Hi again! :)

 

I am Korean CMS user/designer who is used to use Korean forum style which is great for some ways...so I was hesitage to develop community site with Kunea or Agora or PHP BB kind of forum styles...not that the one I am familiar is superior to those or something.

Couldn't make up my mind wheather I should make community site with Korean CMS or Joomla with right forum...but I didn't feel so comfortable yet...and surfing around till last night. :)

 

I just came to K2 community last night and I LOVE THIS FORUM STYLE!!

The blog submission by open public, forum system and profile, inviting friends etc!!!

 

I'm new to K2 so I don't know if these systems are for sale for developers or Joomla users.

I know the blog system is EasyBlog-I assume??? Am I right?

What about this forum system?

 

Thank you for your advice and sharing info! :)

 

Thanks Yiota! I will check out those and see!!! :)

Are the images inside the content or they are item images? If it is the latter, check the Category parameters for the item listing to see if there is a setting selected to show the image of the item. If it's the former, the introtext probably cleans the img tag and you will have to go to the general K2 parameters, enable the introtext cleanup and exclude the img tag and every other tag you want to show to the introtext.

Hello,

I do not think this has been asked before, but I have a hard time understanding why.

 

The problem is that I want to limit the number of items shown in the K2_content module (or rather, K2_content_tag) on a single page, but the only "limit" there is is the total number of items on the page. All of the items appear on one page. So let's say I have 50 items that have the tag "Boat", well 50 items will appear on that page.

 

Is there anyway to put only 5 items per page, and have a couple of pages instead, just like in category view or front page view? It's like the K2_content is missing the "Leading article" thing that would usually take care of splitting up the item list in a few pages.

 

If what I explain wasn't clear please let me know.

 

Thank you very much in advance,

 

Sincerely,

I'm sure i'm missing something...

 

Here is the site address... 79.170.44.155/hangtags-labels.com/

 

I have a parent category - Applications and ten Sub-Categories

 

At the moment i only have a single item in the Metal Industry sub-cat, but it shows on the Applications (which is a link to the K2 cat Applications, that has no items in it at all) link, i just want to show the sub cats and no items.

 

'Ive tried everything to no avail, any pointers/suggestions anyone?

 

TIA

Comparatively, $79 is quite steep. One example, is the Joomla Wordpress Component from CorePHP, which sales for $69.99 and works quite well and includes a functioning mobile Wordpress app capability and the coveted item posted to multiple categories capability. 

 

Perhaps with more time, product maturity and some positive reviews, the price tag would be well quantified. Considering the price point, though, I lean toward Simon's assessment and would consider $15 to $25 to deliver a greater return on investment than would the $79 price point. Consider that the lower price point would render a more forgiving customer base of bugs and the fact that the customer base would be far greater in quantity, allowing you to draw upon the experience of more people to achieve product maturity much quicker.

 

Thanks.

Hi all,

Ring's End was quite a large project and we were thankful enough to have K2 at our disposal as a development tool. We were able to take advantage of all of the core functionality K2 offered, along with a few custom templates (and a timThumb script for the varying category and sub-category image sizes throughout the products section) to make this a very versatile site.

 

After going back and forth between different CMS and 3rd party extensions... lesson learned: Go with K2!

K2 and News Show Pro GK4(using k2 tags)

(i)  keepvancouveroriginal.ca/Residential-Carpet-Gallery.html.   On the right side of the page, on the top, I created 3 menu links that point to three tags. For example, the “$3-3.99 per sqft” menu link points to the “expensive” tag. However, if you clink on the menu link, it doesn’t list any items, even though there are items tagged “expensive”. Clicking on the actual “expensive” tag (under the items) doesn’t list any items either.

(ii) If you click on any of the items or tags on the given page, the side menu and the category list disappears. This wasn’t an issue until I switched sh404 on.

 

Cheers,

Tom

 

I COLSE DOWN AND SET ASIDE THIS ISSUE FOR NOW: the site is offline for now: I will re-open the issue if it remains and issue. I apologize for the confusing situation.

Hello,

 

I am not sure if I'm in the right section, but what I'm trying to accomplish is in theory pretty simple, but here are the straight facts.

 

Backstory: Trying to put content on a page that is filtered by tag. Found modules that do this, but the one modified and official does not work, so I took David Robinson's module. Used the "Modules Anywhere" component in order to put a K2 Content or K2 Content By Tag Module inside an item.

 

Problem: Internal Server Error 500 if I try to load a K2 Content Module or a K2 Content By Tag module inside an article, when I visit the actual page. The rest of the site loads correctly.

