anyone please?!?! :-)

damn it didnt quite work, I also had to modify
plugins/content/jw_sigpro.php to stop it producing an empty list of gallery images by breaking out of the processing loop if the gallery is empty.

about line 155:

if (preg_match_all($regex, $row->text, $matches, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER) > 0) {
// start the replace loop
foreach ($matches[0] as $key => $match) {
$tagcontent = preg_replace("/{.+?}/", "", $match);
// hack start
if (empty($tagcontent)){$row->text='';break;}
// hack end
$tagparams = explode(':',$tagcontent);
$gal_folder = $tagparams[0];


also in the previous post the hack needed to be if (empty($item->gallery)) rather than if(!isset($item->gallery)).

sure this is a hack but it solves the issue for me so Ive posted to help out any other poor hackers.

1. You have to change the register.php file in components/com_k2/templates/register.php and add the following lines in the table around line



2. Create an article with you terms , then create a menu link to ths article , click in front-end on menu link and copy the URL.

3. Paste the copied URL in the a href tag. Delete link in the menu

Thats it

Hi, Ive been trying to get  K2 item images to use the sig pro plugin in the same way that the image gallery does.  This is so that I get consistency when viewing the item image and the gallery image.By default the layout item.php uses   <a class="modal" ...  for showing the enlarged item image.I changed this to use <a class="sig-link highslide"  and this worked very nicely for items that also had image galleries attached.  The item image then would display in the same way that the gallery images do when enlarged and was even integrated into the slideshow presentation.However on items without an image gallery the sigpro plugin is not enabled and it will not work.Can anyone advise me how to get the sigpro plugin enabled for K2 items that DONT have an image gallery , so that it can be used to display the single K2 item image, in all items ?thankslyntonok I found a way to get this to work I inserted an empty gallery tag if one is not present already.This was enough to get sigpro to add the required functions even though there is nogallery present.So now I have the item image popup and the gallery popups using sigpro as I wanted.  :)Even better when a gallery IS present the slideshow will include the item image as well !!!In the components/com_k2/models/item.php file around line 161 
// begin hack            if ( !isset($item->gallery) ) {                $item->gallery='{gallery},{/gallery}';            }// end of hack.            $item->text=$item->gallery;            $dispatcher->trigger ( 'onPrepareContent', array (&$item, &$params, $limitstart ) );            $item->gallery=$item->text;and in the layout item.phpchanged the image poup  link to match what the gallery would generate.<a class="sig-link highslide" href="<?php echo $this->item->imageXLarge; ?>"   ....  </a>

Thanks Darell Sison, it would be great if you could figure the way out.

Darell Sison said:Hmmm, again this is a great module, except when we use the custom tag it still appears on the introtext. And a simpler solution would be just to get the k2 item image. I will investigate on how to edit the code to get the item image, after the holy week break.

Hmmm, again this is a great module, except when we use the custom tag it still appears on the introtext. And a simpler solution would be just to get the k2 item image. I will investigate on how to edit the code to get the item image, after the holy week break.

Here is options the module get images and display them in the slideshow:

1) if you use the custom tag <!-- {lofimg src="YOUR_SRC_IMAGE"} -->
2) or you put a any image in the introtext

Hi there,

I have exactly the same problem!!!

Latest version of both K2 and SH404SEF, and the suggested fix (replace %20,-,tag) has indeed been already included in the components/k2/sef_ext/com_k2.php file. It would be great if someone could shed some light on this. Why doesn't the replacement of spaces with -'s work for tags!!!

I have one further problem - which is that category will not disappear from my urls. All the settings are removed for it - so it shouldn't display.

I want to see this url... dubstep-remix.com/jeremy-kyle-dubstep-remix.html
But instead I see this.. dubstep-remix.com/dubstep/jeremy-kyle-dubstep-remix.html

(PS the issue is on my dev site, not the above live site)

i am working on a product catalogue too, and i think a "real" cross category function would be ideal.

i agree with Stephanie that multi-tag menu would help a lot

and i also agree with Nuno that a catalogue tree is important for us. For me i need to display all the sub-categories in the catalogue where a sub-cat title, a sub-cat teaser image and sub-cat description is shown to visitors. I don't think a tag menu (even multi-tag menu) can make this :) because i don't need a menu, i need a real category.

a few more words, i think Yootheme have done a good job in creating catalogue (please take a look of their Zoo extension here demo.yootheme.com/mar10/index.php?option=com_zoo&view=category&layout=category&Itemid=187 ). But i need to use K2 for the same visual effects but more flexibility, obviously.

that said, a real cross category is not just another feature. it would be the wings to K2 to become widely used catalog system.

Hello Kemler good to know it! I was just looking for info on tag list view. Do you know where to hack around if i want to create an overiding template for the tag view or user view? thanks in advance.

B Kemler said:You can change the tag layout somewhat by editing the generic.php template file. This view is used for the tag view and the author view.

I would really like to see K2 have the configurable abiity to integrate with Community Builder (CB).  I think that K2 is an amazing component, but I just had to stop using it on a site that needs Community Builder.

 

Specifically would like to see K2 integrate the following:

 

1.  Use the CB Avatars and Profile links.

 

2.  Still be able to see a list of the latest articles from an author.

 

3.  Have the option to use JComments instead of the K2 Comments, since JComments is used by CB and several other important components.  I would really like to have only one comments component running on my site.

