Scroll K2 item from a link was created by moonswolf

Hi, thankyou for all your informations on this forum.

I would ask you an information: i would know if is it possible to scroll from an item, to another, with a simple click on a link.

What i would do is this:

I've a category with 10 articles, sorted by date. When i'm on the secon article (for example) i would go on the next, only clicking on an arrow icon (maybe with a link) to go to the next article (the next always sorted.

Is this possible? And if yes, how can i to this?

Thankyou for all your help :)

Hi. Do you mean in the same page or to go to a different item page? The only functionality that K2 has built in is the item navigation in the bottom of item page.

Hi, thankyou for your reply :)

Yes i mean on the same page, so to be faster.
Is it possible?

If not, how can i move the navigation page to a module? (So to use the link as an arrow icon, right to go forward, and left to go back).

Thankyou as always.

There is no built in AJAX navigation. If you are familiar with javascript you can do it on your own. Every item link can give you a raw version for using in AJAX requests by appending "?format=raw" to the URL. The navigation is not a module. You can only move it inside the item page. If you want to change it's markup you can always create a template override. To learn more about this please read getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates .

You cannot put navigation into a module. K2 navigation links are dynamic and different for each item .

Hi, thankyou for your answer.

But how can i put (also in php code) a link to go to the next or previous article of a K2 category?

Cause if i can do this, i can put that code in a module...and it could be really usefull.

The code for going to next or previous item in a category can be found in the item.php file. However you cannot use this code in a module. This code is only available in the item view.

Do you know how to code this?

Or if is there already an ext for this?

You first need to clarify what you want to do. When you are on a category page you are viewing a list of items. What will the next and previous links will do? Take you to the next category? The next page of items? Since you are viewing a list of items there is no next and previous item, there is only next and previous page of items.

Thankyou, sorry but i've not explained myself :P

I would go next and prev when i'm in an item page, not in the category view.

So, when i'm reading an article, goes to the next article (of that category) or previous, simply with a click, that i would put on the sticky right position (that i've in my template).

So i can go prev or next article, simply clicking on that link.

Item navigation is already there at the end of the item. Just go to K2 category of this item and enable item navigation in the item view settings.

To change the appearance you need to write custom CSS code. Regarding the position you can place it wherever you want inside the item.php layout. You cannot put it on a module.

Of course. The item navigation is produced by the following code:

  <?php if($this->item->params->get('itemNavigation') && !JRequest::getCmd('print') && (isset($this->item->nextLink) || isset($this->item->previousLink))): ?>
  <!-- Item navigation -->
  <div class="itemNavigation">
  	<span class="itemNavigationTitle"><?php echo JText::_('K2_MORE_IN_THIS_CATEGORY'); ?></span>

		<?php if(isset($this->item->previousLink)): ?>
		<a class="itemPrevious" href="<?php echo $this->item->previousLink; ?>">
			&laquo; <?php echo $this->item->previousTitle; ?>
		</a>
		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if(isset($this->item->nextLink)): ?>
		<a class="itemNext" href="<?php echo $this->item->nextLink; ?>">
			<?php echo $this->item->nextTitle; ?> &raquo;
		</a>
		<?php endif; ?>

  </div>
  <?php endif; ?>
