No, because it's created before the template renders. You'll need to override that meta tag as well.

I can't really see the list. What's the problem exactly? 404s will occur if a tag is deleted. If indeed they're deleted, again what's the issue? That would be normal behaviour...

Hi,
I hope you all are doing great. I have a very old problem with K2 and that's tags.
The tags as useful as they are can also become very cumbersome and in search engines they backfire.
Look at the picture below and see how many 404 hits I had on tags from k2 items.
What do you guys suggest I do to solve this?
This list is only a snapshot. the list goes on and on.

I found this code here on the forum, it seems to work well to call specific fields, but sctrip_tags doesn't work, could you help me:

<?php foreach ($items as $key=>$item): ?>
<?php
$k2obj = new K2ModelItem();
$fields = $k2obj->getItemExtraFields($item->extra_fields, $item);
?>
<?php echo $item->extraFields->Rodape->value; ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

Thanks for the answer, in the templates, I did just that, it works well, but in third party modules it is more complicated to control.

I tried to use the K2 Content module using extra fields, but it doesn't seem to work inside the module:

$ extrafields = array ();
foreach ($ this-> item-> extra_fields as $ item)
{
$ extrafields [$ item-> id] = "". strip_tags ($ item-> value);
}

<? php echo $ extrafields [1];?>

Is there any way to be able to call the specific fields within the K2 Content module? That way my problem would be solved.

Extra fields may hold any piece of information, e.g. a widget (script tag) or a Google map (iframe tag). As such we don't filter the output there.

But what you can do is filter the output on the relevant K2 templates.

See how to override K2's template files (views) here: getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

Then make your own set and e.g. in item.php, locate the foreach loop that outputs the extra fields and in the relevant value output filter as needed (e.g. with strip_tags() or other PHP filters).

If you use JCE, it's best if you got the relevant plugin for K2 links from: getk2.org/extend/extensions/k2-links-for-jce

In the SEO tab I've attached screenshot of the Custom SEF URLs settings.

They were not enabled. If I enable them the link changes as follows:

walking/tag/Walking

when disabled the link is:

walking/itemlist/tag/Walking

I can get it to work if I just type the menu alias into the link, but it would be better not to.

I am using JCE Editor, latest version 2.8.17

Could any PHP extensions be missing that are needed? I've just updated to 7.4. Also attached settings.

Thank you x

This is the system URL which is translated to a SEF URL in the frontend.

Check if "Advanced SEF" is enabled in the K2 component settings, under the "SEO" tab.

The issue might also be a bad link added by the WYSIWYG editor...

K2 does indeed keep an additional cache for better performance. But this works transparently.

If your issue is content that is not updated, perhaps it's related to HTTP header additions in K2 v2.10.3 for "Last-Modified" & "Etag". See the release notes just in case: getk2.org/blog/k2-v2103-now-available

This is the URL that is being generated in the menu link if that helps:
index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&layout=tag&tag=Walking&task=tag&Itemid=157

Hi Fotis
Not to my knowledge. I'm looking for this option but cannot seem to find it. There are some custom SEF settings in the Settings for K2 and these are turned off, but I can't find any advanced SEF settings. Where do they live? J

The correct tag URL should be just the menu item, e.g. www.saddlebackcottages.co.uk/walking/ instead of www.saddlebackcottages.co.uk/walking/itemlist/tag/Walking.

Do you have K2's Advanced SEF enabled by any chance?

Hello

I have set up a couple of menu items to list k2 items by tag. I have then got icons within a regular Joomla article which we want to link to the tag results using these menu items.

So I have added a link setting and selected my menu items. There should be two K2 items with each tagged menu item. Clicking the icon takes me to the home page on both and not to any results.

Show tags is enabled in the category settings for both item view and category listings.

The page is here:

www.saddlebackcottages.co.uk/activities

Site is offline: user & pw is Saddleback

The two icons with links are Walking and Nature Reserves.

Thanks for looking
Best wishes
Jennie

Did you check if $newtitle returns anything? Just to be on the safe side, you could wrap everything after the $newtitle assignment to an if statement that checks if a value is returned for it...

The only other reason why the <title> would not change is some 3rd party plugin for SEO/meta tags.

Hi, as always thanks for the super reliable support.
This time i must be doing something wrong with the pagetitle extra field i tried to set for the new website i'm working on. I previously managaed to do this on other websites but time has passed and i no longer remember the steps.
Anyway i assigned the items of this category (valpelliceoutdoor.it/attivita/trekking/bobbio-pellice) the extra-field "PageTitle", in order to have it used as the browser page title instead of the default one.
I then proceeded to put this in item.php, just below the itemHeader opening tag:



But this does not work. Any suggestions?

Looks OK now on your site so I guess it was some CSS or order-of-HTML issue.

Hi Fotis, thanks again for your assistance! I indeed managed to make tags appear thanks to your kind advice.
Just one more small thing: when i did so, the readmore below kind of got upwards, check both previous links to see the difference -- on the main blog page the readmore is standing at the very bottom of the container, on the tag view pages it has a gap. Any idea how i can fix it?

Try placing this block where you want the tags to show up for each item:
Let me know if it works.

Hi, i got nearly everything i wanted to do, i just have another question: is it possible to have all the tags of a given article displayed in the tag view? Please see attached screenshots: the first one is an item in the blog main category, the second is an item in the filter for tag page.
