Hi Lefteris, thanks for the alternative way you offered.
I just can't do that because too many tags on my site. And increased each day...

Duplication not only on the tag view, it also happened on user view.

I am starting a new website, biobody.nu, and am having a minor issue. I can not find (or do not understand) the solution.I am using K2 with Joomfish (and ACESEF), using Swedish and English as languages, and am getting following correct breadcrumbs: "Start - Skin Care Products - Body Balms" Body Balms is a K2 tag. When switching to Swedish, I am getting:"Start - Skin Care Products - Body Balms - Hudbalsam" (Swedish for Body Balms). This seems to be for some tags, but not for all.Does
anyone knows why both language translations remains when switching
languages? When I click the link "Body Balms" in the breadcrumbs, it goes away and only "Hudbalsam" remains.Swedish is original language, and translated into English.I hope I placed this in the correct forum.ThanksJoomla 1.5.20K2 2.3Joomfish 2.0AceSEF 1.5.2

Hi guys,

I've just made the K2 Joomfish search plugin.

It works with K2 content searching for now.

Implementing tags & extrafields search.

Will come back soon with plugin upload & configuration instructions

I think that this the point where K2 generates the url

k2/components/com_k2/helpers/route.php

function getItemRoute($id, $catid = 0) {

$needles = array (
'item'=>(int)$id,
'itemlist'=>(int)$catid,
);
$link = 'index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id='.$id;

if ($item = K2HelperRoute::_findItem($needles)) {
$link .= '&Itemid='.$item->id;
}
return $link;
}

but i dont see the $alias tag....
I dont think that is have to do with joomla core cause K2 replaces the com_content of joomla...

Hello

In the directory "templates/ja_purity_ii/html/com_k2/templates/default" i have the file "ja_purity_ii_style.css". However I select as Layout template of category the default template, it is loaded the css from "components/com_k2/css/k2.css" and not the ja_purity_ii_style.css. The same happens on the pages showing the items of a specific tag. Why? Any idea?

Thanks

Take a screen shot of the module settings form.

Philip SS said:It's using the templates default settings, when we edited the module name, the tags completly disappered from the site. It's enabled afaik, and there were NO assignment set before we edited the module ... That's what makes me confused. When trying to assign, there's no where I can select the right place.. It's kinda hard to explain.

No it doesn't come with sample data. Easy enough however to add a category and add some items, and a few test tags. Just click on the K2 item in Administration.

Are you using K2 Tools with Tag Cloud Selected?
If you mean it dissapeared make sure that it is enabled and also assigned to either all or the menu pages you want

DM K2 Related Articles allows you to display K2 "related articles" in a module; the module will display related items (by tag) when the user is reading an article; in addition, the module can show a link in the bottom part, the articles' creation date, and it can use different layouts according to
your needs. SEF is supported with native Joomla API. DM K2 Related Articles is designed for K2, and totally COMPATIBLE WITH JOOMFISH!

Don't know if it interests you, but we have just released an extension (DM K2 Related Articles) that lets you show related items (by tag) in a module.
Here is the link: www.dmdigital.it/en/joomla-extensions/pro-extensions/dm-k2-related-articles.html

Hi,

Actually seems it working.. I tried again later.. I think it was a cache issue or something..

Parth Lawate said:Hi, Can you tell me ho exactly did you overide the form ? Placing the file in the html folder of my template as below : /templates/ja_norite/html/com_k2/form.php

Does not seem to work..

Edwin,
Yes I think K2 has some features that will help you out:

-Custom Fields
This could be of use to you if you have certain pieces of information that you'd like to keep seperate in the database. For example, you can add a series of radio buttons that could be used to store your "3-4-5" stars accomodation rating.

I would suggest you have at least, one category for stopovers and one for tour/route.

K2 will out of the box handle your description, photos and videos. For the photos and videos you need to install 2 other free joomlaworks components, but that is a minor speedbump. Once setup I think you'll find that the editor makes adding and updating this information a snap for even non-technical users.

To handle your "Stopovers" you can use the built in tags. Simply make a Tag that corresponds for each stopover, and tag each route with the stopover. If you need to have this list integrated into the article you could use the joomla article hack to include the module content in the article, so you could have a nice integrated list of the stopovers that is clickable and could be used in identifying related routes. When you make a route, tag it with every applicable stopover.

As for customizing descriptions/text, this is more of a Joomla thing, but the process has been described a number of times here: just change the descriptions in the k2 languge file:

community.getk2.org/forum/topics/getting-rid-of-the-title

That´s what I did :)

you are the man. Shame that i didn't get around testing this. I HATE college and i HATE ASHER ROTH.

Lloyd Sims said:For anyone else that is interested, I have now completed a category tagging system. It is a conversion of the item tagging system however, and both can not be used simultaneously. I actually finished this a couple weeks ago, but forgot to share it.
Not tested with SEO enabled. I believe a link will need editing in of the files for that. I do actually intend to look into this, but haven't had the time yet.

