Hi Krikor,

Thank you for your response.

I'm afraid the above exposes my lack of knowledge with regards to PHP...

Not quite sure how to proceed - I just want the author names to be linked, such as with other layouts (category item etc.)

Also having trouble getting the Author into the search results page. I am using the k2 filter and search module, so am editing filter.php as opposed to generic.php - it's the right file, but none of the author approaches have worked thus far.

Again, many thanks in advance for any assistance.

Joomla cache is not activated, browser cleared. Paths seem OK.

I open css with Notepad and see that it is not DW that tricks me, all changed are saved. Nothing in Firebug.

Are you sure this is not a cache issue?
Plus this has happened to me a lot of times, double check the path of your k2.css file and open it in your browser to see if the changes are actually there.

It is localhost unfortunately.

Override is not important here, problem is of another nature. Even when i make so that page picks default k2.css it is the same.

You maybe miss me, i dont want to override K2 tools (Tag cloud). I want it to start using K2 CSS classes that is called in page. It is called, i see it in source code, i see it in other K2 modules. (have 4 pieces more on the same page).

I really dont understand it.

K2 content module use K2 CSS absolutely OK. K2 tools module not, they are on the same page. Only difference is sidebar/column (tags), middle area (K2 content modules).

I tried one of default Joomla templates, same problem.

If i in K2 CSS add:

#k2ModuleBox161 {some style here}

even this is not respected.

I get what you mean, you can override the module but you can't choose any template.

Thanks for fast answer.

K2 Tool has not option to chose template, so override works only once ? But i dont think it is important here.

I have div.k2TagCloudBlock in my CSS. CSS is called in page. But it is non existent for Tag Cloud.

In whole Tag cloud module (K2 tools) i have only this:

<div id="k2ModuleBox161" class="k2TagCloudBlock">

and inside tags "a title" , nothing more.

When i preview right side in Firebug i dont see any K2 class, despite k2.css is called on page.

Dont have K2 tools override folder, dont want to complicate problem until i solve it.

Hello,

A Quick update on the issue: This has been fixed in the SVN version if you are comfortable working with it you can find the download link here or at the homepage.

Hello there,

K2 Tools does have an override. Try looking for the modules/k2_tools/tmpl folder. Each view has it's own .php file you can override.

Furthermore in your k2.css look for div.k2TagCloudBlock it should at line 980 in your default k2.css.

Used search, found nothing.


I dont know if im just stupid and dont see something in the front of my eyes, or is it some bug with module, CSS.

- Activated K2 Tools module, used Tag cloud function.
- I see in source code that my template override CSS is called (for test purpose i started with k2.css core code in my override)

- None of "tag" classes in CSS have any impact on Tag cloud, no matter how i change them.
- Firebug doesnt even show these classes in CSS, they are as non existent. (Module/s near Tag cloud use normally CSS code) I mean on the same subpage.

- K2 tools module has not template override, i know that. But all classes for modules are in k2.css (or override css). Everything else works except Tag cloud. No styling at all, nothing in Firebug.


How to style Tag Cloud without touching core tags.php file (made/rename classes) ?
How to style Tag cloud without inventing new classes in k2.css (or override css) ?

K2 = 2.6.6 version
Joomla 3.1.1 version.

You can check this extension: AutoMeta for K2

But till now, it generates meta data only, no tags are generated automatically

Servus,

Schönen Tag

We are using the latest versions of K2 with Joomla 2.5.11 with Joomla CoreSEF.
Instead of typing them for every item, is there a way to automatically generate metadata and tag for our K2 articles?

HI,

Please consider fixing canonical item url. Problem described in this post getk2.org/community/New-to-K2-Ask-here-first/176065-canonical-url

I think this is a high priority considering the importance of canonical tag.

Thanks

Hello,

Same here.
Joomla 3.1.1
PHP 5.3.24
K2 2.6.6

Drop down menu -Select tag- doesnt show any K2 tags avaiable.

Hello Dick,

I can give you a new approach, one more complex and one much simpler.

You can have two fields, one for the path of the image and one for the alt title.
Both of them have to be text fields and you have to directly output them using their alias.

An example code is here: and here .

This will however result in somehow bloated (but functional and optimal) code.

On the other hand you can strip the elements using the preg_replace or the str_replace function and then output them using the same way mentioned above.

Same code pretty much but you get to use the image uploader and manager in the backend and avoid manually typing paths.

I tried to change the parameters on K2 category setting. This works when click the category menu, but not work on homepage.

.

This setting only work when a menu item is pointing towards a single category and not multiple categories.
You can either manually specify an introtext for your items ( in my opinion this is the best option ) or,
you can select which tags to strip (globally) from the content tab on the component's configuration and use a simple PHP snippet like :
Displaying 3521 - 3540 out of 6582 results.
