No offense but I'm ignoring previous comment as it is unacceptable to change core files because of a paid plugin. I know sigpro can deliver as promised  ;)

I'm writing here because I have the same issue and it is as follows:

I inserted the gallery tag at the beginning of the second paragraph of a K2 article. It is set to one thumbnail.

In that position the container shows up  but no thumbnail. The label for "click to open" is there, and if you click in the empty space the gallery pops up.

In the beginning I thought it was a thumbnail problem, but then I scrolled down and noticed that the thumbnail repeats right before comments, screwing up the page's format. Down below the thumbnail looks great.

Have you guys seen this problem before? How can it be solved!

Hi there,

For my website I am using K2 and using extra fields for additional information. One of those extra fields is Searchable Labels. And when you click on the Searchable Labels you get an list of results (wich is a good thing offcourse :) ).

but the images that are being shown in the search results are a very low quality. Anyone knows where you can change the image quality?

Example: example

ps. sorry for using code and the duplicated post. But when using normal text it won't appear for some reason!?

ps2. there proberly was something wrong with the URL. Changed the URL and now my text is showing just fine.

Thanks for all the overwhelming help. I could find some way to solve the problem and I'll post it here in case anyone finds the same situation as me:

Press the 'K2 Parameters' button and make sure the "read more" button is active and that the introtext is shown.

You can't set a limit to character display to the introtext when articles are displayed by tag (I don't know why). That means that all your articles will be displayed in full length unless your articles contain a "read more" pagebreak. So if your articles don't have it, you must edit them and add the "read-more" pagebreak.

Now you'll see that you can display K2 articles by tag with their corresponding "Read more..." links.

Hello people!

As the title says it, I am in desperate need of a plugin that would allow me to enter specific tag/tags for related items.

An example:
Let's say I have an article about Metallica going on a worldwide tour to support their new album. The tags I would enter in to the article would be "Metallica" , "World tour 2012" , "New album" and the names of the band members.

And then it would be great if I could have another field in which I could specify only tags that I would like to be Related items triggers for this article, in this case that would be only "Metallica" because I might have a similar article about Madonna also going on a world tour 2012 to support her new album, but I do not want that article to be related to the one about Metallica.

Anyone have a solution for this?

I can't find the language files for the front-end editor. I've been looking for 45 minutes and I've opened up every single .ini file on my site... over 100 of them... looking for the k2 language file for the front end editor, and I can't find it. AAAAHHH!!! :S

For example, here's a string that I'm looking for in the language files: K2_AVAILABLE_TAGS

Please help!

Looking at Google Webmaster tools it's displaying a ton of duplicate title tags on my K2 articles. They are displaying in Webmaster tools like this example:

/articles/blogs/user-blogs/item/716-maiden-voyage-of-the-ss-minnow
/articles/item/716-maiden-voyage-of-the-ss-minnow


How can I fix this issue? I have over 700 of them displaying in Google Webmaster tools.

Thanks!

Still look for help

by give my url in facebook debugger i get same result as desbribed here:

stackoverflow.com/questions/7869430/facebook-open-graph-error-inferred-property

but i don't understand the answer :/
or at least i don't know how to tell to grab base url + article item + tag
instead of base url + don't know what tag

thanks!

We've been working on populating a K2-driven client site with a reasonable number of articles.

Each article has both an Item Image and a SIG Pro Gallery.

We've gotten through perhaps 30 or 40 articles with no problem - each with content, tags, item images, SIG Galleries and attachments.

Suddenly we've hit a wall where adding an item image results in a 500 Internal Server error.

It is *not* the uploading of the image that is the problem - they upload fine through the media manager. Using the "browser for image on server" button and selecting an image that way also results in the 500 error.

It's the act of *saving* an image that generates the error.

Using SIG Pro galleries or adding attachments don't generate this error.

Would really appreciate some help.

