to a full Drupal 8 release for our flagship products. The only 2 remaining stepping stones are finalization of our Entity Browser/Media integration in Glazed Builder and the migration of our theme demos to the Drupal 8 ecosystem. The release itself will take some work in terms of updating our provisioning software and content/documentation on sooperthemes.com. Expect new updates in December!
