K-brain Custom Template
K-Brain Joomla! K2 Template
hey Folks,
I decided to publish my custom K2 Template to give something back. Plz, excuse my bad english. For german Translation see the pdf including in the Download.
The template has been constructed on the basis of the original K2 template. I would again like to remind you that I have tailored the template to my needs. I publish this to show what is possible with Joomla! K2.
As I related to the programming is not the brightest, I'd appreciate suggestions and improvements as well as criticism. Feel invited to adapt the template to develop further and objectives for non-commercial use purposes.
The template can be seen live at: brain-style.de
Room for criticism is here or in the comments.

- Highlight in the category view

Category View
Highlight in the category view
The leading article presents itself differently than the rest. Thus, the most recently added items will receive the necessary attention. In addition to the changed font size and color of the header that appears as the intro text larger and right aligned.
In Category view, the date has got its own DIV and this was divided into two areas. The creation date appear: in a "grungy" calendar.
View Article
Every article a feature
The article view is generated across the entire width. The intro text stands out more strongly on the article and the Extrafieldsr and article information can be found directly in the text and are highlighted by the black box.
Inserted, a background image option, and a most proper for the article view modules intended position.
Large image in the article (in background)
The placeholder for the image displayed on the item page has been removed. The code is now in the background. In the example, the pictures would be inserted in the format 360px × 550px. The width here (360px) build the space (padding) for the intro text.
If you use an Item without Introtext, just width Fulltext, the padding will be cleared.
Extra Modules Positions
All three modules positions were with the Joomla! Cora plugin "loadmodule" implemented.
1. Tag - between Primary and Second div was the place for the Joomla! Internal loadModule plug inserted. This module position mustbe added, if requested, in the templateDetail.xml of the Joomla! Template.
K2_Category_Post_Primary
In the example of these modules is to position a Google AdSense module released.
2.The second module position is located in the right pane of the Category View. For this, the div.itemList was a (float: left) and customized width (width: 520px;). When using the K-brain template that should be adjusted to your needs. The modules position is called K2_Category_Right and must also be placed in the templateDetail.xml of the Joomla! Template.
3.The third module position K2_Item_Subheader is located directly on the item page under the heading.
No display of empty fields Extra
Extra fields which are not filled in are no longer displayed in the article view even though they are published. For existing content, these are obviously visible again.
Prepared for the Onecsspertemplate plugin
The file structure was, in addition to the standard organization adapted. Thus, the K2 template for the plugin OnecssperTemplate by Olivier Nolbert is prepared.
Video Categories
The section for the video display was placed under the picture display, equipped with a float. Thus, the video thumbnail will appear in the Category view, with switched off the image of the text.
