Thanks Krikor. It helps :)

But I have an interesting case, especially for the tag.php Here it is:
In my template folder -> in html->com_k2 (for overrides) I have two k2 templates. One is called default and the other is my own one (almost same as default but with small changes) Interesting is that if I change something in my template (for ex. tag.php - the file is the same in the two templates) the tag listing has no effect, but when I change the same thing in the default folder all is working great.

Do you have any idea why is that ?

Hi, I Do have extra fields in the K2 of meta description and tags and also tags on the top as you can see int he picture.
see the picture here
however in the code it seems does't get it this need to get the content for the meta description from there...
you can see for yourself in the following webpage - as an example
and no - it doesn't work although I've disabled the Sh404sef seo functions.

Thanks,

K2 by default assigns only one category per item. You have two options.
a) Use tags for the locations or
b) Use an extension called K2 additional categories.

I have few questions:

a) How can I display the articles within tags in a menu list? The K2 Tools only has Category List (Menu) or Tag Cloud.

b) As the additional categories site is down, I cannot install the extension. Could someone provide the zip-archive?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi Nurit,

Before you can implement the solution I provided that post , you need to do the following:

1) Create an extra field group (and assign to category) if not already done
2) Create the extra fields for each respective tag: "title_tag" and "meta_description" (assigned to extra field group)
3) Input data into the extra fields for item(s)
4) Remove the default meta title & description produced by K2 (I use NoNumber ReReplacer as to not hack the code)

I hope this helps,

A few days ago, NoNumber has issued a version of Advanced module Manager Pro that supports K2 V3.
Lets hope that they have some internal info that V3 development is coming to the final stage.

OK I think I understand what the problem is. K2 can't handle spaces. I knew this to be a problem with names of images, much to the frustration of my users. But now the inability to handle spaces seems to have stretched itself to tags. A new challenge ;).

Hi,

I'm updating a website for a client I did one year ago. At the time, everything was running smoothly but know I'm experiencing issues with editing K2 items on backend.

When I try to edit an item, the backend freezes. Sometimes I get the "500 Internal Server Error", which I've checked on Godaddy error logs and were about memory shortage. I've extended the php script memory to 256MB (uploading an php.ini file) and that particular problem ceased but the issue with k2 persists. Some other times, K2 items actually work but they take ages to open and the results are not visible on the front end (for example, changing the order of the items on a page).

I have downloaded K2 and reinstalled it without any improvements.

I could use of some help here! Thanks.

Hello,

The closing tag will be printed only if it is the last tag AND it is an odd number.

Most WYSIWYG editors have settings that allow/ block certain tags (<script> being one of them). These settings are located on the editor's plugin settings.

Hi i can't figure out if there's a way to define posts order in the author page.
In k2 parameters i can find order for tag list, but not for author page.
I'd like to order for recent post
Thanks a lot

Hi Scott,

Forget about using tags, instead I would recommend placing all of your content into categories (especially for your type of business/website).
This way all of your content will look and function the same.

You can use the following plugin to place K2 items into multiple categories:
extensions.joomla.org/profile/extension/extension-specific/k2-extensions/additional-categories-for-k2

Your site looks really good. I would recommend cleaning up your URLs (remove: item number, index.php & k2-shop with each URL)

I hope this helps.

To all,
I have an issue with formatting Tags in K2. I currently have tags listed at the bottom of my products page. However, the tags page with the products are not looking like my category pages.

Here is what I need it to look like:
nz.scottgaskill.com/index.php/k2-shop/ebt-products

