Hello everyone @ K2

 

I'm pretty new to K2 although I've been using Joomla itself for some time now. Well, K2 is great component, that's for sure! However, as much as I love the Extra Fields function, I was wondering maybe there is some way I could add these fields to my articles (K2 Items, that is)? I mean, if I have an article with some text, then I want to add extra fields and continue with the text after Read More. Maybe there's is some sort plug-in or something like that?

For example, here's my article:

This focus allows us to provide the highest quality products and services to help you tell your stories.We’re also the #1 choice of professional photographers and the proud recipient of many awards.

{EXTRA FIELDS}

Our customer service team is eager to assist you and has won national awards for making our customers happy...

 

 I hope you get what I mean :)

 

Looking forward to your reply!

 

Regards

You can do this with a custom override by rearanging the block for extra fields and putting it between intro text and full text

see here for a start with overrides

Thanks, William! Overriding seems to work fine! However, I could still use some sort of a plug-in or something as I'm building this vehicle rent website and at the catalog view I want only the picture of a vehicle and the intro text in which the main info (such as "maker", "model" etc) to be shown. I add these "maker", "model" as extra fields so my customer could select these values from the drop-down in the back-end. Now, in order for these fields to be shown at my catalog view they need to be inserted as intro text in an article. So that is the whole point.... :)  

I purchased this wonderful LOF K2 Scroller and it's the intro text that is shown under the photo. That's where I need my extra fields..... I know this sounds stupid but still....

 

Is there any solution to this? :)

Please send a link to your site if live. What i am suggesting is

Create a menu link to a category view

Create an override for that category

IN that override edit category_item.php and rearange the image and intro text blocks

Select that override and choose the proper blocks to show or not to show

You should get:

Title

Intro Text

item image

(or whatever you have set to show)

The direct link should be THIS This is only my demo server, so the information shown there is temporary and mainly for the demonstration purposes. But there you will see K2 Scroller in action.

 

Thanks :) 

with the lof k2 scroller you will be custimizing it

something like the discussion here
