Nice site.

Notice that you are using the Joomulus tag cloud at the bottom.

Might I ask how you managed to get it to constantly move?

Hi Michael,

This is what i did to take out the image link in the K2 category section...

- Using eXplorer, find the template that you are using in the templates folder (e.g. "beez"). In this folder create a folder named "html". Then inside the "html" folder create a folder called "com_k2". Then a folder within the "com_K2" thats called "templates". So the "templates" folder should be like this "(you template here)/html/com_k2/templates". (the reason for doing this is to make a copy of the K2 template folder, so that if you upload newer versions of K2 you will not lose it.)

- Still in eXplorer, go to the "components/com_K2/templates/default" folder. Drag the "default" into the "(your template here)/html/com_k2/templates/" folder. It will ask you if you want to copy or replace, say that you want to copy it. There should now be a folder called "default" like this "(your template here)/html/com_k2/templates/default".

- Go into the "(your template here)/html/com_k2/templates/default" folder and open up the "category_item.php" file.

- Scroll down until you see "div class="catItemImageBlock"", this is the start of the image.

- You can see that there is an "a" tag below (i cant paste the full code into here because it doesnt show up)

- If you take out this full "a" tag it will take away the link. Dont forget to take out the "/a" below it.

- So now you should only be left with the code for the image

Hi Simon,

I'm having some trouble with the download... I one of those Joomla users that knows enough to be dangerous. Hope you can help out.

I uploaded (overwrite) the two file using an ftp client (hope that was right). I made copies of the original files first.

Then the directions say to select parameters from the K2 toolbar, but I don't see anything that says parameters. Should it be on the same toolbar as Items, categories, tags, etc?

Sorry if these are ridiculous questions.

I have K2 2.2 installed on Joomla 1.5x.  I need the ability to have the related items by tag list sorted by category.  Is there already a way to do this?

A) Leading, Primary, Secondary are just ways of displaying the content items from the selected category. They can not be assigned to particular categories, other than the category that they are in.

B) For the main content area, have you set a menu link for HOME that points to a category or item?

Try creating one and testing.

Giorgio said:I see
I'd need to check combinations of how to categorize, filter etc. the articles.
For example, articles need to belong to certain category like Sports, National, etc.
So when someone clicks on "Sports" they can see all the Sports Articles.

I don't see Frontpage as a category because authors need to categorize articles with something relevant.
So frontpage regions will be like of 2 types:
Those showing articles from a specific category(Sports, Showbiz, etc.) with a certain layout(lead, secondary, etc.) and...
Those showing articles from ANY category, most like articles manually specified by author to be shown on those regions, again, with the possibility of having a layout(main, secondaries, tertiaries, etc.).

I'm yet to check how to achieve this, I remember that at module level there's the option to specify which articles to show. So the FrontPage's main article could be from any category(Politics, International, etc.) and that is a must.

2 specific questions...
A)
I see that at Category level the backend offers Layout options like lead, primary, secondary, columns, etc. etc.
Is it possible(and normal) to have on FrontPage more than one Region/Position/Module or whatever that shows this layedout articles? For example.. several articles from Sports layedout/styled differently, then several International articles also with more than one layout?

B)
Once I cleaned up all joomla sample data and categories, I added my own sample categories and articles, I made a simple test template with the usual positions, I created some k2Content modules and assigned them to positions, so the FrontPage was already showing articles where I wanted. I noticed the main content area (jdoc component tag) didn't show anything, so I deleted it and added a module position with its k2module assigned on its place, then I realized once I click on an article or its category.. it didn't work or it "didn't go anywhere".., so I added back the jdoc component tag (just below the "main" module position) and links then worked.
Is it normal the component tag doesn't show something on FrontPage?

Sorry for this questions, I'm most likely to figure it out myself in the next hours because I'm still on the process of exploration.


than you very much for your help.

Hey Everyone. I have tried everything I know how to do. I made  website for a boat dealer and used K2 for displaying a list of boats they offer for Brokerage. Problem I have is, it seems like the items list is getting maxed out. Not all of the items will show up. I have 38 Pre-Owned boats in the back end, but under pre-owned boats, only 30 show up on the front end of the site. Am I being maxed out in some way, or is there a setting I need to change to display ALL items? The site is www.advantageloto.com/

 

Thanks in advance for any help, Ken

 

I was referring to the latest version of the JCE Editor, my apologies...

Hy guys, I don't know if it is a bug or not, but I was testing K2 2.3 and I added I new extrafield (text area) so for default value I added this code: <p>teste</p> When I saved it, the code was cleaned and what was saved, was just "teste" with no tags.I think if you want to use html code for text area, you should be able to add html for default value as well.Am I wrong??

I am sure this is a problem with a conflict with jquery and mootools.
You need to ensure jquery runs in noconflict mode.
There is a plugin available on the joomla extensions directory called scquery.
Download, install and enable plugin. Ensure you allow in backend.

Yo could fix this installing other editor like JCE Editor.

Well, this is weird. I went in and found the CSS and altered the tag like you suggested, but I don't see any changes. I'm wondering if I'm altering the wrong file????

Here's where I got it: republicmedianews.com/components/com_k2/css/k2.css

This must not be the right file.

Sam




RepublicMedia.TV said:Hi Yiota,
But itemintro text would affect the intro text. I need to change the main body text. I don't mind the intro text being bold. That's fine.

How do I change the body text in the CSS? That's what I can't find.

Sam


Yiota Ziaggou said:I just saw both the item in the frontpage and inside. I believe you need to alter the k2.css in order for the text inside the full item view to be the same as the list view, without the bold. You need to locate the class div.itemIntroText.

Hey there.. does anybody know how I can add the print item function to items shown in a k2 Content Module?im displaying a list of some article titles (selected form a catagory) in a K2 Custom Content Module and I want the title link to pull up a modal window with the article as it would apear in the normal articles printlink style (i.e. without the page template etc etc)so far I have tried editing the content module template default.php to the attached .rtf filebut.. this is bringing up the iframe that displays the wrong article. The article it shows is actually part of the main contents of the current page (which is a catagory listing and a different catagory entirely from the list in the Custom Module)I tried getting rid of the $this-> in excahnge for just $item-> but that brings up a blank window.Also changing ->printLink to ->link works with the correct article but brings up all my template into the iframe.. all i want is the contents of the article NOT the webpage :(please help!

I use the K2 categories in a semantic way. I want to set different articles of a category to a special look and group them with tagging. I cannot yet assign a K2 template to a tagged group or a single article. This may be a nice feature for the furture.

This Module exceeds by far the K2-Content module in options and functionality! Display NewsK2 is integration in one tool all that is needed for content publishing: miscellaneous orderings (8 types), reach
filtering and flexible output (by user defined template). This module  also may be used for show content of specific author, news of today and many others.

Content items can be positioned vertically and horizontally. User defined format is the best feature of this module. You may compile output from content item elements and html tags. It gives you ultimate
flexibility for content presentation. Also module supports different style families: content items styles, tables styles and Display news dedicated styles. For K2 we added specifically the (multiple select)
nested categories as well as select from the Tags options. Also you have now the option to show the Category image: yes/no

This Module was originally devloped by Rey Gigataras's, modified and enghanced by Boris Komraz (DN by BK) and now completely modified by the professionals of GWS-Desk to serve the K2-landscape.
