K2Joom
Thanks to support from Fotis, I launched K2Joom as a live work in progress development site.
Starting from a virgin install of Joomla, I catalogue all my experience as a new K2 user and write supporting information to fix problems I find, add some tweaks etc.
If you have some issues or questions from using K2, maybe I have already had similar experience to share.

"This site is here to assist anyone wanting more information on how to use K2, the popular and powerful content component for Joomla! with CCK-like features developed by JoomlaWorks." Why not just help people with that information here on the official website rather then splitting it.

Quite simple, I dont have access to the backend of this site to be able to compile that information and to be fair, the documentation for K2 is slight so to enable myself to learn K2 I created a subdomain for my install and thought hey, there is no information on the K2 site, I have no items on my site and I want to learn so why no write about what I learn.
You will also notice that despite throwing a huge number of hours in to my own site, I still spend a lot of time in these forums answering questions based on my own experiences to share with others.

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…
2. if you are trying to remove a video from an item in the backend, click on the video tab scroll to the bottom and check delete currrent and save

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
{pseudocode}
phpif this->extrafield->name="fieldyouwantto skip"

endfor

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…

I have a case right now where I would love to be able to set several categories for one article. For now, it has been solved with the use of tags, and I suspect this is how we will have to use it in the future.
It might just be that we are used to…
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…
