Adding custom class to K2 articles in view by tag was created by Lech Zbigniew Dutkiewicz
I'm new here and it's my very first question. I'm also new in web design and not-so-good in English so I ask for forbearance :)
In one of my first projects I use Joomla 3.0 and K2 to create a wall-like portfolio with articles about handbags. Since each of them belongs to more than 1 category, I used tagging and tag-view instead of default category-view. It's quite important for my project to differ featured articles and articles with one specified tag to display different from others - I'll use css for that. But I have no idea how to add this information into div's class. In view by category I used
in item's container div. My understanding of this is rather small and I don't know why it doesn't work for view by tag.
Thank all of You for any answer!

<?php echo ($this->item->featured) ? ' catItemIsFeatured' : ''; if ($this->item->params->get('catItemTags')): foreach ($this->item->tags as $tag): echo ' ' . $tag -> name; endforeach; endif;?>
in item's container div. My understanding of this is rather small and I don't know why it doesn't work for view by tag.

Hello Lech,
First of all best of luck with designing :)
Firstly K2 only supports one category per item so I guess you are using an extension for this.
I think you might want to rethink your approach and use the category views since it is more flexible.
Finally inside tag you will need $item-> instead of $this-> item.

Hi,
Thanks for Your advice. Instead of using multiple categories I decided to try tags. That's why my site shows items listed by tag instead by category. For my current project it seems nessessary to use multiple categories for articles and I didn't know any other way to do that than by tags.
