I am having the same issue. Serious help is required here. If that is not solved then this means that K2's tag features is worthless for sites with good SEO.

I'm curious how you and others deal with low tech clients that want to update their large sites regularly.

Its a tough call for me because I like K2 for the integrated image/video/tags/popups but with Joomla 2.5 around the corner and I'm thinking that for the client all j2.5 is missing is the taggins system.

I' at the beginning of building this large site, so I could change gears and not use K2, but I sold the client on the tagging....

Hello,
I bought the Simple Image Gallery Pro and installing went perfect but now i can't use the plugin because i have a problem concerning cache.

The cache folder on my server is writable but i always get following error messages:

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: images/stories/fotogalerij/trolltunga

Warning: imagejpeg() [function.imagejpeg]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 10092 is not allowed to access /var/www/vhosts/mydomain/httpdocs/cache/jw_sigpro owned by

I made contact with my hosting company and the say dat this is due the PHP SAFE MODE is ON. They said to me that setting this mode off will cause some security problems.

Could someone give me a solution fot this because this error is also taking effect on my integration with K2

Thanks from a newbie.

I have installed the latest version of simple image gallery pro on joomla 1.7.3 with K2, activated the plug-in but I only see the tags {gallery}file{/gallery} on the published page.

Have someone a idea what to do ?

Here's the Category view - www.sdeccc.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=category&id=9:board-of-directors&Itemid=236


Here's the Item view - www.sdeccc.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=21:joe-mackey-outgoing-chair&Itemid=236



Notice how the info to the left of the image is correct on the item page but is all one sentence on the category page. It seems as if all the <p></p> tags are being stripped away in Category view. What's going on with this?

i have a k2 dynamap component, which have tag search, but when i open some category it then lists all tags from k2. i need it to list only tags found in items from that category...

here is query settings from php:



$curtag = JRequest::getCmd('tag');
$catid = $params->get('catid');

$user = &JFactory::getUser();
$aid = $user->get('aid');
$db = &JFactory::getDBO();

$jnow = &JFactory::getDate();
$now = $jnow->toMySQL();
$nullDate = $db->getNullDate();

$query = "SELECT t.name, t.id ";
$query .= " FROM #__k2_tags as t";
$query .= " LEFT JOIN #__k2_tags_xref tags_xref ON tags_xref.tagID = t.id";
$query .= " LEFT JOIN #__k2_items i ON tags_xref.itemID = i.id";
$query .= " LEFT JOIN #__k2_categories c ON c.id = i.catid";
$query .= " WHERE t.published=1 ";
$query .= " AND i.published=1 ";
$query .= " AND ( i.publish_up = ".$db->Quote($nullDate)." OR i.publish_up <= ".$db->Quote($now)." ) ";
$query .= " AND ( i.publish_down = ".$db->Quote($nullDate)." OR i.publish_down >= ".$db->Quote($now)." )";
$query .= " AND i.trash=0 ";
$query .= " AND i.access <= {$aid}";
$query .= " AND c.published=1 ";
$query .= " AND c.trash=0 ";
$query .= " AND c.access <= {$aid} ";
$query .= " ORDER BY t.name ASC ";
$db->setQuery($query);

$rows = $db->loadResultArray();

$cloud = array();

if (count($rows)) {
foreach ($rows as $tag) {
if (@array_key_exists($tag, $cloud)) { $cloud[$tag]++; }
else { $cloud[$tag] = 1; }
}
}

return $cloud;

hello
i am using joomla 1.5.25 and k2 2.4.1 in my website and i have some problems in some k2 tag items listing page, in some of tag pages my left position has a an illegal movement and comes around center bottom of the page. but in some of tag pages it is doing well without this issue.

it doesn't seem to be template issue or css problem.
and sh404sef enabled or disabled, hasn't any affect to this issue, i am really confused that i dont know what is causing this problem.
is there any idea about this?

you can check it yourself from these links:

k2 tag page with problem


k2 tag page without problem




my website language is arabic.

The tag view page of K2 is somewhat limited compared to the category page. I want to add the same comments counter from the category view page to the tag view page.

