Thank you very much!
I added an article and added {gallery}a foldername{/gallery}. I uploaded six images. They all came out fine!

I do not however understand the function of editor tags Image and Image Gallery but I'll play around with this now as I know the basics of it.

Thanks again
Gorm
PS I'll probably be back,,,,,

I am trying to learn how to use KR. The image part seems either to be not ready or not working. I can insert images using the jce Editor but there is an Image tag (encl 1) and a Gallery tag (encl. 2). It is possible to browse fpr images to add but the what. There are no upload button or a function to isert the images.

I have read that it should be possible to a a set of photos to an article which then should be possible to browse through by the web visitor.

I need a hint to understand this or an advice to whereI can get information on how to do.

Hi there,
I use japurity ii and the bullets were destructing me for a while. adding the following to the template.css of japurity ii solved my issues.
/* K2

---

Added to remove the bullets from the k2 items in japurity ii*/

div.k2ItemsBlock ul li,
div.itemToolbar ul li {background-image:none;}

HomesteadMommy said:I'm having the same problem on my site as well. Every where there are tags, avatars etc. a bullet icon shows up behind them. www.homestead-acres.com
I found the css for the bullets, but I would rather rename it instead of commenting it out so it can still be used in posts.

.Post ul li, .Post ol ul li {
background-image:url("../images/PostBullets.png");
background-repeat:no-repeat;
padding-left:16px;
}

If someone could help me figure out how to fix this and keep the bullets working, would be much appreciated!

K2Joom said:Yes, that is a downside, but I think you can manage by renaming the css class in you main template.

Started out with 1 mod_k2_tools module to display tag cloud on home page:http://www.clmitchell.net/Appropriately, the tag cloud displays the top 40 tags from across the entire site.Then it HIT me: why not have a unique tag cloud for each main "section" of the site!?!so I created an experimental 2nd mod_k2_tools module for a tag cloud specific to the Oasis categories:http://www.clmitchell.net/main-oasis129.html...problem is: the module refuses to display the tags from the Oasis categories ONLY.What am I missing? Thanks for the help!P.S. i created the 2nd module by copying the 1st module.

I don't think sh404SEF has any effect on the titles of K2... If you see the templates, we use by default the proper h2, h3 (and so on) tags, as part of K2's SEO-friendly approach. ;)

Hello,
I've been using k2 for a couple of days now, and it's been awesome. I've just noticed some glitches here and there–one of them being the Tags and SEF issue. If anyone wants to lend me a hand with that, click here 

Anyway, here's another little glitch I've noticed. Let's take these two articles from my website...

Gaming Article
Photography Article

Now, my problem is this...

In the "Gaming Article", when you click to preview the image, the image will popup up onto the center of the browser–how cool! But in the "Photography Article", if you click the top image, it opens in another page...

Now, now, it's nothing that I'll go crazy over, but it is inconsistent. The only thing I can offer is that with the "Gaming Article", I uploaded the photo straight from my hard drive, while the "Photography Article", I uploaded that photo from my web server (host).

If there's a fix, or anything that I can do, let me know.

Otherwise, thanks for reading!

Hello everyone,
I've seen a couple of discussions on this, but none have been able to shed light onto what possibly might be causing my issue. It's practically the same, but let me specify;
I've just installed k2 and it works beautifully! Since I am running a personal blogging website, I decided that I also wanted to install sh404SEF.

First problem was that I couldn't enable sh404SEF to work. But it was solved by installing JCE editor, overriding usage of the Tiny MCE editor. Hooray!

So now everything was just pretty, until I noticed that tags were a bust–if you clicked at least a two word (or more) tag, it gives me a 404 error because the url reads as "website.com/tags/two%20words" which is a no no with SEF.

I then noticed despite that, everything else had the replacement dashes, i.e categories. Only "tags" lacked this replacement dash (whether it's tags in the cloud tag, or tags in the item/article itself).

I checked my com_k2.php and it has the updated fix (I installed latest versions for both k2 and SEF) and it's all there. I even copied and pasted this .php file into com_sh404SEF/sef_ext/. Still, the tags refuse to rid themselves of the "%20". I know this is fixed because the first website I found with a solution had a tag cloud that had dashes in place of spaces when clicked! So I must be missing something...

The funny thing is that if I do try and click on a two word cloud, it will jump me to the 404 error page and "suggest" other tags. These other tags don't have spaces, but rather + signs! Which work. (see attachment!)

if anyone can point any little trick or an idea to try, I'd love to tackle it. My brain's a little fried.

Thanks.

Michelle.

Hello K2 Community..Anyone try to hack mod_k2_tools, or build new one to make an advanced search module that has fields to retrive info from different area like categories, items, extrafeilds, tags..etc.Example here.I am looking for this. Any suggestion?

