Hello, everyone. I'm trying to create new view for K2 component, based on "latest" view. I created folder "my_view" in /components/com_k2/views/ and copied there all files from /components/com_k2/views/latest/. I edited those files and added "my_view.php" to /components/com_k2/controllers/. Please tell me, if I did something wrong or missed some steps, because my view isn't working.

 

P.S. Sorry if my English is not very good.

Did you rename your files in the my_view folder?

 

From latest.php to my_view.php

From latest.xml to my_view.xml

From latest_item to my_view_item.php

 

In controllers/my_view.php did you change the VIEW from latest to my_view?

 

Around line 25 change

$view = &$this->getView('latest', 'html');

to

$view = &$this->getView(my_view, 'html');

 

You will most likely need to change the MODELs around line 27 & 31 too and then create your model(s).

 

What exactly are you trying to do?

 

Can't you just copy the view/latest/tmpl files to your template's html/com_k2/latest folder and make your changes there? Or do you need an actual new view?

Thanks, Mike, the problem was in some unnecessary editing of view.html.php
