i'm interested can you help me? i will pay for this if it's needed

use an xref table. Easy. That way you can link multiple categories to 1 item id. Or you can go the cheap way and store all the categories inside a new row and have php then parse out the id's. This can be done with explode() and implode()
As for the back end you can have a new drop down appear after you select a category. I have over 200 categories so a tag based system or a simple list system wouldn't work for me (unless the list is inside a frame)

It's really not hard to do guys.. I could code it in several days.. i'm just working on college stuff right now.

yes you can, but not in an easy way :) you have to create a SQL query and modify the DB.

 

Something like:

SELECT itemID FROM jos_K2_item WHERE catid = (the id of your category)

and then an UPDATE in those itemID to set tagID = your tag ID.

so we can't add a specifc tag in all items of present right now in a spesific category?
Andrea Vigato said:
because what i know of K2 tag system is that the tag is related to the item, not the category.

 

tagID -> itemID -> catID

 

So you cannot just add a tag ID to the category, you have to check the category you want if it's related to the item then add a reference of the tag you want...maybe after work i'll write you some code ok? B_Dark said:

ok the one column tagID is the one of column part order to find the solution, the other one column itemID is for one specific item id, right? so, i don't understood how with itemID i have a solution for mass add tag "trailer" in 600 item that i have save in my category "cinema'?! sorry if i make rowng but really i don't understood how this column (itemID) is my solution Andrea Vigato said:no, 

 

id (id related to the entry of the jos_k2_tags_xref) 

tagID (id of the related Tag)

itemID (id of the related Item)

 

you have to use tagID and itemID, id it's not important for your question....

wait in table  jos_k2_tags_xref  have 2 columns: tagID(tagID column)itemID(the post)so how i put in 600 items of category "Cinema" the tag "Trailer" with 1-2 steps and not one by one?

Andrea Vigato said:
yes, as i said...right before user is adding a new item you have to check the cat id he choosed, if it's "Cinema" category add the query to set the tagID to the item...

a specific tag in all items of a specific category. like tag "Trailer" in all items of category "Cinema"

B_Dark said:
and if you want all the items of one category with a specific tag?
Andrea Vigato said:
In jos_k2_tags_xref you have the reference between a tag and a item.

 

just a query with your id of the mass tag (tagID column) related to the itemID (the post)...

so do the query when the user add an item in a certain category....

 

first check the category id, if it's the category you want do the query to set a specific tagID to the item the user it's creating...i think you must use form.php in com_k2/views/tmpl, don't remember now...

That's the idea.

 

If you look in the JED, there's a CSV to K2 import extension that will import tags along with the content.

--Olivier

Right, so put every post/item into a single category and then use the tags in each post/item to group them off?

 

That makes sense but unfortunately when I imported all of the content into Joomla it didn't import the tags! I guess I need to import directly into K2 where the items allow for tags. Any easy way to do this?

No you can't have an item in multiple categories in K2... yet (they have mentioned that it's something they will be looking at).  

What you can do is (depending on your needs) use the tag functionality and then create individual tag views to simulate that.

I've been using Joomla 1.6 since beginning of April. I've now even given K2 SVN for Joomla 1.6 a go.

So here's what I have found.

While Joomla 1.6 is very promising, K2 for Joomla 1.5 is still a lot better for displaying items (articles). The Simple Image Gallery and AllVideo plugins, plus attached authors, tags and related items just make K2 those few steps ahead of Joomla 1.6 for showcasing blogs, media and video.

The main issue I have had is that some developers have bought out J1.6 versions of their extensions, but many haven't. And the ones that are out are all in Beta. Something which seems as simple as displaying YouTube videos becomes very clunky, when compared to going to the Video tab in a K2 item, copying in the video ID and clicking Save.

So for now, my recommendation is still K2 with J1.5.

I'm a longtime advocate for using K2.

I'm currently doing some specific customisations and I want to use the URL field for something else.

Please note that I'm already using Extended User Info (great addition, I highly recommend it).

I've managed to stop the URL field from becoming a link.

In components/com_k2/templates/user.php, I've edited line 133 from

<?php echo JText::_("Website URL"); ?>: <a href="<?php echo $this->user->profile->url; ?>" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><?php echo $this->user->profile->url; ?></a>

to

<?php echo JText::_("Website URL"); ?>: <?php echo $this->user->profile->url; ?>

Essentially removing the hyperlinking <a> tag.



However the K2 backend still adds http:// to the front of the URL field.

I've gone into administrator/components/com_k2/views/user/tmpl/default.php to see if I can comment out something that adds the http:// to the url after you save/apply the User record, but I can't see how it adds the http:// to the URL field.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I made changes to Uberpagebreak not SH404SEF

I changed this file:

/plugins/content/UberPageBreak.php

and changed these lines:

161 // TOC page link

162 $output->links[$key]->pagelink = JRoute::_('&limit=1&showall=&limitstart='.($i-1));

 

---

 

186 // TOC footer link

187 $output->footerLink = JRoute::_('&limit=1&showall=1&limitstart=');

 

---

 

208 $output->navNextLink = JRoute::_('&limit&limitstart='.$page_next);

 

The whole file looks like this:

Theres been quite a bit of time difference between the versions, I certainly dont remember tags being in the right panel in the 2 years I have worked with K2.

 

If you have many tags, then use the Free tagging method, as you type it will suggest tags already used.If you use the Selection based tagging method, you will be provided with a table of tags which you can scroll through and select from, if you have many tags, then you will have more scrolling to find the tag you want.

 

This is true for versions 2.2 through to 2.5

 

Hope that helps.

Could someone direct me to a good contact to make this problem heard? I suppose developers at K2 does not follow everything here. I tried emailing them for a quote on a fix. I am willing to pay for this fix.

Dear K2 Community,

 

i would like to have one item in two categories. But i know that this is not possible. So i thought i could create a normal item in one category and than i could create a second item in a second category. The second item in the second category would be completely empty and link to the first item in first category. But the problem is that i can't place a link within an item title to make a direct link. In my category listings there only the titles appears so i must place the link in the items title. Always when i try to add a link in the items title it ends up the link cut down just to words without all HTML Tags.

 

The main idea behind linking an item is to avoid double content because of Google. And to avoid the work of editing two items when they are in two categories.

 

I really need this to be possible because otherwise we can't use K2 and that would be a pitty because for me K2 is really the best CCK for Joomla. Is there any way to accomplish the above said? Even a hack would be nice.

 

thanks in advance
