When set up a Menu Item Type. I can't find K2 default frontpage layout.

I can only choose
Item-Item
Item-listings Categories,Tag,User Page (blog)

i am also trying to do a frontpage blog layout with K2 through the Home menu item, and would appreciate some help.

I'm very interested with this too.

Apparently a determining factor is whether you have BEGUN with K2 or if you're migrating AN EXISTING SITE to K2.

If you're migrating, seems that you have to:

(1) import all sections/categories/articles into K2
(2) copy existing menus
(3) change the menu copies to K2-based menus pointing to K2-based sections/categories/items
(5) delete original menus
(6) delete original sections/categories/articles
(7) use appropriate extensions/components/modules/plugins to retool frontpage

Can one of the experts please verify this methodology? Thanks!

Can anyone confirm this? How do I setup a frontpage if i just use K2 articles?

Hi,

This didn't work me.
I started first with a blank layout and begun in K2. While everything worked, I couldn't populate my Frontpage.

I then started to create categories and articles in Joomla and then migrated to K2.

While the articles got added to K2, the Frontpage remained on its own in Joomla, unconnected from K2.

Any developers here to help?

How do we get this back?

I mean are we forced to use k2 categories and just point which categories?

Help developers please...
