I have just started playing with K2 yesterday and there does not seem to be a way to do what you are asking using categories. But, with that being said, take a look at the tagging function.

This works like Taxonomy in Drupal. You can tag your content items with numerous tags and create menu items to those tags. Very powerful. For instance . . .
Item >>> Tag >>> Tag
A >>> tag1 >>> tag2
B >>> tag1 >>> tag3
C >>> tag1 >>> tag2

Create a menu that points to tag1 and K2 will display items A, B & C. Menu with tag2 displays A & C. Menu with tag3 displays only item B.

Lots of possibilities with this. Hope it does what you desire.

I have not used AllVideosReloaded. The One from Joomlaworks works fine with K2 but I don't think the AVR one has been updated for K2

I also found this solution which could be the solution to your issues k2community.joomlaworks.gr/forum/topics/solved-unable-to-create-a-new
The Wishfarmers said:Final resolution (?): Disabled AllVideosReloaded component in Joomla, but it still misbehaved, so I disabled all the K2 components. Then got weird "500 tag not found" - even on index page! After a brief heart attack, I decided to uninstall the entire K2 setup. While I was in there I removed AVR too, and just for good measure re-enabled the Joomla login and tested it. It worked (nice to see front page again) and I reinstalled K2 completely. Works like a charm, categories and all. Weird.

Haven't yet reinstalled AVR . . . hmm.

Just trying to to my part as a user to help others. We received a great component from the folks at Joomlaworks for "FREE" and need to our best to help each other.

Final resolution (?):

Disabled AllVideosReloaded component in Joomla, but it still misbehaved, so I disabled all the K2 components. Then got weird "500 tag not found" - even on index page! After a brief heart attack, I decided to uninstall the entire K2 setup. While I was in there I removed AVR too, and just for good measure re-enabled the Joomla login and tested it. It worked (nice to see front page again) and I reinstalled K2 completely. Works like a charm, categories and all. Weird.

Haven't yet reinstalled AVR . . . hmm.

Hello Everybody.

Just one look at the demo site of K2 hooked me. So I tried to use it. But I am facing strange problems.

I am experienced Joomla Admin but I have to admit that I can't use K2.

I have loaded fresh install of joomla Ver.1.5.14 and installed K2 along with it.

Then I have created a root category named News. Then I created a new item using News category.



I just want to create a menu which will show all items from News Menu. I have created menu as shown below.







But I am getting its output as shown below



Then again I created a "Political Spectrum" category and assigned it to "News" (Parent Category)

Afterwords, when I tried to add item with featured checkbox selected I got following error.

TableK2Item::store failed - Unknown column 'featured_ordering' in 'field list' SQL=INSERT INTO `rk_k2_items` ( `id`,`title`,`alias`,`catid`,`published`,`introtext`,`fulltext`,`image_caption`,`image_credits`,`created`,`created_by`,`created_by_alias`,`publish_up`,`publish_down`,`access`,`ordering`,`featured`,`featured_ordering`,`metadata`,`metadesc`,`metakey`,`params` ) VALUES ( '','Political news','political-news','2','1','

This is political news.

Can anyone guide me here. I just want to show all the items in various categories in respective menu. I am using New Menu -> K2 -> Item listing -> Categories but still No items are appearing. I can only see category name but If I click on it nothing happens.

hello, i installed (2 times) k2 to try to solve my problem without result.

