I want to use multi Templates with K2 and do some overrides in the k2.css.
I have copy default template to .../html/joomla/templates/my_template/html/com_k2/templates/blog/

/templates/generic.php... and others

I have rename the default to blog-.
The k2css to blog_style.css - in /blog/k2css to blog_style.css



I can choose the template blog in the Layout Options und the k2 category in joomla.

But nothing works.






I put choose k2 Css On/Off nothing-

Now the default k2 is enable and i have change the k2 Files.

The CSS4K2 plugin solution is not possible for Joomla 3.0

But there must be another way,to get it.-. :dry:

I hope you can help me.

Kind Regards Tom :huh:

At the moment css4k2 i dont think is avail for j3.0 and above.
Try putting a copy of k2.css into YourTemplateName/css folder and edit it there to see if it works

Thank you for answering.

Sometimes it takes some experimenting. Feel free to leave me a support request via the link in my profile if you like with access to the site

Hi all,

I'm using the same template (thx Gavick) and I'm experiencing the same problem.

I've followed the tutorial on templating
www.ostraining.com/courses/session/joomla-25/k2/advanced/templates?subcate_id=21,
but I don't get a link to CSS file (overridename_style.css) as I should.

The CSS4K2 plugin is given as Joomla 3 compatible.

I'm wondering if there isn't a template override on Gavick's side. Their templates are very complete but sometimes complicated.

If anyone has the answer, I'm needing those template overrides.

Thanks

P.S.: Just to be clear, when I look at Page source, I don't find a link to my css style sheet = Styles not overriding k2.css :(

PP.SS.: If you want to try, disable default css in K2 parameters. I did, but haven't seen a change yet...

I haven't found a direct solution to the problem so I've come up with a workaround... I've noticed that K2 uses class="" but haven't seen id="", so I just add that to my php file & claim it in the k2.css file.

For example

Edit the php file in the template style you've created (in my case, its /www/templates/gk_creative/html/com_k2/templates/override/latest_item.php), find the div you want to change aspect and use id="override_latest_itemExtraFields" (THIS IS AN EXAMPLE! use your imagination for the id's value!).

Then, in the k2.css file (Mine is in /www/templates/gk_creative/css, but you may not have one in your template & then you'll have to go to the /component/com_k2/css/ folder to find it) , you can add declarations like this :
#override_latest_itemExtraFields {float:left; so forth & so on...... once again, the id's value is only for the example!!!}


At least the plugin allows us to load personalized php files per template folder we create.
