Here is some information, might be useful.

The Tagged Under layout which appears in the item layout is controlled from the user.php, starting from line 196 (userItemTagsBlock)
The same thing but appearing in category view is controlled by default/category_item.php, line 185. (catItemTagsBlock)
There is also same settings in default/item.php and default/latest_item.php, lines 329 & 103 (itemTagsBlock) & (latestItemTagsBlock)

Overall css styling is done by k2.css file.

Remeber you can use micro theming too, I use this on K2Joom.com and it replicates the layout.

I agree that ideally, this would be much better to NOT show the complete item, but instead maybe the introtext and/or image.
This should be easy to adjust, I have marked this as a "feature request" to myself to look into.

Yes, same issue for me too. Since the beginning of K2 the Layout & view options for Search, Tag & Date listings are poor.

How can I explain to a client that if someone clicks on a tag, the layout is lost!
No columns, no video, no comments etc !!!!!

I agree. I came to Joomla/K2 from the Wordpress world. A common blogging style is to use 10-15 images for your post. It's just not feasible to upload that many images everyday to your host, on top of all the images you have to store to support themes, etc.

I used a plug-in on WP that allowed me to imbed pictures from my Flickr site very easily. A typical workflow would go like this:
Open up new post(Item in K2), Title, then pull up plugin for Flickr. I made a "set" on Flickr for every blog post. So I'd filter on that set, select the lead image. Write a catchy intro, drop a "read more", then move into meat of article. Write a few sentences, insert photo, a few sentences, photo, until article concludes.

This is a very common style for many bloggers. And it takes advantage of Flickr for storage, as images are only called as page is called up.

The ability to store images offsite, but quickly browse and insert would make K2 even more awesome. Thanks for a great product!

Hi. You are using SH404SEF so i think it has to do with this extension. Are you having any problems when using the native Joomla SEF mechanism?

which file supplies this URL: index.php?option=com_k2&lang=tr&tag=güzellik yarı�ması&task=tag&view=itemlist

Locate please! If I found the file that supplies this URL, I can change the codes with str_replace function.

Well, the big one is I installed K2, have everything working great - except I can't add tags.  I have tags in my list, and whether I pick them from the list and click add, or turn on the ability to create tags on the fly, either way - no tags in my items.  What could I be doing wrong?Also, when I go to edit something on the front end, clicking save or cancel doesn't route me anywhere - I'm just stuck on the editing page - what's up with that?Thanks for your help gang!

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.

Thank you but but my problem isn't about space character or "+" character.

This solution was posted somewhere here in the forum:

In file components\com_k2\sef_ext\com_k2.php around line 140 search for this code:

case 'tag':
$title[] = 'tag';
$title[] = $tag;
break;

and replace it with this code:

case 'tag':
$tag=str_replace('%20','-',$tag);
$tag=str_replace('+','-',$tag);
$title[] = $tag;
break;

The charachter "ü" is being turned to "c3bc" instead of "u".  "u" is Unicode Char, "c3bc" is UTF-8 Bytes char. Language char set of my site is UTF-8, but I am having URL SEF problem with k2 component tagging. CONVERSION CHART can be found here. While I am searching the source of proplem, I saw that something is wrong in sh404sef component. URL's which contain non-english charchters seems wrong:Example: index.php?option=com_k2&lang=tr&tag=Amerika güzellik yarıÅBut I checked the mysql Database. Tags seem correct in the MYSQL: in MYSQL: Amerika güzellik yarışmasıin SH404SEF (in admin): index.php?option=com_k2&lang=tr&tag=Amerika güzellik yarıÅwhat's the solution?

@Troponin,

Yes, i've seen this feature :-) and i'm searching some workarounds to :

- not process strings in html tags
- only process words and not part of words

Olivier

okay, first Report.

Works fine, there are just two things I found, before I go to the Birthday Party of my Brother.

If you have set a Tag called "K2" the link is broken- imho cause of the {K2Splitter} - ther should be a Placeholder, which will never be used as a TAG.

The Second is : If a Tag is called "Web" and the Word is Webslinger or Webdesign. It links to Webdesign and Webslinger.

I dont know what would be the best practice - use non-link in this example or link the full Word.

Attached a Screen.

In the End, like ever, nice work Olivier.

greets

uahahahaha .... i'll try it, i'll try it.

All my live I waited for this ;)

thx Olivier

Hi,
Here's a beta version of a k2 plugin that searches k2 tags in the item text and adds a link to them.

Exemple :
-Your k2 published tags : k2, tech, my tag
-item text : A string that contains k2 tag and my tag
- new item text : A string that contains <a href="link_to_k2_tag">k2</a> tag and <a href="link_to_mytag_tag">my tag</a>

This plugin works actually in the item view.

TODO :
-Add params to select where the plugin takes effect
-Add a test to check if the k2 tag string is not in a html tag :
<a href="...." title="a string with a k2 tag">a string</a> should not be processed.

First,sorry for my bad english. You should add online testing features into k2. The users can create tests and publish them just like the articles. Also the tests can have features like "the hardest test ( the most difficult)"Also the number of tests..Also most easyest testshardharderthe most hardestAgain,sorry for my bad english. If you decide to develop something like that, i can suggest you a lot more features. If you want mail me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

First of all I need help to upgrade a older K2 version to the new one but how can I now what is the old version I installed last year 

Second I have the Simple Image Gallery Plugin enabled but in the K2 information tab it shows Simple Image Gallery Plugin Not installed what about

And now my big problem Is there a way to sort items by tags
I have 360 items added in 28 alphabetical categories and 85 tags - how to sort items by tags?
I created the tags and now I want to put them in alphabetical order but I find no way to do that Is this possible or I have to start again the work
Should I make new 85 categories? but how to ad already created items to new categories that I should create - may a item belong to several categories?

Please help - thanks

I see you resolved this issue. What was the fix?

Zach Weinman said:I'm also experiencing this problem, I don't know CSS, but I tried commenting out all link decoration tags (lines 55 - 63) in ja_purity/css/template.css.Can anyone help me with this?Example:http://www.bmwmotorcyclebattery.com/index.php?option=com_k2&vie...

Yes, Fotis (or any other) it would be nice to have an alternative module to the current K2 content, which goes crazy when viewed in chrome and safari (maybe due to its multiple br tags?).
Have you got a schedule already?
Please, let us know...

In one of my installations of K2 I have a tag list.  I really like this feature, and would like to use it on my other K2 installations, but I don't know which file to copy?  Come to think of it, I am not sure where I got this.  Is the the 2.2 pre-release?I have attached a screen shot so that you can see what I am trying to re-create.

tag selection wont work aswell. SIG issue, because as soon as you unpublish sigpro plugin everything goes back to normal functionality.

Its known there is some conflicts between sig and k2, so we should wait for new updates of these plugins or fixed by ourselves.

I noticed that when I create an instance of mod_k2_tools using the Tag  Cloud option and add a suffix to the module, the new module has a space between the class and the suffix. Other modules when you add the suffix you have class_suffix but in this case it was creating something like class _suffix.
The issue is apparently on line 15 of the tags.php template:
Where:
class="k2TagCloudBlock <?php echo $params->get('moduleclass_sfx'); ?>"
Should be:
class="k2TagCloudBlock<?php echo $params->get('moduleclass_sfx'); ?>"

The resulting class with the extra space causes the class to be seen as two separate classes instead of one. I am not sure if this is intentional as all the other templates for mod_k2_tools have the same extra space... In any case, I created an override for this and it works for me. 

HTH,

Flavia