 

Question: Anyway around this?

 

Alternative: Ultimately, the goal was to have an item in multiple categories. That doesn't work in K2, so I tried tags instead. But if I can't have content filtered by tag, then what other alternatives are there? The multi-cat solution I found is only in beta and is not recommended for a live site.

 

I have also looked at extra fields, but the presentation does not really fit with the original goal of filtering or presenting items based on multiple categories.

 

Any other workarounds for accomplishing this?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Sincerely,

 

Ehm

Use tags.
Whenever I want to be able to sort or filter items by something other than category or published date, I create a tag.  Hugely flexible, plus if a better system comes along later, they won't interfere.

Hi guys, appreciate that this is a bit of an old thread but has anyone come up with a solution to this? I'm having the same problem using a Joomlart template: www.swaysearch.com/blog - I fixed the bullet point issue on the tags but can't get rid of them on the ratings. If I add the background: none using Firebug all I get rid of are the stars themselves.

 

All other solutions seem to relate to the template.css itself which will remove the graphical bullets from the rest of the site - not a viable solution.

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers

I seem to have some sor of timing issue. I installed myApi and that screwed up my meta tags but have since uninstalled it. Other than that my K2 items do not pull through to my modules on my front page. eg. The newly published item will be visible in the cateogry it is published but will not show in my JA Tabs module, latest items or JA Newspro module for some time. Maybe an hour elapses and then it displays.

 

Has anybody had a similar problem?

Thats a Bingo!

 

 

community.getk2.org/forum/topics/tags-not-working-when-image
 

 

try this out, it worked for me. I can only add tags using the add/select method. Tags stick on the item, they display on the item in front end...

 

YAAAAAY!!!

 

I guess it would depend on when the post was made. If the post is made at the date you want to have it attached to, then I guess a module that shows posts based on date, would do the trick. If however, you write the item in january, but want to tag it with march it could be a bit more difficult, but then you could always override the creation date!

 

Not really sure if that will work. I want to pre-assign a month and day to each content item. Then as visitor goes to site on June 4th and the items with June 4th attached to them would show up on the home page. I thought blogs were controlled by latest date/post?

Do you mean show all posts that fall on a particular date? Like on a blog?

Hello,

I am new to K2 and only somewhat acquainted with Joomla in general, but need to make some improvements for a client of mine  I've figured out how to override the templates with no problem and have made successful changes to the item layout.

 

What I'm trying to do now, is I need to add one <link> tag to the <head> section of items.  I've tried to do it from my item.php override, but I'm guessing it's too late at that point to add head content.  I need information from the K2 item which is why I'm trying to do this in K2. I can see that I could do it very easily in:

components/com_k2/views/item/view.html.php

but being a good developer, I would rather not modify the code directly.  So my question is if there is a way to override the view code file so that I can make this change in my own copy and have it picked up by K2?

 

Thanks for any help on this.

 

I think you've choosed the wrong component.

I've made a pure ecommerce using Virtuemart, was sure more simply than using K2 with KMart & KStore (also if virtuemart it's very buggy).

 

I'm actually using K2 to create a private ads site (similar to kijiji) and it's the best solution, i'll use k2mart for paying ads.

 

I'dont have understand what's your problem, anyway if you're looking for sorting items in a category just modify the sql with an ORDER param.

Hmmm...   Ive spent quite ab it of time trying to learn how k2 works.. and at first site it looks good....

 

I've tried CCK extensions like Fabrik and Jseblod  

I'm slightly dissapointed about k2's sorting option... It looked good at first, but just to give you an example of what troubles i have been facing... k2 recently came out with Kmart and it has Kstore...

These are based on k2 items and categories.... I thought wow cool... it should be better than Virtuemart....

 

Using Virtuemart, you can create menus and specify which categories of products to show. All of this listing has a small filter feature at the top that allows user to sort by date, product etc.

After setting up k2, kmart, kstore and figuring out the layout. I had this feature request from my client which is a MUST is the user should be able to sort by certain fields....Because of this now i am stuck.     I'm back to the drawing board. Might as well i just use Virtuemart right?  k2 has to have some advantages for us to use it otherwise it seems too much of a hassle to integrate with virtuemart, caue in the end the result does not have certain "must haves"Creating Menus..> When i create a menu item..   normally i can choose Articles and sort them by anyway i want with the parameter options (By date, order, alphabetical, etc)For k2, if i choose a k2 item, there is no option there for me to set the sorting. Even with jseblod manage to come up with a directory system with very nice sorting. Isnt that the point of using a system like k2?
