Insert item into another item was created by Chriss De Grece

Is there any way I can insert into an item the text content of other items?

Maybe Something like

{k2ItemID 123}

By default this is not possible. You can look for an extension at the JED or getk2.org/extend/extensions for a plugin that offers this functionality.

Thanks , I already did before posting but didn't find a plugin like that.

Is there any developers documentation anywhere? I downloaded the sample plugin from the extensions and it seems pretty easy to simply replace the curly braces (ID) with the fulltext of another item BUT I cannot find how to load an item the K2 way. Maybe will simply use Joomla framework queries to do it.

You are on the right track. You can use Joomla!'s API to load data from the database.

You might try the pro version of Articles Anywhere by NoNumber.nl which has support for k2

Thanks but since I already have the example k2 plugin, I will try my luck with a simple Joomla query

select fulltext from #__k2_items where id = 123

I am pretty optimistic it will work , we'll see.

I think a taylor made plugin would probably be the best solution for you Chriss.

You can post it at github and let me know if you need any assistance.

@Krikor

OK, I think it's done. At least it's working. It would be nice if you took a look just in case I have done something extremely stupid.
