Tabs do not work. And the content of the tabs are spread down the page so I have a very long page with all that should have been on tabs. Also, the block on the right side is now very far down on the page.

There is another indication of something wrong - the box for entering tags has suddenly got a bulletpoint in front of it and is not aligned with the other boxes. Can this be what causes the problems downwards? Here is the screenshot:




I hope this is just a typo somewhere that is easy to fix so we can get a new SVN tomorrow to test.

after Update the Site I get no Item listet on Startpage.

It is set with K2 Menu by Category:
index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&layout=category
- if I select just one Category
- if I mark minimum two it shows

Also, all my mod_content Modules are empty

All other Menus works fine and I can get the Items Display after drop a Tag or the link in the Comments.

someone an idea ?

thx

Glad you are finding a useful addition to the superb K2 component.

Thank you so much, I have been looking for something like this all night. Actually I have found some such extension for Joomla article, but not for K2.

Since it is not possible to assign an article to more than one catogory in Joomla and K2, I am thinking of using tag or key word to produce another album from exsiting categories.

Good job!

Can anyone help me or guide me as to how I can keep these links from being indexed:

?tmpl=component&print=1

Google is not giving my page results because it's claiming duplicate title entries.

Hi Christina,

Yes you can remove this code or change it.

You might also want to consider copying the default K2 theme to create your own sub theme for different categories.

Anyway, you need to modify the category.php file which is found in components/com_k2/templates/default.

For the Page Title, look around line 22:
params->get('pageclass_sfx')?>">

Remove/modify the second line.

For the Children Categories, remove/modify this line .
{h3} div class="itemListSubCategories">{/h3}

The code you need to modify is between the H3 tags.

I was adding tags in the administrator section of k2, then all of a sudden it just stopped working from the front end.

You can see the error at www.magentoweb.com

I have no idea why it just stopped working. You can see the error when you click on magento sites directory and then the arts category or the books category.

As soon as i add articles to the category the category wont show up and gives error 404?

Hope you can help.

Hi!

I have modules in certain positions assigned to a K2 category menu.
If I click on one of the tags in the tag cloud module, all the modules (accept those who are assigned to all the pages) in these positions dissapear.

How can this be solved?

You can use any standard Joomla template, K2 has it's own in built theme that is easy to adjust to match the main site theme. You can also create additional K2 themes for use within the same site as there is a theme selector per category.

I just used a standard theme on my K2 dev site K2Joom and tweaked the K2 css.
K2 can be overridden as well as an option.

I certainly know that Rocket Theme supports K2 on some of it's themes, Moxy and Nexus.
There are some more, but I don't have access to my list at this stage, but will add it to my site soon.


Nicholas Steblay said:Do most users create custom templates in conjunction with the use of K2? Are some of the template vendors like RocketTheme, Joomlashack or others planning on leveraging K2?

OK If I am understanding this correctly, K2 provides a mechanism to extend meta-data concerning Joomla content for purely organizational purposes and/or to drive custom/automated/programmatic/data driven templates. It extends Joomla by using unlimited hierarchical categorization, cross-cutting tag identifiers, and configurable meta-data fields with grouping, all within the context of a security model based on groups, users, and associated categories. There is the added bonus of being able to manage interactive comments received from the implemented templates.

Am I close?

I did find where to download, but i was mistaken and i am currently using K2 tools to list the author names, but there are a few authors I do not want listed, how would i go about hiding some of the authors?

Hi,

We've modified JoomlaWorks fantastic K2 Content Module and added the ability to filter items by tag. K2 tags are shown in a list and can be selected. This allows for modules pulling selected content from multiple categories.

There seemed to be a few people offering this but we couldn't find one that suited our exact needs so we modded the standard module to work the way we wanted it. I'm sure the guys will include this anyway in the next version but here it is for those that want it now.

I think I missed somethin... it doesn't work for me...

Dave Marshall said:For those of you wanting to add Disqus.com comments to your K2 it is very easy to implement. After registering and setting up your disqus account you will have two sets of code from disqus. I can not post them here because they are unique to your URL. The first line of code supplied by Disqus which is after this line in the install instructions: 1. Copy and paste the following embed code anywhere into your page.

Copy the code and add it to add to your: components/com_k2/templates/default/item.php
and add the code at around line 576 just before the "div class="clr" tag.

Now you need the JavaScript code from Disqus which is right after this line in the install instructions:

2. Copy the following comment count code and paste it right before the closing "/body" tag.

Add this code to your templates index.php right before the "/body" tag.

Now go to the K2 administration and turn off commenting in the parameters and save. You also need to turn off commenting anchors in the category settings. That's it, you should now have Disqus working with K2. If you want to have a "Recent Comments", "Popular Comments", "Top Commenters" or a combination of all three together, just go to your Disqus account, select the tools tab and set up which selection you need. Now copy the code and add it to a new module of type "Custom HTML". You now have a recent comment mod. Hope this helps someone!

Cheers
Dave

I had the same issue. Your code alteration works. Thanks a lot.

instead of
$query = "SELECT t.name FROM #__k2_tags as t";

should be
$query = "SELECT t.name, t.id FROM #__k2_tags as t";

I know another topis about this. I searched but I could find a working answer to my problem.  The image gallry works fine when I manual upload them to the image folder.  I would like to take advantage of the K2 image gallery feature though.  I do not know how to check or change the cache to 777 I could not find any help either.  that is the only left to try I guess.  Nothing happens when I upload the zip file.

I created a new K2 catagory menu item within my main menu and I called it home. I then made it the default home page.
The reason my original homepage wasn't working before, at least to my understanding, is because it is not a part of the K2 core functionality, and K2 is not a part of the Joomla core functionality. I am not sure how newbie you are but I included some screenshots in succession to show you how I did it just in case my explanations are not good enough.

If it is still unclear I would gladly explain more.

generic.php only controls the tag view and the user view. This post about creating custom templates in k2 may be helpful... k2community.joomlaworks.gr/notes/Templating_in_K2

Unfortunately it's not working they way I want it to. I know that isn't the best way to solve the problem. Can anybody help or give my an advice to solve this problem in a better way!

Thanks.