 

4.   Provide a way to let a user add an item to K2 from the frontend, WITHOUT having to register using the K2 registration form.  Currently it's not possible to publish to K2 from the frontend when I register with the cb_login module because it doesn't populate the K2 user group.  I can manually add a user to the K2 user group and then frontend add an item works, but I don't want to have to do that.

 

I curious to know if there is anything like this in the planning stages.  I was trying my best to workaround the lack of integration between CB and K2, but I finally had to stop.  It was just too much.

 

Thanks for your willingness to consider my suggestions!

Hi,Ok... I'm sure there are loads of these requests floating about on the forum, but please humour a n00b :).I'm investigating the creation of a website for a friend for a community radio station.  There's a cool site he's seen:http://www.reachonair.com/On their tag cloud 'Show Genres', if you click on any genre you get an accordion open at that genre and the shows are given by 'date', 'title' and 'presenter'.Could I tag shows with K2 and them create some kind of accordion like this, or would it take some bespoke programming (alongside K2)?Thanks everyone.Dave.P.S.  What is the discussion extension used here?

This was the first thing I tried but unfortunately it's not working.

1. I set "Introtext HTML cleanup (tag strip)" to "Yes"
2. I entered "HTML tags not to strip in introtext" (in my case just an tag)
3. In the "Item view options in category listings" of the category I entered Introtext word limit (let say 40)

Stripped tags still don't appear.

Can someone confirm this, is this a bug or it's just my issue?

I'm using K2 v2.2 on Joomla 1.5.15.

Thanks a lot Bonne! You are right!

I overrided the item.php (by copying Joomla_Root_Directory/components/com_k2/templates/default folder to Joomla_Root_Directory/templates/My_Templates_Directory/html/com_k2/templates/) and removed the hyperlink tag. Now the lightbox is disabled.

At the moment it is OK for me to simply disable the built in lightbox. But I have noticed the modal engine called by default (media/system/css/modal.css & media/system/js/modal.js) to popup the lightbox. I don't know if there is way to override it :) though we can hack it directly.

Again thanks!

Das Problem liegt im SEO von K2 mit sh404SEF.
Schalte ich sh404SEF aus, funktionieren alle Tags.

---

The problem is the SEO of K2 with sh404SEF.
Turn off sh404SEF, I made that work all the tags.

For those of us using k2 in catalog mode it would be great to be able to add a tag Category. This way I can aggregate cross category items in a "fake" category without duplication of content and using the catalog tree.

The problem with the tag menu, other than not allowing multiple tag filtering is that the item is not in the catalog tree.

piperchick said:I think the ability to make a menu link based on more than one tag. Currently the menu will only let you add one tag. Some modules allow multiple tags, but without the menu option, the tag is of limited use but with huge potential. Thanks.

Preface:  K2 has a functionality to display items by tag.  When a site visitor selects a tag a new page loads with 'displaying items by tag: tagname' as the page title.However, this new page does not display the line 'displaying items by tag: taganem' in content, unless the previous (primary) page has the Joomla! menu item parameter set with page title to 'on'.Thus, it is possible to arrive at a page where the user / visitor has no information in content about what they are looking at (other than the breadcrumbs and browser page title).Is there a Fix?There should be a way to print out the K2-tag page title without the Joomla! page title being set to 'on' in the corresponding menu item's parameters.Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this?Thanks,HC

I followed the steps outlined here:http://k2joom.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=283:75-shopping-cart-in-k2just that when I go to create a new item and go into "section" Extra fields gives me this message:Please select a category first to retrieve its related "Extra Fields" ...and in fact if I go in Extra Field Groups is the field that I created (Dettaglio prodotto) but underneath Assigned categories is empty ... where am I wrong?Thank you very muchstefano

Suggestions for updating language files:

In comparence with the previous release the order of the language strings in language files was mixed up. This makes it very hard for translations to get the changes in languagefiles. I almost had to tranlate it al over again. Also in previous release the strings were alphabetical ordered, which makes it easier to find a certain string. I would prefer to restore the alphabetical order and keep that in next releases.

Also there are many language strings for the backend and the frontend language files the same.
My suggestion would be to use 1 languagefile wich is installed on both admin and site languagefolders.

I'm attaching a language bug txt file, some code might not show properly here

TIA

Hey everyone,I'm really grateful K2 takes advantage of the MVC override system - but I seem to have run into a bump in the road with my template development. On the current site I am working on, it will have several blogs and a product listing area. Within the product listing area, they wanted filter capabilities (and since community.getk2.org/forum/topics/k2-extra-fields-filter-and?page=7&commentId=3536014%3AComment%3A46127&x=1#3536014Comment46127does not seem to be working properly with K2 V2.2 - I've been forced to use tags with a very 'hacky' but working solution. My issue is the generic.php file. That seems like while still override-able, you cannot change the view of this per template. I need my product listing... tag listing (sorry ha) to be in one format - and then a different one for the blog sections throughout the site. Is there a way to create a separate one per template? I guess I understand since tags can be mapped to any item this might be a little tougher... just trying to figure out the best solution. Thanks!
