Hi,

I have not been working with K2 before. I read that there a major changes in last releases 2.5.x.

That is why I wonder with which tutorials/how-tos I should start now?


Thanks and best regards

The basics are the same as earlier versions.
There have been changes in the templating, but as long as you start with the new files you will be fine
dont forget community.getk2.org which has a lot of good information and answers to questions that are archived

Hi Will,

I have read and followed "templating.." tutorial, but can't find com_k2 folder inside my template folder...

I'm using k2 2.5.4

Coul you tell me how I do templating on this new version of k2?

Thanks a lot!

It's initially only in 'components/com_k2/templates/defult'

Copy 'templates/default/' folder and it's content to 'templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/html/com_k2/' folder.

Coping and renaming 'default' folder (to eg. 'my_news', 'my_videos' etc.) in 'templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/html/com_k2/templates/' and changing files manually (basic PHP knowledge required) you can get different layouts for your categories. Then you can choose it your sub-template category options.
