He.....go to your category in Admin Panel and enable everything for "Fatured" under Categor< and "Item view options in category listings" options.

Which options are you referring to?

"Item view options in category listings"
'Featured' notice (next to title) -> show

It's already set to "show"

Yes you can do that. You'll have to use an image instead of text and you'll have to place it in the category_item.php so that it shows up in that location. Use Firefox with Firebug and you can inspect the page and see the html and the css to give you an idea where you'll have to place the code to get the desired result. Following is my best guess without actually going in and trying it, plus it will be slightly different for different templates.

 

Put the following code in category_item.php right after <div class="catItemHeader">. Line 41 or so.

 

<?php if ($this->item->featured) : ?>

<img class="featured-image" src="/stories/icons/featured.jpg" alt="featured article"></img>

<?php endif; ?>

 

Change the path to match the location of your image and then add this css to your css file:

 

.featured image {float:right;z-index:99;}

 

The z-index probably isn't necessary, but it won't hurt anything. I like the look, and may steal this for my website.

Did you put your item as "Featured" ?

Yes. I'm gonna try to follow what Terry suggested...if I can find that file LOL

I don´t know why, it seems that your template is overriding:
background: url("../images/system/featuredItem.png") no-repeat scroll 100% 0 transparent;

It wont help you. Terry misunderstod you.

Hmm...OK Well, I'm not sure what to do next then :D

In your template folder css/extended,css..............line 231.
There is template´s #itemListPrimary .catItemView that conflicts with K2 featured CSS styling.

If you remove it image shows. But you lose background of category listing blocks.

What I said in my last post will look exactly like the link to the image you provided.Kevin McMinn said:

I guess I can give it a shot. I mean, what could it hurt? Where is this file located?

category_item.php

Just backup your files first. If you're using template overrides it will be in /templates/name-of-your-template/html/com_k2/templates/default (if you're set to use the default image in the K2 backend). If not it will be in /components/com_k2/templates/default (if you're using the default template).Kevin McMinn said:
