Hello all,

 

I want to make a grid of k2 items on 1 large page. I want it so that if they click on the thumbail of any item the item view will come out in a popup window (only a few custom fields and a pic on this view) which people can open and close.

 

Is such a thing possible?

I have seen that at work in a JoomlaBamboo template, cannot remember which one, it may have been in a module from them called mod_microblog

thanx - I know that module, let me have a look.... it`s a start...

The place i think i saw it was in a quickstart of Avanti, but i looked and do not see it now

what did you see in a quickstart of Avanti, Microblog?

You could change the item link in category list, and open them with a squeezebox, like this :

 

function loaditem(item_id){

      SqueezeBox.initialize();

      SqueezeBox.fromElement(this, {

      handler: 'iframe',

      url: 'url_to_your_item',

      size: {x:window.getSize().scrollSize.x-200, y: window.getSize().size.y-80},

     onShow:$('sbox-window').setStyles({'padding': 2}),    


});

}

 

For the url to the item, use the id of item, it's not hard to find... And for the size, I put automatic resize to the screen size of the user, and I remove 200px to width, and 80 to height, but you can do what you want ;)

thanx a million , but where exactly would I put this code

I've not really the time to explain in details to you, but you have to do an override of the file :

 

joomla_folder\components\com_k2\templates\default\category_item.php

 

Read documentation of override (on this website, or on Simon website).

You just have to change the link of the image by a call to my fonction with the item id.

 

If nobody else help you with these indications, I'll be back on this topic at the end of the week ;)
