Hello Krikor, thank you for your reply.
I used Google Chrome and openen the console to see any errors.

When i open the menu item i wish to change (now native joomla featured articles) i see the first error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: $K2 is not defined (url http://MyUrl/Subdir/administrator/index.php?option=com_menus&view=item&layout=edit&id=511:36)
(anoymous function) (same url as above)


After that is change the menu item type to K2 - > Tags
When it comes to the second page (where i can select a tag) it says:
Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function (url http://MyUrl/Subdir/administrator/index.php?option=com_k2&view=tags&task=element&tmpl=component&object=jform[request][tag]:313)
Onclick (url same url as above)


There a quite a few extensions i use... Is there a easy way to export a list of that?

Your setup seems to be solid (PHP version, memory limits etc..)

Check in your browser's developer tools for any JS errors.
Furthermore which other extensions are you using?

Hi there, i'm trying to create a menu item for my frontpage.
The Main Menuitem is K2 -> Selected "TAG"
After that i need to select the appropriate TAG(s) so i click on "Select" at "select tag".


A screen appears semi-fullscreen (without Joomla menu's) with the tags to select.


I'm not able to select any tags (nothing happens when i click a tag).
Any ideas how to fix this.

Joomla version 3.3.6
K2 version 2.6.9

Web Server Apache
PHP version 5.3.29
MySQL version 5.1.36
GD image library bundled (2.1.0 compatible)
Multibyte string support Enabled
Upload limit 2047M
Memory limit 256M
Open remote files (allow url fopen) Yes

These are paginated pages. These links are not duplicate content. The ?start parameter is added from Joomla!'s pagination.

If you want to play safe, you can use a canonical link plugin (for K2) which will either link to the initial author page and/or it will generate the rel next/previous tags.

It 's the "Enable K2 User Profile" setting in K2's advanced settings. Deactivating the profile will lead to several 404 errors which are bad since these URLs are already crawled.

I would suggest that you create a menu item towards all K2 categories. This way all the orphan authors and tags will render through that menu item. This way no more double content.

Hello,

The sitemap is not a part of K2.
K2 uses Joomla!'s router to generate URLs which means URLs can be accessible from either the menu item or the component itself (/component/com_k2 etc..).

Normally by mapping your content into menu items you won't have an issue with double content.
However having a plugin that generates the wrong sitemap both these URLs can be crawled.

You have two options to avoid duplicate content.
a) use sh404sef (which you are using)
b) use a canonical link plugin for K2.

The hidden menu towards all categories is not needed if you are using sh404sef. This method forces all orphan tags and users to render through that menu item, hence no duplicate urls for tags.

Hello,

The attachments are not available for the tag listings.
You can insert them manually by editing core files (/components/com_k2/models/item.php) but I strongly recommend against doing this.

First, I love K2. This make Joomla do the stuff Drupal does -- only better.

Second, I am editing tag.php to customize the layout to look like my category listings.

I need to include a download link for attachments.

When I do a <?php print_r($item); ?> I see that I can access nearly every field and property EXCEPT for the attachment.

Is there a setting I am missing? Or is it even possible to pull attachments into a tag list?

Hola a todos,

estoy desarrollando una web bastante grande la cual he migrado desde j1.5 a 3.3 y que tiene instalados K2 y Flexicontent.

He detectado problemas de compatibilidad al tener instalados ambos CCK en joomla 3.3 y las últimas versiones de estos, pero en los foros de Flexicontent me lo han podido solucionar como podréis ver en este enlace .

Me han recomendado crear un post para que en las próximas versiones de K2 se solucione el problema debido a que no solo pasa con este componente.

El error sale al cargar el modulo "K2_content" en un menú que no sea de k2 ni de joomla, en mi caso al mostrar las etiquetas muestra el siguiente error.

"Fatal error: Call to a member function getItemTags() on a non-object in (Nombre sitio)\modules\mod_k2_content\helper.php on line 356".

Parece ser un error del modulo en la línea 271 del archivo "/mod_k2_content/helper.php", la cual carga el primer "/model/item.php" que encuentra en la ruta de inclusión y al ser en mi caso del componente flexicontent carga el archivo de este en vez de el de k2.

La solución es agregar la ruta al archivo de k2 en "/mod_k2_content/helper.php" de la siguiente manera:

Sustituir:
$model = K2Model::getInstance('Item', 'K2Model');"
Por:
JLoader::import( 'components.com_k2.models.item', JPATH_SITE );
$model = K2Model::getInstance('Item', 'K2Model');

Gracias y saludos.

I would personally use a canonical link.
Since these URLs are already crawled the canonical tag would help you a lot.

Hi!

Here is my problem :

I set an Intro Text word limit in my categories, so when I use a k2 Category menu type everything works fine.

Now I'd like to set an Intro Text word limit for a latest items menu item (on my homepage)

My first idea was to set latest items menu item>Parameters >Intro Text to "Display"
From what I see, this parameter works only if I manually use "Read More" in each of my K2 items which is not what I want. What I'd like to get is an automatic intro text word limit, like I have when I use a K2 Category Menu Type.

So I checked different threads on this forum.

This is the closest I could get:
- Create a template override
- Edit latest-item.php
- Found <?php echo $this->item->introtext; ?>
- Replace it whith the following:
<?php echo K2HelperUtilities::wordLimit($this->item->introtext, 40); ?>

Works pretty well, except... videos I placed in the intro text area don't show anymore (I use All Videos plugin, insert videos right inside items using plugin tags)

Am I going the wrong way ? Any idea ?

Running Joomla 3.3.6
K2 2.7.0

It is better to create a hidden menu item towards all categories and name is as eg: content. This menu will render all orphan tags and users and you will have your RSS feed from that menu item.

Hi Joseph,

is xt-k2-link-item-extension as good as the Extension from Olivier Nolbert (jiliko) for Joomla2.5 was?

I've upgraded on Joomla3 and want to test xt-k2-link-item before buying, but dev. dont allows.

Regards

Here's an extension from a quality Joomla! developer...

XT-K2 Link Item
www.extly.com/utilities/xt-k2-link-item.html

When user creates or modifies a K2 article, links to related K2 articles can be defined as new attributes. The links can be fully managed with an associated editor button, a handy dialog button allows to administer associated K2 articles. Finally, in the front-end site, the list of linked K2 articles are shown.

I hope this helps :)

Hi. Go to K2 parameters and check the tag related options. There are some options there for normalization as well as for characters replacements.

Hi! I have a problems with tags after I updated k2 to v2.6.9

When I creating new article or editing existing article I trying to choose existing tag:





Then, after I saved article tags looks another:



So, K2 creates new tag:





Ok, I removed this tags and tried to create again:



But K2 again changes this tag:





What's going on?

Thanks.

Which version of K2 are you using?

Hi,

Disabling the tags in the K2 search plugin did solve the problem for now, so thank you for your input. However we obviously would like to keep searching in K2 tags because we do not add tags for no reason :)

So if anyone has a solution that let's us keep searching using K2 tags I'd gladly hear it.

Hello,
I had the same problem and it's because the K2 cloud filter only the tags in the module but not the items that comes up after the click.
To set a filter category i found here that i have to create a menu item for each tag and use the fillter of the menu item
