Yes. Please explain.

Currently, I am using certain tags as categories by linking them to an item or blank page and using a content item, custom module, content module and image rotator module to serve as the category description. This makes it more difficult to create and manage but more customizable.

Still wish we had the option referenced herein.

i'm interested can you help me? i will pay for this if it's needed

Nick Tsutsunava said:
use an xref table. Easy. That way you can link multiple categories to 1 item id. Or you can go the cheap way and store all the categories inside a new row and have php then parse out the id's. This can be done with explode() and implode()
As for the back end you can have a new drop down appear after you select a category. I have over 200 categories so a tag based system or a simple list system wouldn't work for me (unless the list is inside a frame)

It's really not hard to do guys.. I could code it in several days.. i'm just working on college stuff right now.

HI everyone,

 

We have just released a 1 click installable component to handle assigning K2 items to multiple categories. It is VERY easy to use and you can be up and running in 10 minutes.

 

You can see it here:

usjoomlapros.com/Extensions/K2-Multi-Categoris/flypage.tpl.html

 

We have used it on our site. We are using K2 for our portfolio, and have assigned any of the custom template projects we have done to BOTH the portfolio and custom template categories and it works great.

 

Feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions.

Please explain the handling of the custom template capability in K2. It seems you're referencing it here within this post. But there is no additional information explaining what appears to be a component.

Thanks.

Sorry, I meant the "Custom Template' link in our menu. The component will work with any Joomla template.

Okay, but how, for example, does it handle K2 category-specific templates and images within K2?

@scott Your link is broken

Sorry guys. We are making changes to our site, adding testimonials, blog/forum, and that is changing some of our links. Will repost the correct link in a few minutes and then reply to the custom template question.

Sorry, here is the correct link wihtout hte typo:

 

usjoomlapros.com/Extensions/K2-Multi-Categories/flypage.tpl.html

 

Will reply on the custom tempaltes later.

Did I see clearly $79 for this?

K2 is free and there are a lot of free extensions on the JED and even those that are commercial are only a few dollars.Theres no information on the extension, what it does, instructions or anything.

I have to ask, what makes this so special?

A few sales at a high price does not compare to 1000s at a sensible price.

Send me a DM, perhaps we can get this tested and a review added to Simon.getk2.org

 

Regards,

Simon
