Hello,

I am very new to k2, and no expert at Joomla for that matter. I am having trouble with the subcategories on my site.

This is what I get for my "blog" category, which is correct



But this is what happens when you view the subcategory

the main content is ignoring the side modules and not conforming to size.

and when you view the item, it's correct again.



I have scoured the category and subcategory options for hours and can't seem to find what's going wrong.

Any help is MUCH appreciated.

*edit: fiebug shows this code <div class="itemContainer itemContainerLast" style="width:100.0%;"> for the correct layout, however, this isn't controlled by a css sheet as far as I can tell, but it's in the HTML panel. The incorrect view doesn't have the "style="width:100.0%". Can anyone give me an idea of which file to amend?

**edit: Issue seems corrected by adding width:100% to div.itemContainer {float:left; width:100%;}. Don't forget the % sign like I did, hours of headbanging. =) But if anyone has a better suggestion, please let me know. I'm still learning.

I am having the same issue. I am using Joomla 3.0 and the latest version of K2. I have been scouring through every setting on my categories and subcategories and everything seems to align up perfectly. There is absolutely no rhyme or reason as to why the Category and Sub Categories are getting so messed up.

They are not following the settings that I am selecting.

Try the default template and determine if this is a template or a k2 issue

I have rebuild some new categories from fresh and they are still not showing up correct. I have also un assigned the templates and re setting each setting individually and nothing is really changing on the site. It seems like a good product, I just with I can get it to work properly.

It looks like I am making process, I basically rebuild every category. I do thing the "Inherit parameter options from category is working well, or perhaps I may not understand the logic behind it.

I have new questions. I have some Categories that have a couple levels of Sub Categories underneath them. When I display the page for the top level category I only want to see 1 level down of the sub category. Is there any way that you can rule those out?

I am currently working on overrides that do just that - stop the subcategory display at some level. Contact me thru my profile if you want to chat

I had success by updating the k2.css stylesheet to size the width of my div.

I'd also tried rebuilding categories, but it didn't work until I changed the css for the div.itemContainer to 100%, however, I am using a responsive template which may contribute, rather than the default.


I am also interested in showing only category certain levels in k2 like you can in default joomla - is that what you're referring to?

@CHRISTY I am setting the k2 view in an override to show subcategories only if you are viewing a single or certain selected categories. The drill down effect of the folders stops and you present the items in a module as you wish for that particular category, and the item view is below the list of items which is always persistant
