Hi, I have just installed K2 and I have no idea on how to use it.

I am trying to build a website where the articles will have to belong to a topic category (Music, Art, Food) and also to a geographical category (USA--Florida--Miami). When the article is being written, the writer should be able to choose both, and a user in the front-end should be able to browse the articles using both or also one category.

An Example... A user on the front-end wants to see only the articles coming from Sweden, another one wants to see the articles about food, and another one wants to see all the articles belonging to IT and written in the UK.

Is this possible with K2?

Hello,

These videos will help you get started with K2.
getk2.org/documentation/k2class2012

K2 by default assigns only one category per item. You have two options.
a) Use tags for the locations or
b) Use an extension called K2 additional categories.

Thank you very much fr=or your prompt help and reply.

I will download the docs and will look for the extension, I don't know where to find K2 extensions yet...

Regards

Found it!!! ;-)

In case someone else needs it:

K2 by default assigns only one category per item. You have two options.
a) Use tags for the locations or
b) Use an extension called K2 additional categories.

I have few questions:

a) How can I display the articles within tags in a menu list? The K2 Tools only has Category List (Menu) or Tag Cloud.

b) As the additional categories site is down, I cannot install the extension. Could someone provide the zip-archive?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

a) You can map these tags into menu items (just like categories)
b) Contact the extension's developer.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I did not know you can create a menuitem for a tag. Thanks!

You 're welcome Ari.
