They do help though.

If you have different K2 categories/tags and extrafields per language you do not need another extension.

Hello,

I've created a multilingual website (Greek - English) based on the Joomla 3 native functionality but I have problem to "associate" any greek K2 Item with the corresponding English one. In other words: In multilingual website, joomla articles have an "Associations" tab where I can associate a Greek article with the corresponding English one.

How can I do that in K2 items too without using an extention?
Could you please help me??

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Maria

Thats right. It places the article title as the image alt for that k2 item image.

I've run into a bug with the newest version of K2 (2.6.8). If Force SSL (https) is on for the admin area the auto complete in the tagging section doesn't work (it just spins). Oddly, the Additional Categories section at the bottom works fine and auto completes. Does anyone have some suggestions how this could be fixed? I'd like to run the admin in https for security reasons, but its a bugger not to be able to tag. Thanks for any help.

Joomla 3.3.3
K2 2.6.8

i am new to this, but i want to customize the alt tag from the main k2 image of an article...


isnt that code $this->item->title; going to put the title (of the article) like alt tag??

I was thinking about the same thing awhile ago. My idea was to replace the 'Featured' block to 'New' block via template override by editing the php and css so it shows a 'new' tag when the item is clicked as featured. I dont use featured option anyways so showing 'featured' as 'new' in item page might do it for me. Anyhow, I will be interested to see if Krikor or others have any suggestions on this.

I've found an easy solution, just changing the gallery path "images" to "k2/media/galleries" in the parameters of the component.

Hi,
I would like to display the k2 galleries with such tags:
{gallery}k2 gallery name{/gallery}

It appears that I can only display "normal galleries" from the editor.
Is there any trick?

You need to override the item.php file.
In the alt tag you need to use $this->item->title;

I really dont understand :( I just get a quick install template and i all was alrready there i just remodified some text and menus ,but could you help me more pls?*
I have in menu manager like 6 menus so i really dont know what and where to change

Hello Jana,

The pages/ is the name of the parent menu item.
If you want root.com/menu-name; The menu name should be a top level menu item.

The pages-2 is another menu item with the "Pages" title.

Also I am getting some strange url's that i see only now.

What I did:
1. created articles and categories in Joomla
2. Create menu and added single Article and choose one

..what I'm gettign now in URL is not Mywebsite.com/my-article-page but Mywebsite.com/pages/my-article-page

also somewhere is "pages-2" :( thanks for tellign me if this is k2 issue or Joomla nd how to remove it.
