Have a site that imports feeds as k2 content daily and site size is growing very fast which impacts our server storage capacity.

Would love to take advantage of S3 integration and upgrade to v3.
- Is this feature of v3 stable at this time?

On more general note...
How far from production use is the current dev version?
Or better yet which features of dev v3 are not finished?

This list would save a ton of hours on verification of things working properly.

Appreciate the help.

I have introtext set at 150 words and stripping set to exclude p.em and a href. It was working fine a week ago, but now isn't and I haven't changed anything, except upgraded to Joomla 3.5.1.

Fulltext has stripping turned off, yet it was stripping hyperlinks out. I added a href to INTROTEXT and now K2 happily displays links in the fulltext. Makes no sense.

Tried to add an image showing my settings but Add File doesn't work. Settings are:

Introtext HTML Cleanup - Yes
HTML tags NOT to strip: p.em.a href
HTML tags TO BE stripped - <empty>
Fulltext HTML cleanup - No
Both next fields are empty.

You must again use PHP and query the database table macb_k2_tags in order to get the data you want.

Yes, I already use this code.
This is strange problem....

When I open category, K2 displays - No comments for item.




But when I open item page - it displays comments correct.



I use Jcomments.

Add this code to your tag.php and specifically inside the loop that displays the K2 items

You understood me wrong.

I need to get Tag name in tags template /components/com_k2/templates/default/tag.php

The URL pattern you see here, was created from a menu item.
Create a blank K2 categories menu item (leave the category selection empty) and call it eg: show or content, this will create the URL pattern you see there.

Yes, but I still need get tag name (variable) in template, because I need to add descritption for this tag page.



My idea is to make tags pages same as categories pages.
Users should not see the difference between these pages.

I haven't installed any extension like admin tools. Also , I've already tried to change htaccess rules but I didn't gain any result. I would be appreciate if you take a look at my htaccess:

RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

## End - Joomla! core SEF Section.

I should add this, I have exactly the same htaccess ( and extensions) on the local host but there isn't any problem! The only difference is that I have joomla 2.5 there and a 3.4 version here.

Thanks again.

Hi,
You can create a K2 tag menu item and add the Meta Description and Keywords at the menu metadata options.

Hi!

I need items on tags pages have commments count.

I added code

but it always displays "0 comments"...
Thanks.

Hi!

I need to modificate meta titles and descriptions on tags pages.
http://mysites/news/tags/tag1

But I want to make it only using templates overrides.

How I can get tag name (variable) in template file /components/com_k2/templates/default/tag.php

Thanks.

Hi,
The selection tag mechanism is totally different than the categories.
Categories are preloaded in a tree structure inside an html select element that is rendered by bootstrap offering you the search functionality you mentioned.
On the other hand tags are loaded on demand with ajax request every time you type in the appropriate field. In order for this to work you will need the following

- create a query that loads all tags in alphabetic order.
- fetch the data from the query and display it in a select element that is the same type as the categories select element.
- Disable the old tag input.
- Finally you must handle the data during the save-update procedure of the K2 item.

I found the answer in another topic : www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/45159-solved-$item-tags-empty-in-tag-php

I know it is not recommended to edit the k2 core, but no choice, I need to display attachments and tags in the tag.php

What I did, if someone has the same problem :
/!\ BE CAREFUL /!\
always keep a backup of your edit in case of a update
always be careful when editing core files
/!\

in the /components/com_k2/models/item.php file, edit
Tags : line 107 :to
Attachments : line 187 :to

Hello,

You will need to hack the core of K2 in order to achieve this. I would not recommend performing this edit.

HI!

You told, that in K2 v.2.7.0 will be possible to get cyrillic tags with latin slugs.

I configured replacement



Then I created new cyrillic tags - but urls still contains cyrillic symbols...

Can you point me in right direction, how to get cyrillic tags with latin

tag = проверка
slug = proverka

Thanks.

The %20 can be explained here: github.com/getk2/k2/issues/71
From what I can see the special character issue is gone now with the new character replacements.

It's still wrong. What I did:

I added all the characters you gave (I've tried it earlier, as well), checked the global configuration.

What's symptomatic and what I've noticed is a fact that, when I for example create a new K2 menu item, which is K2 » Item listings » Tag it generates a proper url (lowers the letters adds dash etc). All other Url-s in the template are fine.

The thing is only with the item list by tag, generated from item.

Since, I've added all the characters, you've suggested. The only change is that, when I add a new tag with special characters in it to the item, it doesn't allow me to do so. So a displayed tag) in item is without the special characters (which certainly is not, what we want), so obviously it generates URL without special characters, but also without dashes, and even lowering the letters.

In my browser it looks like this:

www.sportowyobiektyw.pl/wideo/tag/Lukasz Fabianski

For Google it is:

www.sportowyobiektyw.pl/wideo/tag/Lukasz%20Fabianski

There must be an issue within K2, of how it generates URLs for item listing by tag, for tags with special characters - generated from items.

I have tried it on an empty but the same template, for different domain, and it's the same. Please help.

Can we try a couple of things?
a) Paste the entire character set for replacements.
b) Try adding a new tag.

No I haven't used this kind of extensions at any point.
