Under category listing view - items are listed okay - but no links visible to go to item detail page - can the item title be made a trigger?
Where can this be applied?

Hi! The links of items is visible if you set the parametr: Show item 'read more...' link to "NO" in Item view options in category listings.

I set my read more... link to no, in item view options in cat. but the title still isn't linkable

Hi. In order to have the read more link you should enable it in the params and the item must have full text not just intro text.

Hi

I'm after this setting as well - it works in the demo I see. But I haven't found the combination of settings to make it work in mine, with only two test items, as yet.

The category listings view page displays, with the subcategories, and item counters displaying the two test items, but none of them ( ie the catgeories titles are active links.

Anyone ?

thanks, P

hmmm...My sub category titles have images that dusplay as per the setting, and are linked, but the titles alongside the images are not, and do not link with or without images.

I cannot see in parameters for categories where " link to title ' is ? I can link to image gallery, video and comment form, but no option for link to title. I'm using build 701. What build are you using ?

thanks, P

@mark banks - Have you set 'link on title' to show. My setting have read more on and the title are linkable.

hi again,
Just wondeing where 'link on title' is found, as I can't see it...I can see link to other things, but not to title.

The solution ( if this is what you want ). This will make your subcategory titles in the subcategory block, links, if you're using the default template in your site. ( I'm still using version 701 btw - not the current 806 upgrade, but it may be the same )

1. Go to your site via ftp, make a backup of yoursite.com/components/com_k2/templates/default/category.php in case something goes wrong.

2. Around line 71 ( I use the free notepad++ editor ), in category.php and under '<---Subcategory title-->' ,

you should see



and replace with

link;?>">

If you want to then change the font size of the titles, you have to go to

yousite.com/components/com_k2/css/style.css

and look for around line 331

div.itemListCategoryBlock h2.itemListCategoryTitle a {font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;font-size:20px;}

and change the 'font-size:20px' to whatever font-size you want.

It worked for me, and I'm just a cut and paster, but make backups of any files you customise, first, always.

Hope it works for you, P

If someone could tell me how to place code text in a forum post here, I could put the rest of the info in for the post above here.

The forum is preventing me from posting the code - how do I place code in a post ( the code has a link in it too, by the way ) Sorry guys - the solution does work , I just can't get the forum post to accept it

and add this to the end of the above, to make it one piece of code
