Hi, I've just installed K2 (in two different sites!) and in both of them I get a blank page when I try to access "Add New Item"  (option=com_k2&view=item) from the backend. I'm really puzzled, can you help me? I've added categories, tags, user groups and everything... Only this page does not work.Thanks and regards

Hi. The queries you posted are from the K2 component search not the K2 search plugin. The queries are fine. Maybe providing a link to your site will help us see what's wrong.

K2Joom,, many thanks
Just want to be sure..
Images inserted via Core Joomla "insert image" button always not shown when applying the ( intro-short-word-filter) while using mod_k2_content..
Is This "Content Clean Up" options handy, If i enter "img,.." at tag area?
Thank you Simon

Lance, your sample code has been canceled, please try to insert it again

Lance said:For everyone still looking for a solution to the extra break tags in your content K2 Content module (K2 v2.2), simply open:
modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl/Default/default.php

in a text editor or Dreamweaver, etc and search forand replace it withSave the file and upload it over the existing file.

Each category will display its own RSS feed for it and any other sub category within it.

What I believe is being suggested is this, set up categories as follows:

(SORRY FORMATTING STRIPPED BELOW)
HOME CAT
Sub Cat1
Sub Cat1a
Sub Cat1b
Sub Cat1c
Sub Cat2
Sub Cat2a
Sub Cat2b
Sub Cat2c
Sub Cat3
Sub Cat3a
Sub Cat3a1
Sub Cat3a2
Sub Cat3b
Sub Cat3c
etc, etc.

The HomeCat will display RSS for ALL sub cats within it
SubCat1 will display RSS forall of its own sub cats 1a, 1b, 1c but not 2 or 3
This continues for the others cats.

As of V2.2, there is NO single item RSS feed, as yet.
The file structure only allows for catFeedLayout, but I have clients and there are others that would really like to have individual item RSS feeds to.

Any ideas anyone?

Regards,

Simon



FidelGonzales said:If you do not have one already, create a category that contains all the K2 categories you want in the primary feed, then link it to your main menu. Make that menu item your default menu. Alwin said:In my case the RSS has to pull all the articles from K2 and display it as the default feed. I mean when the user clicks on the feed links in the adress bar he has to get his feed. Also I am sorry but I haven't got what you mean mean by "Just make a K2 category your "home" page ;)" . Could anyone please explain it ?


I would like to either hard code or see an option to add additional feeds into the home page URL as a dropdown. Is there such a plugin or module? This way, when someone is on the main page and selects the RSS button, such as the case on many large sites, they have the dropdown option to select sub-categories, authors, tags, forums, comments and the like.

Is there anything such as this or any hard coded method we ought consider?

Hi Lefteris

How do you fix this before the next release?

Thanks

Lefteris Kavadas said:Hi. You are completely right. Fixed for the next release. Thanks for reporting this issue to us.

Feel free to look at this site... I have it on the homepage... check the difference between the code on mine and yours

www.minicassiachamber.com

I went into the module code and replaced the BR clear tags with div clear tags.

Nein, das habe ich nicht gut erklärt, ich versuche es nochmal.

Wenn Du Dir diesen Link anschaust, www.suchmaschinen-optimierung-seo.info/sosblog - dann siehst Du z.B. oben "*Google Buzz - der Twitter-Killer?" den Text, darunter das Datum, Kommentare usw. und dann den nächsten Text. Das ist der Content, den ich meine. Auf meiner Seite habe ich linke die Navi und rechts den Login, ein paar Kommentare, Kalender und TagCloud. Den freien Bereich Bereich dazwischen (*) den meine ich mit "Body" dort sollten mein Content zu sehen sein, den ein Besucher sieht, wenn er den Blog aufruft.

Falls es gar nicht zu verstehen ist, gebe ich Dir einen Link zu meiner Site

viele Grüße und vielen Dank

Hi Simon, thanks for your reply.
I believe it's a high priority as-well as meta data entry for frontend editing is certainly a must and I see many people are asking for it.
One of the great things about this component is the easy way users can submit articles/blogs, but it must be SEO optimized.
Please take a look at it as soon as you can. I will move this post to bug report as-well.
BTW, when is next version with the bug fixes supposed to come out? hopefully very soon...
Thanks again.

K2Joom said:I just took a look into this issue and can replicate it.
It looks to me that this can be resolved as I suspect some of the right side bar features have been disabled in the front side view. At this stage, I do not know why, but there is probably a reason why this was done this way.

I would be happy to take a look, but at the moment I am spending time to fix some other core issues with higher priority.

Either log this in the Bug Report forum, or pop over to K2Joom.com and post a request in the forums. That way I will have a record to look at it soon.

Which version of K2 are you running?

Pomba said:I find that very wierd. I have the exact same as your screenshot - minus the Tag-searching-opinion. =o
K2Joom said:Here is a screen shot of my K2 Search Plugin

Pomba said:

At the K2 Search Plugin I can only find "Search Limit" (50) - no other parameters?

Hi, I want search plugin to work with "Enable searching in tags"

Lefteris Kavadas said:Hi. OK found the bug. Go to K2 search plugin and set "Enable searching in tags" to "No". This way search will work again. This parameter will be removed from the plugin. Thank you all for reporting this issue to us.

I ran a test at K2Joom.com with Enable searching in tags to YES.

My page: Project E-Store Part 2 has tags in it.
I then search using keywords such as part 2 and it finds the item.

It would also be great to know how to set the page correctly when no results are found.
For example a search at K2Koom.com for K2_content shows no result, but also not any header to say Search produced no results. Where can I modify that?

Thanks.



I then set searching in tags to NO.
Clear cache
Search the same words and the item is still displayed.

Seems to have no effect for me.

Hi. Anyone having problem with the latest K2 search plugin please read this.

Unfortunately Twitter does not benefit your SEO as they are using nofollow tags in all outbound link which lead to other websites.

FidelGonzales said:The page no longer exists upon Joomla Extensions Page. What's the scoop?
Also, if you hard code AddThis or use a similarly functioning plugin upon your K2 or Joomla template, you may simply post the page by manually clicking the link. One benefit of performing this manually is that you have greater control over hash tags, which are good for helping people finding the Tweet as well as SEO.

Ulli Storck said:Of course Twitterfeed is a good thing. But AutoTweet does something different and can also post things when thy are not appearing in an rss feed. Also AutoTweet gives you more control over what is posted... Test the free version and make your own decission.

I'm using:

Joomla 1.5.15
MySQL 5.1.30
PHP 5.2.9
Apache 2.2.11

Hi Chris,

I will add it to the ever growing list at k2Joom, but I at the moment I am trying to resolve some bugs ahead of all other feature requests.

I would start off looking at the K2 Content module as that already has the code in it that you need in terms of retrieving data and allowing you to select categoris from within the new module.
You would need to copy code from the K2 Content xml and most likely the files in tmpl folder.
The xml is containing the information on what is displayed within the module.

Once I get my hands on the code, it will be a little easier, as there are snippets of common code being used.
