Hello All,

K2 is awesome and I would like to give something back to the awesome community. I have made some changes to the code that allows:

1) you to assign Extra Fields to multiple Extra Fields Groups
2) you to assign User Groups to Extra Fields Groups (just like categories)
3) you to assign User Groups and Categories to multiple Extra Field Groups

This gives you the ultimate flexibility when configuring how information is displayed on the different pages.

I would like to get in contact with the people in the community and the developers to see if this could be of interest and possibly incorporated in the core code.

Let me know, Marco

Hi. We are currently working on the version 3 of K2 which introduces extra fields for categories, users and tags. The repository of the new version is github.com/joomlaworks/k2-v3-dev-build/ . If your code is based on version 2 of K2 the repository is located at github.com/joomlaworks/k2 .

The code is based on version 2 of K2. I had quick look at the repository. I have not worked with a github repository before. If I want to share the modified code what is the procedure?

Thanks Marco

You need to create a pull request so we can inspect your code. Details on pull requests can be found at help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/ .

Okay my colleague James has forked the K2 v2 repository and will make the the changes then send you a pull request.

What is the projected launch date for v3? I have a project starting that needs these features!

It is the 15th of December.

I did not see any announcement about release yesterday. What is v3 status?

I wasnt aware of the twitter announcement. Thanks for mentioning it.

I am not sure if by wed (which is today) is possible too. There is still a lot of last minute things to do. I too am desperately waiting for V3 since my production site which is supposed to be released by xmas is now on hold due to this. But I do appreciate the work the devs have been doing the past few days. Looks like they are working very hard to push this stable release soon. If they continue this momentum, hopefully it can be out in a week's time Fingers Crossed! :)
