Hello, I have a question about K2 component: which is the criteria used by k2 to displays related article by TAG?
For example, if I have 10 artciles with TAG "RED", and I show a list of 5 related articles, how k2 chooses which to show?
Second question.
If the 10 articles with TAG "RED" are in different categories, is it possible to show related articles divided by category?

Fore example:
-Article title
-Article picture
-Article description
-Related articles in category 1
-Related articles in category 2
-Related articles in category 3
....

Thank you very much.

Hello the most recent items are always shown.
As for diving the items, you will need an extension to extend the related items functionality.

Dear Krikor, thank you for the answer.
Regarding the extension, do you have any suggestion? I try to find it without success.

Kind regards.

Sadly I have not used on in the past.

Here's an extension from a quality Joomla! developer...

XT-K2 Link Item
www.extly.com/utilities/xt-k2-link-item.html

When user creates or modifies a K2 article, links to related K2 articles can be defined as new attributes. The links can be fully managed with an associated editor button, a handy dialog button allows to administer associated K2 articles. Finally, in the front-end site, the list of linked K2 articles are shown.

I hope this helps :)

Hi Joseph,

I've upgraded on Joomla3 and want to test xt-k2-link-item before buying, but dev. dont allows.

Hello Franz,

I have not used the extension, but I have had communicated with the developer. He was very helpful and prompt to responding to me. He is also very active in the Joomla! community from a leadership perspective...
