It seems that the img tag doesn't have width and height parameters. Maybe there is some conflict with the javascript.
You can write for support here landofcoder.com/forum/forum.html?id=17 as this is not a K2 problem.

One other way to control the module assignment whether you are in a category view or in an item view is the following.
On your index.php file (in your template) once you locate the module position you can make an if statement
$option = JRequest::getCmd( 'option' );
$view = JRequest::getCmd( 'view' );

if ($option==com_k2 && $view==itemlist) :

load this module position for the category view (or the tag view or the search)

else :

load another module position for the item pages

endif;

You can also play between the $task also and load another module for the tag or search.

Hi,Content - ghSnippet plugin is a plugin that replaces a snippet tag (ie: {snippet Test} with a HTML code that you have declared in the configuration.Any ideas on how to make it work on K2?Although I have disabled html stip from the configuration, the plugin does not work.Thanks in advance. :D

We are creating a multi-blogger site using Joomla 1.5 and K2. To encourage members to add articles, we want to implement a Google Adsense revenue share program where authors earn a percentage of the revenue of the Adsense ads shown on their page.Following is an overview of how we envision this to work:- Author creates account, and in K2 Login area, goes to edit their account. In that area the author would input their Google Adsense publisher ID details- In Admin, site owner configures extension to establish percentage given to author (40%, 50% 75%, etc.). - Author makes post, and Google Ads are displayed the page...above and/or below article, in module, etc.I have found a developer who will develop the extension, and I am posting here to see if others are interested in this feature and would be willing the share the developmental costs.I think this is a good feature to have on a multi-blogging site as it encourages member participation. Bot site owners and authors earn revenue, and ad creation, payment, etc. is done through Google.-Pat

My site is new. It's basically a gaming news site with some community features (Jomsocial) and a forum (Kunena). There are no problems at this time, but I feel like my site could use a little "pizazz". I'd like to somehow connect the three main portions of my site a little better. The news/community/forum elements feel a bit too separate right now.

 

I know this is a very general question, but I'm just curious if K2 might help me pull things together and provide more of a unified, integrated feel to my site?

 

Here's my site if you might want to check it out...

Another way to put my question...in general, I've heard a lot of good things about K2. While I'm pretty satisfied with my site at this early stage, I'm just wondering if K2 might provide some value to what I already have?

Am I being unfare to the community?
Is this so complicated? The whole K2 TAGS (again) is showing it's limits and to think I haven't started with META TAGS.
I'm in the television broadcasting area and since the tapeless medium has begun we have gone from video info to complete tapeless file info based using so called DAMS (Digital Assest Mangement System) software, this is pretty complex suffice to say if it can't handle META TAGS the whole system is totally useless. What I'm trying to say is that I don't expext Joomla to be a DAMS software but let us be very aware of what a TAG and META TAG is and what it isn't and to what point can K2 take me with this info, in other words can it easily integrate with the rest of its own family(?)

I just posted this in joomlaworks but wanted to see if anyone else in the community could help;

Just wondering if there is anyway to insert a K2 tag that goes directly to a specific uber page with the same tag? For instance in an item say "Cameras" I have a page break entitled with "Lens" if in K2 I tag "Lens" is it possible that with this K2 tag I can go directly to that specific uber page break "Lens"?

Thank You

I am having the same problem. I can upload images (you do have to watch those file names) when they are named properly and they show up in the image gallery tab on the back end in the K2 item editor panel.

BUT...they show up as a blank box when viewed on the front end. They have a click to view image text and when you click the image it does appear large in the popup window, however, I need the image to show like it should on the front end small in gallery view like the plugin works when you use in with manual tags in content.

Here's a live link (the site is very bare bones, lots to do but want to get the bugs ironed out before I do any real work here).

I can provide access if you think you have a fix and need to try implementing it.

Thanks in advance for any assistance and suggestions on getting this cool feature to work properly.

Not pulling from the child category is not a bug but it is limiting. I tried to setup a calendar system where a sub-category could be used to display highlighted events in the K2_tools module but this is not possible (even by using taggs).
The use of a drop-down menu is easier for newbies but it would make the module more flexible where ever a category is shown you can make the decision of one or many - probably easier to do with category id number.

