Hello,

I have some questions about modifying the item description section.
I'm right now evaluating K2 for a holiday resort page and therefore I need some more forms in item description.
Is it possible to create extra sections, like the already existing ones description, image, image gallery,...?
Is it possible to divide the plugin section, for placing the plugins in other tabs (I'm using K2 Tabber Pro)?
Is it possible to create/assign more and/or create nested extra fields for an item?

Well, a lot of questions, but hopefully some of you can help me in this issues.

Thanks & cheers,
SolarShip

I am fairly new as well but have run into some of these... hopefully I can be helpful:

Is it possible to create extra sections, like the already existing ones description, image, image gallery,...?

Yes, through extra fields and modifying the template, you can display extra fields.

Is it possible to divide the plugin section, for placing the plugins in other tabs (I'm using K2 Tabber Pro)?

I am not familiar with tabber pro. I am not sure how it works to create the tabs (ajax?) but it should be possible based on the same answer above.

Is it possible to create/assign more and/or create nested extra fields for an item?

Creating more extra fields seems to be a core hack. There is some software out there but in my research didn't find, for me, that they were extremely useful as they didn't seem to EXTEND the use of the extra fields.. instead they just added to it. Consider how you want the information to be displayed... It may be possible for you with the given fields and a customized template. This is the option I am using and it seems to be working out great.

a. description - yes [textarea]
b. image - no
c. gallery - no

I think there is a plugin in JED that extends extra fields - maybe it will help with 'b' and ''c'.

I'm not sure if you can do that with K2 Tabber Pro version, but changing default template from K2 Tabber Free (basic PHP knowledge required) you can place anything in tabs - plugins also, but I think only all plugins in tab (not one plugin per tab).

There is a plugin in JED OR was some solution here on forum (probably the second option) - I don't remember exactly.

@ Aaron: thanks for suggestions. I'm doing research right now for that.

Nope, there is nothing right now for actual Joomla and K2

I'm using the Pro version already, but this has only 1 plugin tab for all of them. Asked them if is it possible to split into more tabs.

Yes, there is one, but as before, not for new J version :(

Anyway, thx for your help
