Hi Andria,

the videos I was talking about are available from K2 main page (and from JW website, I think).
Other notes:
- text size buttons: for me it sizes up text once only, it works as a switch, on-->big, off-->small (I haven't dig into .css tough) and it doesn't work for the intro text
- I've never programmed in PHP but it was relatively easy check their 'jungle' template and rearrange a few blocks of code to rework a little my pages (moving the 'read more...' link right after the intro text...)
- I've seen people complaining about tag cloud... making it work it just consisted of a) creating a copy of the K2Tool component and assigning it to a layout area/block (say, user4) c) set component parameters, i.e. tag number limit... that's it! I believe this is standard Joomla stuff even if I'm not a Joomla specialist (at all)

Being psychic? Maybe a little...
Or maybe one need to plan a working organization for categories, tags, extra fields and stuff *in advance*. I see K2 as an extremely powerful tool because it is very simple, it has basic functionalities. You need to combine those to get complex results, but hey, this is the fun part.

I could really use that link to the templating tutorial, since I completely replaced my old template with their "Jungle" template (though with modified colors) JUST SO that there would be stuff in place in the template to support K2 -- but for some reason, that font-size option thing doesn't work at all -- why? I could understand it not working, if I was using some non-Joomlaworks/Templateworks template, but I'm using one of theirs, and it still doesn't work.

*sigh*

Please, will you share those links to those things you mentioned? it's really not fair to tell me these things exist and not tell me WHERE they exist!!

Hi,
I am a double newbie, with Joomla! and K2. I have a pretty good foundation in Joomla! and am ok with html and css, can kick around in php to find some things. I have built several Joomla! sites and want to implement K2. Can I use my existing categories/items and migrate them into the K2 DB?
I hope we get more documentation soon other than the 2 movies which are a bit hard to use as a tutorial with K2.
