This is rediculous that noone from K2 is helping address this or point to solutions. 

 

My feedburner only sees, dead people, which ar feeds from regular joom articles.  How do I set it up to see my K2 feeds and how do I customize it by users versus categories, etc. 

 

Please this is rediculous and a lot of people would use K2 if things like these weren't issues. come on

Solved

So here is the deal and I will create a youtube vid when this is all over and it will tell you how to take your blogs on your website and combine them all to a latest blogs format and give an RSS feedlink that can be brought into Feedburner )) Happy Happy Days

1.) First, go to your K2 global parameters settings in your K2 component and enable RSS Feeds and if your using feedburner then leave the settings the same only changing something like feed count (for large blog communities on your site you might to want this number to be higher lets say 100 or something. Click Save and go to your modules.

2.) Second, go modules and type K2 and go to the module K2_content. Go in there and set up your parameters to be the same pretty much for RokNewsPager settings. Now, don't try to be slick and choose settings that probably won't work for what content to show i.e. like most commented if you're using Jcomments... Jcomments has its own RSS feed capabilities and if someone wants to subscribe to comments they can via your Jcomments but I digress. Just don't do it. leave at default or latest (i think are the same) for mine I left it at default.
Then go to the bottom or where it says RSS icon below and make sure that is a yes.
***Make sure to also put in your item number here. It is very important because these settings in this module override the global settings it seem like. In fact now that I am thinking I think the global settings might just be for the User (blog) pages... Again, make it height if you have a lot of blogs and what not. mines at 100 for now.

3.) for now put the module in a placement that is visible ***FOR NOW**** you need the link right :-)))
Ok with that said, go to your page look at the setup make sure it is too your liking as far as content is concerned i.e. avatars won't show up in RSS feeds per say with this link so don't worry about stuff like that.

4.) Make sure TO NOT set up a content limiter i.e. 10 words to get a link back if your going to use Feedburner... You can set this up with them and it will be MUCH Better so just leave this as is... Remember at the end of this you're going to get a feedburner link that you can attach to whatever little icon or thing your want to :-) So let FeedB do the work.

5.) Once you have the link via right click and copy shortcut that is all you need for Feedburner or at the very least attaching a link that is a lot more attractive than a little RSS Icon they give you.

6.) Now lastly, and most importantly!!! Make sure this module is ENABLED but on the menu items choose NONE... TADA...

You now have a FEED LINK that can be used for FEEDBURNER or whatever and you don't have the UGLY Latest Content from K2 to deal with.

So happy
