Is there a way of adding the rel=canonical to all of the alternative urls that have been found using the 'tag' features? Then they could all point back to the main url?

Here is an example article on our site - www.ecocamel.com/info/why-does-my-shower-have-low-water-pressure

 

should I remove the tags? is that what's causing so much duplication at different urls?

Seems to be working for me.  can you be more specific?

K2 is an excellent tool for many things and will fit great for you exact needs you are trying to accomplish but as for now it will not function fo you in Joomla 1.7. The tags and search functions do not work properly in 1.6/1.7.

Hi,I am using Joomlas' search component, which is working quite well I must say. I am using K2 and extra fields and the Joomla search is bringing back the K2 items OK but it is not showing the snippet of any extra field content it is just outputting an empty paragraph tag.Does anyone know if there is a way of getting Joomla Search to return extra field content as a snippet in the results page?Thanks a mill.

Hello,

We tried using the ISO 8859-1 Characters table on www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp. It does work for the description, but doesn't seem to work for the titles.

Can you advise on this?
Example: please see bottom of the page: 174.121.56.248/~omnexhun/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=17:eberspacher-sutrak-autobuszklima&Itemid=6

This is the code in the labels file: 10AC_136_G3.jpg|m&aacute réb ö|<b>m&aacute rén &#246

Thanks a bunch!

I get this issue with FF 6 on mac too. Did you fix it?

I am trying to implement K2 onto some video content on my site.  We had previously adapted it to a blog area on our site back in March to a great deal of success.

 

But the video is proving to be a bit of a pickle and I do not know what to do to fix this...

 

I have started rearranging the template I have made in my override "video" template folder as mentioned on the GetK2 site...  

 

If you look at my link, you'll see what's going on.  The footer image and footer copy on the first link is in the wrong spot

 

 

dev.source.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=287:avaya-test&Itemid=133
 

The second link shows where it should be on my non-K2 formatted page.

 

www.source.com/about-source/video/video-avaya-certs.html

 

Any advice on how I can fix the "item.php" file I've customized?  

 

Currently I took the JSN-footer that I thought was causing the issue, moved it below some empty &lt;P&gt; and &lt;DIV&gt; tags...  No dice.  I really do not know what is causing this problem in my code, but I appreciate any help anyone can offer.

 

Thanks!

Here is my php info as well.

Is there some way that i could list several tags for some cattegory in menu style (like Categories list Menu) that would link to items that are tagged under that name in that categorie... Sorry for bad english! :) Or is there some k2 extension that can do that?

Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out why the HTML is being stripped from my intro text.  I've done some searching on this, and the only two places I've been able to find config settings that may be related are:

 

Content-&gt;Article Manager-&gt;Parameters-&gt;Filtering Options

 

Here, we have it set to "blacklist" and super-administrator (what I'm logging in as) are excluded from the blacklist.  So I don't think that's it.

 

 

 

 

Components-&gt;K2-&gt;Parameters-&gt;Introtext HTML cleanup (tag strip)

We have this set to "No".  So, again, I don't think that's it.

 

Any help?  I imagine this is real easy once I know where to look... but I've been all over and can't find it!

Hi  :)

I am using a template from Gavick with K2 2.4.1 and the latest Allvideos and for some reason when I use {youtube} tags the video just doesn't display in the content.
Example: bit.ly/pIvbWO

(the embed code works but that's not really what I want)'

hope someone can help.

Check your pms please.

Pm me access to your super admin please.

www.rienkrienksmusic.nl/index.php

Can give you the source codes as well.. If you look under albums / pierre you will see the extra empty image field.

I finally got upgraded (via Jupgrade) from Joomla v1.5.23 to 1.6.6, and installed the K2 SVN 2.5(RC) on the 1.6 site, which, thankfully is now acknowledged by J1.6 within the menu manager. This is a start but I'm having a strange issue that I hope someone can help me with:

 

I want to stress that the K2 content is in the j16_ database tables where it should be, I can see &amp; access it within the admin area of the 1.6 site, but it's just not showing up on the front end at all. I think the major reason for this is because:


Each category's access column in the database j16_k2_categories is set to 0 instead of 1, when I try to change this for the parent category, I get a big db error, because:
There is no column for language, so when I try to change anything in the parent category (from which all others inherit their parameters (or any category), I get the following error:

TableK2Category: :store failedUnknown column 'language' in 'field list' SQL=UPDATE `j16_k2_categories` SET `name`='Library',`alias`='library-main',`description`=' **description went here**

