Hi, I love K2 but it's very frustrating that the Read More button shows up for every article, whether or not it's needed. I found a code adjustment that fixes this problem in the Category Item view:

Changeto
and it works perfectly, only displaying the Read More button when there is actually more to read. However, I'm not sure how to adjust the code to achieve the same result for tag view and archive view. Can you please help me?

Also, when displaying items by tag, the posts show up all out of order and not by date, as they do in the category view. How can I fix that?

Thanks!

I am trying to understand why certain K2 url's are not navigating correctly:

Works: urbanswank.com/the-buzz/item/1512-rodeo-goat-ice-house-to-open-in-eado
Does Not Work: urbanswank.com/item/1512-rodeo-goat-ice-house-to-open-in-eado

Because the second link goes to my home page, it is creating high priority SEO issues due to duplicate titles. Ultimately, I need to determine how I can point the second URL to the correct article versus having it display my home page. It is doing this for every article and I have over a thousand. The better option would be to get rid of the second link altogether so I don't have duplicates.

1. I have menu items created for each of my K2 categories
2. I have Joomla SEF turned on, but I am not using any other plugin (I did purchase SH404SEF and the K2 plugin today if that would help)
3. I am using SEO Simple plugin but that only configures my meta description and title tags for some pages. It does not route or rewrite.

They were correct to do this

Hello,
I've got a J2.5 site with K2 2.6.9 installed.

I've setup a J3 site. Then installed K2.6.9 into this J3 site. I then exported the J2.5 database tables and imported them into the J3 tables.

I've ran the update on the J3 site and now have K2 2.7.1 However even though the tags are visible in the backend they have disappeared when viewing an item. The tags_xref table contains all the ids and seems to be exactly the same as the J2.5 site.

I've tried clearing the cache, the databases seem to all be OK.

Why are the tags not displayed in the J3 K2 2.7.1 items yet are in the database tables?

Thanks

Lee

Deactivate all modules until you find which one causes the issue, and contact the module's developer.
If it's the template you need to contact the template's developer.

Allright, but how can i fix this ?

Please see www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/47024-error-1064-for-k2-tags

Hello,

The page is working with the default template -> www.actugame.net/actu-jeux-video/tag/PS4?template=protostar

This means that this is most probably a template issue or a module (K2 related) which is present on tags views creates this issue.

Bonjour à tous, je viens vers vous pour vous exposer mon problème, sachant que je suis novice et que le code n'est vraiment pas mon truc...



Depuis quelques temps, je me retrouve avec une erreur sql si je clique sur les tags rentrés dans mes articles (composant k2) sur mon site joomla.

exemple de page ici :

www.actugame.net/les-vid%C3%A9os/tag/microsoft



le message :

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 SQL=SELECT * FROM #__k2_categories WHERE id=

Si vous avez une idée de solution je suis prenneur car là, je suis largué. Merci de vulgariser au maximum pour mes pauvres compétences. :)

If there are many Authors, and they are using similar tags it would be cool to have a possibility to merge those tags, don't You think?

Are we talking about lowercase/uppercase ?
This would have to be a custom script but it would be nice.

So, there must be some function which puts those keywords to tags. Could you let users to choose if they want to do this - like checkbox before migration process?

Care to make a feature request here:
github.com/getk2/k2

PS. You might want to take a look at K2 Import's functionality. (Not affiliated with that extension)

Hi, I love K2 but don't understand why the Read More button is BELOW the tag list at the bottom of the intro text in the category view. It makes much more sense to have the Read More button right next to or just below the intro text and then the tags, etc. under that. In fact, the demo on the K2 site shows the Read More link above the tags.

I've followed the instructions for a template override but must be doing something wrong because it's not working. The Read More button is not moving. Can someone please tell me exactly what code needs to be changed or moved (and where it needs to go), in exactly which file, in order to move the Read More button up to where the intro text is? Thanks!

I checked the database and I see that keywords were migrated. So, there must be some function which puts those keywords to tags. Could you let users to choose if they want to do this - like checkbox before migration process? or just write how to modify script to not to do it? please.

Hello Kirkor, thanks for reply, but... :)
searching isn't my biggest concern right now (and I know that I must enable it before use).

Displaying of posts choosed by tag isn't working as it should (I think that because of duplicate tags). The same reason cloud tags isn't working well. List of tags in K2 item's editor has many duplicated entries. For example: one of the popular keyword was used over 100 times, now I have over 100 tags named the same. I can't manually manage all of over 3 thousands of tags (If I could merge them, then the number of tags should be about 100-150 entries).

If I can't import Joomla article's keywords to K2 item's keywords, what I need is a solution to merge existed tags with the same name.

BTW I think that K2 need a more advanced tool to manage tags. If there are many Authors, and they are using similar tags it would be cool to have a possibility to merge those tags, don't You think?

Nice to hear that you got it sorted out.

Hello Robo,

By default the searching within tags is not enabled.
You can enable ti from the K2 Search plugins' settings.
