Hi there,

I use one particular K2 extra field as a supplement to the main title of my articles. This extra-field must be displayed on the slideshow, but it does not seem like K2 extra fields are retrieved during slide definition when chosing "K2 article".

Could you tell me if there is a simple code mod to access any extra-field as easily as title or content fields?

Thanks!

Could the dev/support team at least tell if that kind of improvement is scheduled for a near version please ?
Or should I start fiddling with the sources in my corner ?

It's not in our plans to integrate such a feature. I personally think it's an overkill. If you want very specific details to be shown on a slideshow using K2 extra fields, just use mod_k2_content and wrap it with a similar slideshow effect/script.

Hi Fotis,

My opinion is that it might not be an overkill if a bunch of people use an extra field as for example, some subtitle (thus not a "detail"), like I do.

just use mod_k2_content and wrap it with a similar slideshow effect/script.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here.
My goal is to fully integrate a particular extra-field within the slides (I above mentionned the subtitle concept). Meaning backoffice management, order, position and effects. I don't see any other solution than making the slides retrieve the information by themselves.
Not mentionning that using mod_k2_content and JS/CSS tricks in parallel of FPSS would be quite messy, not to say dirty.
