Hi,
I am playing now with the K2 subtemplate customization feature. It looks really great feature and opens an universe of custom layouts.

Until now, i changed the k2 style.css file and my subtemplate default.php to fit my needs.
It works fine, but what i would like to, is to separate my custom css code of the main style.css file, so its easy to make unlimited layouts, without need to change name id or class, or appendix a suffix to it at main style.css, for each subtemplate created.

Also it would be easy to export these subtemplates at easy way.

My question now, is how or where can i call this new css file?? I think it should be done at admin.k2.php file but i´m not sure.

Any help is appreciated
Thanks

You can attach additional stylesheets from k2 template code:

Valdis said:For now it's possible to add css for each template using something like this inside template php files (like item.php and such): $doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$doc->addStyleSheet( 'www.example.com/css/mystylesheet.css' );

Thanks for this info.It works good.
Just one question: at the addStylesheet you write a absolute path to the css file. What i would like to do is get relative path to it.

I tried these instance JURI, JPATH but i cant not figure it work.
Any help will be aprecietted
Thanks

OK! i did it.
This is what it must be added:
$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$doc->addStyleSheet(JURI::base().'modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl/foldername/filename.css' );

I am not very experienced with custom templating these files, and was wondering if someone might put a tutorial together. I think it would benefit K2 tremendously. My problem right now is that I want to use K2 for its custom fields, but on the category list layout, it doesn't necessarily display as a list. It is most like an article layout.

I would like for the Category List to look more like the Joomla default Category list layout with a table (myfirstbrew.com/hops-list.html) but I want to have the tables populated with custom fields and what not. Can anyone do this? I'd be willing to shoot you some funds for it.

Sorry man, but i cant understand exactly what you want.

Hi everyone,

here's what i've done to load a specific template css file :

In the file 'plugins/system/k2.php' / function 'onAfterDispatch()' / Line 61,

I've added the lines :

$params = &JComponentHelper::getParams('com_k2');

if($params->get('theme'))
{
$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$doc->addStyleSheet(JURI::base().'templates'.DS.$mainframe->getTemplate().DS.'html'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'templates'.DS.$params->get('theme').DS.$params->get('theme').'_style.css');
}

This enables to load the css file which name is _style.css (where is your k2 template name.

Hope It will help...
