Join the network of the powerful content component for Joomla!

Just wanted to chime-in with my K2-powered site: http://www.cristoreyjesuit.org
A year ago, I designed the site using Joomla, and a modified template from RocketTheme. About three months ago, I began looking at redesigning the site. I was looking for something that was easier to update, and generally worked "better" than the out-of-the-box Joomla install. I spent some time playing around with Wordpress, and then looked at maybe doing a total redesign of the site . . . in the end, I decided to give K2 a shot and I've been pretty happy with it. I figure I'll re-evaluate the CMS situation when Joomla 1.6 comes out. Until then, I'm going to stick with K2.
I'm just using K2 for the news section -- I've turned off a lot of the features like comments and ratings. I did a lot of tweaking/editing to the CSS and PHP to match what I was looking for. The big thing I'm struggling with now is that I'd like to find a better news rotator for the front page. I'm waiting to see what else becomes integrated with K2 -- right now, nothing was quite what I was looking for, so I'm sticking with RokTabs.
Other than that, just wanted to say "THANKS!" for such a great Joomla component. I'm really, really glad I made the move to K2, and I can't wait to see more and more sites using it.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I'm not so experienced with Firebug nor CSS. I attached a new image, where one can see more information. Does this help a bit more?
Whatever is done will modify the core, but will work.
How about putting the category id's in a field like the xtra filelds and teach the core to parse them out.
Its changing the way things work - not likely to happen unless a module like followeyes…
I don't think the concept of the single-category per item content structure is a way of thinking that is advanced and, therefore, a reason to change the content construction strategy and our subsequent way of thinking. It is merely a huge limitation…

Use firebug to see what there and what needs to be changed
Also, to skip the extra field you dont want edit in the override item.php and put something like

phpif this->extrafield->name="fieldyouwantto skip"

There is a problem with excess of free space between 'itemListSubCategories' and 'itemList'. It seems to be derving from div class 'itemlistsubcategories' Please see the image attached. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Via CSS?Thanks!
you can get the extra fields like this if it suits your needs
$custom = $this->item->extra_fields;
and then addressing extra fields for the item like
echo $custom[1]->value; depending on the position, 0, 1,2,3,4 etc in the array
experiment with this…

Viktoria (and Simon),
Did you ever find out how to put one single extra field (not the whole bunch...) a different place than at the bottom of the article?
This means we need to have a way to identify this particular field and add the code for it…
