Hi guys, 

I am very new to K2 and I hope I am posting in the right forum, sorry if not.

I looked all over the extension list and extension forum, but could not find what I need.

 

I need some plugin for k2 to be able to add just another image ( second main image) to the item.

 1 picture is better then thousand words :)  please take a look at this attached image guys and let me know if there is any solution for my problem.

 

Thanks a lot guys!

Install Simple Gallery PRO.

 

Then in plugin settings set just to show ONE image. Set dimensions for thumbs to fill that block (width and desired height).

Then in plugin´s PHP files remove posibility to click at that ONE image (disable lightshow).

 

And it is all.

You will need allways to put that ONE image in ZIP file, then upload to K2 Item. But i guess it is not so huge problem.

Or any better, you can leave lightshow posibility. But then up there you have Modal box, and down there you have lightshow. Decide by yourself.

Thanks BBC :) One problem though I already have one image gallery field already ( see the image above ) There is one main image, image gallery and the SECOND main image :)  

 

But it is possible to clone image gallery pro in some way ? :)

Sorry, i see now.

 

Cloning plugins is diffcult. Many things to change.

Rearange things to have image gallery in content. You can use Ignite Gallery, Joomgallery or Phoca gallery. All of them have an editor button for images/gallery insert.

maybe there is any custom extra field or something :) Though I looked I think at all of them and found nothing.

This plugin has option to chose different pictures for Xsmall, Small, Large, Xlarge and Medium.

Try to use some image you don´t use anywhere for that position. Of those 5 different you allways have at least one you don´t use anywhere.

 

And try to copy code of that Image at the top, paste it in template under where you want new image. And try to change all in code needed for new image (of those 5).

 

Raport back if it works. Interessting topic.

Thanks, will do :)

I just tested. And it works OK. You can have 3 (out of 5 max) new images, at different positions in Item template. (one is reserved for Category thumb, and one for image at the top)

 

<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemImage') && !empty($this->item->image)): ?> <!-- Item Image --> <div class="itemImageBlock"> <span class="itemImage"> <a class="modal" rel="{handler: 'image'}" href="<?php echo $this->item->imageMedium; ?>" title="<?php echo JText::_('Click to preview image'); ?>"> <img src="<?php echo $this->item->imageMedium; ?>" alt="<?php if(!empty($this->item->image_caption)) echo $this->item->image_caption; else echo $this->item->title; ?>" style="width:<?php echo $this->item->imageWidth; ?>px; height:auto;" /> </a> </span> <?php if($this->item->params->get('itemImageMainCaption') && !empty($this->item->image_caption)): ?> <!-- Image caption --> <span class="itemImageCaption"><?php echo $this->item->image_caption; ?></span> <?php endif; ?> <?php if($this->item->params->get('itemImageMainCredits') && !empty($this->item->image_credits)): ?> <!-- Image credits --> <span class="itemImageCredits"><?php echo $this->item->image_credits; ?></span> <?php endif; ?> <div class="clr"></div> </div> <?php endif; ?>

This solution opens many, many posibilities. :)

Note bolded text in post above.

Small correction. You can use 2 additional places for images. Third image is used for Modal box popup.

 

But, if you need more then 3 big pictures per Item together, use Gallery. Otherways it is stupid.

He he, really many thanks to you  BBC :) Havent tested it yet, but I'm sure it will work like charm :)

Hey it worked, though i used  Xsmall override, the problem with it is you must have something to override the main image otherwise you will get main image squashed...

Try to explain it some other way. You need to be more clear.

This tweak needs also option in Item settings to show/hide all 5 images in Items.

I will check if it is easy to tweak already existing option for top image. Copy code and change a little bit.

If you put new image positions it would be shown allways. Even if it is the same picture as picture at the top.

 

It would be perfect with some PHP code to put new positions after so many characters/words, etc....But, it is not easy.

It´s easy.

Open

administrator/components/com_k2/models/item.xml

and under your code for Item view options

---

> Image settings

put this:

 

<param name="itemImageLarge" type="list" default="" label="K2_IMAGE Large" description=""> <option value="">K2_INHERIT_FROM_CATEGORY</option> <option value="0">K2_HIDE</option> <option value="1">K2_SHOW</option> </param>

 

You need to rename in first code:

<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemImage') && !empty($this->item->image)): ?>

 

to:

<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemImageLarge') && !empty($this->item->image)): ?>

 

This is a example for Large Image under text. Repeat that process for all images you want in Item.

And rename them according that.

 

In Item Manager you get new options for Show/hide new images.

 

Hey cool it works just param code must be like this 

 

<param name="itemImageXSmall" type="list" default="" label="K2_IMAGE XSmall" description="">

 <option value="">Inherit from category</option>   

  <option value="0">Hide</option>     

<option value="1">Show</option>

</param>
