It does not work because it has different specs, not because WE have our slideshow system. I'm sure Andy and his people will produce a K2 version of their modules soon...

>So we are providing a new content platform which is GPL and available to all. Can this be restrictive >to Joomla! users? I don't think so... ;)
Exactly my point. From what I have read from you earlier, I could not believe that RokNewswould not work just because you had something similar :-)
On a different note: How easy is it to fix a module to pick the articles from K2 instead? If it is just a matter of changing a variable or a line of code, maybe we could get some pointers and try to do it ourselves :-)

sorry for the word "think", i use it allready, and K2 IS different to com_content, it is much more better and clearer for the frontend-user

Just a note, we plan on adding support for K2 in our modules in the near future. We'll have a toggle in the params that will allow you to choose com_content (section/categories), and k2 (categories)

Not sure if your comment about being a new user was directed at me. It is a bit difficult to follow threads when there is no quoting :-)
Anyway - I have been using first Mambo and then Joomla for quite some time, but as I am not a programmer, I have not gone too deep into changing things. However, I am now working on a website where I want to do something more than just use components, modules and plugins "as-is", so I am slowly diving deeper into things.
There is a plugin for the Agora 3 forum called discussbot that uses a code like this:
{discuss forum:1}
In com_content this activates the comment/forum feature of Agora. I love the idea of having a comment system that has a forum backend, but it will not work in K2. Instead, I am just getting the text ouputted as you see it here. Any ideas? Do K2 have a special way of giving codes like this?

This means that the plugin is probably not published or that the plugin's code is restricted to com_content only.

Hi there :)
Talking about plugins and modules...
You told me a few days ago on Twitter that a new version of FPSS (v2.5, compatible with K2) would be available soon...Great great great :)
Is it worth trying to modify the code of a news module (my code will not be as clean as yours for sure :) ) or should I wait for the FPSS update ? In other words, when will FPSS 2.5 be potentially available ? Is it a matter of days ? weeks ? months (gulp)?
Thanks !
