To get rid of the id you indeed need a menu link.
If you want to simply clean up your URLS you can use this method:

Create a menu link to K2 categories and don't select any category. This way, all unresolved links will be assigned to this menu, preventing duplicates.

This will affect orphan tags as well.

Alternatively you can use an extension like sh404sef

i have the same problem- any ideas??? You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' 6661)' at line 1 SQL=INSERT INTO g3qth_k2_tags_xref (`id`, `tagID`, `itemID`) VALUES (NULL, , 6661)

You need to disable Joomla!'s canonical urls for K2.

www.robertwent.com/blog/joomla/87-how-to-remove-joomla-s-canonical-tag-without-hacking-the-core

You have to use an extension which supports K2 to add canonical links to your K2 items.

Unfortunately the only way to filter each tags results is through menu items.
You can also change your URLs entirely and have clean urls for tags.
This will however change all your tag/ user URLs.

To do this create a menu link to K2 categories and don't select any category. This way, all unresolved links will be assigned to this menu.

The word limit for the introtext will strip all HTML tags, including the images.
You can also cleanup your HTML from K2's parameters (Content Cleanup section/ Content tab).

You do not need to hack K2 core files.
You will lose all your changes when you update.

This has to be done via template overrides.
You need to check if the image is both set and present.

This post will help you on template overrides.

But what am I testing for? I can't run an if/else on the existence of an og:image tag, because wouldn't the template be loaded BEFORE K2? so there will never be an og:image tag at the time the if/else is executed.

I need to find the K2 file that sets the og:image tag so I can amend it. Have you any idea which file it is? I have searched through the file contents of the K2 folder to find "og:image" but no luck.

Hello Mark,

Have you specified which image size you want to use?
This setting is located in K2's params.

The images are not present in the frontend code at all.
Make sure you are not stripping tags from the introtext.
In the K2's settings there is the content cleanup setting. Make sure that this option is left empty.

Hi,

I am using K2 Version 2.6.8.

The other Opengraph tags are rendered fine (url, title, description & type) but there is no og:image tag, even though the K2 item has an image set.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Mark

Hallo zusammen,

seit einigen Tagen habe ich ein Problem nach dem Editieren eines K2-Items.
Und zwar bleibt der Frame (oder im Backend der komplette Browserinhalt) weiss.
Es wird auch kein Fehler, kelin Quellcode angezeigt.

Ich bin mir nicht sicher, woran es liegt. habe schon andere Templates ausprobiert, den
JCE Editor gegen einen anderen getauscht u.v.m.

Aber immer wieder gleicher Fehler. Die Änderung am Beitragsinhalt wird übrigens trotzdem
übernommen....

Ich habe Joomla 3.3.6 und die neueste K2-Version installiert.(2.6.8)

Anfangs funktionierte alles reibungslos. Ich kann aber nicht sagen, warum es nun nicht
mehr klappt. Gestartet bin ich nach Joomlamigration von 2.5.x auf 3.x. im August diesen Jahres.


Hat jemand ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht?

Gruss
Michael

Unfortunately I have still not been able to fix the problem. My knowledge regarding this is simply lacking :S.

I have searched far and wide across the internet for a solution, and I have done the following without success:
1) I have checked and enabled the default K2.css document.
2) I have checked and 're-added' "float-left" to the css.
3) I have checked all settings within the interface - all categories have been set up with the following configuration:
Leading Content/Columns - 0/0
Primary Content/Columns - 100/3
Secondary Content/Columns - 0/0
(I have tried leading, primary and secondary)
4) I have looked at the coding within category.php and category-item.php, and have found no missing </div> (not with my limited knowledge in php coding). There are equal amounts of opening and closing tags within both documents.

The website still displays content in a single column, with items repeatedly getting nested into one another - which I believe is the root of the problem.

The following link will take you to a page with the incorrect layout:

Any other help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
