Displaying items by tag: extensions
K2 MultiAds is a simple way to add extra content into your K2 items.
Using this plugin allows additional content to be embedded into any K2 item, in up to 5 different positions without any core hacks to K2.
More positions can be added depending on the design of the K2 Template, we can arrange for extras to be coded for a small fee.
Add new fields to your K2 categories, items & users easily with translation and search features.
Extend K2 with many field types and powerful search
The main goal of Sherpa is to replace the standard K2 extrafields. When i say replace, i don't say hack or modify. It's just another place to manage extrafields for K2.
With Sherpa, you'll be able to :
- Create field groups (same process as standard)
- Create field and assign it to a group (same process as standard)
- Assign one or more groups to a category, an item or a user
- Create searches with different fields and different filters to retrieve categories, items or users with great ordering features
- Display search modules related to created searches with specific templates
- Link items, users, categories to other items, users or categories via a specific 'link' field
- Add new extrafield types via plugins
Of course, as usual, all that without K2 hacks.
Link many K2 items to another one and set which information you want to display in K2 category & item views.
Link many K2 items to another one easily
In K2, you can link items using tags. This is very useful, but, it's only a link to another item in the item view.

K2 Template Manger allows you to easily manage, edit and install K2 templates into your Joomla installation, without the need to know about file locations.
Not only can you install new K2 templates, but you can also edit any K2 php and css files from within its control panel that is integrated into the K2 extension in the Joomla backend.
Development, customisation and even installation time is significantly reduced, saving you valuable time and resources.
Thats not all, custom css can be added and if the CSS4K2 plugin is used, you can see which templates are using the templates css.
I am pleased to announce that a new component has today been released in a joint collaboration between K2Joom and US Joomla Pros.
K2 Template Manager is a Joomla 1.5 extension which as the name suggests, helps you manage your K2 Templates.
The extension will display which K2 templates you have installed, allow you to edit the files within Joomla and even more importantly, allow you to install K2 templates.
Installing K2 templates manaully is not difficult if you know about Joomla over rides and K2 template structure, so for me its easy. What I have found though that despite producing several in depth guides on the subject and even providing 1 to 1 tuition some users just dont have the time, dont understand or dont need to know how to do it, they just want it done.
So K2 Template Mananger was designed just for that.
Say take a look at the extension section to learn more, purchase and download.
As with my other subscriptions, this comes with ticket support and product updates for the duration of the subscription.
Feedback is welcomed.

Once installed, K2 Template Manager can be accessed from within the K2 extension. No need to go hunting for it amongst the other extensions, as it is located on the far right of the K2 features menu, after the information link. Go ahead, click on Templates.
|
| Welcome to the template manager dashboard.
The primary display is a list of all the K2 templates which are installed in the component or Joomla templates. One of the cool things, is the use of the Custom CSS. This adds a copy of the default k2.css and places it with the K2 template that has been selected.
|
|
If you click on one of the installed templates, the next screen will display a list of all the K2 categories and the templates which are currently assigned to it. This is a very quick way of selecting which categories are assigned a template, no more editing multiple categories.
|
|
Template manager also lists out the files which are contained within the selected template, which if clicked can be edited.
|
|
The code editor screen allows you to access the template css and php files, so that they can be edited from the Joomla backend, without the need for 3rd party software or having to set up ftp access to your server files.
|
| So now your all set to manage your K2 templates through Joomla, no more guess work on where to place your template. |
