I think you need to either develop a plugin for this to render the text on Joomla!/k2 events (onPrepareContent) or use PHP's str_replace function. Another way is to use a JavaScript/jQuery regexp to do this on the client side.

I am looking for functionality where the editor will not make a link by using the anchor button.
I want the editors will type #category and the editor (ex. ck editor) will make that link automaticaly.

Hello stavro,

The hash part is just an anchor link not a real link, what do you want to achieve exactly?

Keen to do the same - would like a "Media" or "Attachment" extra field type, similar to the "Image" extra field type, but the resulting use of "select" will allow you to pick a file name once you've uploaded the file. The file can then be linked as required in the K2 template layout.

For a temporary workaround I've changed

administrator/components/com_k2/models/extrafield.php at line 391 (K2 2.6.7):

From:

<a class="k2ExtraFieldImageButton" href="'.JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_k2&view=media&type=image&tmpl=component&fieldID=K2ExtraField_'.$extraField->id).'">

To:

<a class="k2ExtraFieldImageButton" href="'.JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_k2&view=media&type=attachment&tmpl=component&fieldID=K2ExtraField_'.$extraField->id).'">

and this then allows the Image extra field to accept attachments.


You also need to edit line 1385 in components/com_k2/models/item.php to take the img src tags off.

$value = '<img src="'.$src.'" alt="'.$rows[$i]->name.'" />';

becomes

$value = $src;

How can I use '#' for categories or tags inside the content?

I want to create auto links with the categories or tags that already have.

Can I do that?

Hello moni,

Did you try the snippets from this post?
getk2.org/community/New-to-K2-Ask-here-first/176077-Author-in-Tag-Listings

Also for the tag name this snippet will give you the page heading
Please notice that you will find this variable enclosed in an if statement, removing that statement will also do the trick. You can always use a menu item and set display heading to yes.

Depending on your template and the result you want your code will vary so I can't be precise about lines

Update.. just found this for 2.5 and it works for me. Woo!

Agreed! I've found and tried other solutions for previously versions of Joomla/K2 but they don't work - very frustrating. Just don't understand why it's not core functionality!!

I have the latest version of Joomla and have raised it as a bug because nobody would deliberately make a system that bad.

hi
on k2 result page the current tag name and the author name is not displaying.
is it possible to add the current tag name and the author name to the tag result page?
if i need to override tag.php what lines of code should i add to display the tag and author?

thanks

Hello Holger,

The notice is just what it says a notice it won't affect your site's functionality in any way. Make sure you turn off error reporting when your site is in production.

As for the images they have been imported in your introtext. I suggest you use this plugin to use the entire functionality of K2 images.

getk2.org/extend/extensions/616-iaki-import-as-k2-image

As for the second article, the image is enclosed in HTML tags. Make sure you haven't enabled content cleanup (This option is located in K2's params.)

Bonjour à toutes et tous,
je cherche à modifier l'apparence des pages "Displaying items by tag:" à partir des paramètres généraux de K2 "Layout & views" > "Layout & view options for tag listings" mais mes paramètres ne sont pas pris en compte dans l'affichage de la page. Avez-vous rencontré ce problème ?

Hey =)

Ich bin jetzt vor kurzem auf K2 umgestiegen und bin absolut begeistert! Beim ersten Arbeiten mit K2 Sind nun allerdings ein paar Fragen aufgekommen...

