Hi guys,

 

Pretty new to K2sorry if this is a basic question....

 

I'd like to move the Extra Fields (Additional Info) above the main text body

(just below the "Rate this Item" )

 

I'm assuming it's somewhere in K2.css ?!?

 

Thanks!

This is a good example of what you can to by creating an override

k2joom.com/k2-templates/profiler-k2-template/item-example

see here simon.getk2.org/k2-documents/item/91-templating for a guide

The extra fields will start with <!-- Item extra fields --> (one line above this text) in item.php and you will want to move the entire phpif block of code up in the file where you want it

Awesome that worked.

Thanks a lot!

welcome

If you are using the default item.php in k2 2.4.1 the gallery should already be below the extra fields.

If they are not check the template your using and see if it has already overridden k2 with its own default

If you have created an override be sure you went to the category and selected it

If it doesnt seem to work you should first verify that its working before trying to change it.

copy root/components/com_k2/templates/default

to root/templates/yourtemplate/html/com_k2/templates/default

make a copy of default and rename the entire folder to myoverride

edit myoverride/item.php and put some plain html text near the top

go to the category in k2 and select myoverride

point a new menu item to a k2 item in the same category

when you view the menu item you should see the html text you typed at the top and you will know its working

In item.php find the block of php code you want to move and copy it

Find the place in item.php where you want it to display and past the entire block of code there

When you look again you should have changed it...actually it should display twice....delete the block you dont want

the image gallery code is line 481 to 488 in item.php k2 ver 2.4.1

the extra fields code is line 254 to 568 in item.php

If you cannot get it to work pm me

K2 need urgently option to sort order of extra fields in Admin panel.

Not placement in template, it is impossible in Admin panel, but plain sorting. What field would show before in list of fields, that type of sorting.

Hi Simon,

 

Moving the "additional fields"  is no longer inline with the profile picture.

 

I recently changed my template and made the changes in the item.php.   I moved the "additional fields"  block higher up.  while it did work,  it no longer appears in line with the profile pic as it did with my previous template.    I even copied the entire item.php file from the previous template to make sure no mistakes were made -  results were the same.

you can see what I mean when viewing a profile....

starsalary.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=479:tobey-maguire-net-worth-salary&Itemid=3

 

I even changed the template dimensions to make sure it wasn't an issue....

 

Template override?

 

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

this link is dead now, is there another tutorial for this anywhere?

find the entire block in item.php that displays the extra fields, and move it up in the file where you want it to display
Play around with the placement
