Show tags in tags listing

Category: English K2 Community

Hi,

I've made a menuitem that shows my k2 items by tag. But in the item-list I want to show the tags of the item. How do I do this? Can I add some extra code in the tag.php?

This is wat I want:

Items tagged under Nature

- Title item 1
- Text item 1
- Item 1 was tagged under: nature, economics, books


- Title item 2
- Text item 2
- Item 2 was tagged under: nature, books, computer, science

---

This doesn't work in the tag.php file:
<?php foreach ($item->tags as $tag): ?> <li><a href="<?php echo $tag->link; ?>"><?php echo $tag->name; ?></a></li> <?php endforeach; ?>

Flickr not linking

Category: Simple Image Gallery PRO

Hi Katia,

I am trying this in 2 separate articles to save confusion between the 2 issues.

The K2 items are - www.ladiesofthesquaredcircle.com/information/about-us/item/75-hannah-harmstone.html
www.ladiesofthesquaredcircle.com/information/about-us/item/79-amazon.html

The Flickr set being added to the Hannah article is - www.flickr.com/photos/barramya/6841896195/in/set-72157629232355959/

The gallery on the server is within the images folder called myphotos so full url would be www.ladiesofthesquaredcircle.com/images/myphotos/.  I have also tried to just link to images itself and that didn't work.  This is being linked to the Amazon article.

When I tried to add the Flickr gallery to the Hannah article I get - "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: " when you look at the article you get

"Image Gallery
{gallery}www.flickr.com/photos/barramya/6841896195/in/set-72157629232355959/{/gallery} "

So it looks to be attempting to link the gallery but it just can't render it.

When I try to add the {gallery}myphotos{/gallery} tag to the Amazon article I then cannot access the website so I have removed the coding concerned.

The plugin is set to the default parameters regarding location of images.

Thanks

Multiple categories for 1 item?

Category: English K2 Community

Hi Aaron & everyone again.

Thanks for the explanation. I found it helpful and know structures like this. You are right you can do real cool things with tags like show e.g. a “case study” using related items for one item in a business website etc.

However my problem is different: Let’s take your categories – Songs, Artists and Labels. I have the same structure but a 4th category “Genre=Rock”. It includes items that belong to the previous categories and still could be independent and are a kind of “search result + own content”.
Until now I could identify two ways of displaying the 4th category with its items
1) I simply duplicate the item and save it under two categories (this is bad for SEO)
2) I introduce the TAG “Rock” which works fine, but the item by tag list only shows using a menu item (Menu K2 Tags).

If I have the category list view (Songs, Artists, Labels & ROCK) the category link does not trigger the tag view but shows 0 items in the category.

One way could be to create a new template for the category ROCK and have a php statement for tags “Rocks”. If anyone has an idea how to make it a clean PHP statement suggestions are welcome.
But in my understanding this is more into the core of K2 than a simple template modification since with three genres I already have 4 templates and so on which is confusing on large sites (and even smaller ones) since I am not really changing the layout. It is just the other way around, since I want all categories to look alike in this case.

Any suggestions or a plugin or do I simply stop seeing the forest in front of to many trees (in case I apologize)?
Take care and thanks

PHP conflict with K2 Module was created by Renée Johnson

PHP conflict with K2 Module

Category: English K2 Community

There are several places on my website where I am using the K2 module [mod_k2_content_tag] to display article content and after my host upgraded the PHP on the server last week, errors started appearing. They said I need to contact the Joomla developer to find a solution, and since it is ONLY happening where I am using K2 modules, then it must be a conflict with the K2 code. Has anyone run into this problem and figured out how to fix it?

See these pages:
sustainableharvest.org/general/service-l...g-in-central-america - both in the body of the page and the right side column, there are a ton of errors after the title but before the content is displayed.

sustainableharvest.org/press-media/awards-recognition

Joomla Version: 1.5.23
K2 Version: 2.5.5
PHP Version: 5.3.10

Thank you!

