Actually it's NOT ok - Google is not displaying my website because of the duplicate content created by this:

?tmpl=component&print=1

Is this part of Joomla or is it coming from K2??

Google is reporting that my site's K2 is creating duplicate title tags and duplicate meta tags,

Here is an example -
bearing.us.com/products/item/19-cylindrical-roller-bearings.html
bearing.us.com/products/item/19-cylindrical-roller-bearings.html?tmpl=component&print=1

I'm not 100% sure this is a bug but if there is a way to fix this, please let me know!

Thanks!

I think you misunderstood what we're saying. We're not saying that the feeds lack images that have been inserted into the Intro Text or Full Text. We're saying that they lack the Item Images that have been uploaded for them. The fix I posted inserts the Item Image at the very beginning of the Intro Text.

Ksenya said:it works by default. Just go to Parameters. Than check "Introtext cleanup" to No. So it opens all html tags in your feed.

Hi.

First of all this is the best Component which provides almost everything and extended the joomla functionality to the TOP level, congrates to developer.

Now for the bug i've the error where i cannot use the TOP tab to Enter Video, image gallery and other stuff, even the Right Panel is not working like Tags. I heard that K2 is not Compatible with Joomla 1.5.5 and i'm on it, so wat you guys Suggest ?

1. Do i downgrade to Joomla Lower Version ?
2. Wait for the Update ?
3. Or there's always a Way :)

Thanks & best Regards

If your website is not about recipes and cooking it wont work sorry.
Why don't you try to do the translation yourself? You need to download the k2 ini file from your language joomla folder save it to utf8 without bom and do the translation.

I am now able to post a new new article to my main Joomla site via xml-rpc (MetaWeblog API and Really Simple Discovery) using tools such as the ScribeFire (FireFox plugin) and Microsoft's Live Writer... To see which one is the most intuitive (comments please!) to use. Next, I would like to add an Item to K2.. Does anyone know how to do this?. Of course I use the import utility on the K2 main panel but it would be nice to post directly. Is there a way to autodiscover my K2 categories and tags using whatever tool I like?

I think i got the idea... you mean something like the SimplyLinks Extension!? But the source is the K2 article TAG list.
What about contacting the SimplyLinks developer? They might readout the TAG list... OR joomlaworks could modify and use some parts of their plugin... just some thoughts.


Troponin said:I think my explain wasn't good enough.
I didn't mean that each tab should appear in the Articel.

My Idea is if I ever set an Tag f.e. "Three Days Grace" (Bandname) in an Article it is possible to link by Tag to this Article.
If it is now possible to autolink to the "Search by Tag=Three Days Grace" in the other Articvles where the Tag appears as Text.

plz see Screenshot.

I can't figure it out, either and I would like to!

deef said:Somebody a idea for this problem ? Problem is still a problem for me....

When watching k2 content by tags, or by archive, than the sorting isn't right. (i just want the newest article first)

Where can i change this?

when watching category view all is great, and i can enter it in the category settings.
check: www.voipro.nl/index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=date&month=11&year=2009&Itemid=215

Can anyone help me out.
kind regards Martijn

The way you have the tag menu items set up, allowing us to filter by category is really fantastic. This lets us have links inside certain features to related items in specific categories. However there is no option to assign the template that will be used and thus, for me at least, this tag menu item is unusable because it will take the user out of the look of the section they are in and send them to a new template, which they will interpret as being unrelated to the section they are interested in.

An option to assign a template to the tag menu would be great.

Or alternatively to assign a template to a tag specifically, this might be easier.

And I agree with others that categories for tags are needed if you plan to use K2 to manage an entire site. Joomla sites tend to be more than just one feature and you don't want all of them mumbled together when people click the tag links.

Hi, I would like to put a list of all tags at the bottom of my main category page. I am using a custom template and I will just put the code into that.

I have looked in the category item and item files and see the tag code and I have also tried to evaluate the k2_tools mod code but I am still a novice with php programming and I can not figure out how to get all the tags to display.

I do not want a tag cloud, I only want to know how to call ALL tags, just the code, I can figure the formatting out myself to make it look the way I want. Does anyone know how to do this? It seems rather straight forward to me (if only I knew that much!)

