costumize "item edit form" was created by Deigo Bocni
in the main menu i created a menu item "item edit form" type, to make users post contents with specific fields: i don't want this front end content editor in a new window but in the same window, but it's not possible to select this option (see img1): can i create this option editing some html, css or php file somewhere???
and what about costumize the front end form "graphically" from this (see img2) to make it become like <a href="media.society6.com/post">this (see img3)?
thank you for helping

for the opening in same window part try this:

create a new menu item, and choose 'Iframe Wrapper', for the type, then in URL box under 'basic options' enter:

/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&task=add&tmpl=component

the slash at the beginning is required for it to work

under "Scroll bars parameters"

choose, no, and set Height to 1000,

for "advanced options" choose, yes, yes, no for the three things, then save it and you should be good

to replace the logo go to:

media/k2/assets/images/system

in ftp and replace the files that are named K2_Logo_*.png, with your logo, the front end edit one looks to be K2_Logo_105x40_24.png (keep the files named the same)

i like to modify things, and make them do unintended things

two ways:

the way i think they did it in that thread:

go into menu manager, and create a new menu item, with the 'type' set to "Item edit form', which will have the "Select a template" option within "basic options",

after saving it note what the page's id is (last thing within the 'details' box)

then change the url in the iframe wrapper to:
/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=itemform&task=add&Itemid=xxxxxx

replacing the xxxxxx with the edit form's id

an alternate way:

if you want to change the k2 edit form for everyone that uses the front edit:

(from within ftp)

for template overrides put your modified files in:

\templates\(template name)\html\(component or module name)\...\... and so on

from \html on you want to match the file and folder structure of it's main files

so for editing alot of k2's frontend files, these:

\components\com_k2\templates\default

should be copied here:

\templates\(templatename)\html\com_k2\templates\default

depending on what template you use, you may or may not already have the folders and files in there, if not, create the folders, and the file you'll want to copy and edit is "itemform.php", for changing the frontend's k2 edit page

note that this way is on a per template basis
