Marty, I've tried following your links in the last post to view the adaptations using tabs - but get permission denied everytime.

Any chance of checking/reposting.
Cheers, Mark

Hey Mark, apols about the link. The site is still a work in progress and the links have changed. I have also changed the methodology for implementing this layout, however you can see what you get here:

new.template.s50284.gridserver.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&layout=category&task=category&id=5&Itemid=4

View the tab named Browse Experts. Because of the number of sub-categories in my Experts category I changed from tab display to slide display

Nice!

Thanks William, it relies on a helper.php file and customised k2 template/category.php to render the sub-categories within the slides

A good implementation Marty. Thanks for posting the new link.
Mark

Thank Mark, whenever I have a site that has around 4 or 5 sub-categories I use the tab layout, more than that I go to slides.

so this might be a stupid question... when u say k2 -> item.php ... which item.php are u referring to... the component or the module... could u give the full path to the file...

Hey Ahmad, the item.php is dependant on whether or not you've created template overrides. If you have created template overrides, then your item.php is in your \templates\\html\com_k2\templates\default folder. If you aren't using overrides than it is in the following folder \components\com_k2\templates\default\

Hope this helps

Marty, 

 

can you fix the "Slide comments" link?

 

I also want to have the comments be hidden by default in certain categories like this one: 

www.primocraft.com/The-Man-Cave-Gallery/Big-Tiki-Island-Style.html

 

I would like a button that the user could click to open up the comments.

 

Here are a couple of links demonstrating wrapping k2 content in slides, as explained in the earlier posts:

 

omanugolf.co.nz/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=109:40th-anniversary-celebration&Itemid=117#omanu_golf

Scroll to the very bottom of the page, click on View/Add Comments


langritangpa.org.au/index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&layout=category&task=category&id=1&Itemid=43

ALL articles are seperated into slides from individual k2 categories

 

langritangpa.org.au/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=34:happiness-101&Itemid=197

Click on the Click for details link, k2 extra details hidden in a slide. Do the same to hide Comments

 

Hope this helps...

Marty,

 

I can't wait to try this out!  Thanks.

 

Do see any reason why it would not work with Tabber from www.nonumber.nl/extensions/tabber  

The component that was used is from nonumber, that guy is brilliant!!!

Sorry, Marty, I am a little confused.

 

Your original post has a link to Joomlaworks's tab&slides extension.

 

I was curious if you think that nonumber's "Tabber" would also work, because the developer, Peter, has the best support of any joomla product I have ever used!

Can't see why not, he's just split the functionality into individual components I think, tabber and slider