Hi,I am trying to make some modifications to the k2 component. Actually i am trying to add character limit
instead of word limit for the intro text for category listing, to
achieve better control over the content. For me this is essential to my
project and i have some deadlines i require help, however this would be
very useful for every other k2 user, i wonder why it's not there by
default.So...There is a tutorial on the k2 forums on how to add character limit to to the k2 content module but not for the component actually...So i tought i can somehow use that code but add it to different places.This is the tutorial to add the char limit to the module:link to the attachment:http://weblogicxindia.in/k2store/index.php?option=com_k2&amp;view=item&amp;task=download&amp;id=14Step 1Download the attached file below , and rename it as charlimit.php and add it to ROOT/components/com_k2/helpers/Step 2The only hack you have to do is adding a param to the k2 content module. Open the mod_k2_content.xml fileadd this param after line 82. (that is after the param for word limit)<param name="itemIntroTextCharLimit" type="text" size="4" default=""label="Introtext character limit" description="Leave blank to diasble.If you enable this option, all html tags from the text will be cleaned upto make sure the html structure of the site does not brake." />Save it. and Go to the backend, open the k2 content module in the back end
and set the character limit. if you set the character limit, then this
will be taken and not the word limit. leave this blank, if you want to
disable this.Step 3Create a template over ride for the module k2 content. Create the module structure inside the html folder of your template.Here is a brief for those who do not know about the template overrides:
Inside the html folder in your template (if u dont find, create a folder
and name it as html), create a folder named mod_k2_content. Then copy
the content from ROOT/modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl to the newly created
folder in your template.Open the default.phpadd this line below this defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');require_once (JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'charlimit.php');and in line around 69, find these code&lt;?php if($params-&gt;get('itemIntroText')): ?&gt;&lt;?php echo $item-&gt;introtext; ?&gt;&lt;?php endif; ?&gt;replace this code with:&lt;?php if($params-&gt;get('itemIntroText')):if ($params-&gt;get('itemIntroTextCharLimit')) {$item-&gt;introtext = K2charUtility::charLimit($item-&gt;introtext, $params-&gt;get('itemIntroTextCharLimit'));} else {$item-&gt;introtext = $item-&gt;introtext;}echo $item-&gt;introtext;endif;?&gt;That's it. Your are done.I have done Step 1I have done Step 2Add this param after line 82. (that is after the param for word limit)&lt;param name="itemIntroTextCharLimit" type="text" size="4" default=""label="Introtext character limit" description="Leave blank to diasble.If you enable this option, all html tags from the text will be cleaned upto make sure the html structure of the site does not brake." /&gt;but i did not added the code in mod_k2_content.xml but instead in category.xml located in ROOT/administrator/components/com_k2/models/This added the option in the backend successfully(under Item view options in category listings) and indeed there is an option right after the word limit to choose character limit.I have NOT done Step 3In the tutorial he says:Open the default.phpadd this line below this defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');require_once (JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'charlimit.php');and in line around 69, find these code&lt;?php if($params-&gt;get('itemIntroText')): ?&gt;&lt;?php echo $item-&gt;introtext; ?&gt;&lt;?php endif; ?&gt;replace this code with:&lt;?php if($params-&gt;get('itemIntroText')):if ($params-&gt;get('itemIntroTextCharLimit')) {$item-&gt;introtext = K2charUtility::charLimit($item-&gt;introtext, $params-&gt;get('itemIntroTextCharLimit'));} else {$item-&gt;introtext = $item-&gt;introtext;}echo $item-&gt;introtext;endif;?&gt;For the module it's in that template over ride in the default.php But the problem is i don't know where to add the code for Item view options in category listings in the k2 component.Thanks for helping! I hope this will help to other people as well.

Hi everyone,

In attachment the Joomfish K2 search plugin that actually only works with K2 content.

I'm working on the full version (content, tag &amp; extrafields).

Alberto Barajas said:Hi all!
I also have the same problem. Please olivier, tell us something when you can, of course... Thanks in advance for the effor ;)

Best Regards!

Alberto.

Well, looks like I found one of the issues to this problems. The search does not search in my tags, but adding them to the metadata did the trick. I admit that I've been terribly sloppy and just simply forgot to add metadata. So now I have to go through 400 articles and add the tags to my metadata. Woho... NOT. :-(

But I still think it's weird that even if I have "search tags" the search module does not do that. The other problems persist, and still giving me weird search results. :-(

I write for an information about the use of K2.




