I'm quite new at K2,  I have two questions I need some help with:



I have a client who sells products. He doesn't need a shopping cart, and he has two prices: a price to agents (+10%) and to direct clients (+15%). He wants to enter an article just once (each in a category), and update it using the formula in a custom field. Is that possible?



He works a lot with spreadsheets, and that is why he wants it. My opinion is that you have to copy and paste the article 2 times, and set the prices by hand. But maybe something can be done in the custom fields?



The custom fields got my attention to K2. I like it very much, but try as I may, I can't get the k2.ss working in a micro template. Setting it up is explained very clear in the various tutorials. But I can't figure out where to place the css file. Whatever I do, I always end up the the k2.css in the com_k2 component itself. 



I copied the default folder + contents to /template/html/com_k2. Rename it. I can immediately select that new micro template in the category. But I am not able to get an independent CSS working. 



Suppose I want 3 micro templates, where the only change is the background color in red, white and blue. I copy the default + contents folder inside the template folder three times, rename them red, white and blue. Where do I add or set up the css so the back becomes that color?



Thanks for any help. I'm struggling weeks on this one. 

Get css for K2 and it will probably solve your css problems
simon.getk2.org/downloads/free-extensions/item/26-css-4-k2

the formula question requires thought

I only wish! I've tried that many times as well. Followed the instructions step by step. Tried various settings on the plugin. Whatever I do, the css remains the k2.css in the com-K2 component.

I'm certain it works, but I am still stumped.

k2.css should be copied and placed into
httpdocs/templates/YourTemplate/html/com_k2/templates/YourOverrideDirectory
It should be remamed to YourOverrideDirectory_style.css
Examine with firebug

I've done it like this:

\wamp\www\k2\templates\rhuk_milkyway\html\com_k2\templates\test\
test_style.css

doesn't make any difference if I place test_style.css inside or above the test folder.
I checked with firebug, it keeps referring to k2.css

That looks correct
The only other settings i use in the plugin are
Enabled
Public
Keep K2Css - Yes
Force Original - No
Force Deafault - No

Whatever settings I try, I only can work with the original k2.css
the test_style.css is not picked up. I placed it in the folder and above the folder.
Changed the settings of the plugin. No go.

I got it!
I did everything right. Except... I didn't know the new created template only works on new articles you create.

I assigned the 'test' micro theme to the category latest. Checked it on the articles already there. Nothing.
Once I created a new article, immediately the test_style.css showed up and did its work.

Maybe that could be included in the tutorial? It stumped me literally for weeks. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I think there could have been a cache problem or something because i havent seen that before.
Please test by createing a new category first
Add an article
get it displaying from a menu choice
create an override and a custom css for that category and select it
Is should work on items already created when they display
