No PHP script is needed Rakesh.
You can lock the tags and use a specified set of tags by default in K2.

Take a look at the Tag System Settings in K2's advanced parameters.

My K2 system enables registered users to add K2 items.

Right now I removed the ability for registered users to add tags to their items. The reason for this is that everybody uses way to many and often duplicates but slightly different.

Only way I can use K2 tags by users is with these limitations in place:

- Users can only select predefined list of K2 tags (preferred listing the once used already)
- Users can only select max 3 tags

So I need a php script for the custom html k2 form that displays all the K2 tags in a list. When clicked it will add them to the tags field, but max 3 only.


This would really improve my k2 system.

Hope there is someone that can help with this.

Hello, This sounds more like a template issue.
An unclosed HTML tag.
Without a link however it is impossible to tell.

Ciao, sembra un conflitto con il modulo multilingua per le versioni aggiornate a 3.4.1, come dite. Disabilitandolo, il problema sparisce.
Un bug evidente, già segnalato agli sviluppatori.
Qui c'è una discussione
github.com/joomlaworks/k2/issues/232
e qui c'è la fix
github.com/joomlaworks/k2/commit/4bbfd5cf0cf3911dbbf5393a4bcd882ec111ff99

Mit k2 werden bei mir einige Artikel "getagged" werden. Nun kann man diesen Artikel über unterschiedliche Menüs/URL erreichen.

Beispiel: Die Marke Furnlab ist unter der Kategorie Lifestyle: goo.gl/Y2O2X4

aber auch unter der Kategorie: Lifestyle/Kleiderschraenke erreichbar: goo.gl/9qYHa9
mit identischem Content.

Ich verweise mit einem "canonical" auf den Artikel, siehe: goo.gl/P2z9Mf

Stellt diese Form des DC für den Googlebot ein Problem dar, da die Artikel in mehreren Unterkategorien erscheinen können, wie z.B. Tische, Sessel etc.


Danke vorweg für die Antworten!

Hy Leute,
ich hoffe wirklich, dass hier jemand helfen kann, weil ich nach 5 Tagen "try and error" hier langsam meinen PC aus dem Fenster schmeißen möchte...

Ich habe eine neue Domain für eine private HP angemeldet. Dann ein jommla installiert und danach ein K2 und das Takai Template von joomlaworks. Fehlt nur noch ein netter Slider für Fotos - mehr will ich gar nicht :-)

Zum Problem: Nach Installation von K2 habe ich erst eine neue Kategorie in K2 angelegt und dann mal 8 Artikel mit Foto.
Nun möchte ich gern das Layout für die ersten 2 Artikel 2 spaltig - danach jeweils 3 spaltig haben. Diese Einstellungen (für die weiteren Subgruppen auch jeweils 3 Spaltig) habe ich dann in der Kategorie eingetragen.... und das Ergebnis... tataaa - immer die ersten 2 Artikel sind einspaltig, dann kommen 4 Artikel mit 2 Spalten und der Rest wieder einspaltig (scheint so was wie eine Standardeinstellung von K2 zu sein...)
Und egal, was ich auch einstelle in der Kategorie - die Spalten Einstellung bleibt gleich :-((((
Das einzige, was ich ändern konnte, waren die Größen der Bilder der Artikel. Diese Änderung ließ sich aber auch nur in der "Master" Einstellungen vornehmen, aber nicht in der Kategorie.

BITTE BITTE - lasst mich nicht verzweifeln - und helft mir pls

Hi,

we have fixed a couple of bugs plus we have added the possibility to edit Extra Field groups from the front end and associate Extra Fields Groups to user profiles in the backend. We are working on showing the associated user extra field groups in the frontend. We have amended the file and added a new archive. Which can be downloaded from

github.com/jameswadsworth/k2/releases/tag/v0.6-alpha

BEWARE - this is only for testing purposes. It should only by used on a test/development site.

Let me know how you get on.

Please do not double-post.
This has been resolved in the dev version.

Thanks for your fast response Ari!

