Hi There,

When using both JoomFish and K2 (which is great!) I noticed that the list of K2_Items "to be translated" becomes quite long and there is no indication to which K2_category the items belong (listing is ordered alphabeticaly on Item Title).

All in all it becomes hard to find the right item in such a long list of (context-less) items.
I experimented with the "translation filter" option for JoomFish content elements and succeeded to get some useful filtering options out of them.

This might be useful for some of you with the same problem. The solution is quite simple:

- Locate the /administrator/components/com_joomfish/contentelements/k2_items.xml file
- add the following code just above the </joomfish> tag :

<translationfilters>
<K2_category>catid</K2_category>
<keyword>title</keyword>
<author>created_by</author>
<published>published</published>
</translationfilters>

- place the attached file (translationK2_categoryFilter.php) in the
/administrator/components/com_joomfish/contentelements/ folder

This will enable the following filters:
- filter by item parent category name (non - recursive)
- filter by author
- filter by publishing state
- filter by Item title

Hope someone finds this useful.

This is very helpful when using Joomfish and K2. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thanks Johan,

This works very well and makes it much easier for the translators.

Thank u very much

Thanks!!! It's very useful!

Hi all,

I saw that there is no need to do this yourself anymore, the category filter is now integrated into K2 (since V2.2 i believe).

Kind regards,
Johan

I know this is now integrated, but great work Johan

I created another topic but since you wrote this I thought you might know how "translationK2_categoryFilter.php" could cause a 500 error. Any ideas or help is appreciated.
