Have you found the fix to this? I'm using rockettheme mynxx and can't get the cloud to show up either.

Allan Curtis said:Hi John,Thanks for the response - I noticed the settings in the Tools, but for some reasons the Tag Cloud is not showing - I am using the new Rockettheme template Nexus and configured the Tools Section with the default settings and published it to the Left. I can see a summary of articles by Month but no Tag Cloud.It may be a Template Issue but if I can see the Article Monthly summary and the tag statistics are being calculated - I can see them when i open the Tag tab on the K2 dashboard.AllanJohn Andon said:open up your module manager -> new k2_toolsSelect module functionality -> select tag cloud -> configure Tag cloud settingsthe k2 tools module has alot more functions check it out...very cool

is there documentation on how to set up the K2 Tag cloud? I can't get it to work

Hi there,

first post after using K2 for a week or so.
I'm building a magazine website, online in a week (URL in my profile). The magazine is in Italian.
Steps:
- instaled Joomla 1.5 (default language and sample data in Italian)
- installed a few modules/plugins
- installed K2 (without Joomfish, so I received the usual warning about K2 language fles not being copied)
- created magazine structure (categories and tags) and K2 content
- created a new K2 template, as explained in the Documentation tutorial
- translated my newly created template to Italian
So far, so good.

Now, in my K2 pages and contents everything was translated except for "Written by", beside author's name. Code to translate it wasn't in any file inside my new template folder.
I figured out this comes from K2 language file (editing strings 'WRITTEN BY', WRITTEN BY MALE' and 'WRITTEN BY FEMALE' gave a quick&dirty solution) and that I was missing the Italian version of K2 language file(s) because of Joomfish not being present at K2 install time.

My question is: what is the right way of solving this (small) issue?
What if I install Joomfish and then I re-install K2, get language files for Italian and edit them? Will my K2 settings, items, tags and all the rest be reset to defaults by re-installing K2?

Edit: after posting this (blamy) I've also tried Italian translated backend file from the translation forum, without success (I get 'WRITTEN_BY' on my pages, I presume this has to do with Joomfish missing... or am I wrong?). End edit.

Also, it sounded me akward that I could template everything for my K2 content *except* that "written by" string... even if I may think of why this was implemented this way (sorry, being quite an occasional Joomla and a totally-new K2 user, I can't suggest a better solution...)

Apart for this, I took me a few hours playing with K2 to figure out how cool, functional and easy this module works! Also, the video presentation shed lights on K2!
Thanks!

Where have you put the tags? Have you hacked the template files of K2?
I don't see them inside the item where it should be.

Hope you found a solution to your problem.

What I had to do is to compile mb_internal_encoding into my php. You can ask for your service provider.

As I said above, I grabbed a product from the add-ins repository on Joomla.org called 'Re-Replacer'. This is an add-on that can dynamically replace any source code with anything else you want. I then put the K2 login module on the page and browsed to it. I then right-clicked on the page and selected 'View Source' and did a search for the text on the Add Item link. I copied the open and closing tags around the text. I then created a dummy button on the menu where I wanted the Add Item to appear. Once again I did a View Source and searched for the text on my dummy button. I copied it's entire tag as well. I then went into Re-Replacer and told it to look for that specific set of code and to replace it with the code from the add item button. After that I could remove the K2 Login module and it all worked great.

www.joominspiration.com is a Joomla showcase gallery. I also have a small blog.

Template
I'm using Rockettheme Nexus with customized header, and menu. It took me long because I have two styles; Dark and light.

k2
I have at least 4 templates: 1 frontpage showcase, 2 detail showcase, 1 blog category, 1 detail blog. The modules also have their own templates.

Comments
I added Disqus commenting, and when in category view, you can see the comment anchor.

What makes this different from the official joomla showcase?
1. Not general sites here. Only the good ones with either a good design, or good development will be accepeted.
2. Search by colors
3. Better category structure. A web company can put in "Business" category and be tagged with "webdesign" "consulting" "business". Users still can't choose yet, but I'm working on that. These keeps tagging less messy.
4. Better previews in RSS feed

Bummer. I have not overcome the issue but have elected to take a different route.

