Hi folks,

I have found the answer: I have to use the K2 Tool modul.

I other beginners have also the problem, please look at this page:
www.joomtraining.com.au/tutorials/k2/creating-a-calender-module-using-k2-tool

This modul is also valid for the tag cloud. You have to copy th k2 tool modul for each available function and menu!

Hope this help other people.

Best regards

John

Hi,

Maybe I haven't found the right setting, maybe this function is not working as good as I think it should. But....

I like the option to show related items by tag under an item. It would be best if K2 would search for those items that have the most tags in common with the current item. I've got the idea it's not working that way. Am I right? Any idea what I should do to make it work that way (or are there extensions that can do that)?

Hello to the community!

I am working for a while now with k2 but is the first time I have this serious problem and need your help please.

Because of design and user friendly navigation I had to make 2 menu items pointing to the same content (item category listing) , it was a bad decision but now I can not change on it so I need to find a solution on how to say to google to index only 1 item menu and avoid duplicate content = drop down in serp ... I am looking for a way to ad "noindex" tag to that menu item , not to the category ... I want the category to be indexed but not the 2nd menu item...

I hope I maid myself understood.
Thanks , Andy

thank you very much.

are you aware of any way to just tell K2 not to use width tags? ie. to make them all auto?

You need to know where those tags are coming from. They are not coming from K2 so since you are not able to detect where they come from i cannot help you.

Can somebody let me know how to make the K2 images that are created and displayed work with responsive templates?

I see that the code generated by K2 now is creating width tags. We need to not display the width and height in order to work with responsive templates.

Here is a sample of the code now:

<img style="width:360px; height:auto;" alt="Seagull Soaring in the Fresh Air" src="/media/k2/items/cache/c10c64c27e0606d1654b81b9bb482558_L.jpg">

I use the JCE editor and have just learned that we can set a parameter in each 'profile' in
plugin parameters -> Image Manager
to be "Always Include Dimensions" = "No" in order to NOT display image dimensions in our joomla content for articles created with JCE. This will make the images work with responsive designs.

Can we do the same thing with the K2 images gets uploaded for each article?

I would like to have the image sizes be served at the correct size the way K2 works so well but then to define width and heights.

Thank you, Sean Carney

Hello,

I want my introtext to display all HTML when viewing it in a category view. However, even when I disable Introtext HTML cleanup in the k2 parameters, it is still stripping the tags in the category view. Is there another setting I need to enable/disable to allow HTML in the category view?

Thanks!

K2 overrides the tag layut per template... But of course this can be changed. Make only one override in your template ( /templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_k2/tag.php) and then ensure that you have no other instances of tag.php in your K2 templates. This way K2 should find this file. Please let me know if that worked for you.

Hi there.
I'm new with K2 although I think it's a fantastic component, if only I could make it work well.

So, I'm having this very annoying problem: I can't see article detail on fronted. I have a module that gather all the items in one page and when I do click on a article (on title, image or "read more" button) I get a Error HTTP 500 (on Chrome) and a blank page on Safari.

Browsing I figure out that maybe it should be a php memory limit problem, so I've changed it to 64M and still nothing. I still can't access to the article detail.

I also tried to disable the other extensions/plugins I have (SOBI2, Flipping book, JoomFish, JCE Editor, Chronoform etc) and nothing yet.

I choose K2 because I need to do a filter search among the products article through tag and K2 seems to be better component I've found.

I'm running the last version of K2 (v2.5.7) and Joomla 1.5.

Anyone has faced this problem before?
Thanks in advance.

Have a great day you all.

Gerry

Hmmm... Interesting.... Actually, I am NOT needing a separate template for each tag page. I am just wanting to assign one template to ALL of the tag pages. On my site now I am using the 'lifestyle' template from JoomlaBamboo for all of my Category pages. I want to use the same template for all of my tag result pages. Is there a way to set up once a preference for which template to use for tag pages? So far I had the idea that K2 did not have a flexible way to do this? I would also love to know if there was a way to use the same template for search pages but that is not very important. The tag pages are very important so that the tag results will use the same template as the other content pages.

Hi. You need to provide to facebook the proper meta tags to help it detect the main image. I assume you can find a K2 plugin for this.

K2 tag listings are more generic than category listings. You can of course make template overrides but you need to check the available elements to see if tag listing can cover your needs. You can take a look at tag settings under the K2 global parameters and in the menu links to see the available elements.

ciao ragazzi,
ma esiste un modo per modificare il form registrazioe di K2??

www.marcorigon.it/index.php?option=com_users&view=registration

vorrei eliminare i dettagli personali, l'avatar e l'url...come fare?

grazie

Hi. Please take a look at the documentation at the K2 templating section. You can create several templates and assign them to categories.

Hi. the generic.php layout is used just for date and search listings since tag listings and user listings have their own layouts. So if you are in the context of generic.php you just need to copy the file to your Joomla! template folder and OUTSIDE of your K2 template. So putting generic.php under /templates/YOUR_SITE_TEMPLATE/html/com_k2/generic.php should do the trick.

But I've not another links to add K2 items.

In the menu, under the K2 block I can create 6 type of menu item:

1. Item
2. Item edit form
3. tag
4. categories
5. User Page (Blog)
6. Latest Item from (one or more) users or categories

Hi Folks,

I've tinkered with K2 and so far I like ... but I'm having a mental block trying to decide how to organize the categories. My goal is a product catalog for dance costumes. Currently the website is manually hardcoded with this category structure ...

Ballet
-- Adult
-- Children
-- Tutus
Tap/Jazz
-- Adult
-- Children
Lyrical
-- Adult
-- Children

I was thinking of maybe flipping it with age category on top but I think the user point of insterest to drill down would be by type of costume and not age.

Adult
-- Ballet
-- Tap/Jazz
-- Lyrical
Children
-- Ballet
-- Tap/Jazz
-- Lyrical

Maybe I should just make the categories all primary.

Ballet - Adult
Ballet - Children
Lyrical - Adult
Lyrical - Children etc.

Then what about the tags? Perhaps Adult and Children could be tags. But then selecting Adult would get me all the Ballet, Lyrical and Tap/Jazz costumes.

Ultimately a side menu to link to each sub category such that when I want to see ie Ballet-Adult it is just 1 click.

Anyway, that is the mess in my head right now, lol. I just thought I would say hi to the K2 community and see if anyone had some pearl of K2 wisdom they could share to help point me in the right category direction.

Cheers,
RandyS

Use K2_Split_Content Module

Hello,
We have a need to enter very large amounts of text in a series of extra fields using the PRE html tag.
There seems to be a problem when we paste lots of text, the field does not save. The cutoff appears to be around 48k characters. The extra fields are text areas. I changed the database field "extra_fields" in the k2_items table to use type MEDIUMTEXT rather than TEXT. This doesn't seem to fix the problem.

We are using Joomla 2.5.4 with K2 2.5.6.

I've tried saving without the editor option, and I've tried changing the editor I'm using (JoomlaCK) to TinyMCE, to no luck.

Anybody know what's going on?
Thanks!