I tried to put this code in the tag.php:

But that doesn't work and messes up the whole layout. Can someone show me the correct code I have to add in the tag.php file?

Hello everyone ! i ve just imported all my content from joomla core into k2 and noticed that about 300,000 tags were created and associated with my articles .

i am trying to find a Mysql command to delete the tags that are not in article's titles both from __k2_tags and __k2_tags_xref tables .

Can somebody help me ?

Thank you !

I have update Joomla to version 1.7.3 and K2 to version 2.5.4 and I'm still seeing this issue. Is this normal? Should there be multiple URLs pointing to the same tag page in K2?

Ok, let try a different approach.

I created a new K2-Tools module for custom code. I copied the following code from item.php into the custom code text field in the module.

Now the page crashes in the browser. Obviously I'm missing something.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Eyal




<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemRelated') && isset($this->relatedItems)): ?>
<!-- Related items by tag -->
<ul>
<?php foreach($this->relatedItems as $key=>$item): ?>
<li class="<?php echo ($key%2) ? "odd" : "even"; ?>">

<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemRelatedImage')): ?>
<div class="itemRelImage"><?php echo $item->image; ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemRelatedTitle', 1)): ?>

hello,
thank you for reply

Is there any option avalaible? Is it any article how create similar substring?

I would like to limit text in the intro to about 150 words WITHOUT setting the tag in artictle body. I would like to use this on the index.php?option=com_k2&view=latest&layout=latest --- view - latest from user or category. Im using this layout as my start page.

Im building site with content from the normal users, not professional editors and they dont know how to use these options.

Hi All,

I am new to K2 so please spare me if I ask stupid questions. ;-)

I am trying to create a TAG based related items. I saw that by default, K2 shows the related items at the bottom of the page, right below the content area.

I am using a template that has a special position that I would like to use for the related items. How can I change the assigned position of the related items to the one defined by the template?

Or alternatively, I created a module that shows a category in this position but it doesn't filter the items based on Tags. Would it be easier to add filtration to this module? and how do I do this?

Thanks in advance.

ok some progress in getting SIG to work, just not with K2 integration ..

If I set the Root folder for image galleries to be images/stories/galleries and then insert the tags {gallery}73{/gallery} then everything works.

This suggests to me that SIG is working, but SIG integration with K2 isn't working. I'm using K2 2.5.4.

Any ideas or suggestions ?

Hi there,

Like a lot of folks new to SIG Pro, I too am having issues getting the gallery to display in my K2 item. As usual the error message is -

        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/73

I have ensured the plugin is published, I have set the root folder for image galleries  to media/k2/galleries/

I have set the permissions on the galleries folder to 777 as well as the sub dir 73 (also to 777) I'm not sure how secure using 777 on any Joomla site is ??

I'm running Joomla 1.5.25, SIG Pro 2.5.6, PHP 5.2.17

Any suggestions that might resolve this ?

So, I paid for the download therefore it seems that it should work. I added the Flickr but when I add the compressed zipped file to Image Gallery it still does not upload it. I only tried with two pdf picture but it still does not work. Where else should I check? thank you, :silly:

I tried to load from Flickr and this is the message that I received:
"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:"

As I said, there is no error when I tried to upload the folder saved on my computer since it does not save it at all, it only tries to save it.

Hello K2'ers;-)

On my site, I would like to limit the editable items on the frontend to be tags and extra fields only. It is my understanding that there are no settings to control this behavior, I wonder if someone could point me to which file that I might need to look and hack.

BTW, the controllable items are:
Image tab
Image gallery tab
Media tab
'Extra fields' tab
Attachments tab
K2 plugin fields
Default state for the item form sidebar

Obviously the content tab is not hide-able here, neither are the title, alias, categories, etc., fields.

I am having a problem with K2 Videos (Locally hosted) not playing in my k2 articles. The video loads but never plays. See attachment:

I have tried disable plugins, moving plugins around all without success. Can someone please help point me in the right direction to solve this problem.

Thanks and let me know if more information is required. Will PM.
