Can someone explain how the changes improve the handing of pagination for different takes, like when using tags in Joomla?

We have found a bunch of duplicate content on our site.

One of our k2 items has seven unique url's all of which resolve to the same content.

Here's a few of the urls:

   oursite.com/component/k2/turn-a-mercpv-into-two-identical-outputs

   oursite.com/ps-ac-power/turn-a-mercpv-into-two-identical-outputs

   oursite.com/ps-fs/turn-a-mercpv-into-two-identical-outputs

   oursite.com/ps-monitors/turn-a-mercpv-into-two-identical-outputs

The MercPV item shown in the urls above is a K2 Item.

It is assigned to only one K2 Category. It has one K2 Tag called EHelp.

I'm not understanding how all those url's are being generated.

We only one want URL for the K2 item.

I did find that there are Menu Items called:

ps-ac-power
ps-monitors
ps-fs

All of those Menu Items are K2 » Item listings » Tag types.

But each only has one tag assigned to it.

Can anyone offer any insight as to why one K2 Item is generating 7 urls?

Hello folks

We have a serious problem with a joomla site with K", The hosting provider says there is a problem with the DB

The main reason for high resource usage is:

Joomla 3.10.19 lts

I remember you telling us how good Joomla 3 is compared to the bad 4 & 5. We have been forced to pay support for Joomla 3 LTS but after every update we are looking for solutions to get it working. on the contrary, for months now I have never encountered any problem with my other sites in joomla 5
 

I couldn't find an easy way to do it.

This modal is created from a js file: jquery.magnific-popup.min.js

The problem: this js file is loaded from CDN, so you can't change its parameters.

Also, there's no easy way to change the title using jquery or java, since the content of the modal is generated on click (there's a solution, but not easy and it will consume some resources).

So, I guess the only option should be download jquery.magnific-popup.min.js, point it on K2 files (which is hack, and not a good thing, since you gonna have to write it again on every update) and than change this js file as you want.

OR the best way... if you use JCE, you can download JCE Media Box and activate the plugin.

After that, you can change the link for your image as follows:

So instead of using magnific popup, it will load JCE Media Box. The result should be like this:

cafecomfilme.com.br/images/cafe/image-popup.jpg

Hope it works.

Best of luck!

Hi,

in recent versions of K2, the category list does not show items translated anymore. 
Title and intro tags, "Tagged under" and "Read more ..." still appear translated, but not the items in the list, those remain in English.
The items detail pages are correct.

This still worked fine in version 2.10.3, not anymore since at least 2.11.20230505
(Joomla: 3.10.12)

Would you have a fix for this?

Thank you!

Ralf

Any idea about how to insert the introtext in modal popup view ?

So introtext appears just below imageXLarge.

The code to be inserted :

This is perfect, thank you !

Magnific Popup is only called on the item view, so it does not work on tag view by default.

To make it work, add this on your tag.php override (at the top of the file, right after the "defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');" line:

The rest of your code is fine.

Best luck!

Hello,

if anyone could help here withe these codes :

This is what I get in item view. When you click on the image you have a modal popup with the XL image:
I'm trying to get an item open in modal popup view when I click on the image of the item listed in tag listing. It should be opened with some basic info:
Image Title (itemTitle)
XL Image 
Description (itemFullText)

This is what i have done so far in tag.php

However the image will not open in modal view. Anyone can help ?

Thank you. I did that, but there are no redirects from the old tag links

Try it first, ask later.

And how will this solve the problem of duplicates? In materials, tags still have different addresses depending on the material category.

This is a MySQL/MariaDB hint.

It's useful because it instructs MySQL or MariaDB to place a limit on long SQL queries, typical in lists of items like categories, tags, search results etc.

Such lists (= the itemlist view in K2) can be abused by crawlers, bad actors etc., so it's a nice way to protect the health of your database. How do we know? Well, only because the highest traffic sites in the world are built with K2 and NOT Joomla's com_content.

And this is reason #385739485 why K2 kicks ass compared to poor old Joomla, whose trajectory is that of a falling satellite (hint: will it crash or burn first?).

We got big plans for 2024 for K2 but my mouth is sealed ;)

Create a hidden menu item somewhere. It doesn't have to be visible in any of your site menus.

In that menu item, make sure it points to all K2 categories (just don't select any categories). Use a good alias for the menu item, e.g. "show".

Now all your tags will be in the form of domain.tld/show/tag/whatever.

The limitation is in Joomla's routing, which forces us to do this "hack" of shorts...

This is different to the form your URLs have when using the Advanced SEF router in K2.

I have the tag prefix set, but it still produces a lot of duplicates

Either you create a menu item for each tag or either you can set a prefix in K2 > Settings > SEO > Custom SEF URLs > Prefix for tag URLs

How to do it? because I found an item where you can add one tag to the menu, not all
