@Followeyes here comes some more detailed examples

In your above example each row corresponds to one k2fields. So what you should do is paste each of those row in the Name field of an extra field of the type Text Field. So breaking it down as follows and also aided by the attached picture visualizing whats written below:

Example 1. if you create a Text Field with the name containing the following k2fields syntax:

k2f---valid=datetime:::low=+0:::high=+3:::required=true---Datum

it would give you one editable datetime k2fields with current year as least available and current year + 3 years forward as maximum available and where the field name is Datum

Example 2. If you again create another extra field of the type Text Field and paste the following in the name of the field

k2f---block=true:::valid=number:::interval=[200,10000]:::list=conditional:::listmax=5---Text test

it would give you a number field (with the name "Text test") which allows entry of values between 200 and 10000. Having list enabled on this field (list=conditional) user would be able to add 5 varying values (listmax=5). Besides since the is conditional (list=conditional) user would be able to give conditions for each value as well. Since block=true k2fields checks if given values for this particluar field are of valid type and if not it will not allow submission of the item form.

Example 3. In case of this third example, lets skip it for a while as it have to do with extending the stock K2 select list so that user can add values

Example 4. k2f---valid=number:::interval=[200,10000]:::list=conditional:::listmax=5:::conditions=Daily%%Weekly%%Monthly%
%Yearly---Rent

If you again create a new K2 extra field with the type Text Field with the above k2fields syntax in the name field you would get a field which allows values between 200 and 10000. As example 2 above the user is allowed to enter 5 different values and this time the field have fixed conditions, with drop down and the values avialable for selection are those given in conditions=Daily%%Weekly%%Monthly%%Yearly. Each condition separated by "%%", thus Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly being those available as conditions

In the attached picture you will be able to see how it all works out

Good luck and let me know if you have any further ideas or questions

Thank you very much for detailed example.. But am not sure what I miss here..
it shows only the code.


..You may help!

@Followeyes may I start by asking, is the k2fields plugin you installed enabled?

Yes "Gobezu Sewu", I installed as usual joomla extension install, then enable it from the plug-in manager.

Gobezu Sewu said:@Followeyes may I start by asking, is the k2fields plugin you installed enabled?

after I installed the plugin and tried to open an "edit item" window on the frontend: Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in ....../plugins/k2/k2fields.php on line 348

Gobezu Sewu said:fellow k2ists, thanks for the feedback, a maintenance update with the above issues addressed is uploaded

fyi, I am leaving K2 for some time, since all the features I am looking for seem to be available in jSeblod.

@Followeyes is there anyway I can access your setup and look at the issue?

@Tamas I sincerely hope its not b/c of me ;), I am as well looking at jSeblod, but not as replacement of K2 b/c they all have their place and I will definitely continue to use K2 in contexts that doesn't require the so called "extra fields" within K2, good luck

Sorry "Gobezu Sewu", it's a local setup for now.
Just wondering..
I installed the core K2 one by Fotis.
Where can i see the K2 plug-ins been installed & enabled, including yours?
Maybe then I will figure my mistake anywhere.

@Followeyes ok, as I said on the download site, this was meant to be part of a larger project but have abandoned K2 for that specific project thus have not implemented it on any live site. It looks like I would need to setup a demo site. Will post here as soon as its done!

Btw, I didn't understand your reference to Fotis plugin?
