Well in fairness I posted the original question on the 8th of Feb and nobody at all responded. Ive stated before that K2 is a superb product, but even the best product in the world is useless if the support isn't there to give people the confidence to use it.

Can you give me any assistance in how I might do this please?

K2Joom said:Chris, great to see your a positive as ever ;)Yes, it would be possible, with a modification to the K2 tag module.

Chris, great to see your a positive as ever ;)

Yes, it would be possible, with a modification to the K2 tag module.

Well it seems the level of support and help provided here is just as shit as it was to start with.

Roll on Joomla 1.6 so I can roll off K2.

Hi,I found a bug in K2. I created few content and assigned some tags to it. When i searched for the content using tags i get the following error.Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /opt/lampp/htdocs/projects/website/plugins/search/k2.php on line 142Actually the problem occurs only when "Enable searching in tags" is turned to YES in "K2 - search" plugin. Please let me know how to proceed on this further.Thanks,John

I'm having exactly the same problem. Any solutions yet?

No k2 results on normal mode, and this errorwith debug ON

JDatabaseMySQL::query: 1210 - Incorrect arguments to MATCH SQL=SELECT i.title AS title, i.metadesc, i.metakey, c.name as section, i.image_caption, i.image_credits, i.video_caption, i.video_credits, i.extra_fields_search, tags.name as tag, i.created, CONCAT(i.introtext, i.fulltext) AS text, CASE WHEN CHAR_LENGTH(i.alias) THEN CONCAT_WS(':', i.id, i.alias) ELSE i.id END as slug, CASE WHEN CHAR_LENGTH(c.alias) THEN CONCAT_WS(':', c.id, c.alias) ELSE c.id END as catslug FROM jos_k2_items AS i INNER JOIN jos_k2_categories AS c ON c.id=i.catid AND c.access <= 18 LEFT JOIN jos_k2_tags_xref tags_xref ON tags_xref.itemID = i.id LEFT JOIN jos_k2_tags tags ON tags.id = tags_xref.tagID WHERE MATCH(i.title, i.introtext, i.`fulltext`,tags.name,i.extra_fields_search,i.image_caption,i.image_credits,i.video_caption,i.video_credits,i.metadesc,i.metakey) AGAINST ('clara') AND i.trash = 0 AND i.published = 1 AND i.access <= 1 AND c.published = 1 AND c.access <= 1 AND c.trash = 0 GROUP BY i.id ORDER BY i.created DESC LIMIT 0, 50

Would you be able to supply me with a sample snioppet so I can compare and see how your looks.. I am new to PHP so would liek to learn more on how you did this.

Thanks

BBC said:I fixed my problems with Safari and Chrome browsers. Renamed all

<.....br class="clr"/.......>

to

<....div class="clr"....><.../div....>
(don´t forget closing tags)
And it is now working perfectly in all browsers. The same spacing in millimeter.

When i removed some (or all)
<....br class="clr"/....>
i still needed to make a lot of styling and tweaking in css file to get same results in all browsers.

This way i had not to do this. It is perfect as it is in all browsers, and absolutely same results.

This forum is stupid. Just remove all these dots up there. Forum wont allow to put this as it is.

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.

When I want to make a link on Facebook to a K2 article it doesn't give me the options to choose a related thumb. It shows me other images like ads and other things that are not really a part of the story, but do exist on my site.

What I want and need to do is be able to choose an image from the gallery to show as a Facebook thumb.

The only workaround I can think of for making this work is to add an images together in the text in the usual way from the editor image button and not using the "Image" or the "Image Gallery" tags.


Thanks for any help you can throw at me...

Using Joomla 1.5.15 with K2 v2.2 and SIG Pro 2.0.4

Thanks! That was going to be my next question lol. I noticed it does the same thing for tags depending on what page placement they are shown in as well.
If you had time to tell me what codes to change, I'd really appreciate it.

I really like how K2 works but still trying to figure a lot out. I didn't have problems adding mods and changing things in joomla. Unfortunately many mods to display content don't work with K2 yet...

Let me know if that makes sense or if you need extra help with that.

Hello dude
Thanks a lot for your replies it helps me a lot but I need to upload the images again. K2 can,t re-size it instantly. I want to show latest articles in a module in frontage with thumbnail images and title like joomla,s built in latest news module but not vertically I want it horizontally
Thanks

K2Joom said:Hi Ashfaqur,
There is no option to add a text limit to the Title.
Image resizing is taken care in several ways. K2 params contains all the default sizes. Per Category, sizes can over ride this, with individual items can also over ride further.
Alignment of images would have to be done using css for catItemImage, subCategoryImage etc.

With regards to the k2_content display to be horizontal, do you mean in columns?
Perhaps you should be looking at how the category, and /or sub category is setup to display this for you.

Hope this helps, look forward to your reply.

Ok, I have spent the morning getting to know the interface and reading the getting started. I know K2 is going to be able to help out. I wondered if you could help answer this question I posted on the main J! forum last week (apologies for all of the capitals)
**************************************Hi,I have [stupidly] gone down the route of developing a directory site where bya) SECTIONS: are the ORGANISATION nameb) CATEGORIES: are the styles of CONTENT they post (news, events, their main page)c) A large accordion menu exists that allows you to search on an A-Z basis for the type of SERVICE, then this is the sub menus open up to allow you to search by LOCATIONI did a) and b) so I could implement Access Control (before I knew about the access control of K2 :-)), and it works very well, as each advertisor/registered user can only edit their own pages.But, I would like to get a nice simple A-Z, or an easy way to search, that returns results based on TYPE of service or LOCATION (which would be more user friendly than a TALL menu structure)***********************************

Now this morning I have managed to pop a LOCATION category above what was a ORGANISATION section pre-K2, which is great.

I think the best question to ask, is how can I replicate the A-Z menu structure found on the LHS side of my site, themeonvalley.net? I think it is going to be possible to have:

SERVICE (k2 root cat)
>>>LOCATION (k2)
>>>>>>ORGANISATION (existing sections)
>>>>>>>>>CONTENT? (existing categories)

How do extra fields and extra field groups fit in with my plans. I can't get my head round these at all, ie how you leverage them in modules etc. The tagging is great!

Thanks..

Hi, I'm new to K2 and am trying to figure it out. I use JoomFish and have been able to translate items. Problem is that when I press the JoomFish language-tag the display of the items changes all together. How is this possible? Does not the category settings come automatically from the original language settings? I cant see any category settings in Joomfish and can't figure out how this is possible. How can I make the category views the same in all languages?Appreciate any advise you can give me! Thanks!Amy

Hi,I really would like to add meta data information from the frontend.Does Anybody know how to achieve that?I was able to display the Meta data tab by going to:/component/com_k2/views/item/tmpl/form.php and remove the comment tags from around the metadata part of the form. But the tab is not collapsible, thus can't enter any data in description and keywords fields.Can anyone please help on this issue, I think the metadata information is extremely important from front-end editing.I will appreciate any help.Thanks.