( Meine Joomla Installation befindet sich derzeit noch auf einer Lokalen XAMPP Installation... Weshalb ich leider keinen Link raus geben kann, ich bemühe mich aber alles so genau wie möglich zu beschreiben, damit ihr auch ohne URL erahnen könnt wo mein Problem liegt. )

1.: Ich habe eine Kategorie namens "News" Angelegt wo alle Artikel landen die auf der Startseite erscheinen... Dort hätte ich nun gerne neben der Überschrift meinen Avatar immer ausgegeben. Beim "K2 Content" Modul wurde der Avatar ja immer mit ausgegeben... Da sich dieses Modul aber als Seltsam heraus gestellt hat, habe ich es wieder Deaktiviert und nutze nun einfach nur die Standard Joomla component Ausgabe. Wie bekomme ich nun den Avatar dort hin? Weder in der category_item.php noch in den Backend Einstellungen existiert Irgendwas über Avatare für die Category Item Ansicht =( Ist es möglich den Avatar dort irgendwie hin zu bekommen? Ebenso soll der dann natürlich auch in der Detail Ansicht zu sehen sein ( Wo man auch die Kommentare schreibt ).

2.: Habe ich fest gestellt das wenn man sich neu Registriert, die Registration an sich zwar wunderbar Funktioniert... Nur leider bekommt man keine Message nach dem Klicken auf "Registrieren" die einem sagt das die Registration erfolgreich war... Man bleibt einfach auf der Seite und es sieht aus als wäre gar nichts passiert... Im Backend jedenfalls sieht man dann den neuen Benutzer... Aber wäre schön wenn der Benutzer merken würde das es geklappt hat ;)

3.: Ich habe eine Gruppe ohne Rechte ( Außer Kommentar Schreibrechte ) erstellt und auch festgelegt das Neu registrierte Member, automatisch in diese Gruppe kommen... Seltsamerweise Steht dann nach dem Login im K2 User im Frontend, unter "Meine Seite" und "Meine Einstellungen" trotzdem "Kommentare zu meinen freigegebenen Artikeln moderieren"... Dieses letzten Menüpunkt hätte ich gerne für neu registrierte Member entfernt... Ebenso hätte ich gerne dieses "Sie haben 2 freigegebene Kommentare" komplett raus. auch für Registrierte User. Jedenfalls in dieser Login Box... Im Profil darf das sehr gerne Stehen.

Und eine Allgemeine Frage hätte ich noch. Gibt es die Möglichkeit das Profil der User um noch mehr Info Felder zu erweitern? Hobbies, Interessen, Lieblings filme usw...

Schön wäre auch die Möglichkeit ICQ, Skype oder sonstige Messenger Konten hinzu zu fügen. Diese Extended User Erweiterung habe ich schon gefunden und auch bereits Installiert... Jedoch fügt diese ja leider nur Telefonnummer, Adresse und diverse Social Eingabemöglichkeiten hinzu. Von denen ich auch am liebsten gezielt ein paar raus nehmen würde...

Ich hoffe wirklich das mir jemand helfen kann =) Das sind so die letzten dinge die ich alleine nicht in den Griff bekomme. Danke soweit fürs lesen und einen Schönen Tag noch =)

Gruß Sven

...sto usando anche io quel modulo, ma se lo metto in modalita Tag Cloud non succede nulla, il modulo non compare proprio! mi spiego: non solo non viene visualizzato nessun contenuto, ma proprio nel codice si evince non venga proprio inserito! :ohmy:

Acabo de instalar y configurar Simple Image Gallery PRO, posteriormente cuando agrego un lote de imagenes me surge el siguiente error:

There was a problem rendering your image gallery. Please make sure that the folder you are using in the Simple Image Gallery Pro plugin tags exists and contains valid image files. The plugin could not locate the folder: media/k2/galleries/5

Alguien ha pasado por esto y de igual manera alguien a encontrado la solucion?

The Gantry Framework is something that controls aspects of your Joomla! template. Stuff like how many columns to show in the homepage, which module positions will appear on mobile etc. You can't create content with Gantry, you simply control the layout of your site's template.

K2 on the other hand is a Joomla! extension for managing content. Think of it a super-charged version of the default content management utility of Joomla!. K2 sits "in parallel" to Joomla's content articles, they don't relate to each other. If you write an article in Joomla, you only get to add a title, your article's body, select the category it belongs, the author and add some tags (if you are in Joomla 3.x). With K2, you have all that plus the option to have an "article image" which is autoresized upon upload to fit your content, you can have image galleries, videos, attachments, additional form fields per category or globally (called "extra fields") and lots more, like better content organization and presentation, more control of what is shown in the frontend per category or per tag etc. etc.

