Re the 'item must have a title' error

this is caused by the submit button function being triggered as the modal popup closes and opens when the title has no value - this can be changed or removed in the itemform.php template override. Clearly there is a script conflict somewhere but I cannot find it.

I 'fixed' it by wrapping the offending if statement in another if statement as below, so the alert could only trigger on save. Hope this helps figure out what the problem is...

$document->addScriptDeclaration("
Joomla.submitbutton = function(pressbutton){
if (pressbutton == 'cancel') {
submitform( pressbutton );
return;
}
if (pressbutton == 'save') { // HERE is the extra condition that I wrapped the offending condition in
if (\$K2.trim(\$K2('#title').val()) == '') {
alert( '".JText::_('K2_ITEM_MUST_HAVE_A_TITLE', true)."' );
}
else if (\$K2.trim(\$K2('#catid').val()) == '0') {
alert( '".JText::_('K2_PLEASE_SELECT_A_CATEGORY', true)."' );
}
else {
syncExtraFieldsEditor();
\$K2('#selectedTags option').attr('selected', 'selected');
submitform( pressbutton );
}
} // obviously close the extra if statement
}
");

Hi. It seems that there is an issue when author block is disabled. Can you please install the development version from getk2.org/assets/get and test? Let me know if your issue is resolved.

Hi. You can't. There is no such functionality in K2.

Hi. I think that 100 categories is a really big number even for large sites. Probably you need to think again the structure of your site. In any case you should use tools as they are designed to be used. Categories are different from tags. You should not worry about performance, K2 will make it fine no matter how many categories and tags you create.

Hello,

In my Global config, I have enabled the show author meta tag, however it is not showing up in my source code. I am using K2 items for the majority of my pages. I am using joomla 2.5.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Nella versione K2_v2.6.8 il plugin search plugins/search/k2/k2.php ha un errore alla riga 92, immagino che anziché $quoted ci debba essere la variabile $tagQuery altrimenti la ricerca restituisce errore 500

Ciao

Which schedule are you using?
If you are using the K2 content module, then simly recheck the settings of the module (item ordering.)

If you are using Radiojar's schedule then you need to alter it's code a bit. Locate the module (it's a K2 Tools module) remove the code and paste:

Anyone ? :(

If I set the "introtext word limit" in the module options it removes all html tags and that's not what I want. I just need to display the full text not truncated.

Hi,

in this case of multiple categories, the code should be something like this:

Hello,

I've been searching all over how to something really simple. I am making a custom k2 category template I want to display all the posts within a certain category but sorted by the tags on the posts in that category. How can i loop all tags on the posts in one specific category ? I'm using tags because multiple posts can have different tags.

the structure would be as follows:
CategoryA
- Tag1
-Posts with tag1 in categoryA
- Tag2
-Posts with tag2 in categoryA
-Tag3
- Posts with tag3 in categoryA
etc.

Thanks alot in advance for any answers!

The error I get:
An error has occurred.

1064 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 ' 1136)' at line 1 SQL=INSERT INTO rrbyp_k2_tags_xref (`id`, `tagID`, `itemID`) VALUES (NULL, , 1136)

Read subject line for versions

2. Cleaned database

I followed the import information but still having issues. This seems to be an issue with K2 itself because I've never had any issues with imports until K2.

Help!

Hi. You need to hack K2 to do this which is not a good practice. The file that generates the related items query is components/com_k2/models/itemlist.php line 898.

I would like to be able to exclude a category from the related items one of my K2 templates. It doesn't have to be dynamic as it will always be the same category so I can happily use cat ID.

Does anybody have any code they have used for this or can anybody show me how this can be done.

Many thanks

Hi there.

Is it possible to set my extra fields as links to a layout where all K2 items with that extra field are displayed? Similar to the tag layout, I suppose.

Also, would it be possible to display a page (list) of all extra fields (perhaps with alphabetical categorisation)?

Many thanks in advance.

I'm sorry. I should have been more specific and clarified. I modified your k2 search plugin and reinstalled it as a separate plugin. However I can not get the default Joomla search to search category titles, category description, or category image captions and I need it to. here's the modified php plugin:

Is it my query that's wrong?

follow-up

There are no auto-generated meta tags on Joomla articles.

So that would strengthen the argument that it is K2 that is auto-generating meta.

How to make K2 notice that I have already put in my own manual tags and don't need auto-generation?

Thanks,
Elias

www.studyinsweden.tw
latest K2, latest Joomla 2.5

I think K2 is auto-generating the meta description and keywords even though I have manually written in meta content for each item and category.

I say "think" because maybe another component is doing it?

I installed JoomSEF but that did not solve the problem. JoomSEF can also auto-generate meta tags and when I set it to combine its own auto-genarated tags with the "original", the "original" is not the manually entered tags, but the auto-generated ones from before I installed JoomSEF.

So, is there a way to turn off k2 auto-generation? Anyone have an idea of what else could cause it? To my knowledge I have nothing else but k2 and JoomSEF installed that can auto-generate meta tags.

Any suggestions very much welcome!

Hi, i have some problem,
i want to add the "Rating" on the K2 Tag page

im using joomla 3

i already changed my script into this

3. Search