Hi Jeff,
Glad it helped!
Oh and whoops sorry about the extra '/' !
I had a think after your previous post and decided to find a way to leave the plugin root folder in its default settings...
In case you do need to leave the plugin default root of images/stories (if you are using galleryPro elsewhere with non k2 item galleries) you can change the plugin params inside your tag.php template override file:

$params =& $mainframe->getParams('jw_sigpro');
$params->set('galleries_rootfolder', 'media/k2/galleries');// galleries_rootfolder left on 'images/stories' default in plugin
$params->set('singlethumbmode', '0');// single thumb off - just an example!

echo JHTML::_('content.prepare', $item->gallery, $params );

The content.prepare bit seems to use the plugin's settings and not the k2 root folder overrides (which I now know are hard coded in to the core k2 code!)
Regards
Mat

That code worked!

The only difference was that the SIGPro root was without the end "/": media/k2/galleries

Thanks again Mat.

If I change the SIGPro plugin settings to media/k2/galleries/ will that only affect existing Image galleries that used the {gallery}myphotos{/gallery} syntax?

Right now all the image galleries were uploaded through the K2 Item Image Gallery Tab so they are already here: /media/k2/galleries/

P.S. that pretty funny about the "new notification system." :-)

Hi Jeff,
I've not seen (cannot remember) the use of a seperate CSS file for the k2 content module - or one that uses the items container called "k2ItemsListContainer"

However this is how you could do it...
Option 1:
in module override php file add this line (adjust folder location/file names to suit your needs):

$document->addStyleSheet("www.YourWebsite.com/template/html/mod_k2_content/Default/css/Override.css",'text/css',"screen");

Option 2:
if you add extra details in your module settings (width, height, colours etc):

$css_code = '
#k2ModuleBox'.$module->id.'.scrollable {
height: '.$scrollDisplayNumber_of_ItemsVert.'px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
width: '.$scrollDisplayNumber_of_ItemsHoriz.'px;
}
#k2ModuleBox'.$module->id.'.scrollable .items {
clear: both;
position: absolute;
/* height: 20000em;*/
width: 20000em;
/*width: '.$params->get('ScrollableItemWidth').'px;*/
}
#k2ModuleBox'.$module->id.'.scrollable.vertical .items {
clear: both;
position: absolute;
height: 20000em;
width: '.$params->get('ScrollableItemWidth').'px;
}
#k2ModuleBox'.$module->id.' .items li {
float: left;
width: '.$params->get('ScrollableItemWidth').'px;
}
#k2ModuleBox'.$module->id.'.scrollable.vertical .items li {
float: none;
width: '.$params->get('ScrollableItemWidth').'px;
}
#k2ModuleBox'.$module->id.'.scrollable img {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
float: left;
padding: 0px;
margin: 6px 0px 4px 16px;
}
.scrollable .active {
border: 2px solid #000000;
cursor: default;
position: relative;
}
#mid_block a.browse {
padding: 0px;
margin: 12px 0px 0px 16px;
background-color:green;
float:left;
width:30px;
height:30px;
}
#mid_block a.left {
margin-left: 80px;
background-color:blue;
float:left;
}
';
$document->addStyleDeclaration($css_code);

Option 2 is from an example I built using the default k2 content module as a base, adding FlowPlayer scrolling to the items... This calls the Jquery scrolling to act on the module by CSS ID as this allows more than one scrolliong event/direction on the page at the same time... (rather than by CSS class)

Hope this helps..
Regards
Mat

Please someone add the Notify option to this forum please!!

Jeff - I have also answered your Gallery in Tag page post (getk2.org/community/New-to-K2-Ask-here-first!/9077-Image-Gallery-in-Tag-Layout) - I am the new notification system!!

Hi Modernmagic,
Try this...

Change the Root folder for image galleries in Simple Gallery Pro plugin settings to:
media/k2/galleries/

In the Tag.php template file call the gallery with this:

<?php if($item->params->get('catItemImageGallery') && !empty($item->gallery)): ?>

<?php echo JHTML::_('content.prepare', $item->gallery ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

Hope the above helps..
Regards
Mat
PS
I did post this on the old K2 site and now its gone I had to remember which clients site I had used it on for you !!

