Artist Catalog

The Artist Catalog is a simple way for artists and creatives to showcase their works with Contao. The extension can be used to easily add works with one or more images, description and title into your Online Portfolio. Every work can be categorized, using the build in Contao Site Structure as a taxonomy.

The extension has three different frontend modules: portfolio reader, portfolio navigation and portfolio covers.  The portfolio reader is used to display selected works from either the portfolio navigation or the portfolio covers. If all works should be displayed in only one category you can define a default page in the Contao Settings under portfolio settings.
The extension is based on an idea by Valentin Ruhry and built by Kamil Kuzminski.

Creating a new Work

After installing the Artist Catalog the new Backend Module Portfolio will appear. Click New Work to add and define a new work.

Add the information of your work and Save and Close. The Cover Image is optional and only needed if you choose the Portfolio Covers Module to display a selection of all your works in thumbnails.

You can also choose a page on which the work should be displayed. In this way you can create categories by using the site structure. Important: you can also choose a default page for all works on System > Settings >Portfolio settings.

In the next step you can add images with titles and short descriptions to your work. 

The result should look like this. Eventually you can sort your works at Content > Portfolio > Sort works.