Consider K2 as a content management system within Joomla.

For more, I suggest you follow the 10-part video tutorial here: getk2.org/documentation/k2class2012

Welcome to the K2 Community! :)

It seems that something doesn't close properly to have this result. You need to clean your content up in these items in order to avoid div's not closing properly.

Hi,

I have a menu that is set to display a pre-defined K2 TAG. When the results are displayed some of the individual TAG items are nested with a sight indent instead of being displayed as individual DIVs. Here's an image to illustrate.



The styling helps to see the issue, but the problem exists even without any styling applied. What I've found thus far is that the nesting only happens when the K2 story contains both introtext and fulltext with the system-readmore HR enclosed within a DIV. When the system-readmore HR isn't enclosed within a DIV, the TAG items are displayed as individual, non-nested DIVs. When the system-readmore HR is included within either a DIV that is part of the introtext or fulltext, or in a DIV by itself, the nesting occurs.

I've not modified any of the K2 core files. The system readmore HR doesn't show up in the TAG list on the frontend. It's only present in the editor when preparing the story. When looking at the source code in the editor, if it appears as "DIV OPEN horz rule id="system-readmore" DIV CLOSED", the TAG list on the frontend is nested. If there are no DIVs enclosing it, the TAG display appears correctly.

I discovered this by installing a fresh/new JAmero templete installation on my localhost system. I've also tried this with multiple editors and browser, getting the same results with each. With ?template=system appended to the site URL, I get a plain listing without any sign of nesting.

Since the system-readmore doesn't appear in the output, any suggestions on how to locate where/how to find what's causing the nesting when the template is applied? I'm testing with a new install of the JAmero template without any modifications changes to the css, etc.

Bonjour à tous,

Est-ce que vous connaissez un moyen de classer par pertinence, en mettant en premier les éléments partageant plusieur tags(étiquettes)?
Actuellement sur le site les éléments K2 qui sont mis à la suite de l'article ne semblent avoir qu'une étiquette en commun, au hasard...

Merci de vos lumières :)

PS : K2 à jour, sur Joomla 2.5 hébergé chez OVH (si ça change quelque chose).

I have a very weird and specific problem on more than one website (and on more than one host) to which I couldn't find a solution.
SigPro galleries for k2 work in most cases except one:
If you go to Components > K2 > Items and you create an item (without gallery, without uploading any pics etc) and then you go to Components > Simple Image Gallery Pro > K2 galleries and choose to create new gallery for this K2 item and put some pics in it and then go to the k2 item in backend you don't see the images.
The K2 item gives the following error: "There was a problem rendering your image gallery. Please make sure that the folder you are using in the Simple Image Gallery Pro plugin tags exists and contains valid image files. The plugin could not locate the folder: media/k2/galleries/"
For some reason it doesn't look in media/k2/galleries/hisID for the images but only in media/k2/galleries/.
BUT if you then add more images to that gallery from the item itself, now it sees the images those uploaded from it AND those uploaded from the SigPro component.
(No matter if it sees them in the backend or not, they show in the front-end, just the problem is them not being seen in the item backend when the gallery for the item is created through the sigpro component not through the item)

Also while researching the problem I've noticed that SigPro in Info and Plugins says:
K2 - Simple Image Gallery PRO Not installed- Disabled
But the plugin is enabled and I don't have any version of Simple Image Gallery Free installed, never had.
On one of the hosts and site I have this problem (well on localhost) my whole /var/www is recursively 777 even before k2 and sig pro got installed so I don't think permissions are the problem.

Wow! It works! Thank You Thank You! Mohamed, greatly appreciated!
