k2 item's image rotator by tags was created by Odin Mayland

I am looking for a way to have the following:

1. use only k2 items by a specific tag.

2. rotate the images from the k2 item images tab.

3. upon click, image enlarges into a popup

4. there is a link to the full k2 item in the popup

Is there a way to already do this/extension?

I surprised that others don't think this would be a useful feature.

If you don´t use "Featured" option for Items then you can use it instead of Tags. Visitors wouldn´t notice, same thing for them.

Then just in PHP code disable featured to show everywhere.

With help of some K2 module from Joomla extensions. Almost all can rotate "Featured" but i don´t know any that react at "Tags".

Because of that i said this above.

For your visitors it is the same, they never notice.

And Number 3 is dificult.

Initially, I was hoping I could add syntax to the SIG pro extension to accomplish most of what I wanted but I haven't found any documentation on how to do this.

Wait. Do you want to rotate Items (ONE) image ?

Or multiple images from one Item (gallery) ?

will try but I would need multiple tags. so one featured option is not going to work.

Specifically here is an example of what the site requires:

1. k2 item of an apple, tagged "fruit"

2. k2 item of a tomato, tagged "vegetable"

3. k2 item of a carrot , tagged "vegetable"

4. k2 item of a squash , tagged "vegetable"

5. Rototor module on tomato page showing carrot and squash

6. Rototor module on apple page showing all fruits

But i am not sure i understand you. You want to show some image from Gallery plugin ? (Simple image gallery)

Then i don´t know how. Use some (ONE) image besides SIG and make it as hidden in Item. Use it only because of rotate module. You can use one image from SIG. Yes, it would be twice at server, but don´t know better automatised option.

It is achievable only if you have separate categories for all that kind of fruits.

Copy module and chose another Category. (or multiple categories) I think so. Maybe some has some solution for Tags that i missed at forum.

You are lucky. I just checked and Mod_news_pro_gk4 has that you want.

So test it.
