This plugin allows a specfic css file to be loaded for each k2 category.

It's available here :
www.jiliko.net/extensions/css4k2

VERSION 1.2.5
- K2 templates can now be used in the K2 'templates' directory or in the 'html/com_k2/templates' Joomla! template directory. The plugin searches the K2 template in both of them. Your K2 template name has to be unique.
- The plugin is now compatible with the 'Admin Templates' featured extension available here : www.jiliko.net/extensions/admin-templates.

VERSION 1.2.4 (No one has seen it, and you ?)

- You can now use a custom css for the K2 default template

VERSION 1.2.3 (2010-07-31)
- New 'Allow multi css' option that enables each K2 category template css to be loaded on multi-categories layouts.
- English & french translations added

VERSION : v1.2.2 (2010-04-12)
- Css file path forced with '/' and not depending on webserver os
- Obsolete commented code deleted

If you use IIS, update !

VERSION : v1.2.1 (2010-03-12)
- Adding mandatory K2 plugin property to avoid back-office notice (Thx to GreenDome)

VERSION : v1.2 (2010-2-27)- New parameter : Force Original Theme -> If set to 'yes', the original theme of the category is loaded even if the category inherits from another one- New parameter : Force Default Theme -> If set to 'yes ' AND 'Force Original Theme' too, the original theme of the category is loaded even if it's the k2 default themeOlivier

Great update, seems to be working.

I have successfully installed the plugin but when edit a category that uses this plugin i get an error message:

Notice: Undefined property: plgK2OneCssPerK2Template::$pluginName in /var/www/mysite/administrator/components/com_k2/lib/k2plugin.php on line 26

Any ideas why?

Thanks
GD

I check that today

Does the bug affect all your categories using the plugin ?

Do you have a specific configuration ?

Thanks for the reply.

All my categories are using this plugin but if i change the template to --use default-- i still get the same error message.

In terms of configuration, no specific settings, some categories are using 'Inherit parameter options from category' and some aren't.

However, the plugin works fine in the front-end just curious why this error message is showing in the back-end only.

Many Thanks
GD

Hi Olivier,

Slight different question but related to this plugin, hope you can help:

Currently K2 is using the template_css.css for h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 tags but how do i override these tags for one css per k2 template files?

I added the new css stuff to mytmpl_style.css for example but the override didn't work. So K2 is still picking up the css values from template_css.css file.

Thank you in advance.
GD

Can you paste your website link ?

May be the k2 category css file is not loaded or there's a mismatch in it.

Hi Guys,

I have seen this before with some templates.
Sorry, I did find a fix but thought it was special to me due to the large number of K2 and Templates that were linked, but I cant remember how I solved this, but it is possible.

It should be possible to take css from your joomla template and get k2 template to overide it.
Do you have any overide statements in your css?

GreenDome,

I've updated the original post with v1.2.1 which should correct the problem.

Olivier,

Thank for the updated version, i have installed but it hasn't made any difference or maybe its me :(

The site is currently on a test server but i have attached a screen shot. I am trying to change the links on the 'more...' section as they are currently too big and spaced out. Looking at firebug its uses the H3 from template_css.css file. However, this category uses its own cs_style.css file which seems to be working fine.

When i add the H3 setting to cs_style.css file, it dont override the template_css.css file :(

Many Thanks
GD

GreenDome,

Can you check that your css file is loaded in the head of the Joomlapage.

If it is, what is the css code you've put in this css file to change the H3 ?

...

The 1.2.1 update only concerns the back office notice correction.

Olivier,

In the head of the Joomlapage i can see:



I got the above code by going to: View --> Page Source in Firefox - hope thats what you meant.

The css code i added in cs_style file was: h3 {font-size: 110%}

Thank you
GD

Sorry GreedDome,

But no text or screenshot of your page head.

You should have in the a line like the one in the txt file and placed AFTER the k2.css and the joomla template css

Olivier,

Sorry about that i did paste the coding but it got scripted out. I have now added it to the attached file.

I do have the line in the head of the Joomlapage but its appears before the joomla template css and there's no k2.css. This maybe because none of my categories are using the default k2 template settings and in the one css per k2 template plugin, the 'keep k2 css' option is set to No.

Thank you,
GD

GreenDome,

In your css file, try

div.itemContainer h3 {}

instead of h3 {}

Olivier

Olivier,

Excellent that worked!! Is that what I should have done in the beginning?

Thank you very much for your help and fantastic support. This plugin is a great contribution to the K2 community and personally think it should be included as part of the core.

Best Regards,
GD

Do you have some documentation or workaround how to use this plugin?

Hi I got this plugin working. very good thanks!
One problem is my Read More buttons are gone now.
When I disable the plugin I got them back.
Also when I choose the default template in my category the read more buttons are back.

Any idea?

Hi Rob,

Maybe some css troubes.

Have you inspected the code of your html page to check the code of the readmore button is here ?

Olivier

Rob Molenaar said:Hi I got this plugin working. very good thanks! One problem is my Read More buttons are gone now.

See my 2 images.
1st Image is the html code of the read more in the category_item.html
2nd Image is the code of the readmore from mytmpl_style.css

One extra detail good to know is that the read more buttons are there in Firefox and not in IE8 when I have the plugin activated and choosen my own template .