',`parent`='0',`extraFieldsGroup`='1',`published`='1',`access`='1',`params`='{\"inheritFrom\":\"0\",\"theme\":\"\",\"num_leading_items\":\"2\",\"num_leading_columns\":\"1\",\"leadingImgSize\":\"Large\",\"num_primary_items\":\"4\",\"num_primary_columns\":\"2\",\"primaryImgSize\":\"Medium\",\"num_secondary_items\":\"4\",\"num_secondary_columns\":\"1\",\"secondaryImgSize\":\"Small\",\"num_links\":\"4\",\"num_links_columns\":\"1\",\"linksImgSize\":\"XSmall\",\"catCatalogMode\":\"0\",\"catFeaturedItems\":\"1\",\"catOrdering\":\"\",\"catPagination\":\"2\",\"catPaginationResults\":\"1\",\"catTitle\":\"1\",\"catTitleItemCounter\":\"1\",\"catDescription\":\"1\",\"catImage\":\"1\",\"catFeedLink\":\"1\",\"feedLink\":\"1\",\"subCategories\":\"1\",\"subCatColumns\":\"2\",\"subCatOrdering\":\"\",\"subCatTitle\":\"1\",\"subCatTitleItemCounter\":\"1\",\"subCatDescription\":\"1\",\"subCatImage\":\"1\",\"itemImageXS\":\"\",\"itemImageS\":\"\",\"itemImageM\":\"\",\"itemImageL\":\"\",\"itemImageXL\":\"\",\"catItemTitle\":\"1\",\"catItemTitleLinked\":\"1\",\"catItemFeaturedNotice\":\"0\",\"catItemAuthor\":\"1\",\"catItemDateCreated\":\"1\",\"catItemRating\":\"0\",\"catItemImage\":\"1\",\"catItemIntroText\":\"1\",\"catItemIntroTextWordLimit\":\"\",\"catItemExtraFields\":\"0\",\"catItemHits\":\"0\",\"catItemCategory\":\"1\",\"catItemTags\":\"1\",\"catItemAttachments\":\"0\",\"catItemAttachmentsCounter\":\"0\",\"catItemVideo\":\"0\",\"catItemVideoWidth\":\"\",\"catItemVideoHeight\":\"\",\"catItemVideoAutoPlay\":\"0\",\"catItemImageGallery\":\"0\",\"catItemDateModified\":\"0\",\"catItemReadMore\":\"1\",\"catItemCommentsAnchor\":\"1\",\"catItemK2Plugins\":\"1\",\"itemDateCreated\":\"1\",\"itemTitle\":\"1\",\"itemFeaturedNotice\":\"1\",\"itemAuthor\":\"1\",\"itemFontResizer\":\"1\",\"itemPrintButton\":\"1\",\"itemEmailButton\":\"1\",\"itemSocialButton\":\"1\",\"itemVideoAnchor\":\"1\",\"itemImageGalleryAnchor\":\"1\",\"itemCommentsAnchor\":\"1\",\"itemRating\":\"1\",\"itemImage\":\"1\",\"itemImgSize\":\"Large\",\"itemImageMainCaption\":\"1\",\"itemImageMainCredits\":\"1\",\"itemIntroText\":\"1\",\"itemFullText\":\"1\",\"itemExtraFields\":\"1\",\"itemDateModified\":\"1\",\"itemHits\":\"1\",\"itemTwitterLink\":\"1\",\"itemCategory\":\"1\",\"itemTags\":\"1\",\"itemShareLinks\":\"1\",\"itemAttachments\":\"1\",\"itemAttachmentsCounter\":\"1\",\"itemRelated\":\"1\",\"itemRelatedLimit\":\"5\",\"itemVideo\":\"1\",\"itemVideoWidth\":\"\",\"itemVideoHeight\":\"\",\"itemVideoAutoPlay\":\"0\",\"itemVideoCaption\":\"1\",\"itemVideoCredits\":\"1\",\"itemImageGallery\":\"1\",\"itemNavigation\":\"1\",\"itemComments\":\"1\",\"itemAuthorBlock\":\"1\",\"itemAuthorImage\":\"1\",\"itemAuthorDescription\":\"1\",\"itemAuthorURL\":\"1\",\"itemAuthorEmail\":\"0\",\"itemAuthorLatest\":\"1\",\"itemAuthorLatestLimit\":\"5\",\"itemK2Plugins\":\"1\"}',`language`='en-GB' WHERE id='23'


Even with the seo-friendly links turned on, J1.6 has /en/ within the links, so the language field in the k2_categories has to exist.

 

So clearly I need to add another field to not only the K2 categories, but where would it go? What I mean is where should I insert this field within that db table (in between something, at the end)? And would the items be able to be seen (retrieved properly) if it is only in the categories table after that?

Or do I need to execute a SQL query to insert it into the k2_items table as well?

 

It is worth noting that I do have a number of languages installed, but even before I installed them, all Joomla! categories &amp; content are automatically listed as "Language - All." 

 

Can someone please help me out with this?

Bueller? Bueller?

A link to your site please.

Is there any module for displaying k2 items with the custom tags.

 

What I mean is the module will have the whole tags and the admin could select one tag and on the front end the items with this tag will be displayed.

Hi,

i have the same problem. And try to figure this out. But this is the stranged thing..

What I have done so far:

1. check the database values in k2-items. See whats in there. if empty he has a value of NULL.

if ($this->item->gallery == NULL)
{
echo "test";
}

Gives no response...

Make it a bit more simples.. Make the database value 1

Do the check again:

if ($this->item->gallery == 1)
{
echo "test";
}

There is a response.. So it does communicate with the right fields.

Lets make de database field a string: test

if ($this->item->gallery == 'test')
{
echo "test";
}

Nothing again.... I have lost it. When I just echo the $this->item->gallery

It gives me a response of the database value test.

Why doesn't the if statement work?? Any advice would be great!

Hai simon.. i have one dought.. is there any way to generate the automatic tags for k2 item? thanx in advance..

Hi,

 

The strings to translate are 'WRITTEN BY' &amp; 'PUBLISHED IN' which are in the 'language/##_##/##_##.com_k2.ini'.
