powered by K2
Info:
Joomla v 1.5.15
K2 v 2.0
Features:
Backend
ACL
Different level access for the two user groups
Administrator
every user of this group has access to all K2 categories and items.
Artists
every user of this group can access to Artists category and can create just one item and then edit it every time he/she needs to.
Items
In order to create a new item the user have to choose a category first, otherwise he/she will get an error message. We had to implement this control because the client needs to show different tabs in the item form based on the category.
If the user is an Artist he/she will be able to see the Artists category only.
In addition to the classic K2 item tabs (content, image, video, gallery, attachments and extrafields) we added:
1) Video gallery
the user can add one or more videos
for each item and assign to each video a title and a description. The
videos can be uploaded or embedded via provider (just like the one
provided by K2)
2) Audio gallery
the user can add one or more audio files for each item and assign to each audio file a title and a description.
3) Picture gallery
the user can add one or more pictures for each item and assign to each picture a title and a description.
4) Artists gallery
the user can add one or more artist mini profile (a picture of the artists, his/her name and role and a brief description).
5) Awards gallery
the user can add one or more awards (a picture of the award, the venue and a brief description).
6) Thumbnails
for
each of the 5 additional tabs and for the item itself we added a
thumbnail tab which shows the user all the elements added to that item
and let the user upload a thumb image for each of them. if the user
doesn't upload a thumb for an element a "no-thumb pic" will be shown.
Based on the choosen category for a new (or an existing) item some of the tabs will be shown.

The Customer category is the same
as Works but it let the user associate an item with a particular
customer who can see the item (in the frontend) after he/she signed-in
the website.
Some screenshots:

Frontend
We
provided a different template for each category in order to show just
the informations related to that particular category in the way the
informations need to be displayed. Some of the categories have just the
category view (Reels, Services and Download), others have both the
category and item views. For those categories which have just the
category view the content of the item will be shown in a lightbox pane
(video, video gallery, picture gallery.).
Category view
The item view has been completely redesigned to fullfill the client
needs. Every type of element of the item belongs to a tab, and the
end-user can navigate through the tabs with a fancy mootools fade effect
(a screenshot here would help me a lot cause I'm not so good trying to
explain you what I mean XD)
Item view
Video in lightbox
Item internal pagination
Actually the template mods are difficult for me to explain in plain and
correct english (i'm italian), so if you are interested in my work check
it out here www.canecane.com. It worths a thousand and sometimes
non-sense words :D
Future features:
Migrate to K2 v 2.2
Ajax upload
A more flexible and modular design (since we had client needs (and
deadlines) in mind we often created "ad hoc modules")
Conclusions:
I simply love K2! Joomlaworks... thank you so much!
I have one question for K2 staff and community. I tried to implement the different additional content tabs with the plugin extension but I
wasn't able to do so. Indeed I had to hack the core of K2 in order to
realize these mods. I'd rather like to write additional modules and
leave the core untouched . For this reason I cannot upgrade to the last
stable version of K2. So here it comes my question: do you think K2 will
provide this feature? (or it actually already does and I cannot see it?
XD)
Can't wait to know your opinions and criticisms about this K2 powered website!
Bye bye

Thank you so much Followeyes! I really appreciate your reply. About my hacks-secret don't worry. As soon as I figure out a way to realize them as separate and installable modules I'll share them all with you and the whole k2 community ;)
thanks again!

Nice job Giuseppe.
As far as i know, K2 its able to extend by plugins, so probably you could make your backend tabs by plugins. There is some info on this community.
One question, could you explain how you implemented the item view tabs, or the lightbox openend to view videos and galleries.
Thanks anyway and well done again

I'm speechless... Thank you so much guys for your replies... but this last reply, believe me, leaves me breathless, I didn't see this coming, thank you Fotis and thank you JoomlaWorks Team, without you I couldn't have being able to do this, so kudos to you!!
I decided to start to write a plugin version of one of the mods I created for that site right now, and I'll upload it here as soon as I finish, so that you all could help me to get it better! I guess I'll go with the "video gallery" one!
Thanks to all of you! Bye bye

great work giuseppe!
how about that nice news slider module on the right column?
Is it fully customized, bought somewhere or what?

The news slider module is News Show Pro GK1 v.1.0.2 by GK Tools, and I customized it to work with K2 items, to slide automatically every 5 seconds (I guess), to show the news in a lightbox and of course I customized its template to fit the style of the website

To show the videos in a lightbox I used the Rokbox plugin, a free extension made by Rockettheme. For the item tabs it's a bit more complicated, so as soon as I have time I'll write a doc to show you how I did.

well, since you are not sharing your customizations it could mean
a) you want to keep modifications for yourself, understandable since it's your work
b) you didn't think about this
c) you are going to do it in the future
for b and c: it would be a great idea! K2 and gavick's are GPL, i think they would welcome a good module to show K2 items!
you could even send the code to gavick, maybe he would integrate it in the module!
in the end do as you please
