does no one has an idea?

I am trying to add some users "only" to this featuring privilage, so in \components\com_k2\templates\default\itemform.php

I did try this with no luck


from line 146 to 166 which is below

<?php if($this->mainframe->isAdmin() || ($this->mainframe->isSite() && $this->permissions->get('publish'))): ?>
<tr>
<td class="adminK2LeftCol">
<label for="featured"><?php echo JText::_('K2_IS_IT_FEATURED'); ?></label>
</td>
<td class="adminK2RightCol">
<?php echo $this->lists; ?>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="adminK2LeftCol">
<label><?php echo JText::_('K2_PUBLISHED'); ?></label>
</td>
<td class="adminK2RightCol">
<?php echo $this->lists; ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php endif; ?>
</table>

<!-- Tabs start here -->

And did replace with...


<?php if(isset($user->groups) || isset($user->groups)): ?>
<tr>
<td class="adminK2LeftCol">
<label for="featured"><?php echo JText::_('K2_IS_IT_FEATURED'); ?></label>
</td>
<td class="adminK2RightCol">
<?php echo $this->lists; ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($this->mainframe->isAdmin() || ($this->mainframe->isSite() && $this->permissions->get('publish'))): ?>
<tr>
<td class="adminK2LeftCol">
<label><?php echo JText::_('K2_PUBLISHED'); ?></label>
</td>
<td class="adminK2RightCol">
<?php echo $this->lists; ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php endif; ?>
</table>

<!-- Tabs start here -->

But it is not working any idea??

Hi

I had the same issues regaring fronted editing.

Found the solution in the JE K2 Story

Look here - joomlaextensions.co.in/product/JE-K2-Story

Falko wrote: Hello,

I looked up the parameters for frontend editing but there is no way to customize the things I described earlier, only show or hide tabs. I think I have to change the itemform.php by hand.

second question: is there an opcion to leave a default category choose when opening the frontend editor? I want to have a certain category pre-selected.
here a part of the itemform.php:

<?php if(is_object($user->profile) && isset($user->profile->addLink)): ?>
<li>
<a class="modal" rel="{handler:'iframe',size:{x:990,y:550}}" href="<?php echo $user->profile->addLink; ?>"><?php echo JText::_('K2_ADD_ITEM'); ?></a>
</li>
<?php endif; ?>

3. add some words to this code

<a class="modal" rel="{handler:'iframe',size:{x:990,y:550}}" href="<?php echo $user->profile->addLink.'&catid='.$this->category->id; ?>">

it predetermines the choice of the category in which you are

...or...

<a class="modal" rel="{handler:'iframe',size:{x:990,y:550}}" href="<?php echo $user->profile->addLink.'&catid=3'; ?>">

where "3" is the ID of your category
it determines the category with selected ID



now im trying to edit default category list... ...

Any luck setting the default category in 'Add Item' form (itemform.php)?

I would like to to set a default category for my users to only have to select the child categories.

Please help!

Hello Alex,

You need to set the correct category permission to the K2 User group your authors belong to.
From that point it is very easy with a simple JS script to remove or hide the disabled options from the select box.

Thank you Krikor for your reply, however, I'm very new to this.

I am setting up a website where the registered users can submit articles.
I have 16 main Categories and 10 sub-categories for each.
I would like to make it easier for the user to click on a link for a Category and then they would select from the drop down list only the sub-category where they want to add an article.

I know of templates overrides and all I need is a way to get itemform.php to display a specif Category with its respective children categories.

Can you help with this? or anyone out there?

Another issue I have is that I want to disable access to the server in the front end in the attachments tab, any ideas on how to do this, in the image tab I commented out the 'browser button' but I'm not able to in attachments?

This requires some coding, If you don't have enough PHP experience I would'nt recommend editing extensively that form. Why don't instead use JS to alter the value of the select box?

As for the attachments the safest method is to use an .htaccess file it's the safest method.

Hello,
the adjustment for the listing only allowed categories (as stated Alex C.) is quite needed. We have same situation and would prefer to provide the user with better usability (especially in cases if user will choose the category he or she doesn't allow to add the article to -> error producing is guarranted :( ).


In case this requires some coding:
- could you please support us with giving a hint towards it
- or is it possible to have this in the upcoming K2 upgrade(s)?

Thank you!

Thank you for feedback.

I can give you a push towards the right direction.
Provided you have already overriden itemform.php you need to add a small jQuery script which removed the disabled options from the select box.

A sample script can be found here: forum.jquery.com/topic/removing-disabled-options-from-a-select-box