How frustrating - I'm new to K2 but seems the development is a bit on the slow side - this is core functionality isn't it?

Would you be willing to share your script Ari?

Nick

Thanks; I get:
mootools-core.js:108:0

"Yes" and no.

As there was no solution at hand, I coded a simple quick and dirty php script which allows the tagging by simply

1) selecting K2 item from list

2) selecting the tags by ticking the corresponding checkbox(es)

3) pressing save.

Authentication is done by basic auth - quick and dirty there as well. :)

Hello,

Can you look for any JS errors in your browser's developer tools?
These will appear under the console tab (you might need to refresh the page).

Hello, I'm attempting to implement selection-based tagging on k2 2.6.9 on Joomla 3.4.1. When activated the following appears to malfunction when in Item Editor:

1. The add tags function adds tags to the database but they don't show in the 'available tags' list until the item is saved.
2. The 'add' and 'remove' tags buttons don't move the selection between the the 'available' and 'selected' list.

Any ideas whether this is a bug or an error on my part somehow? I've tried this on live hosting as well as MAMP and in both Firefox and Chrome with identical behaviour.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Franz,

thank you very much for your feedback. In answer to your first issue. Notice: Please select a category first to retrieve its related "Extra Fields"...". This message will be shown if you have not associated any extra fields with the extra fields group(s) you are have associated with the category. In future releases we will change the message here to something more relevant.

Regarding the error message in the front-end item display we have fixed the bug and a new version v0.5 can be downloaded from

I have the same issue. Can I continue this issue to get it fix?
I have Joomla 3.4.1, SIG Pro 3.0.7, PHP 5.5

I embed flickr galleries to my K2 item.

When I have a trailing slash, I saw the code display in a content instead of a gallery.
{gallery}www.flickr.com/photos/maglab/sets/72157630728650072/{/gallery}

When I do not have a trailing slash, I receive the message below.
There was a problem rendering your image gallery. Please make sure that the folder you are using in the Simple Image Gallery Pro plugin tags exists and contains valid image files. The plugin could not locate the folder:

Please advise.
Thank you,
M

First, locate the file "item.php" used by the template.

If the template uses a K2 subtemplate for its location should be as follows:

/templates/NAME_OF_TEMPLATE/html/com_k2/templates/default/item.php

If this is NOT a subtemplate its position will be as follows:

/components/com_k2/templates/default/item.php

when you find the correct file, find the section of code that defines attachments within articles K2.
Usually "should" be present commentary:

<! - Item attachments ->

If there is noT search for the tags:

itemAttachmentsBlock

So position yourself BEFORE the code for the lock and enter the level control of who is viewing the page, not allowing the visibility to users "guest"

<? Php $ user = JFactory :: getUser (); ?>

<? Php if ($ this-> item-> params-> get ('itemAttachments') && count ($ this-> item-> attachments)):?>
<? Php if ($ user-> guest):?>
<P> Please log in to access the attachments </ p>
<? Php else:?>

Replace "Please log in to access the attachments" text with the text as you like ...

then at the END add closing:


<? Php endif; ?>
<? Php endif; ?>

and that's all!

Thanks! I found acymailing and installed that extension. however I'm having issues with it. Initially I installed the K2 version. Then I installed the starter and disabled the K2 version. Seemed like it was working well, but I couldn't a test message to send properly. The newsletter wasn't in the email. So I deleted the newsletter and tried to start over. But now whenever I go to create a newsletter and go to tag an article it gives me an error. Any suggestions on how to fix that?

Hello Michelle,

You can edit the slider K2 content template (templates/numodusversus/html/mod_k2_content/slider/default.php) and remove the <a> tags.

If you mean the slideshow, then the path is templates/numodusversus/html/mod_k2_content/slideshow/

Hi Franz,

thank you for the bug report. There was in fact an error in the script.k2.php file. I have amended the file and added a new archive. Which can be downloaded from

github.com/jameswadsworth/k2/releases/tag/v0.4-alpha
