I think I will just keep posting topics until I get some type of response.

Maybe I'm alone here, but I'm trying to display my items in 2 columns... no leading or secondary, just all together. What I see is the first 4 or so display in this manner, but then the rest of them nest their DIV within the itemContainerWrapper which means that these are first wrapped in a 50% div tag, which is already wrapped in a 50% div.

This means the columns are screwed.
Please see here for an example.

Hi. if you want to use only one group for your items then it's up to you to set the appropriate parameters. Just use one of the available groups ( leading, secondary etc ) and set the number of items for the rest groups to zero.

Yes I have tried this... but as I said, it appears the the page is being rendered with half the items in their own DIV but the rest nested within.

I really wish a moderator would take a look please!!!!!
PLEASE!

Hi again. From the link you posted i see that you have set the columns to 1. That's because all divs have width 100%. Please make sure that you have changed the correct parameter.

Thanks for the reply... but I have given up, and just gone to single column. I had to do this due to the lack of response on this forum and the lack of documentation.

I will setup a second link now and set it to two columns.
Actually I just discovered that the menu params has zero effect. So again, a bit of doco would be great.
Here is the screen shot of the menu params on a secondary menu I've just created. Link is here

Hi again. If you select only one category then the menu options have no effect because the settings are coming from the category. The menu link options are valid when you select more than one category. Also there is a script that detects that and disables these params if you select only one. I can't tell for sure why this script doesn't work on you ( from what i can see from the screenshot ) . Maybe you are not using the latest version of K2 or your page has javascript errors.

Thanks for the explanation on the menu params... but my problem still exists. The main issue is how the columns are rendered. Here is a screen shot when I try and out put them in 2 columns. As you can see, it works for the first few, but then puts the remainder in 2 columns WITHIN a single column.

Hi again. Try to clean the Joomla! cache if you have enabled it, after applying the changes to your settings.

hi there

have had this same problem and almost had a seizure trying to figure it out.
In the category settings try setting in "Item view options in category listings" the intro text to show and select for a example a 50 word intro limit.

I had a case where it worked in one category but not another one. It turned out the category it worked in had no "readmore" links in the article thus no problem As soon as I set "intro text" to show and gave it a limit, cleared the cache and behold it worked for me

Hope this helps
