Anyone interested in sharing some step by step on how to work with K2 in joomla 1.5.x submit your posts here. I am also very new to K2 and Joomla but so far I have managed to build a website in joomla and would like to use the K2 component to boost my site.

I'm also a K2 noob and looking for a handsome usersguide. Soo yes, I'm interested

Ok, I´m walking in your shoes too. I see the great potential of K2, so I´ve been looking for some basic info in advance cause I´m really impatient and I can't wait for K2 documentation release... I found this video that I think is useful for total beginners like me... follow this link to watch a video...

Hope you'll find it useful

Hie all who are beginning with K2 like me. Here is a beginners' advice that I can give you. Install a fresh copy of joomla! without sample data, then install the K2 component, Having done that,

1. create a category and publish it
2. create an item (same way you create articles in joomla!)
3. select the item's category as the category you created
4. publish the item and set it as featured by enabling the featured check mark
5. go to module manager and enable the following: k2 comments, k2 content
6. open your site in a separate tab or window and observe what k2 can do.

I have done this in trying to work out how k2 works and what it is all about, believe me guys, this is the future of having visitors placecomments right on the article you want them to. Whats more You should be able to commounicate directly with the commentore if you so wish.

More to come as I learn more.

How to submit from front end?

You must be authenticated by K2 Login, to be able to comment from the front end. Make sure the article is set as featured. That is what I know for now, but will give you more info in due course.

some problem having the tags working

I'd like create a category view that looks like this: k2.joomlaworks.gr/demo/
In K2, there are so many options, please help ...

Kind regards