Hi Guys,

I have seen this before with some templates.
Sorry, I did find a fix but thought it was special to me due to the large number of K2 and Templates that were linked, but I cant remember how I solved this, but it is possible.

It should be possible to take css from your joomla template and get k2 template to overide it.
Do you have any overide statements in your css?

May be the k2 category css file is not loaded or there's a mismatch in it.

GreenDome said:Hi Olivier, Slight different question but related to this plugin, hope you can help:

Currently K2 is using the template_css.css for h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 tags but how do i override these tags for one css per k2 template files?

I added the new css stuff to mytmpl_style.css for example but the override didn't work. So K2 is still picking up the css values from template_css.css file.

Thank you in advance.

How to get articles made in k2 to show on front page without displaying items as modules.
You have to make the first item on your Main Menu a K2 itemlist using category or tag. You must also remember to make it the default for that menu (select the check box next to the menu item and click the yellow star on the top right side that says "Default")

How to set add set up extra fields on the registration form...
The Extra fields are for use in articles, not for an extended user registration... but I think that would be a nice idea.

Is there any where here i can find some nice reading about how to do things in K2 ?
One of the forum regulars has started documentation about K2. You can find it on his web site at k2joom.com

This should keep you busy for a while. Good luck!

One other suggestion, it is going to be requsted, is a tax setting to be added to the plugin parameters.
The next stage is going to be adding in shipping, that could be quite complex depending on the shipping types available, flat rates, shipping reductions etc.

Something for the furture maybe.

I have traditionally used sh404SEF as my default SEF extension for Joomla.I've noticed on my first K2 site that the H1 tags are not displaying where approporiate.  I have the site header in a H1 and then in sh404SEF I have the box ticked to show all titles as H1 as well and also have the box ticked about multiple H1s on the page.  This works fine in Joomla itself, but in K2, it is converting the Item Titles to H2 even though I've told it not to.Not sure if this is a bug with K2 or with sh404SEF.Some advice here would be appreciated.Cheers,

After some documentation reading, i've installed K2 with JCE, exactly from the steps in de documentations.
If i make the articles in de administration screen (K2 directly), it's good, but is some else maken a articel from the frontpage, the is the editor viewing, but no catagories, the articles are placed in joomla, not in K2.
What i doing worng.

Sorry for my bad english, i'm dutch.

Hi,I want to display the category list, archive list and tag cloud module in the user's template (and only that). As I don't have a menu item for the user's page, I cannot assign a different template, so I want to include it in my user.php .Is this possible and if so, how?Roland

Whoa, I've just checked back on the site and can see the enormous div heights that are causing the redonculous amount of white space between sub-cats. Looks like k2 appends heights to the sub category divs so that they are all the same height. I have default template, hardly any descriptive text and most of the options turned off for category display page, and h2 sets my div height to 317px.

... OK I've figured it out. It's to do with your description text for the categories. K2 will load all the categories, look for the category with the biggest height, then append that same height to all of the category divs regardless of how much content they have. I assume this is so that if your category div has a border or background colour, then all the category divs would display the same height to look nice. Doesn't look so nice on your site at the moment though!

Reduce the description text or add a "read more" tag on your categories and you'll fix one of your problems.

I was able to create a new K2 template and insert:

echo substr($subCategory->description, 0, 200) . '...'

where the description would go (inside the if statement which decides whether to even implement it) - but it'd be great if this was dependent more on the Joomla! readmore tag than the 200 limit I have now. Thanks!

I recently did some hack-ish modification of my k2 template and wanted to get some feedback.  I wanted to include a slide from the module "tabs and slides" from joomlaworks inside of my k2 items.  This way I could include an image gallery within a slide on the item view page and not have a bunch of thumbnails unless someone open the slide.  I am using simple image gallery pro in the items, and wanted to make it easy for my client to utilize the built in gallery upload within k2, but have it end up inside a slide.  In order to do this I downloaded and installed the tabs and slides module and proceeded to break it apart to use within the k2 template. I then added the necessary code to the item.php file within my k2 template overrides, within my js_inspirion template. 1)  I had to add the necessary javascript and css files so at the top of item.php, underneath the //no direct access line,  I placed &lt;?php/** * @version        $Id: item.php 303 2010-01-07 02:56:33Z joomlaworks $ * @package        K2 * @author    JoomlaWorks www.joomlaworks.gr * @copyright    Copyright (c) 2006 - 2010 JoomlaWorks Ltd.

I can't help but feel that I have made this more difficult than it needed to be, but I have learned a lot about the power of k2 in the process.   Would love some feedback.  It's on a local server and won't run it live for a few days unless someone is really interested in seeing it.
