Creating an E-Store a Guide by K2Joom
Over the past few weeks, in between work and family commitments, I have spent quite a bit of time providing support to K2 and Joomla users across a range of forums, It is now time to get back in to the swing of things and provide so more useful content.After some discussions with other contacts, I decided my next project would be to create an E-Store using just K2.
Not only will I be creating a micro site with real products and categories, but also using extra field codes and plenty of sub categories.
Part 1 has just been completed at the time of writing this, which covers the setup of categories and their associated parameters.
Read the guide at K2Joom.com
The E-Store can be seen also at K2Joom.com.

This is going to be BIG!!!
I can't wait to get my hands on a store of this brilliance.
Simon Wells, keep going with this beautiful e-store. I will be too lazy to build it from scratch, but will be willing to pay you for the finished product.
6 stars from me...
Best
Dave

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
{pseudocode}
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!

$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…