You have a point there. We're actually very close to release Simple Image Gallery Pro v3 which address that issue.

In the meantime you can ask your content editors to upload image galleries via the K2 Media Manager and place the galleries using {gallery} tags inside the K2 item content blocks and not the "Image Gallery" tab.

Upload Gallery

Category: Simple Image Gallery PRO

Katia

Now I understand that if I use the media/k2/galleries forlder in the JWSIGPro plugin all works well

BUT, I'm looking for a simple way for my customers to enter K2 items from the fronend.

They can easily zip the images and use the Gallry Upload feature but when the key the {gallery}{/gallery} tag in the text they do not know the K2 item ID

There MUST be a way for them to always key a 'generic' folder name which gets replaced at run time by the K2 item ID

I tried editting jw_sigpro.php line 220
//  Barry Palmer Mod 9/3/12
              if($galleryFolder=="THIS_ITEM_GALLERY")
                  $galleryFolder=$row->id;

so {gallery}THIS_ITEM_GALLERY{/gallery} can be keyed in EVERY K2 item & it will now work fine
BUT when I SAVE (only since K2 v2.5.5!!) I get errors that this folder (THIS_ITEM_GALLERY) does not exist
It seems that the SAVE process DOES execute my code in jw_sigpro.php line 220 BUT at that time the variable $row-id is not available. But the K2 item id MUST be available because the ZIP folder has been correctly placed by this SAVE

Hope I've explained myself this time

Thanks again for offering help

Regards

Barry

SiGpro & K2 Problem

Category: Simple Image Gallery PRO

hi guys,
i got a question, i am using k2 and i really love it. I got a Question  i don´t want them to be displayed in the K2 bottom section i want to insert the gallery directly into the article. In order to do so i would have to upload all images via FTP and then directly link to it which is rather complicated then just uploading a zip file.
Do you know how i can do that. Using the Zip upload advantage and being able to post the gallery directly into the article?

cheers Phil

Multiple categories for 1 item?

Category: English K2 Community

I would love to have multiple categories as well but from everything I have read in my ventures across the interwebs... I have found that multiple categories can wreak havoc on SEO... Beside that and actually more important to me is compatibility.
I have been around Joomla long enough to know that relying on one extension could box me in so I am wary about just installing something to get functionality I think I need.

With all that said, I chose K2 - primarily because it is a strong community, great extension and seems to get upgraded VERY fast to keep up with the newest Joomla. (Over the last couple of years I had developed using Mighty Extensions which is still stuck on Joomla 1.5 with 1.7 compatibility being released in July).

So now I have K2... I would love multiple categories because my items need to be somewhat interlinked. So here is what I did:


1. Created MAIN categories for what the item actually is. For example:
- Songs
- Artists
- Labels
A song is a song and cannot be an artist and an artist cannot be a label,etc.. so it works right?
2. I needed something to interconnect features of the items within the categories.. For Example
- Song has an Artist which I TAG and a Label which I TAG
- Artist has the Artist TAG (shows up in same results as the song with same tag)
3. I actually use extra fields that I have customized to link directly to the tag

In summary - I may end up have hundreds of tags but only my 3 major categories. I realized I did not need multiple categories for each item when I can simply use multiple tags and customized templates.

Hope this helps!

Upload Gallery

Category: Simple Image Gallery PRO

Using SIG Pro, I set the base path to /images/stories/mystuff - fine
BUT when I use K2->image gallery tab to upload ZIP file the images go to media/k2/galleries - not so good
How do I change this??

Also, since the upload automatically creates a new folder with the name of the K2 item id I will need to always use
{gallery}#k2itemid{/gallery} to show the gallery
Since I don't know the itemid until after I save the K2 item can I use a 'generic' tag for every K2 item

Example {gallery}%ID%{/gallery}

Multiple categories for 1 item?

Category: English K2 Community

Hi Aaron & everyone

could you explain your solution more in detail?

