Andy, you're looking at the wrong section in the dialog :) The content section refers to Joomla!'s com_content section and categories. The K2 stuff is towards the bottom...

Andy Gleed said:Ah, i did not realise that I had to install the default JCE stuff first in order to see the JCE Administrator features.
I have now done that and successfully installed the k2 jce stuff. However, when I create a K2 item and try to create a hyperlink, the dialog I see to add the link does not have the K2 categories displayed......any thoughts?

Nicholas K. Dionysopoulos said:It will not install through the Joomla! installer because JCE plug-ins are a completely different beast than the Joomla! plug-ins (yeah, it took me a while to figure that one out too!). Just go to Components -> JCE Administration, click on Plugins and click on Install. The page which loads looks like the Joomla! extension installer, but it's not. It's the JCE plug-ins installer. Use this page to install the plugin and you're good to go :)

Hi Nicholas, all sorted thanks. I knew I was getting muddled up as im still quite new to all this stuff, but im really enjoying. The community support is also excellent which makes the move to joomla and the cool 3rd party extensions a great experience :) - Thanks for your assistance :)

You're welcome! The spirit of the Joomla! community is in the lines of "we're here to help you and get helped by others". Welcome aboard! It's an exciting ride :D

This is such a great extension, thank you very much!

Thanks for this

As a new user to K2 I was soooo disappointed to find I couldn't do my internal links from within JCE. This is an absolute pearler of an extension.

Many thanks,

Ric

Thank you for this extension, works great and added a much needed interface for working with K2. All the work I have seen you do is tremendously useful for those of us who use Joomla regularly and really streamlines the process. Can't thank you enough.

Necessity is the mother of invention. I felt the same frustration as you did, as I began using K2 exclusively for my content management need in AkeebaBackup.com. In the spirit of Open Source, I decided to give away my source code for free. I'm glad you enjoy it :)

Got a crash when I tried to install.

You have to install using JCE's installer, not the Joomla! extensions installer. Search the first two pages of the comments of this post, I've already discussed this 3-4 times ;)

Just loaded the JCE advanced link plug in, however, the screen went blank. Went into plugin manager to check. this advance link did not install. I do already have the regular JCE installed (do I need to uninstall this first?). Would you be able to let me know where it may go wrong? thanks.

I got it. read other posts.

I guess you are new to Joomla!, aren't you? :) The Itemid is the "menu item ID" parameter. Since module display is tied to the Itemid, this parameter determines how your page will look like. The plugin asks the K2 router to automatically guess the Itemid for the article you chose. The algorithm is less than perfect and chooses the first K2 menu item in your site. If this menu doesn't have any modules set to display on its pages you end up with a full width page. This is Joomla!'s Achilles' heel and, unfortunately, you can't do anything about it right now.

The plugin uses the K2 router to fetch the URL. This looks more like an issue with K2 and Joom!Fish, but I have never used them together to be perfectly honest with you.

I just found this and I downloaded this and tried to install and there was an error?

This is exactly what my customer is looking for. I'm using the most current of K2 and JCE Editor.

Any help, He wants to launch his website tomorrow Sept16, 2010 at 12:01am.

Thank You,
