Plugin to easily alter K2 category and items layout without template coding was created by Nadal Kumar
With this plugin and K2 template override, there will be no need to create multiple templates for varying content types eg: real estate listing, business directory, event listing, blog etc.
The method uses shortcode place holders to layout K2 data objects anywhere in any view. Many selectable preset styles are included and each can be rearranged to suit. Also an override method allows a user to create own set of style presets to be included in the select list.
examples
The following shortcodes are set in the category configuration and will produce the format as shown at directory.websitedons.net/homes
This next layout will output each item in the category as shown at the page directory.websitedons.net/k2-item
Also included are specialized custom fields to make a K2 item very intriguing and retain more viewers.
The possibilities are endless!
