Hi,
I have just start to play with K2... it is great... even if I have not yet discovered everything, but for now...

1) I use it in my home page, on the right you can see 'latest news', but it has a 'wrong' yellow background. Can you tell me how I can change this ?

2) When you click on 'blog' or 'news' it has not a 'blog style' by example it display 'big folder' on the top.
How can I change this... and by example display on the right a tree with all the categories ?

Thanks for the help 

I have read this :

community.getk2.org/notes/Templating_in_K2

I have create several sub templates at : '/templates/polarlights01/html/com_k2'

/templates/polarlights01/html/com_k2/blog
/templates/polarlights01/html/com_k2/news
/templates/polarlights01/html/com_k2/latest_news

But,
1) In the menu manager, I have choose a menu item that reference a 'category', it doesn't allow me to choose a template ?
2) In the modules manager, when I choose a K2 content module, I only see the 'default' template

Can you tell me what is wrong ?

Thanks

1) If you want the items shown, when clicking to a menu item, to be from a single category then the template should be chosen inside the category's parameters and not inside the menu item. If you want items shown from multiple categories then you should be able to choose the template from the menu item.

2) The K2 content module has its own templates. You should add an override just like you did with the com_k2. It should be something like this html/mod_k2_content/TemplateName/default.php.

Thanks for your help,

I have create the following folders :

/templates/polarlights01/html/mod_k2content/blog
/templates/polarlights01/html/mod_k2content/news
/templates/polarlights01/html/mod_k2content/latest_news

With the default.php page too... but I still have 'default' only ?

Thx

You need to copy them also inside the modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl/TemplateName/default.php for them to show on the backend list.

Thanks,

I have it there :

/templates/polarlights01/html/mod_k2content/blog
/templates/polarlights01/html/mod_k2content/news
/templates/polarlights01/html/mod_k2content/latest_news

/modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl/polarlights01/blog
/modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl/polarlights01/news
/modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl/polarlights01/latest_news

But nothing appear !!! :-(

Are you sure that I need to copy several time the blog/default.php page ? in the following folders :
/templates/polarlights01/html/mod_k2content/blog
/modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl/polarlights01/

Sounds strange ?

Thanks for your help

No no, I'm sorry maybe I didn't express it clearly.
Inside the modules/mod_k2_content you should have:

/modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl/blog/default.php
/modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl/news/defualt.php
/modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl/latest_news/default.php

You don't have to copy the site's template name between.

Thanks,

I have do this, but still nothing !!!

Let me recap the steps, just to be sure.

First you have to put inside templates/YourTemplate/html a new folder named mod_k2_content which will contain the Default folder with the default.php file as it is inside the modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl/. Then you make the three copies of the Default folder and you name them blog, news, latest_news.

After that you should go to the modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl and do the same with that Default folder.

As a result of these steps you should have inside the modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl 4 folders, Default, blog, news, latest_news and inside the templates/YourTemplate/html/mod_k2_content/ also 4 folders, Default, blog, news, latest_news.

Am I right so far?

Could you PM me access to your administration and install eXtplorer, if not installed already, or any other mean, so I can see the files also and locate the problem?