Here is what the tags page currently looks like:
nz.scottgaskill.com/index.php/k2-shop/ebt-products/itemlist/tag/Muscle%20Mass
You have to scroll down to see the products and it is not formatted correctly.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi all
I am having a really weird issue with some images in K2. I wanted to change an item image so I deleted the original and saved the item and then added a new one and saved again.
Now, the old image still shows on the website but the new image shows when editing an item. Weirdly, if I go to the item list and view the image preview I get the old picture again.
I have had a look on the server and there is no trace of the old image in media/k2/items/cache only the new picture. If I access the picture in my browser then I get the old picture even with a fresh browser and in private browsing mode.
I have cleared the site cache.
Another weird thing is that even after deleted all of the picture iterations in media/k2/items/cache I can still access the picture in my browser (even though there is nothing on the server!
www.countrycottageholiday.com/media/k2/items/cache/245effadf41c6129f4fe7accc564ef86_Generic.jpg = correct
www.countrycottageholiday.com/media/k2/items/cache/245effadf41c6129f4fe7accc564ef86_L.jpg = correct
www.countrycottageholiday.com/media/k2/items/cache/245effadf41c6129f4fe7accc564ef86_M.jpg = correct
www.countrycottageholiday.com/media/k2/items/cache/245effadf41c6129f4fe7accc564ef86_XL.jpg = wrong
www.countrycottageholiday.com/media/k2/items/cache/245effadf41c6129f4fe7accc564ef86_S.jpg = wrong
www.countrycottageholiday.com/media/k2/items/cache/245effadf41c6129f4fe7accc564ef86_XS.jpg = correct

I must stress that when I view all of these images via ftp then they are correct but when I view them in my browser they are wrong. Does anyone know the reason for this?

You can use these conditional tags:

I have a big problem with the database for a site I am building. I have 3 table prefixes and abut half the entries in the database do not show up in K2 Categories as either "current" or "Trashed."

I will need to go through the database and delete rows one by one and look at all the foreign keys and delete the rows in the table pointed to by those foreign keys, being careful to make sure that the database item pointed to by the foreign key isn't referenced by another K2 items or K2 Category.

This will be a lot of work, but I can't see any better way to do this because I am not sure what is keepable and what needs to go until I look at each item.

These are the tales I need to sort through:

Structure dclvt_k2_attachments
Structure dclvt_k2_categories
Structure dclvt_k2_comments
Structure dclvt_k2_extra_fields
Structure dclvt_k2_extra_fields_groups
Structure dclvt_k2_items
Structure dclvt_k2_multiple_categories
Structure dclvt_k2_multiple_extra_field_groups
Structure dclvt_k2_rating
Structure dclvt_k2_tags
Structure dclvt_k2_tags_xref
Structure dclvt_k2_users
Structure dclvt_k2_user_groups

I also have these tables in the same database

Structure yo7vx_k2_attachments
Structure yo7vx_k2_categories
Structure yo7vx_k2_comments
Structure yo7vx_k2_extra_fields
Structure yo7vx_k2_extra_fields_groups
Structure yo7vx_k2_items
Structure yo7vx_k2_multiple_extra_field_groups
Structure yo7vx_k2_rating
Structure yo7vx_k2_tags
Structure yo7vx_k2_tags_xref
Structure yo7vx_k2_users
Structure yo7vx_k2_user_groups

Plus I have tables with table prefixes other than yo7vx and dclvt_k2 like below

Structure burpo_finder_links_terms0
Structure burpo_finder_links_terms1
Structure burpo_finder_links_terms2
Structure burpo_finder_links_terms3
Structure burpo_finder_links_terms4
Structure burpo_finder_links_terms5
Structure burpo_finder_links_terms6

Perhaps I should ask if there is a database tool that will help me in cleaning this up.

It is possible if you override the tag.php, user.php and generic.php files.
Locate:
And replace the Generic part with the size you want.

More on overrides can be found here: getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

Hi all,
is there a chance K2 to use only one image size - for ex. Large Image. I managed to do this in the category settings, but still for tag, search & date listings K2 is using the Generic image size and file. Is there a chance to change this to use the Large Image file ?

Thank you in advance

Hello,

You have to ways of doing this:
a) www.joomlaworks.net/blog/item/196-enhancing-your-k2-site-part-1-better-search-results

or b) Create an menu towards ALL K2 categories and call it eg: content. This way all orphan tags, user and serach results will render though this view.

Hello,

These videos will help you get started with K2.

K2 by default assigns only one category per item. You have two options.
