What is the best technique for creating different styling for k2 content module.
I understand how to use the templates, but this doesn't accommodate CSS, as far as I can tell.

Can someone clue me in here.

To start I want a K2 content that has no k2 styling. Looking for the cleanest way to accomplish this.

Just start me in the right direction here. Thanks,

any other routes.

I want most of the styling provided by K2, just want to override (remove) in one module.


Solutions Expert said:disable css styles in parameters... then create your own styles for each part

Maybe you can add a suffix to the module so you can add or change styling without changing the default CDs

U can use subtemplate feature at K2content module. At your server go to modules->K2content->tmpl, and you have folder called default. Now duplicate and rename that folder.

If you go now to any K2content module at the backend you will find a dropdown at the top right who lets you chose any subtemplate. You will find ther your new subtemplate(folder you duplicate before).

So now, what you should do its modify file default.php inside your new subtemplate folder, the style.css fo the K2 component( components->com_K2->css->style.css) and maybe the css file at your template folder to fit your needs.

Really play a bit with it, its amazing what you can do with this feature. Diferent layouts for each K2 module on your site, amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also combined with any suffix class module feature of joomla bring you a very powerfull tool.

Thanks Olsen,

I get the tmpl folder part, but are you copying a css into that folder too? And then making a call to it from default.php

Or are you just using the suffix module. I'm a little grey on using suffix module to the fullest. know of any good explainations on it?

thanks

Yes......but, then you change style for content module in another position. Say that you have copied content module and now have two active.

How to style CSS completely independently ???!!

I did get that part with override and puting k2.css in template css folder. But then whole K2 get those changes, not only content module. Still confusing about all that. Documentation and info are not so good.

Read this simon.getk2.org/component/k2/item/91-templating
and this simon.getk2.org/downloads/free-extensions/item/26-css-4-k2
Then try to do the same thing except instead of using templates/html/com_k2/YourOverrideName and style_yourname
use templates/mod_K2_content/YourOverrideName and it will show up in the Module Paramaters. Making changes here will not affect anything except that module

You mean to rename k2.css file (same name as template) in html/css folder? Then pick it with this plugin?
Because if you don´t do this K2 pull that css for whole extension.

I have created a folder in modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl called monthly focus and copied the k2.css file into this directory.  When I open the module I see the monthly focus in the dropdown of sub-template types.  I choose it but can not see where my changes are occurring.  I have changed the background color on the even and odd for the "Zebra Rows".  Can anyone provide any help.
