Yeah, you keep waiting. I've lost count of all the software projects I've seen vanishing through the years due to developers losing initial momentum. I don't blame them, eventually everybody gets tired of what they're doing, especially if there's little to zero profit coming from it.

I wish I was wrong, but I don't expect K2 to resurrect. Better find another CMS, as Joomla is clearly not waiting for anyone and I won't get stuck with incomplete 1.5 just in order to use K2. For me, now it's Seblod time - hard as it may seem I find lots of advantages over both K2 and Zoo, including real live supporting developers for a change.

By the way Joomlaworks' twitter account is a huge joke. First (dismissive) looks at 1.7? BIKES & BABES CALENDAR?? Are you serious???

So, farewell Joomlaworks. Thankfully I did not invest too much time riding with you. A pity as some of your plugins looked nice enough to justify spending cash in them, but I won't risk facing an angry customer on your behalf whenever trouble hits and you're not around.

One last word - thanks for the helping hands at these forums, you guys are positively the best K2 has to offer.

Hope your wait is worth it in the end.

Fair point... However I have stated all along how much I want to K2 and how great it is. As a result I check the thread when I get an email and as there is no preview in the email I click the link to see if there has been any word. Then I may respond to comments directed at me (like this one). I can't be bothered with twitter and its benile contributions... I've already begun the process of 'moving on' and with that note I'm outta here although I may pick up with K2 one day on a future site (if it ever gets launched).

 

Bye for now fan-boys.

It's obvious you care about K2 or you wouldn't keep coming back.

I've been following this thread with interest for a while as I've got a few sites using K2.

For J1.7 it looks like I'll move away from K2 but I'm unsure how to move the current K2 content across.

At the moment I'm thinking of exporting the K2 items & dropping the extra fields but haven't tested anything yet.

 

Has anyone investigated moving K2 items back to J! Content?

 

I asked joomlaworks if k2 2.5 is enoguh stable to be used with joomla 1.7 and he said yes. I asked him too if they plan to release k2 stable in the next two months and he said yes.

@kiril What did you use on the subject page of your site to create the layout with all the categories?

If you are asking about this website www.razberi.info/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%82.html 

 

i am using the menu module

I am using 2.5SVN on J1.6 at www.cyberspace-ks.com (it is live page) and it is OK except for the tag cloud

@adam, this looks good. What trouble is the tag cloud giving?

@William I believe you were responding to my post, the problem with tag cloud is that it does not show anything only the module name. The SVN is about 2 weeks old I have seen in the bug page that someone has posted this as a bug, but I am not sure if it is repaired or not. Also it is very hard to know when SVN was last updated, it would be nice to know if it is updated every day or to have some numeric version note

hmm... In my case the Tag Funktion and the Tag Cloud in Module is okay.

tags are working fine for me except when I want to make tag cloud with K2_Tools module, was trying to debug with J!Dump but that extension is not working also :S

so I think you can all stop postin here till 30th of September...

Thanks for the update Troponin, regardless of how I feel I do not wish health issues or anything bad on anyone. I wish them the best and hope everyone is OK...;)

Same here. Hope you're ok guys! Wish you the best.

I will patiently be waiting for the update of the no:1 CCK.

its not fair simply because of the big push template providers gave to k2 .. and joomlaworks still encourge template providers to support k2, check most big template providers .. they all have support for k2 .. and they are 1.7 compatible where k2 is still 1.6 beta .. if my template providers ( rockettheme and joomlart ) support it next month im going to scream in their forums ..they really need to support comapnies who are up to date and care about its customers .. 80 replies and no answer from moderators say a lot to me :)

I've downloaded what was supposed to be the K2 RC but it still says SVN?????

 

I downloaded the k2 svn for my joomla 1.7 install.  It had an error, but said it installed, but I couldn't access it from the components menu, and I also thought there were extra items in the control panel.

 

This tool seems really robust and  I want to get my arms around it.  I want to use it to create a web comic/graphic novel for myself .  I got this zoom module/plugin I want to use to build a page.  I'm hoping this will work for it. 

 

and for work I have a need to create a products page that will have shadowbox items for ingredients, and other pop ups.  I'm guessing this would be good for that as welll.

 

but these will be built in 1.7

crud.  you should change the info on the joomla.org site.  it says it works for 1.6/1.7

Seems to be working for me.  can you be more specific?

K2 is an excellent tool for many things and will fit great for you exact needs you are trying to accomplish but as for now it will not function fo you in Joomla 1.7. The tags and search functions do not work properly in 1.6/1.7.

no, I wasn't bein' a jerk about it.  I mean I just was getting my hopes up that I could use it.  but it sounds like I can, it's just that those features have issues (which I don't need right now. 

 

But how do I install it.  Is it on your site, because when I tried to install k2 svn it didn't work.