I am using the default Joomla Front Page Component as my front page. I have not published any Joomla content on it but use it to collaborate all front page modules and components, primarily consisting of static HTML. I publish modules and plugins through the use of the CustomContent Module, which utilizes Joomla content articles for its HTML. This provides the capability for editors and publishers to modify the page from the front end and also the capability to publish modules and plugins.

Lastly, since I use K2 as a blog, I link it to the blogs menu link name. This happens to work out a bit better, since I can better manage the look and feel of the front page and also of what K2 blog elements (categories/tags) I publish there.

I have a working sample not for publish if interested.

Hi Yoita,

I am not sure what you mean by only one gallery.

I do not have a K2 gallery (that I am aware of).

The images on the page consist of a K2 item image & the sigpro gallery which is embedded in the item body and referenced below as tags only.

Ideally I would like to have the gallery display below the Image Gallery anchor only.

I have removed the gallery from the body now.

Regards,

Aaron

Hi Yiota,

If you go to item mode:

www.sellmyweddingdress.net/joomla/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=5:unknown&Itemid=66

Select the Image Gallery anchor link from the top of the page.

You will see that the gallery tags load but not the gallery i.e. {gallery}5{/gallery}

Regards,

Aaron

Make sure to have a Mootools template selected inside the plugin's parameters for the K2 to be compatible with the SIG Pro.

As for the tag {gallery} usage please provide a link to your site so as to take a look.

there is a way to show all categories of k2 on a page.I think it is .but I dont know abt it.Can any body help me to let me know how it is possible?

Thx in advance

I have K2 installed and it's driving about 90% of my website.  It's an awesome component with massive capabilities.

I purchased SIG Pro today so that we could fulfill the client's requirements for photo galleries within the pages and also a photo gallery section.  First, I tried used the smarty tag for SIG in a K2 category description and it would not work.  The K2 categories house the content for our single pages (pages that do not necessary have any sub-content) and we use the category description for the page content.  The smarty tag just echoed the tag text - but did not render any images.

So I tried creating a K2 item and uploading a ZIP file to the image gallery tab.  This worked (although it will cause MUCH more work on our end and additional confusion and work for the client having to ZIP their images before uploading).  However, when I go back to edit the K2 item, none of the tabs work and all the scripts on the page break. 

What's going on - with both --- or either?  I need a solution here.  Thanks!

Thank you Manukat.
Do you think its a good idea to use tags for 250 countries ?

regards.

Manukat said:Use the extra fields for the common things for each article and use tags for the country listings.
This way, you can attach as many tag "countries" as you want to each artilce.

To display by country "tag"- create a K2 menu to display by tag and choose your countries.

I see that to the list view you get this message "Image folder specified does not exist!" and inside the item you get what you said (the tags only). Have you checked that the path inside the plugin is correct and that your images are indeed to the right place?

Sorry I don't know if you can put it in multiple categories, but you could probably accomplish something similar using tags.
Otherwise I would say you make a copy of an article and move the copy to another category. Of course if you ever wanted to edit one article you would then need to repeat the edits in your copied article. At least that's how I see it at this stage in the K2 development.

Hello Everyone,

I hope I am not posting a question that has already been asked but I have not seen a solution to this exact issue.

I am running SIG free 1.2.1 with K2 2.1 on Joomla 1.5.13.

I dealt with all the issues relating to the media/k2 path & jw_sig and now have the gallery working in Category listings (category_item.php) and in the Text section of Item listing (item.php).

My problem is that the gallery will not load under the Image Gallery anchor of Item listing. Instead the page displays the gallery tags: {gallery}5{/gallery}.

These are the same tags used in the text section of the page.

Any advise or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Aaron

Hi,

Assuming you want to change the background color of all K2 delivered items then you could just change the color of the K2Container tag.

To change the background color just of the body of an article use the div.itemBody tag.

Regards,

CHRIS
