Hello,
I have a web site with Joomla 2.5.7 and K2 2.6.0
I also have a tag cloud module to show up my tags from all categories.

When you click on a tag from this module, the system generates this url : component/k2/itemlist/tag/tag_name.html

What i want is to display this kind of url : /tags/tag_name.html

Can someone tell how to do that?

Hi,

I'm new to K2 and like what it has to offer, but am wondering what kind of disadvantages I will face by using it. I'm sure there must be any and I depending what they are, I can deal with it, but need to know before hand.

I currently run a site with Jooms 2.5, publishing articles and stories, where users currently cannot log in or participate. With K2 I would like to change this and make it possible for users to comment on posts.

I have heard that K2 makes some extensions incompatible, so that might be a concern, as I plan to implement a for pay / membership section in the future.
Also, I wonder if the change is reversible, can I go back to standard Joomla if I experience problems that I cannot solve with K2?

I know that any software has good and bad points, so you don't have to sugar coat anything, I'm very realistic and won't disqualify it due to bad points, but understandably I want to hear of them BEFORE I convert over to K2, not afterwards and I will likely find out later anyway, as I want to grow the site quite a bit still. Is there a competing framework system, what is your opinion about that one?

So far I have to say that I love the feature list that K2 has, offering lots of functions that Joomla should have, but does not. I would prefer to extend Joomla with a whole framework like K2, instead of have to cobble it together with tons of different extensions.

I'm grateful for any pointers.

Thanks,

Nigra

hello,

I have a very nasty problem. Any of my social sharing buttons doesn't work inside the articles. I have k2 v 2.2, joomla 1.5 and i have enabled on the general parameters and in the desirable categories the social sharing. But unfortunatly the only thing that i can share is the metatag description of my global configuration and the general login pic of my site:(

I would appreciate any idea why this is happening

thank yoy in advance,
kiki grevia

If anyone still has this problem and is really annoyed by the error message there is a simple fix.
The problem occurs because of the line 360

K2Model::addIncludePath(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models');

in file plugins/system/k2/k2.php

you can replace it with the following,

require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'item.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'categories.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'category.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'comments.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'cpanel.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'extrafield.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'extrafields.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'items.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'model.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'settings.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'tag.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'tags.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'user.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'usergroup.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'usergroups.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'users.php');


basically instead of using the method addIncludePath to include the files in the model folder you call require_once for each file in the modle folder.

Try k2.css
search for
ul.itemCommentsList li p
and add a font-size tag
test with firebug

Hi there.

I'm new here. Just signed up to ask if anyone has had the same problem.

Right now i'm using the translated version of Joomla 2.5.6 (Spanish) and have installed K2 with its corresponding spanish translation.

When it comes to tag selection in the frontend, all the articles are shown within the "ALL" tag. BUT it has to say "Todo" (spanish) NOT "ALL".

I've spent 2 days in this and had no luck. If anyone has an idea, would be very welcome.

Thanks,

Juan Pedro

I use Allvideos on a site for gymnastic sports and the used joomla template is build as responsive.

In the documantation there is this info:

...where "width" and "height" are the media dimensions in pixels and "autoplay" is enabled using 1 (use 0 to disable it).

For example, a YouTube video with 600x450 dimensions that autoplays on page load would be displayed adding this plugin
tag in your Joomla! article (or K2 item, or Virtuemart product etc.): {youtube}he73js822|600|450|1{/youtube}

Is there a way you can use percentage for the media dimensions in AllVideos?

kind regars,
Ronald

Bonjour à tous,
Sur la page getk2.org/extend, il y a un module qui affiche les Tags, nommé tagCloud.
Je n'arrive pas à le trouver, que ce soit dans le pack standard K2 ou en téléchargement sur le site getk2.org.
Savez-vous comment faire ?

This works great for the category list. So now i can put a css file in my override directory and put only the css code i wanna change.

But how can i override the K2.css for the archive and tag list view ?

I installed the plugin CSS4K2 so i now can create a blog_style.css in my template override directory.
But this css file only works for the category list and the item view. But not in the tag and archive list.

How can i use this to customize these lists ?

Where can i select the template for the tag and archive list view ?

there are probably more ways to do this, but sizing the images the same before upload and controlling the intro text along with this tag should work

Finally, after waiting and looking for a solution, and getting nothing, I got another way. I setled up the configuration of every item in category view, as a 18 word intro text limit, and a specific width for the intro images. That works, but is not what I wanted, because my client dont have the freedom to put a larger intro image, or to write a larger intro text, but well, I spent 3 days on this, too much time.

I uploaded a screenshot of the final item category layout that I'm using.

Anyway, if someone has the solution for what I wanted, dont hesitate to write it.

Thanks.