when i try to create a new category, here is the message :
tablek2category::store failed - Table 'xxxxxbase.jos_k2_categories' doesn't exist SQL=INSERT INTO `jos_k2_categories` ( `id`,`name`,`alias`,`description`,`parent`,`extraFieldsGroup`,`published`,`access`,`ordering`,`params` ) VALUES ( '','hh','hh','','0','0','1','0','','inheritFrom=0\ntheme=\nnum_leading_items=2\nnum_leading_columns=1\nleadingImgSize=Large\nnum_primary_items=4\nnum_primary_columns=2\nprimaryImgSize=Medium\nnum_secondary_items=4\nnum_secondary_columns=1\nsecondaryImgSize=Small\nnum_links=4\nnum_links_columns=1\nlinksImgSize=XSmall\ncatCatalogMode=0\ncatFeaturedItems=1\ncatOrdering=\ncatPagination=2\ncatPaginationResults=1\ncatTitle=1\ncatTitleItemCounter=1\ncatDescription=1\ncatImage=1\ncatFeedLink=1\nsubCategories=1\nsubCatColumns=2\nsubCatOrdering=\nsubCatTitle=1\nsubCatTitleItemCounter=1\nsubCatDescription=1\nsubCatImage=1\nitemImageXS=\nitemImageS=\nitemImageM=\nitemImageL=\nitemImageXL=\ncatItemTitle=1\ncatItemTitleLinked=1\ncatItemFeaturedNotice=0\ncatItemAuthor=1\ncatItemDateCreated=1\ncatItemRating=0\ncatItemImage=1\ncatItemIntroText=1\ncatItemIntroTextWordLimit=\ncatItemExtraFields=0\ncatItemHits=0\ncatItemCategory=1\ncatItemTags=1\ncatItemAttachments=0\ncatItemAttachmentsCounter=0\ncatItemVideo=0\ncatItemImageGallery=0\ncatItemDateModified=0\ncatItemReadMore=1\ncatItemCommentsAnchor=1\ncatItemK2Plugins=1\nitemDateCreated=1\nitemTitle=1\nitemFeaturedNotice=1\nitemAuthor=1\nitemFontResizer=1\nitemPrintButton=1\nitemEmailButton=1\nitemSocialButton=1\nitemVideoAnchor=1\nitemImageGalleryAnchor=1\nitemCommentsAnchor=1\nitemRating=1\nitemImage=1\nitemImgSize=Large\nitemImageMainCaption=1\nitemImageMainCredits=1\nitemIntroText=1\nitemFullText=1\nitemExtraFields=1\nitemDateModified=1\nitemHits=1\nitemTwitterLink=1\nitemCategory=1\nitemTags=1\nitemShareLinks=1\nitemAttachments=1\nitemAttachmentsCounter=1\nitemRelated=1\nitemRelatedLimit=5\nitemVideo=1\nitemVideoCaption=1\nitemVideoCredits=1\nitemImageGallery=1\nitemNavigation=1\nitemComments=1\nitemAuthorBlock=1\nitemAuthorImage=1\nitemAuthorDescription=1\nitemAuthorURL=1\nitemAuthorEmail=1\nitemAuthorLatest=1\nitemAuthorLatestLimit=5\nitemK2Plugins=1\n\n' )



And when i try to create an item, it says me :
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /homez.63/xxxxx/www/administrator/components/com_k2/views/items/tmpl/default.php on line 65

Do you have an idea on my problem
Thanks

Ya I knew that already, I don't know if that is the same case as Brian but I would like to see it as a module like K2 Tag Clouds for example.

B Kemler said:BTW, after installing v 2 final and playing around with it, I now see that it does display "Related items (by tag)" at the bottom of an article if there are other items that share tags with the ones you're viewing. But I'm guessing you're looking for something you have a little more control over.

I cant hide anything either, changed the view settings in catagories and in the item, still shows who its created by, the title, date etc.

K2 is great and I am converting all my sites to use it instead of the Joomla default. I am creating a site for a musician and the only thing I wished it had was the addition of the audio tab to upload mp3s. The Allvideo plugin supports it with the {mp3} tag but I don't know why it was not included as one of the media options when creating the video tab. I tried to see if I can figure it out but it is way over my head.

Also, it would be great for an option to choose from a video and/or audio file already uploaded by FTP to overcome the php restrictions on upload size. Either way, I am sold on K2 and will not go back to the Joomla default content.

This is still a problem and it doesn't seem anyone else is experiencing it for some reason... Going to debug my current template to see if a stray tag is maybe causing the issue. Just to clarify:

I am using K2 stable - problem has persisted since K2 prerelease
I have a valid user and private Recaptcha ID and both have been verified
In Mozilla/Chrome Recaptcha appears briefly while page loads then disappears from page when fully loaded.
In IE8 pages using comment Recaptcha stop loading at seemingly random points resulting in very messy/broken layouts

The issue has, if anything, got more involved since prerelease as the Mozilla/Chrome disappearing issue did not exist then, only the IE8 page breaking.

Will update after debugging

Additional "Solved"
With the clues given here, I was able to take this the rest of the way...

First... I had to remember that my Rockettheme Template "Affinity" is made to be used with K2 and as such has it's own K2 files. Therefore, I had to edit the versions of these files that were found in the path:
....../templates/rt_affinity_j15/html/.....

within this path, I made the edit as suggested by MM, which corrected the modal for editing an existing article.

To correct this same problem in the K2 Login Module "Add New Item" I likewise made a similar edit in the file
html/mod_k2_login/userblock.php on line 29.

I also added 2 tags at the end of line 25 to correct an avatar interference issue in that same module. Not elegant, but it works.

Boy do I feel better now!!

clues?

Thx.

I have a site that needs to have advanced search functionality. The standard Joomla search capabilities are not enough. The K2 Search plug-in allows you to search through the K2 content but I need to be able to utilise more complex searches. (e.g. Searching for an article written by a particular person on a particular date or using a K2 tag/category).

Any ideas if any of the advanced search plug-ins on offer for Joomla can work with K2 content. Can K2 categories/tags/content etc be searched for?

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.