The hack is amateur at best, I am not a coder. In fact I only got Joomla/K2 to create this for Nick. Although, I have now decided to use Joomla/K2 for another project as I was impressed. The code is messy and is likely 'over-coded', feel free to clean it up.

There is also a file with sql commands included that will create a backup of the current tag_xref table and then move an items tags to that specific items category. It can not be imported directly into the db though. Please copy and paste the relevant commands - this is to ensure you read the comments and understand what each query is doing - in case you need to revert! The field rename sql is required, but the rest isn't. If you don't want your item tags to port over to the category, then empty the tags table and only execute the "*** Renames itemID to catID for the code" query.

The tag system must be set to selective in global parameters for it to be fully functional on the edit/new category page.

I haven't taken any time into making this into anything you can install. The attached simply includes the edited files, anything I've edited is commented as follows \\Goon or <-- Goon (with !) just search the code for Goon. Anything major has comments on it, and additions have a \\Goon end.

I don't intend to take this project any further unless Nick requires as such. This hack may serve as an adequate base for someone else to do so though.

And, if for some daft reason you decide to overwrite your own files with these on a live server. For the love of god, backup the originals beforehand!

I will describe the issue. I'm working with a site v75tips.nu. This is how it looks with different SEF or no SEF

With sh404sef enabled: v75tips.nu/tag/c385by.html URL is working but but it should be /tag/aby.html in the end.
With Joomla SEF anabled: v75tips.nu/component/k2/itemlist/tag/Åby.html in my display but when I copy the URL it look like this v75tips.nu/component/k2/itemlist/tag/%C3%85by.html This URL working but is not right.
Without any SEF: v75tips.nu/index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&tas...Åby in my browser and if I copy that it looks like this v75tips.nu/index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&tas.... That is also working, but is not right since I want the tag to be aby, not Åby.

Lefteris Kavadas said:Hi. Maybe this is a sh404SEF issue not K2. What happens if you disable sh404SEF?

Hello,A friend of mine, is using K2 v. 2.3 on his Joomla site.When he edited the module name (from fx. K2 tags - to just "tags"), then the module disappeared completly from the site.How can this happend ? We can't get it back on the K2 pages, where it was before the name edit.I hope this is clear enough to understand.Thanks,

Thanks so much to Marni and Brent for their responses to this issue. After stuggling for hours, I was able to follow Marni's step by step response and fix in minutes, Brent also responded with the solution.  Thank you so much... and, I just noticed a PM from William. I have to remember to look in my mailbox!  I am so appreciative of the assistance offered and time spent doing so!

 

I had set Category and Items to not show title or intro text, and needed to set my SEO options... hurrah, all is well till I learn the next step!  Thanks!



 

IMPORTANT EDIT:  Items show if menu linked to article (regular joomla) , but not if linked to K2 item (article)

 

I am sure the text below this image is important too, but thought this would help with any assistance. Thank you in advance for your patience!

 



I used the joomla import, but some of the items are newly built.

Only the home page shows, and the calendar. The items themeselves are blank.

 

I was having trouble with the JCE formating... what worked fine in Joomla showed without paragraphes or headings, etc. I tried changing editor from jce to default, and user (only me exists) editor to jce.  Currently global is back to JCE.

 

The menu's are linked to items.  The items show in the source, editor and preview.

on aimee mahan page, had loaded the zipped gallery for SIG Pro.  That loaded fine, and have both unzipped and zipped pages in the stories/aimeemahan file, but the link for the gallery code  {gallery}myphotos{/gallery} using aimeemahan as my photos will not allow the page to be saved. I tried not inserting the above code snippet, thinking maybe the code was instead of the zipped file, but that didn't help.  So, deleted the code. I eventually deleted the article(item) and created a new one with the same category and sub category.

 

Everything is current download as I am new new new.

I followed tutorials along, 

 

K2v2.3 downloaded on 8/29/10 after problem occured I Updated  as perused the list for answers

JCE wit the jce_advlink_K2100.zippatch_jce_1574.zipsigpro yesterday

I followed the tutorial by Marni Dern  www.writingyourdreams.com/tips-and-tutorials/site-creation-and-design/itemlist/tag/K2Also, some of Simon Says...  and the tutorial called the Missing Doc.  None of them go into detail on the settings... and there are so many... so not sure if I blocked the articles (items!) by trying to block title/author/date/contact? Any ideas on what I could have done wrong?  

goalsquilters.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=4&Itemid=9http://goalsquilters.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=4&Itemid=10http://goalsquilters.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=4&Itemid=7 There is no content on Featured Quilter written.  Also, no pages at all if I use the SEO options in global, so not sure why but set them back to 'no' as low priority for today. Reg joomla pages workedUsing artisteer template, loaded fine before all of this.

 

I also wish I could find more info on JCE and K2 integration. There are lots of articles on how successful this is, but not much about issues, even on the JCE site.

 

I am tempted to dump the K2 and just return to reg Joomla, as I have spent so many hours on this... but think it is a good product. and know it is because I don't understand something.  Thanks for any help.
