They are indeed related.
I can offer some generic advice I do not know the specifics of your template.

If your template uses/ Bootstrap or Foundation I would apply the grid classes to the tag.php file.
If not, then you should manually create simple grid classes.

Finally if the typography is different you can replace the tagItemxx classes with the ones that are used in the category_item.php.

Keep in mind that there are dependencies/ inheritance depending on your template. You might need to alter the container's classes as well.

Hi Krikor,

I apologize but maybe I should have created a new thread. Though the topics are related, ultimately making the tag view layout appear like the category view layout is more important than the read more issue, since I figured out a workaround for that problem.

So, if I want to specifically make tag layout appear as category layout, can you give me some advise please?

Thanks!

Gosh, I am really confused with this sub-templating concept.

Ultimately all I want to do is have my tag view look identical to my category view.

I have read many articles and the overrides page Krikor linked to above about this, but am just too dense. lol

Is there any other tutorials or info someone can provide me?

I don't want to have to hire someone to do this, when I should probably be able to do it myself.

Many thanks.

Hello Todd,

Your website is using the EnergizeThemes "Omega" theme - www.energizethemes.com/Joomla-Templates/Omega-Joomla-Template.html

If you view the source on the blog list and item pages, you will see that the template does not utilize H1 or H2 tags.
demo.energizethemes.com/omega/our-blog.html

I would recommend contacting the developer and requesting assistance as utilizing H1 and H2 tags are a web standard.
Or you can hire a Joomla! K2 developer to create override files that include the tags.

I hope this helps,

Joe Campbell

Hello,

Every part of K2 can be overriden.
getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

You can use overrides in order to add the proper header tags for your site.

I am using Joomla 3.4.5 with K2 2.6.9 ( ecaminc.com ) and I am trying to understand/debug header tags.

SEO tools ding me as I do not have any H1 tags on any of my pages. I have tried using the standard Joomla Menu Page Title and display that (which in non-K2 menus show as an H1), but K2 does make those H1 tags, it shows them as <div class="componentheading">. So how do I make a menu category listing show an H1 tag and have all the articles in the list as H2 (they are H3, now). Then after clicking on an item, how can I have the Item Title be an H1?

Or, am I thinking about this all wrong and need to be addressing this another way? After all I cannot help but think others have this same issue. As I have not seen it posted here, I assume I am missing some basic configuration on K2.

Thanks,
Todd

Great to hear that Krikor!
I will try as soon as it arrives...in the meantime let me ask you how to solve a small thing.
I need to get the 'itemTitle' without using queries.
So after many trials...I was wondering why not use the main code of K2 item to load the page title.
So I have inserted the code below into a module as plain php, this module is loaded into a K2 article so I think there is no need to load >>required/import and so on...but maybe I have done some general mistakes.

For this reason At this stage I was asking if there where a direct access to object like 'itemTitle' or why the standard k2 item portion for itemtitle doesen-t work into another part..
Thanks for your help!

A simple <a> tag. Who would have guessed :)

Thank you!

By the way I was experiencing problems with your code (the images didn't show up) but I got the general idea.

Here is what worked for me:

Hi,

I am optimzing my clients website with hreflang tags which by default are available within the plugin of joomla. Now I notice that the hreflang tags do exist for the category overview blog in K2:
www.artas.nl/fr/actualites

But not for the articles itself in K2:
www.artas.nl/fr/actualites/item/241-cinematique-inverse

why is that? How to enable that?

here, www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/43711-k2-search-module-display-multiple-results-on-the-same-line?limitstart=0
Lefteris who is a Moderator, says that "K2 tags are searchable only when the Joomla! search is used. Just go to the Search - K2 plugin and set it up to search tags. Note that you will have to use mod_search and not mod_k2_tools for that. "
I do not know if I can get the desired result with K2 search ?

I have found out how to do this.

Edit the template file in:

components --> com_k2 --> templates --> default --> tag.php

Add the following code to the top just above the start of the K2 Tag layout

Save the file in your template overrides folder, ie:

templates --> yourtemplate --> html --> com_k2 --> default --> tag.php

This has worked for me

It does not work. I put a tag by recording an image in K2 but when I search this tag, it will turn back any results.

Sorry I have posted many times, I was desperate.
Thank you for your answer, but speaking of Google Image, I was not referring to the search criteria options to refine it, but rather the possibility to search an image with multiple tags it contains. For example, if I put "white tree" it will show me all images with the two tags "white tree." Sadly for the moment with K2 search, I can not have a return as soon as I put two tags in the search bar. I do not know if I have better explained now ?

sorry pleaz, I am doing a website that will act as GOOGLE IMAGES. So I have several picture and we can do a search in these images from defined tags on each.
for now I use K2 images and with K2 search, I managed just to do the research on the images but only with a single criterion. When I put two, it finds nothing.
Thank you to tell me how I can get the income GOOGLE IMAGE.

Bonjour, je fais un site web qui sera un peu comme Google images. J'ai donc plusieurs images et il doit être possible de faire une recherche dans ces images selon des mot-clés ou tags définis sur chacune d'elles.
Pour l'instant j'ai utilisé les K2 image et aussi K2 search, mais je réussis juste pour faire la recherche sur les images seulement avec un seul mot-clé. Dès que j'en mets deux, il ne trouve rien.
Merci de me dire comment je peux obtenir le résultat de Google Image s'il vous plait.

@Joe Campbell,

Thanks for your comments. I had found the page that describes the hacks and played with a couple that did work for me. But, I reverted back to being non-hacked and hope I can stay that way. :-) I sure wish that K2 tags would allow for nesting and reordering. :-)

I am also VERY interested to hear how your experience with Inceptive Multiple Categories for K2 as I also love the ability to get support. I wonder if they or anybody else has extended the TAGs so that they can be nested like the regular Joomla tags. If I could have Multiple Categories AND Nested Tags I would be very pleased. Apparently that can be done in straight Joomla, without using K2 by using the software CW Multicategories: extensions.joomla.org/extension/cw-multicategories
They also apparently have some Tag extending software but I have not found a description of what those extensions are. :-)

Sean

PS. Please keep me informed about what you find from Inceptive! :-)

@SeanCarney This is so crazy, I was just taking notes on this very same matter this morning.

I have a serious need to publish content into multiple categories. I recently explored the option of utilizing tags to keep everything K2 core, hence my post (see below). I quickly realized, that I need the fully feature of categories to properly present my content.

K2 Tags vs Categories
www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/44148-k2-tags-vs-categories

Currently, I am using Additional Categories for K2. It seems to be working well on the frontend, but I am not able to see items when I filter using an additional category (works fine for primary category sorting). I posted my issue to the Netpin support forum - awaiting a response:
www.netpin.gr/forum/2-support/241-view-additional-cat-items-in-backend-item-list

Note: I did have to modify a file or two, documentation and downloadable files are available on the Netpin website:
www.netpin.gr/documentation/item/2-k2-additional-categories

I compiled the following list of requirements:

* Performance (can anyone tell me how either plugins impact performance?)
* Backend Item List Filtering
* K2 2.7 and v3 Compatibility
* Minimal Hacks
* Support

I am now considering trying Inceptive Multiple Categories for K2, as it is a paid extension (which I prefer) and would assume provides better support. I also like the developer has multiple K2-related extensions. This makes me feel as though they are fully invested into K2.

Now the question is which plugin should I utilize? I am open to any suggestions.

Note: I did send the Netpin developer a donation as way of saying thank you for their contribution to the K2 Ecosystem :)

Just to clarify, the tag filtering will be included in K2 content module, not the K2 Tools module.
