yes, its about simple attribution only. and the front page is fine, mod_k2_content handles that perfectly. the problem arises when you call a menu item - tag in cat. in your case its the issues menu. then the author atribution is missing, and its the generic template of k2 that does not have an author attribution in it. and here is the point where i still try finding a solution.

Kelsey Brookes said:How much author information do you want to display? Each article or extract on my front page gives an author attribution - just not a full photo, bio, etc. I'm not sure if the mod_k2_content can handle that, but the minimalist version was also my choice.

Ah, gotcha - probably best to add it as a feature request. I've found the tags view to be a bit restrictive.

Hey Kelsey great website,

Which php file to you drop your code into?


Kelsey Brookes said:There's no hacking required.
Did you build your own template? There are two ways to achieve this.

1) Build two templates
Build one solely for the front page and assign this to the menu links for 'home' (or whatever link you have to your front page). The other becomes the 'default' template. On your front page template, rather than using the jdoc component code, just use the jdoc module code instead. Assign the mod_k2_content to that module position and you're done.

2) Build one template
This is what I did, using php to determine if the 'view' was 'frontpage' that it should display a different set of code than if the view was not frontpage. This is slightly trickier, but a bit less hassle than managing multiple css stylesheets. There's plenty of discussions on this technique on the Joomla forums and I can expand a bit further if necessary.

If you've built your own template, doing option one is a total walk in the park and option two is only slightly harder.

If you're working of someone else's template and have no idea about module positions then this is probably going to be a lot harder to achieve.

I Kelsey,

I have a question regarding the article ordering. I read where you said to make sure the article is in the correct order but the problem I having currently is that the client transitioned from Wordpress to Joomla. I added each article manually but they were not added in the correct order. I then went back and changed the dates thinking that it would correct the issue but it did not. I have experimented with each option in the parameters but still no change. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Can you please help to understand why the articles still are not in the correct order.

From the looks of things you're changing the parameters in the menu item.

Have you tried changing the parameters from the 'parameters' link at the top right of the K2 component dashboard?

Hi Kelsey,

Yes, I have... But still not working for me.

Lanesa

I've been reading the forums and it seems that others have had the same problem. It seems that the articles are following the id order verses the order that I can put them in. I even tried changing the date.

Lanesa

I'm really not sure then, I'm sorry. CCEMag is now on a fairly old version of K2. It had plenty of problems, but that wasn't one that affected me.

I've always used date to manage sorting because both Joomla and K2 allow for date based sorting in either chronological direction. Sorry I can't be more help.

Thanks for your help anyway!!!
