Hi everyone,

 

I'm thinking of developing a K2 dedicated backend extension with
extra admin features.

 

The first feature asked by Stavros is to have a button to delete/trash K2 expired items.

 

What is the feature you would like to be implemented ?

 

This extension would be developed for free.

 

Regards,

 

Olivier

Hi Olivier.

 

That sounds awesome!

 

Not sure in what direction you want to take it but here are some things that would improve the workflow of my content creators:

* Being able to visually distinguish between items that are unpublished, published and 'scheduled' (published but not live because the publish date is in the future) - this can be accomplished with a 3 state Published icon.

* Add a publish date column and be able to sort items by publish date instead of just created & modified (I've actually hacked that in my K2 admin to do it but it's kind of crude and hacky)

* Make a K2 replacement to Joomla's "Recent added Articles" module in the control panel (meaning with an actual link to the item so you can edit directly - unlike the K2 Dashboard's Latest Items.  Make it an admin module so we can configure it to show in the basic control panel.

 

That's off the top of my head, I'll think a bit more about this...

 

Thanks,

Hy,

Do you have any progress of that project?

Hi guys,

 

Packaging the first release of extension and it'll be available for tomorrow...

 

For now it contains the delete expired items function.

 

Olivier

Ok. We are waiting your new version.

sorry guys,
Discovered a conflict problem with this extension and another one. I'm fixing that and updating package.

when will be ready?

Stavros,

 

I think it will be ready....when the problem will be fixed...not before

Hi everyone,

 

The first release of the extension is finally here !

 

I've called it 'Joko' (Which means 'Game' in Basque) and you'll find it in attachment.

 

You just have to install it and there will be a new 'Joko' item menu in the K2 backend menu.

 

The features are :

- Item list with a new 'publication state' filter : past, available & incoming items

- New toolbar button to directly delete items

- New columns 'Start' & 'End' for the publication dates.

- Some useless columns have been removed from the K2 core item list.

 

I'm waiting your feedback...

That's awesome Olivier!  I'll give it a spin tomorrow. I know a content creator that's going to be happy!
