Hi there,

My client wants a news system which includes public and "private" news for his registrered users to see.

I created 2 categories, one being "news" and one being "private", and so far, works like a charm ;)

Here's where I gets tricky for me!
My clients wants a visual effect to differenciate public from private news in the general news display system (like a yellow background color instead of a white one). This can be easaly done on CSS,It only requires a change on the class attribute of the item ! But.. WHERE?!

I tried creating a new category template, but it's not working (I works on the detail page).
I searched every option in the K2 component, I cannot find anything that allows me do add an extra class to my category.

Then, What should I do to make this work??? Here's a screenshot, too

Hello MorZar..

I did solve it the easy and quick way..
Just download this free secure and well done component
Content Templater..
And you are done.

Hi bot,
No I'm not interessted in installing another additional component that will slow down my site. Instead, I think someone nice here will post about a little "hack" to do, to help me achieve that!

Hi,

In fact it answers another question, but not the one I'm asking!
This souldnt be a pain to achieve...

I think it is. The template roots to the same CSS.

IMHO it will be solved in K2 2.2

If I understand your question correctly, you just have to edit the category_item.php file for the category template. Change the class of the catItemView div.
