To add. I think this might need to be done by a php include of the instructions K2 uses to define where the fields are in the database.

Firstly I'm not sure where the instructions are (/www/components/com_k2/helpers possibly?)

Secondly I'm not sure how to include this info in the head tag. I'm very new to php

I think it might be something like include_once ('/K2 INSTRUCTIONS FILE.php')

Will post if I get further

Although I do appear to be having a conversation with myself. I'm getting there.

I've worked out the php include code but not the file that the information on the fields I'm looking for is from

<?php include $_SERVER . "/modules/mod_k2_content/helper.php" ?>


Any thoughts on what file it is? I thought helper was logical but it appears to not be.

I have developed the plugin AutoMeta for K2 to implement this requirement and more...

With this plugin, you can use extra fields, item tags, item title, category name in meta keywords and description.

@Mohamed Very nice - keep them coming

Thanks William

Mohamed that is awesome (I've already persuaded a client they need it)!

I think an auto K2 meta for Joomla 3 was very much needed.

However I'm looking also to add microdata info. In addition to what your plugin does.

I've already created a Link to Google+ in the Author info which I can hopefully call if I know where the 'instruction' file is in K2. This way the template can pull the info from K2.

Any help would be appreciated

(And +1 again to Mohamed)

Thanks

Hello Greg,

Thanks for this support :)

Can you explain what you need in more details?

I'm open to all suggestions and additions if this will help K2 community.

Hi Mohamed,

Sorry for the late reply. I'm looking to use k2 author info to add microdata to pull K2 author and place it as microdata. I'm comfortable with the schema.org system

BUT I'm struggling to get to pull the relevant K2 info.

I added this to the head but it's not the correct way to pull the K2 data from the sql db.
