I've noticed that Read more and page break functions don't work in the default Joomla 3.0 templates protostar and beez.

So I'm guessing the read more and page work will work in K2 supported templates. Anybody know a nice free simple K2 supported template?

Just found a hint perhaps. Somebody says this about Read More:

Hi. Read more button works fine with K2. Just ensure that you see one editor and not two. You can configure this in K2 settings.


Anybody know what he's talking about?

Check the K2 params. There is a param called "Use one editor window for introtext & fulltext".

Might be that one maybe.

I did find the Parameter in question and toggled both ways on and off to see if it makes a difference. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to work.

I'll be including snapshots in the future to help people get to the bottom of this issue.

I certainly love K2 and I hope something small like this could be fixed.

:cheer:

Well I'm being optimistic here. Though I just installed a new K2 Component update, "Read More" and "Page Breaks" still ain't working believably.

I'm pretty sure, I've tried every permutation possible for Item Option, Category Options, show text, hide text, show read more, hide it, so forth and so on. If anybody figures out the magical formula for making "read more" and "page breaks" work, drop me line. This is my second permanent residence! Ho ho...

I'm sure we'll get it worked K2 vibrant, alive and ambitious like me. Rock on dudes!

Here's my successful ReadMore Test link: system.bondaygee.com/index.php/vgw-1/vgw1-test1
I'm on Joomla 3.0, Protostar Default template, latest K2

Well..I'm being a bit funny. Humor is my tool and savior.

Just discovered something bizarre which may shed light on things:

They are two text editor in K2 Items! It's the first time I saw it! One is for an "Intro Text" and Next for the "Full Article"

Could this be the one? Now I will follow the instruction someone above suggested by only making one text editor available in the K2 System settings.

Then I'll carry with this blog...

Well....this did seem promising, though, I've never ever seen a "read more" link in any K2 Article I ever created. I use the JCE editor, all up to date.

Well..the one idea I can see is to create seperate articles or items in K2 language for each bit of text you wish to keep temporarily hidden.

My work was about having Tests, then answers.

I'll spend a few more minutes on this for now.

Ok I'm not sure about the Read More, Page Works Nicely now with this new plugin. Read here:

Well I searched and searched. Found nothing. So I ended up trying to also use Joomla! articles on our site, and that brought up heaps of new issues. I resumed my search for a solution and FINALLY found
this extension which works. Just go into the plug-in and select yes for K2 items (and also sh404sef if you use that). Now it works. Freaking finally.

The new plugin is here:

Useless for me. Doesnt work with Joomla cache.
But, it is very good plugin if you can live without Joomla cache function.