I managed alter files of mod_K2_tools, where i used the calendar functionality for quick edit. Thats mean that i deleted calendar funcionality and replace by Tags filtering.

Into xml file i put parametr text, so i can from module manager change tags, which i want to be filtering. Sofar working very well.

I post zip archive, which is mod_K2_tools from Joomla!.

At present, if you set a word limit in a K2_content module, HTML tags are automatically stripped from the intro text. I would like to see HTML Clean Up as an option for the content module that's separate from the word limit.

Thank you :D :D works in back end at this point...


Ngatai Piri said:Hi,I had this problem too. If a K2 item had a gallery assigned to it, JCE editor would not appear, the tabs were not clickable, and params on the right-hand side were all expanded.Also, I was getting some MooTools related errors.The Fix:I've added the noConflict setting for jQuery and now everything seems to be working properly.Try adding this line to your admin template index.php (most probably /administrator/templates/khepri/index.php):Add it right above the closing tag, around line 46.All credit for this, goes to the guy who posted this: ryanrhode.com/node/7Thanks,Ngatai.

it works by default. Just go to Parameters. Than check "Introtext cleanup" to No. So it opens all html tags in your feed.

As i said before... and i agree with you: an extra K2 content demo would be nice.

tons of extensions? Nope, i have only 4 extensions i paid for – after 3+ extensive years with joomla. Most of them have demos or trials, sometimes great support and answers in the forums.

I know what you mean... but extension prices between 5 and 15 $ is a steal IMHO. 40+ is another story...
Try to imagine, if you were the developer. Would you spread your work for free as a demo and hoping that the downloader will pay at the end?!

come on ;-) the price tag is rediculous low...

How many joomla products have you paid for and never EVER used?? I have tons of them and dont see the point in paying for another that might be interesting but I am not actually looking for. That siad if I tried it and it impressed me I would buy and use it - simple!

As mentioned, get a demo site set up if you dont want to include the K2 function in the std module and I will try it them.

leigh :)

BTW, rocketheme takes much more – even for beta and alpha releases

@joomlaEZ
you might setup the demo site with some K2 content!



bunglehaze said:where in the settings can you specify K2??? I have downloaded the free version to test out and see if it will be useful before buying the pro edition.
All I can see are links to standard joomla articles/categories/sections.

** Just noticed it is pro only - I wont be giving this a try in that case as I am unwilling to pay to trial a product that may not be used.

Situation:

1. I have both Joomla Core components (in Section/Category/Item formats) and K2 components (in Category 1/Category 2/Category 3/Item formats).

2. The core breadcrumb works fine, and the menu assignments are directed only to the core components. The K2 categories are not assigned.

3. Under the K-2 Tools module, the Module Functionality is set for "Breadcrumbs."

3. The menu assignments for the tools are under the Category 1 / Category 2 only (the K-2 menu assignements.) I do not have sub-menu assignments below the first level.

PROBLEM: Joomla breadcrumbs work perfectely. K-2 breadcrumbs do NOT show up at all.

What am I missing? I assume it's related with settings in the K-2 Tools setup, but I can't find anything.

Matt Payne said:Actually you can assign which menu items each breadcrumb module works on, so you can have it so that the K2 tools breadcrumb only applies to the K2 articles, and then in the core Joomla breadcrumb module enable it for all menu items except for the k2 articles.
Walter Howard said:Exactly! Me too. I've tried to find a fix, but cannot seem to find how the breadcrumbs are determined by Joomla from K2. Walt.

Daniel Sarno said:I found the solution. When using K2 you can't use the Joomla core breadcrumbs. You have to use the K2 tools module and change the module to breadcrumbs mode. It then works as breadcrumbs should work. Hmm this means the entire web site must be in K2. Daniel Sarno said:I am noticing my bread crumbs are missing too. When I click on a category I have: home>>topcatagory1>>topcatagory1 The category is repeated When I clcik on a sub catagory I get: Home>>Subcatagory1
The top category is missing

When i click on an article i get:
Home
All else is missing

I am using KS v2.1.

Any Ideas?
