K2 is shaping up to be a great component...would love to see what lies in the future for it.

My problem though is when I try changing the layout of K2 Item pages beyond the category layout.

If you go to my site you'll better understand what I mean. www.onajunket.com

Go to Cities on the main menu and drop down to Miami link. Once clicking on the Miami link you are transported to a distinct layout which begins the K2 experience. But then clicking on to one of the categories you lose the distinct look and remain with the same css as the main template.

I am using the Menu Dependent Items Module to achieve the different layout look. The module works fine in the main template; it keeps to the new version of css when assigned to a Section in the normal Joomla template and continues to keep it when going deeper into its various Categories. But in the K2 side it stops short at the Category layout and does not continue to the Items.

Is there anything that can be done to continue with the theme beyond Category layout page?

I'm having a problem finding how to change the K2 template to look different also. I have uploaded (copied and renamed) the template files to MYTEMPLATENAME/html/com_k2/templates/NEW_NAME but they are just php files and don't seem to be what I need to customize. Maybe I'm missing something here,but it would seem like it would be the css files one has to change, and they would go along w/ the new customized 'template' files...

I love code, and this component is great and all, but man! is this confusing! :|

I agree, templating so far is turning out to be a real pain. My main issue is that my new templates are not even being found by k2.

Sadly...I had to abandon the K2 for now...hope to hear of new changes...bc I really enjoyed the K2 experience.......I'll be skiing down now...c ya