Hi everyone,

Okay, so I had installed k2 v.2.5.7 & allvideo v.4.4 to use for media provision on a new site.  However, I couldn't get the audio that we needed to play (local mp3 via FTP to the "images/audio" folder that we created), for whatever reason.

Allvideos plugin parameters for audio were set appropriately (local folder was set to "images/audio")  but nothing was working (couldn't even get the tags to work in content).

So, I started to do some looking.  First, I did a complete manual upload via the media upload function within a k2 item (25MB, it took a bit).  This, I found, ended up placing the file in the "media" folder (media/k2/audio), which was a bit odd.  So, I dug a bit further.

I looked into the plugins php files (specifically, jw_allvideos.php) and noticed that the audio parameters that were hardcoded were set to ('afolder','images/stories/audio').  Upon changing the (images/stories/audio) path to "images/audio", or removing it completely, my problems were solved.  So, it appears this hardcoded parameter was overriding the settings in the plugin.

I have tested this minimally (I removed the path completely and changed the folder in the parameters to something other than "images/audio", created the new folder and uploaded some media to it, then called it in an item and it worked), but I think this may be the root of my issue.

I hope that if others are finding issues such as mine, this may help them out.  For moderators / admins of this category, any thoughts or insights?  Can you validate what I've said (or not)?

Cheers

3 i want to hide the view items link in the child catagory picture and basically just have the catagory image as the link.

any help on these matters would be really apreciated

I'm not sure about the top articles thing, but I can help with the tag cloud.

In order for the tag cloud to work, you need to:
1. create a few tags. You can do this in the backend either by going to components -> k2 -> tags, click "new" and create a tag; or when you're entering your item, under the category dropdown there's a spot to enter a tag then click "add."
2. Once you have tags to choose from, when entering an article, you can choose from your available tags and add them to the "selected tags" area. They'll now show up under your item.
3. Now activate the tag cloud module. To do this, go to your module manager. Duplicate a "k2 tools" module, then open it. Change your title, choose a position, and under "Basic Options" you'll see a dropdown list next to "Select module functionality." Choose "tag cloud." Down further on the right you'll see a section named "Tag Cloud Settings" where you can make adjustments.
3. The tag will be larger, comparable to the other tag words in the tag cloud, if there are more items with that tag. When people click on the tag word, they'll go to a page listing all those items with that tag. You can choose options for that if you go to the k2 parameters popup. Under "layouts & views" you'll see a section named "Layout & view options for tag listings."

Hi, I've just installed my Joomla 2.5.4, K2 2.5.6 and SIG pro 2.5.3 and everything looks fine except that when I upload a zip file containing a few images to use as Image Gallery, I get this error in K2 item editing interface:
The was a problem converting the source image.
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/27
The funny part is that I can see my images uploaded in "media/k2/galleries/27" but in both administrator interface and front-end item view, I have "{gallery}27{/gallery}".

I've searched everywhere and people facing this problem were giving wrong access to media folder or zipping a folder containing image (not the images).

I have made these settings but problem still exists:

• Access to media folder and all folders inside it are 777
• Access to all other folders is 775
• I'm sure about the zip file I'm uploading. It only contains JPEG images, all of them are less than 80K

I have Ubuntu server and I'm using NginX webserver, but I get the same error in Apache.

What is wrong with my site? I need help!

My website uses K2 but I can't reorder the tags on the page. I want them alphabetically, but nothing works to change the original order

Rocket Theme's title spans, make titles have two different styles/colors, don't work properly after I install K2. I've inspected the elements, and found that the <span>...</span> still gets output after I install K2, but the title text isn't part of the span... it all comes after the span.

How to I get K2 to wrap the first word of the title inside the span tag?
I'm using the rt_quasar template for Joomla 2.5 with the latest K2 version.

This post didn't help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,
I'm new to K2 and I got a few problems. I'm using a GAVICK Template my problems:

- I' using the K2 content module to show my "Top articles", but look at the picture, there must be a design error where can I change the layout?
