Hi,

Can someone tell me how the build in "Related by Tags" function in K2 works?

Is it enough if just one tag is the same?
Can it be setup so fx. X tags must be the same before it is marked as related?

Cheers,

I have enabled K2's com_search plugin and all seems fine. However, I am trying to understand how to configure K2 articles for search. I have searched for hours trying to understand this with com_search but there isint much info on this. What I am wondering is:

1) When a user types in whatever keywords, does the search plugin looks for the keywords in meta descriptions only or even titles, tags, content body, etc.?

2) If I want an article to appear in search, do I need to enter that keyword as K2 tags? How does that work exactly?

3) Now a days most of the search keywords are generic and not specific title. For example, how can I change a type in my ford capri? . If someone searches something like this and the article doesnt exist, do I need to add all of these keywords variations as tags for that article so most of the keyword variations are covered and they show in search results?

Look, after using Google with their awesome algorithm com_search looks really bad for a normal internet user. Some people say some articles dont appear in search when they should unless the words matches. But I think com_search does give us a powerful feature if we can manually configure the articles ourself so we have full control over it. But I just dont know how with the above questions in mind. Hopefully you can share some tips that worked for you please...

The read more is located under your editor window.
K2's settins can be access from the K2 listing views (items, categories, tags etc)

You need to override the tag.php file and move these elements above the introtext.
Info on overrides can be found here: getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

You can do this directly in your template.

You need to override your template.

You have to exit the loop after the first tag has been echoed.

Not sure. Maybe the words 'Vote' and 'Stimme' are automatically added by google after the number? In that case, perhaps it might be useful to add a space after the voting count number in the meta tag.

This will require custom coding but it will not be anything extravagant.
You need to add two more extrafields. One for small images and one for large.

In your template where you are rendering your K2 image (in all views category_item, tag, item etc) perform a check.

If the extrafields exist show it else show K2's default image.
Then control that image with CSS or use the same markup as K2's image so it will look identical in your template.

The same code will have to be ported to K2 Content modules as well.

Thanks Krikor, I didn't see anything in the JCE settings so I assumed it was the K2 article manager that was at fault. I will post this on the JCE forum.

This forum is here for providing support and knowledge, if you need 24/7 assistance you should hire a developer.

As for your request, this is a custom implementation of a jQuery sorting script.
This should be done with overriding category.php and implementing the script.
You will have to use some sort of identifier. This can be either the item's tags or a number of extrafields.

The "Schedule" extra fields group is assigned to the Schedule category. It consists of twelve, two-hour set of: the show's start and end time, the dj's avatar, the show's title and tagline as well as the show's cover image. Each set of extra fields is marked with the postfix _a, _b, _c, etc. up to _l on each extra field's alias.

If you want to edit the module itself then you need to edit the templates/radiowave/html/mod_k2_content/Schedule/default.php file.

I am using the JCE Editor, latest 2.4.2 and K2 2.6.8

Every article get a header like the following:
I didn't notice this until I was installing a social media component and in the final step of performing a parsing error check it reported that there were multiple html, head and body tags.

Index.php inserts the proper !Doctype, and the html, head and body tags, I don't need it done again anywhere. I looked in the JCE configuration and I see nothing that would insert a header at the top of the articles (I have the JCE template manager installed, but there are no templates defined as of yet.), if I edit in Source view and delete !Doctype, html head and body and the closing tags at the bottom of the article and "Save and Close" when I open the article for editing again, the header section is back at the top of the item/article.

What do I have to do to stop this behavior?

Ciao a tutti!!
Tanti ve lo hanno già chiesto, ma non ho trovato ancora una risposta chiara:
come posso mettere su due colonne la pagina risultante dal click su una voce di menu di tipo TAG?
Mi mette una unica colonna (a differenza delle categorie)!!

Se non ho capito male, bisogna inserire un DIV o una CLASS da qualche parte nei files di K2 (ma non saprei né dove né quali), e dare poi al CUSTOM.CSS del mio template alcune proprietà (tipo FLOAT) per far affiancare il contenuto... nessuno ha già i file impostati per questo scopo?
Oppure qualche consiglio semplice semplice.... :blink:

Grazie per l'attenzione.

Hi,

In your template overrides folder, find this file: category_item.php
Then find this section:Where you can add alt attribute to the <a> tag
