Sorry im soo new at this , I did not get that one, i created a new menu or a new K2 category  and how i use the K2 type? William White said:

Just create a "new" menu item and use the k2 type, point it to a k2 category and give it a try

 

 

One more question. I'm having a bit of a problem setting up my localhost. But I'm anxious to try K2, so I'm wondering...

If I import all my content (articles, sections, categories, etc.) into K2 and have any sort of problems, can I just disable K2 and go back to my original layout without K2? (With my old Joomla articles, categories, etc. still intact?)

 

You wont have to disable k2, they will just be there

Importing will not create any menu links or change you existing ones

Is there a way to import selected joomla articles instead of all of them?

You can probably do this by using Arthurs csv import tool (search here for csv and you will find it)

First, export your articles with phpmyadmin to a csv file, then use the import tool to move them to k2 modernmagic said:

Hi.

 

William's method is very good, as an alternative you could also try this:

On a clean local install of K2 and MAKE SURE YOU USE A BACKUP DATABASE COPY!

 

1. Delete all the Joomla articles/sections you are not interested in (make sure they are trashed completely and not just disabled)

2.Use the "Import Joomla" K2 functionality

3. Go to MyPHP and export all the k2 related tables

4. Reload the original joomla database with all your Joomla articles

5. Import the K2 tables via MyPHP

 

Keep in mind that this should preferably be done BEFORE you do any work on any K2 functionality.
