I limited the introtext word count by making this change to generic.php

<?php if($item->params->get('genericItemIntroText')): ?>              <!-- Item introtext -->              <div class="genericItemIntroText">              <?php echo K2HelperUtilities::wordLimit($item->introtext,25);?>                  </div>              <?php endif; ?>

Then I edited the k2.css to make it 2 columns:

div.genericItemView {    border-top: 1px solid #FF9933;    padding: 0px;    margin: 50px 0 0 0;    width: 50%;    float: left;}/* this is the item container for this view */

but if you look at the page, most of the rows have 2 items in it, but some have a blank spot and then just 1 item:  www.piggygiggles.com/crafts-for-girls

I'm trying to get it to look like my layout in category layout:  www.piggygiggles.com/crafts-for-kids/foam-crafts

 

 

In generic.php locate the foreach right after the genericItemList div container and replace it with this:

<?php foreach($this->items as $key=>$item): ?>

Then go to the endforeach and right before that put this

<?php if(($key+1)%2)==0): ?>    <div class="clr"></div><?php endif; ?>

 

This will just put a clear div after the second column.

Thanks for your fast response!

When I added the code, I got:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IS_EQUAL in .../html/com_k2/templates/generic.php on line 128 Yiota Ziaggou said:

Change the $key variable to $keyItem. The $key variable is also used in the extrafields, probably that is why you get an error.

I still got:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IS_EQUAL in /home/.../public_html/templates/.../html/com_k2/templates/generic.php on line 129

 

I put the

&lt;?php if(($keyItem+1)%2)==0): ?&gt;    &lt;div class="clr"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;?php endif; ?&gt;

right before the endforeach that was before the Pagination section, there were two endforeach.  Did I put it in the right spot?

Replace

&lt;?php if(($keyItem+1)%2)==0): ?&gt;    &lt;div class="clr"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;?php endif; ?&gt;

with the

&lt;?php if(($keyItem+1)%2==0): ?&gt;            &lt;div class="clr"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;?php endif; ?&gt;

 

There is an extra parenthesis that is not closed to the first if statement.

 

 

BEAUTIFUL!!  Thank you so much for your help!!  IT works perfectly

Do you know how to change the number of items that pull up on my Tag Results pages?  Right now it's showing 10 items and I'd like to increase it.

Go to the general K2 parameters and change the number through there.

thanks, I didn't see it there when I looked.  Now I found it
