Category description cannot parse content plugins I would recommend using a module with the {loadposition} method or creating custom K2 plugin and having its output in tags.

I modified category_item.php but I get this error:can you help me?
I would like to see changed the upper class by tag -> "ItemContainer"

I know this, that is why I said it would be ideal to have control of the alias. Creating #Hashtags is just one of many applications. Providing the K2 user the ability to create tag alias is the point.

Tag Name: #K2rocks
Tag Alias: K2rocks
URL: www.domain.com/tag/k2rocks

Tag Name: Salty & Sweet
Tag Alias: salty-sweet
URL: www.domain.com/tag/salty-sweet

Tag Name: President/CEO
Tag Alias: president
URL: www.domain.com/tag/president

---

In the case of...

Tag Name: ? Got Questions ?
URL: www.domain.com/tag/k2rocks

If the user did not define the Tag Alias, it could default to replacing any special characters used as the first character in the tag name to a hyphen, so in the case that I provided, if the user did not define the alias, it would be "-got-questions". So, if a user uses an alias that starts with a non-alphanumeric character (such as / # ?), it would default/be changed to a hyphen.

Once again, providing the K2 user the ability to define both the Tag Name and Tag Alias is my point.

Hashtags cannot be contained in URLs, they point to anchor points not actual links.
This is how HTML works. www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp

I understand a page can not start with #

What I am saying is that, it would be nice to have full control over the name of each tag.

Offering people the ability to define the "Tag Name" and "Tag Alias" would alleviate this problem, so that K2 users could do something like this...

Tag Name: #K2rocks
Tag Alias: K2rocks

With this example, K2 users would be able to create and utilize there very own #HashTags

This also would allow people do have tags such as...

Tag Name: Salty & Sweet
Tag Alias: salty-sweet

Tag Name: President/CEO
Tag Alias: president

A link cannot start with a hashtag.
Hashtags are anchor links (internal links in a site, not actual links) or parts of a JS based application.

This is not a K2 issue it is just how HTML works.

Hello Tarun,

Do these items share any tags?
Also which version of K2 are you using?

Hello Mark,

Please read this post: getk2.org/community/English-K2-Community/194833-Ability-to-Display-Tags-and-Styles-in-Intro-Text

Hi, i have the same problem. Updating K2 does not help. I'm now at 2.7.0 enabled the author meta tag but no meta tags show.

I agree Franz...as this forum is the central location for all K2 talk.

Here's an idea - ask people to include #K2FeatureRequest in the title or body of post. This would allow for fluid inclusion while engaged in back in forth communications. Also, this would allow the developers at K2 to easily search throughout their forum and other platforms for that matter (as the term is unqiue)

For example - why writing this post, I had an idea...

#K2FeatureRequest - Allow tag names to include Hashtag symbol - to offer users K2 Hashtags. Currently, when you include a hash symbol in your tag, it breaks the SEF (at least for me - using sh404SEF)

Resulting in a domain like this...
www.domain.com/tag/#HashTagName&Itemid=807

I understand that this defying URL protocol, but this would prove, why there is a need for seperation between defined the tag name and the alias.

This URL would be ideal...
www.domain.com/tag/-HashTagName
"-" could serve as a placeholder in the URL while the display name would be "#HashTagName"

:( Got stuck for almost 3 days looking for solutions about this.

When saving a ITEM with image it throws me to an error 500 internal server error.

I have joomla 3.3.3 and K2 v2.6.8.

Joomla is installed clean and K2 is also.

Your help is appreciated. :)

Hi Marcel,
thank you for your answer but unfortunately in this way the title will be all italic. Instead i need some word in italic and some not, like in this example:

Albizia julibrissin (Willd.) Durazzo

Hi,

In addition to the category mentioned in "Filter tags from one or more categories" ( K2 Tools module) my tag cloud is showing items from other catergoty.

I have "Apply tag category filter recursively to all sub-categories" set to "Yes" to show all the items in the subcategories under the main category selected in the above option. The tag cloud shows all the items perfectly in the main category and the subcatgories under it. The problem is the tag cloud is also listing items from other category which is not releted to main category mentioned in option. How I can stop that ?

Thank in advance.

Tarun

Well, add this with a little css:

h2.itemTitle{
font-style:italic;
}

greeting, Marcel

We have this nice template for a K2item and we want to show related items by tag. It's a basic funtion but unlike the k2 tools module, we are not able to choose the category of the related items we want to show. Is there a possibility to ad the category ID in the item.php?

Hi to all,
i have a problem, i'm trying to insert the <i></i> html tag in the k2 article title, but when i save it the tag aren't saved (rightly i think).
The problem is i need this feature to insert plant botanical name, the example mandatory nomenclature is:

Albizia julibrissin (Willd.) Durazzo

some words are italic and some not.

Is there a way to solve this problem?

thanks in advance.

Yes, I followed all the steps.
And to print user data in Html page and text, no problem.
The problem I have using the classes to change the metatag:The plugin does not work on a plugin, but in item.php does work the same code.

Hello there!

I'm building a plugin where K2 add metadata from the form that works with K2 Tabs.

The xml is correct, display the fields on admin K2 item, but not how to enter my data and meta data on my php code plugin:

Any idea?
Thank you!

I tried some plugin canonical tag.Problem not resolve. Other plugin is commerical
You said "use a K2 plugin for this, or map your entire content (K2 categories in this case) in menu items."
how can I do that ? Can u explain more it ?

Thank for your help.

Sorry... is there a tutorial for install multilanguage in K2 somewhere ?
Thank you

They do help though.

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