Ivo Apostolov Few useful tricks when using K2

I had two issues, when building a web site, which were making it work, not as I wanted to be.

The first one was that on the print view of K2, I didn't want to show the comments, social sharing, the rating etc. I wanted to be more like a plain text, without the fancy stuff that I love displaying within the content.

My second issue was related to the look of the frontend submission layout of K2. The problem there was related to the template css, whi

Ivo Apostolov Replace your Joomla! backend menu with one supporting K2

I installed the quickicons module in my backend and I disabled the original one, however the top menu of the Joomla! Administrator is a bit user unfriendly.

Therefore, I made some adjustments of the mod_menu (backend) and install it in order to facilitate the access to the K2 features.

A new version is uploaded. The new version does not hack any core files.
In order to use it, download it, install, enable and disabl… Continue

Svein Wisnaes What is the ultimate wysiwyg editor for Joomla?

Have you tried a different editor than the standard wysiwyg editor in Joomla with K2?

What is your favourite editor?

There are several editors out there, and there are pro's and con's for all of them. Of course, the showstopper would be if it do not work with K2 :-)

Some things to consider:

Extra buttons placed there by plug-ins: Can they be integrated above the text area instead of the mess of buttons you can get below the text area in the default editor in… Continue

GWS-Desk Selection K2 Pre-defined Tags in Front- and Backend Editor

This (only 3 files) K2 hack allow you to select the tag from a pull down in the right pane of the K2-Editor through a new parameter set "Multiple Tag Selection" The example you see is in combination with the JCE-Editor (freely available). Works with TinyMCE as well of course. The functionality does not allow users anymore to create their own Tag which becomes quite chaotic especially when you want to use the Menu link option "Tag"

JoomlaWorks K2 moves to http://getk2.org

Starting from today, the entire K2 site network (main download site, community and demo sites) are migrating to a dedicated domain. http://getk2.org The reasons are clear: - K2 has been a major success in less than a year (was released in late March 2009) and it's already been downloaded more than 150.000 times. It does deserve a dedicated domain by now! - Major Joomla! template designers are steadily embracing K2 and we wanna prepare the ground for even more by… Continue

Increasing the memory_limit helped. I had it at 32 MB which I thought would be more than enough for a single 2 MB file. I have it set to 62 MB and uploading the image now works. It seems a bit excessive for uploading a 2 mb image, though. Turning o…

Well, you just use k2's login component where there's an 'add link' menulink in the menu when you've logged in. You also need to allow front end adding on a user group.