My structure is: Category a -> Subcategory a -> Item a; but item a is also part of category c. I can call category c over the menu via TAG but as far as I understood k2 I cannot call Tags via the category. By this I mean that users that are in category c will see items of category c but not items by tags belonging to c.

Does your solution solve this problem? If so an explanation would be much appreciated. Still very interested in multicategories.

have a nice day and thanks!

How to display K2 component on front page?

Category: English K2 Community

A couple ways...
In the menu type setting under the K2 section you will see:
K2
  • Item
  • Item edit form
  • Categories
  • Tag
  • User page (blog)
  • Latest items from (one or more) users or categories

The ones in bold can easily be your front page depending on your content and other preferences.

For my site, I use the Categories type and point to my parent category and display my subcategories so when my users get to my site, they have a nice choice of where they can navigate to.

Hope this helps!

De l'usage des tags

Category: Communauté française K2

Bonjour,

Nouveau sur Joomla 1.7. Je travaille sur un site qui utilise un template intégrant K2. A peu près tous les contenus sont gérés dans K2. C'est dur à comprendre pour moi qui ne connais que Jommla 1.5.
Mon problème est simple : j'ai compris qu'on pouvait créer des tags (mots-clés) et les affecter à des articles. Mon objectif est de comprendre comment créer un menu au sein d'un module affichant les différents tags afin d'afficher en liste les articles correspondant aux tags concernés.
En gros, je voudrais un menu qui affiche une liste d'articles filtrés par les tags.

How to do that ?

Merci des retours.

Problem with item meta tags

Category: English K2 Community

Hi

I have a problem I couldn't find out how to solve it.
All of my k2 items get their meta tags from parent category (or menu) not from the items.
I have a k2 category page(menu) which lists items in a category, this menu has some meta infos and this meta tags are shown even when I open an item from this category page.
This is the category page:
www.tararadesigners.com
How can I set k2 to show the item meta tags instead of parent menu meta tags?

No reply, maybe I didn’t explain well. I want to use K2 as a catalog extension. But K2 don't search for category names.

Maybe is there a way for adding tags for category or an other way for searching category names.

Problem with Image Gallery Pro

Category: Simple Image Gallery PRO

this is my First post and I think I crack the problem.

I was getting the same message:

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/1

What I was doing wrong was how I was ZIPPING my files. I grouped my files in a folder then ZIPPED the folder. When uploaded my ZIP file the fold and all would get unpacked. Thus my images were in media/k2/galleries/1/foldername.

SOLUTION:  When ZIPPING files select the individual files and ZIP them and not the folder.

cheers

Setting up Albums within a Gallery [PRO version]

Category: Simple Image Gallery

Forgive me as I'm new to Joomla and Simple Gallery Pro but I'm stumped on an area that I would think is simple but for some reason has me stuck.

I'm currently using K2 to manage my image gallery but we've run into issues with doing bulk uploads and using Flickr which brought me to the Simple Image Gallery Pro. (stage.florabama.com/gallery)

What I'm trying to accomplish is to have a single page that shows thumbnails of galleries and once I click on the thumbnail it would bring me to a page with ALL of the Thumbnails of that particular folder. Then clicking on any thumbnail would launch the viewer.

PLEASE HELP!!

Thank you

[Edit: I posted this here by mistake, but am really using the Simple Image Gallery PRO version. Doesn't let me delete the topic, and didn't want to post a duplicate. Thanks.]

Content wont save for new items. It's Empty!

Category: English K2 Community

Hi Guys,

I am new to K2, having only just installed it and started to play around.
I am having issues creating new items and im sure its probably me doing something wrong but i cant figure it out.

I can create a new item just fine. When I say just fine I mean i do not receive any errors and it looks as though its all fine except it does not save the content. When i go back into the item or view it live its completely empty.

I can modify the meta description or the title and tags etc and that all saves but no content will save at all.

I need Help!
