I'm curious as to whether the following is possible:Let's say I have a category that has a bunch of items, but I want them to display something other than their actual titles on the site. For example:http://next.kdhx.org/music/live-performancesThis currently displays a bunch of nice articles with short titles. But those titles are not ideal. I'd like the actual titles to be something like: Artist Name: Live at KDHX 8/31/10. That would be better for Google, feeds, sharing, etc. But in terms of the layout of the site, I don't want all that extra info; I just want the text "Artist Name" to display, as it does now.In other words, is it possible to have K2 display some text other than the actual title in a category?  I hope that makes sense, and thanks in advance!Roy

Several approaches to this...
Try creating an override.
Turn title off in itemview in category listings
in the article make the first line what you want
then put a readmore
turn on intro text and off full text
see what happens...
this is the eaisest and most straitfoward way.

Another way would be to use an extra field for what you want to display and code the override to show just the xtra field you what where you want it
