To show the videos in a lightbox I used the Rokbox plugin, a free extension made by Rockettheme. For the item tabs it's a bit more complicated, so as soon as I have time I'll write a doc to show you how I did.

Bye bye

olsen said:One question, could you explain how you implemented the item view tabs, or the lightbox openend to view videos and galleries.

Thanks anyway and well done again

well, since you are not sharing your customizations it could mean
a) you want to keep modifications for yourself, understandable since it's your work
b) you didn't think about this
c) you are going to do it in the future
for b and c: it would be a great idea! K2 and gavick's are GPL, i think they would welcome a good module to show K2 items!
you could even send the code to gavick, maybe he would integrate it in the module!
in the end do as you please

Yes, the right answer is C! Anyway, the actual reason why I still can't share the module it's because it's written for older version of both K2 and News Slider. Since I'm working on the new version of the whole system, you can be 100% sure that I'll share them all! I'm an Open Source Addicted man! :D

bye bye

excellent Giuseppe

afaik there is no way of doing the tabs other than your modifications
am i right assuming that your changes was made in the item/form view?

i see that you have not been bothered about how k2 although providing template override doesn't offer the same for the various stylesheets, or have you made hacks accommodating all such needs within the same stylesheet (ex. .cat1 .title, .cat2 .title)?

looking forward to your mods

oh yes, i forgot to ask, what is it u used to part various fields in tabs, ex. this page, i see that you have a certain content rotator js file from rocket theme, but can't relate it to any specific extension they have

thanks!

I don't think it's related to any of their extensions... I think it's in one of their old templates, but I don't remember which one now. Anyway I joined "The RocketTheme Developer Joomla Template Club" subscription for a year, that's way I used their code for the first release of this website, waiting for the release of Joomla! 1.6 so that I can use mootools 1.2

Beautiful work GM!

Please share how you customized News Show Pro to work with K2 items. I need to figure this out as soon as possible and have not received a reply yet in the Gavick News Show Pro $upport Forum...

I'm sorry but I've been a lot busy cause of the university in this period. I think I'll be able to release the module by the end of this month. I don't want to share this module now because all the mods are 'ad hoc' and the version is outdated. Hope you understand man :)

Thanks for the heads up and good luck with school. Looking forward to your mod. Btw, the PraiseSlides Module works with K2 articles, though it does not generate the article image thumbnail like News Show Pro. I asked about this and got this reply:

We've added this feature to the new version, coming out in a couple of days. You'll be able to download the update from your Downloads in our store once it's released. -Kyle