On the home page of the site I use various modules to display K2 items.



When i Click on each item I wish I would open it showing some modules.



Example: http:/ / ipsia.acli.unalapalla.org /

clicking on an appuntamenti (such as "sangue verde"), I can see the single article, but I would
like to open the article with some modules, such as happens if I go
to the appuntamenti section from the menu on the top
(ipsia.acli.unalapalla.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=latest&layout=latest&Itemid=72):
calendar, tag and other...

is it possible?



One more information.

I use archive in k2tool. The module works if I don't use filters, works, but if I filter for a section
the module disappears.

Any idea?



Thank you very much.

Have a nice day

Laura

great job!

but one question, how to show it just in one category, ore just where fields are filled?
blank maps appears in every articles, also where extra fields are not activated and tag is on "hide".

thanks
laura

Hi Hope someone can assist. I’m working on a site that utilises Joomla version 1.5.21 and K2 version 2.4.1.

 

When viewing K2 certain child categories in Internet Explorer ver. 8 only one child category is being displayed and IE lists the following error;

The site is currently off-line and more than happy to send a support guru access details.

Not sure what is going on as some categories are fine while two are not.

 

The site is  www.bexleypromo.co.nz.

The issue I am having is with two menu items that reference K2 categories not displaying correctly (these URL’s are www.bexleypromo.co.nz/promotional-products and www.bexleypromo.co.nz/technology-a-it-products).

This is only happening in Internet Explorer.Please help

 

UPDATE: Fixed, the problem was a whole lot of crap code in my catagory descriptions (lots and lots of code from somewhere, took it out and all good).

hi,

i actually found a suloution to this. I basically used the nivo slider (nivo.dev7studios.com/) which seemed reliable and extendable.

What i did was use the image galleri already there, ( i had simple image galleri PRO installed), and set the thumbs to be bigger.

in the file jw_sigpro.php in the plugins/content/ folder i removed everything inside $headIncludes on line 115.

then on line 177 in the same document i removed everyting inside $html_template and replaced it with




What i like about nivo slider is that is dosn't require anything other than the tag.


on k2 i did following:

in the item.php file in my template (components/com_k2/templates/)

i placed the following code where i wanted my gallery slider. This way the first main image will always be first.






item-&gt;image; ?&gt;" alt="" style="width:px; height:auto;" /&gt;




item-&gt;image; ?&gt;" alt="" style="width:px; height:auto;" /&gt;





The code for the nivo slider javascript (in attition to the nivo slider main javascript and jquery of course):




Did it for me.

Hi Helen,

had the same issue - try this. Set "Character limit for autogenerated meta description tag in items" in K2 params to "0". Or set meta description tag for item to avoid autogenerated meta tag.

Hope it works for you as did for me.

Johnny.

Hello,

I've installed K2 on my website to be able to use the tagging system it offers. 

Basically I have some pages that display lists of articles fetched from a single tag. So for example all articles with the tag "flowers" appear on a specific page. 

It works really well, a part from the fact that the articles on the page don't appear as a list, but as whole articles. As my contents are quite vast I'm ending up with massive pages, forcing the user to scroll down a lot to get to the contents they're looking for.

All I need is to have a list of articles instead of a the whole articles, with a clickable title and a "read more" button. Ideally we'll have a couple of lines of the first paragraph too.

At the moment the title is already linkable and leads to a page where that specific article is shown. So all I need is to cut the the content of the article to a couple of lines and add a link "read more".

This is already possible if the list is generated by category instead of tags and I was wondering if it's possible to take that script and use it for the tagging system.

Is there anybody able to help me on this? Or are there any other ways to do it?

At the moment K2 doesn't offer the possibility of doing this on its options.

Thank you
P

Thx for trying to help but my problem is not that the module wont show.. the problem is that the link to the k2 item are lacking itemid :(



Olivier K. said:Hi Markus,
Don't know how to solve your exact problem but I've ran into the itemid issue when displaying the tag or author page and with sh404 on.
One hack is to use the Advanced Module Manager (www.nonumber.nl/extensions/advancedmodulemanager) and assign default modules to appear when no itemid is found. Maybe that can solve some of your issues...
