I'm wondering if i can move extended K2-Articles automatically to an own archive category ?

I could do this using standard joomla articles with an special extension.

If that is not possible within K2, what is the advantage of K2 in comparison to standard joomla articles ?

Bugs should be reported in the bug tracker as the two K2 devs doesn't care about the support forum.
Although I doubt you will get a respond there.

I found the same problem in K2 Demo version on demo.getk2.org:

demo.getk2.org/show/tag/extension

demo.getk2.org/show/tag/joomla

demo.getk2.org/show/tag/Australia

I recently upgraded my K2 to version 2.6.5 and I figure out when I'm not login the K2 Tag menu does not work property, all of the menu tags result same content, this should be related to cache system because while I'm loged in to the system, everything work correctly.

please examples:

zoomit.ir/ces
zoomit.ir/microsoft
zoomit.ir/apple
zoomit.ir/ces-2012
zoomit.ir/android
zoomit.ir/android-guide
....
do you have a quick fix or I should roll back to oldest version.

Thank you in advance for your prompt reply.

How can i solve it?

Thanks

Hi! I set up a blog with k2 and i like the result, but i have a problem:

when i put the credits for the post image the link to the original page is stripped out and what comes out is only a text.

i mean it should be something like "photo credit Mr.Author at www.example.com " but it results
"photo credit M.Author at www example com"

you can see an example right now in one of the posts www.makunacomunicacion.com/blog/cuando-haces-las-cosas-que-no-se-hacen

How can i get my link on the credits to respect the authors' rights?

Should it be useful a checkmark to select whether or not to strip out html tags from image credit?

When I switch SEF-urls off I see this link under the tag:

"&Itemid=71" causes to redirect to menu-item #71

I am using K2 and the tag function. Each item is tagged with the author of the item (the aythor of the item is someone else then the item-creator). Clicking on the author-tag will redirect you to a menu-item (with the menutype: k2 tag). That means that I only see items with that tag in a certain category. But I want to see all items from that tag.

Does somebody have a solution? I hope so.

Thanks in advance

Peter

Thank you for letting me know that one of the best advantages with K2 is that it makes it very easy to standardize the look of articles / items and, with the addition of SIG-Pro (paid) and AllVideo plugins, which let you easily add Image Galleries, Movies & Audio, another good feature is the extra fields which saves time & again helps to create a consistent look.

I might attempt what you suggested: duplicate my existing site on a sub-domain and have a play-around with K2. I will remember to edit the robots file so it doesn't get indexed by Google.

Hi again Sean
One of the best advantages with K2 is it makes it very easy to standardize the look of articles / items & with the addition of SIG-Pro (paid) & AllVideo plugins which let you easily add Image Galleries, Movies & Audio, another good feature is the extrafields which saves time & again helps to create a consistent look.

I would suggest duplicating your existing site on a sub-domain & have a play around. Just remember to edit the robots file so it doesn't get indexed by google ect.

If you are like me, you don't like pointless pages like this:
getk2.org/show

With the new SEF advanced options of K2, you will get pointless pages if you assign tag listings to a hidden menu to avoid duplicated URLs.

So we are going to 404 the tag prefix page. Due to limitations in Joomla and the lack of careness of the K2 devs, we must do a core hack. Which means every time you update K2 you have to apply the hack again.

Open components/com_k2/helpers/permissions.php and find public static function checkPermissions(). Just below the opening bracket paste following code:
Note: Replace the item id of 148 with the item id of your hidden menu.

So in the end you have this:
This works with any prefix name, not just "show". Important is the right item id of your hidden menu.

hey

i am using the "related items" bottom of the content (k2 basics) and want to sort the items per tag. but k2 shows only the last 5 items and not any related stuff. did i something wrong ?

www.herr5tern.de

thank you

Not sure about the 500 errors, could be anything. If you create a completely new item and assign it to a menu what happens?

sigpro is designed to be use 2 ways
tags in content pointing to galleries
and the default way
the k2 gallery tab in the item
all images should be zipped into one folder and let k2 upload, unzip, resize, rename, and put them where it wants them

Dear team,

I am using version 2.6.5,
I am getting 404 error for Item OLD URL as follow
luxehighlife.com/new/jewellery/item/357-top-10-engagement-rings
This is URL which is showing Error 404
luxehighlife.com/new/jewellery/top-10-engagement-rings
This is URL which is showing by using advance settings

It will be great risk for URLs already indexed in google with OLD url after applying new setting become 404 Error Google webmaster tool will cause an error, also all traffic will lose.

It is possible as we did for tags and user url below explained for URL's ALSO ?

I successfully done as discussed in blog below

In the blog post for K2 v2.6.4 I also described a way to avoid duplicate URL creation for users, tags, search and date listings. In K2 v2.6.5 we've made this process even simpler. All you need to do is simply create a new menu in Joomla! (call it "Hidden" as it won't be directly called from any module) and in there create a K2 menu item pointing to all categories. Give this menu item a nice alias, e.g. "show" (as we also do here on getk2.org). If you do this, K2 is now able to "assign" this menu item as "root" for all such "menu orphan" K2 content such as tags, users, search and date listings. We call this content "menu orphan" because they are K2 pages created from links present on K2 categories and items (the backbone of K2 content) and don't necessarily have to exist under some Joomla! menu. Of course you can create direct menu links to select users or tags, but it's simply impossible to do that for all tags and users in a site. So by using this "trick", even if you don't have any other menu item pointing to K2 content in your site, you can rest assured all K2 content URLs will begin with this menu alias you've set.

I've upgraded to K2 2.6.5 on Joomla 2.5 and read below tips and start making Hidden Menu and the make Menu Item Type of K2 Categories, then selected all categories and set show for alies, but nothing happen and still duplicated problem is persist, would you please help us to make it happen

I am using joomla Catalyste Tamplate V. 3 and I am not expert .. just a simple user .. I tried all the parameters of K2 that will show or hide the list of categories I made at the page side .. I failed .. any body can help to where I will go and show or hide or settle an option to show a list of the categories and tags I create in one column.
Thanks. The page is only showing like that though I apply K2 default CSS and not my template defaults

Hi i am trying to find a plug in k2 canonical plugin for joomla 1.5 but i am struggling. i need to get this issue sorted but at the moment i cannot find a plug in that deals with k2 that runs on the joomla 1.5 can anyone please help

mc,

Edit the file in my last responses.

you just need to modify this file to put H3 tag.

because now.. you don't have any H3 tag in the left section.

after this modification.. it should be good.

Best regards,

Hi Jean-philippe, thanks for offering to help
I thought i explained pretty clearly in my original post, but i'll try again.

All module titles on my site use either the H3 or H4 markup. The H3 markup in my template changes the font & makes the title all uppercase.
The K2 module shows the article title in the same font, size & style as the article body/preview, except its a link. I can't tell the title different from the tags, or comment link when they are close together.

Example:

Hi mc,

What do you want to do...

you want to modify to put a H3 tag in your template our you want to put H3 tag in your css ?

just explain what you want clearly...

I'll try to help you..

ps.:
If nobody know what you want to do or what you need... nobody will response :-)

EDIT :

also, I've see your website... and the "h3" is not a value of css but an attribut of HTML. (see attachment)


I recommand HTML tutorial and CSS tutorial .