Ok, now i have disabled tiny editor in order to avoid the auto compilation of tags, such as <p>...</p> and the result is pretty much the same.
The template i use is the jsn Teki free. Maybe there is a compatibility problem because it seems to have a problem even in an other part, regarding the K2 component. I have disabled both from the category options and the article view options to show the feature notice next to article but it still shows it. That's why i have started thinking that there could be a compatibility problem.

You can see how it is without any tags.:

pratically nothing changed...

Hi,
We are in the process of upgrading this site into joomla 2.5. It is a news site that we are planning on using K2 to manage the content. We are planning on using the Rockettheme "Ximenia" template and I thought the RokSprocket Tabs module could fit the bill for this functionality.

I realize that this is not a K2 "problem" per se but I am looking for a "tweak" or clever trick in K2 to duplicate this functionality. Please bear with me til the end. I am hoping there is a K2 Guru out there that can answer this perplexing problem.

I am trying to duplicate the tab structure in the "Today's News" section on the homepage . As you can see there are two tabs (Region/Location and Property Type), inside, these tabs are divided into sub categories (southeast, retail, etc.) and the title of the item is a link to the item. As it stands now each of these nested categories on the tabs are tables populated by a series of SQL statements(which you can see if you "inspect element"). I am hoping to do this with as little custom code as possible.

I have tried fiddling around with the settings in the Module but it displays the article titles as tabs not the category titles. Is there a way to display nested level categories with this module? If not, Do you know of another solution?

I have also thought about using the Mosaic or List layout in the Module to create a list that is sortable (not sure if this is feasible as there are some CSS hurdles as well as article/category structure problems.

As I see it there are three possible directions to find a solution. Manipulating the RokSprocket module to display what I need, or manipulating some features in K2, or both may be necessary.

A few possible solutions may be

>changing the item/categories structures in K2
>creating two separate pages that are identical except for the tab layout is different (which could make using RokSprocket superfluous.
>manipulating the Tags in K2 as seen in this thread

www.rockettheme.com/forum/index.php?f=612&t=176616&rb_v=viewtopic , But there are some problems with layout here too.

One other thing to keep in mind is that there will be laymen creating articles on the front end so this is not a static display and will change daily.

Thank you in advance for your help. I am really scratching my head trying to duplicate this functionality.
Nate
P.S I have also posted this in the Rockettheme forum to attack this from that end, just trying to reach anyone that may have a solution. Thanks again

hi, i have created a template using artisteer3, and i want to use k2 for my blog part, but there is a issue, i have a k2 category and a menu item that will display it category posts, and there is some modules in that menu link in left and right positions, it is ok when all posts in the page displayed full content, but when i insert readmore tag in any post, all modules in that positions goes into the same position of k2 component!
what i can do to solve it?

Try adding a height tag to .k2ItemContainer.cols2 and set it to a specified height if you are using 2 columns (if not firebug the source to get the proper tag)
there are probably more ways to do this, but sizing the images the same before upload and controlling the intro text along with this tag should work

Hi. K2 does not break user profiles in pages. Probably this is happening because of the page break plugin. Ensure that you do not have inserted the page break tags in the user profile content.

Hi,

I would like to do the following in an Article-Display

Usually it is like this:

Article Content
Read: 100000 Times
Tags: bla bla bla
Author-Options
Similar Articles
K2-Plugin (Shopping Cart)

I would like to re-order it like this:

Article Content
K2-Plugin (Shopping Cart)
Read: 100000 Times
Tags: bla bla bla
Author-Options
Similar Articles

I know how to hide or enable the single options in the article layout options but I cant find a way to change the ordering.

Thanks for any help!

I can't embed that link, I bought JCE Editor and iframe plugin and I can add iframes everywhere except extra field. Is it possible that K2 allow that iframe tags everywhere but not in extra fields. So can anyone help me.

Hi everybody,
this is my first post...
...no one can help us??

Hello,

I have purchased the component and I have successfully tested it.

I want to build a directory using K2 in two languages (Greek (primary) and English).

I am using the following fields in K2:
Title, Category, Image, Item description, tag1, …, tag n, extra field 1, … , extra field n

I have made the translation of all the K2 field names in English using Joomfish.

When I use your component only the data for the primary language (greek) are inserted in K2. Is it feasible to use different CSVs (one for each language) so I will not insert manually the translation in Joomfish (now for each item I have to go to Joomfish, K2 items and edit the translated field contents manually. This is time consuming since I have more than 2000 items !).

Any ideas ?

I am using
Joomla v1.5.25
Joomfish v2.1.3
K2 v2.5.7
K2 import / export v0.9 stable


Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

What are the labels for user pages? And which file commands the translation?

I've checked all the files and can't translate:

"Website URL"
"Read more..."
"Tagged under"

I translated even the english files but nothing seems work!

:)
