Couldn't you create a category for those items or give them a tag like "gallery" and then use the category or tag view?

Thanks Konstantin,

K2 CSS is enabled, but i still get the bullets...

I think I will shelve K2 for this project and attempt it again at a later stage.

thanks for your help.

I am using K2 Component for my articles. There is problem while loading the pages with K2 components. Rest of the website is loading fine . But few pages of K2 Component are not loading in more than 30 seconds.

Please check:

homestodayut.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&layout=category&task=category&id=1&Itemid=110

Click on any of the tags.

Regards

I'm having the same problem.
I looked in the SIG source and I noticed that at line 52 of the jwsig.php there is a check for the {gallery} tag that is as follows:

// checking
if ( !preg_match("#{gallery}(.*?){/gallery}#s", $row->text) ) {
return;
}

Since in {gallery} {/gallery} tags are not in the $row->text but in the $row->gallery it fails.

Hi everyone! First off... K2 looks pwetty promising from what i've seen but i just want to know:
I'm currently building an anime database so to speak. It's a direct download 'service' so I post links to newly released fansubbed anime onto my site. (yeah it seems to be legal from what i've read...) I want to build something along the lines of animetake.com. Currently i'm using zoo and i'm like 50% done. But it just doesn't give me that edge...

Does k2 do the following?

I want to be able to have genres of anime so basically a system to tag categories (the anime itself) and in the category there will be a nested category. That category is the fansub group. In THAT category there will be multiple articles containing the download links to MULTIPLE filesharing providers.

Is this possible without TOO much hassle? I'm a web DESIGNER (so not dev) and know a fair amount of coding, and i UNDERSTAND (can't write it...) php...

Any ideas?

I have been playing with K2 for a few weeks now and generally I am very much in favour of it. However I am trying to implement a paper/article based site. An essential function is to link to authors, clicking through to their profile and/or listing other articles they have written. So far I have found the following:

- Whenever an author is highlighted/forms a link it takes you through to the homepage. Surely it should take you through to a profile page showing the information you posted within the "User" section.
- "Show latest articles from author" has never worked.
- What do the plug ins - "User - K2" and "System - K2 (User)" do? At the moment, the answer appears to be nothing.
- Module "K2 Tools" and then Select module functionality = "Authors List" doesn't display anything. (Breadcrumb/Tag cloud do all work).

Any and all help would be great...

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

Hi There,

I have improved the tag cloud module.
Attached is the new style.
The improved tag cloud module is better readable for Search Engines (SEO).

The old list shows just a bunch of links. They are not ordered.

My tag cloud module now shows an ordered list of links.
I have added some (hidden) description to the cloud to.

attached files:
- tags.php --> just place it in: modules/mod_k2_tools/tmpl
- tags.css --> css styling for the new module, place it in your template

Don't forget the following language-rule to: language/(YOUR LANGUAGE)/.mod_K2_tools.ini
en-GB ITEMS TAGGED WITH=Items tagged with:
nl-NL ITEMS TAGGED WITH=items met tag:

ok.. so let me see if i understand this. i have k2, and sigpro installed. I have created and have been able to display an item in k2 from a menu item. I see that you can create image galleries from archives but can you also just use the {gallery},{/gallery} tags? It doesn't seem to work on my site.

also, is it possible to change the 2meg upload size?

To all,

I made some progress on the sh404sef installation and know what is causing the 500 error. It has to do with your editor and your ftp session. You can not use notepad, wordpad or most other editors to edit the sh404sef.class.php file. I finally used notepad++. First you set your ftp client transfer type to binary. Download the sh404sef.class.php to your desktop. Rename the original with backup extension in case things go wrong. Open the file on your desktop with notepad++, make the changes and then upload back. This will eliminate the error which is due to some garbage created in some editors.

Now for the fun. The sh404SEF extension that we now heard is no longer supported does not work. You can view my site at www.youth1.com and you will notice all url's for menu items have a /TAGS/ inserted at the end like this www.youth1.com/TAGS/ instead of displaying say www.youth1.com/Hockey.

I am using all menu items of the type K2 itemlist category. I am not sure what to do at this point because we can't even get support. When is K2 going to come out with a sh404SEF extension?

Hi, i have problem with combination K2 and SIG. If i browsing K2 item, other mootools functionality doesnt work. I am not a expert, but i thing there is some script conflict.

For example i have installed into my Joomla! Rokbox extension and i use it for show login module on site. User click on link with href # and REL tag rokbox[300 210][module=login-module]. With deactiveted plugin all works fine. Thank you for answer!

Whas checking my site.. and I'm having no alt tag on my images. I can not change it. Is there a reason for ?

How can I give my images some alt tag ?

Cheers,

deef

Ok, I found some of the params for Tag menu links, but don't see anything for order.

The Tag params are on the K2 Dashboard parameters link.

I'm still wondering how order is determined?

Wondering if there are any controls for ordering for tag menu items.

For that matter, where is the layout template found for a tag menu item.

Where are the params for tag menu item.

Thanks,

I'm coming across this right now where it would be nice to have a select box filter to filter by TAGS from the admin panel.

I think I mentioned bulk tagging before but I'll throw that in too.

Thanks again for K2

When you create an item or category you can create tags in K2.
You can also create individual tags in the main K2 dashboard - select the Tags tab.

Sara, you need to speak to the rocket theme people about their extensions - I've no experience with using their stuff. Rocket them did post a message on this forum saying they had upgraded a couple of Rocket extensions to be compatible with K2. If you search the forum you should find that info, otherwise the rocket theme website will have details.

K2 display - once you've created a few categories and a few items for each one, go to the K2 modules that were automatically installed along with K2 version 2. You'll see one named K2 Tools. The module has 5 or 6 different uses - the simplest thing to do is check out the different options/functions that the module has - then copy the module 5 times, rename each copy as one of the options i.e. K2 ToolsSearch, K2 Tools TagCloud, K2 Tools Category Menu, K2 Tools Calendar etc, and publish them and just see what they do.

With your categories make sure you have one Parent Category - HOME and all the other categories that you have should be sub categories of HOME - that way the K2 Category Menu will publish a useful menu for K2 content/item navigation.

I've got no idea about the parse error.

The suffix - if that is to do with your template, I imagine that rocket theme have some documentation that should explain what the suffix codes are for displaying you modules.

Hope that helps a bit,
Mark

This error appears when I try to create a new category:

When I create a new item I must select a category. But no selection is possible.

I have asked 1&1 if they have PHP5, they told me to rename all php-files of a component in php5. Then they will be handled as PHP5-files...
Is it a bug or can I do something to create a new category?

Thank you!

Mark the simple gallery now good with the K2, the k2 recognize it, need only to explain me what is the suffix means how & where can i put tags, thanks a lot..

No probs. Amends are attached.
Please note!; these changes will mean that the plugin will now only check within the K2 content for a {gallery} tag, so normal content won't be processed.
It is possible to do this - and i will probably do this at some point - but for the time being it was a quick change to make it work.
It will now look for galleries within /media/k2/galleries/ not /images/stories/ etc.
