No, as Yiota said, and other people as well, this is not possible! It's not possible to appear subtitles when chosing more then one category with the category-menu-type!

And in the latest-view-menu-type settings is no way to set other ordering. The default order is newest items.

Sorry actually that was my mistake. Yes you cannot have different ordering for latest item views.

Try using K2 content modules instead for custom ordering.

yes, but it should be possible as normal content not only with a modul. So please K2-Team consider this in the next update!

I think it is important to see subtitles with the categories-menu-type (multicategories) when you have content like a catalogue.

Hi, could somene please confirm if this is really the case: Setting a menu item to show multiple K2 categories, it is impossible to get the categories names as subtitles between the items?!

Or in other words: It is not possible to build a "catalog view", i.e. one page, showing K2 content with titles telling which category the items below belong to?


Thanks, Ben

Hello Ben,

Slightly different subject. Yes you can do this.

Simply enable catalog mode and enable the subcategory blocks.
These settings are located in the K2 category's settings.

Yes, this is exactly the problem. It is not possible to build a page with catalog view showing K2 content with titles of each category. And this is not an Template-Issue. Because you can test it if you add "?template=system" at the end of your url. The titles are missing.

Everybody who says it is possible could not demonstrate the contrary.

Krikor means to have every subtitle in boxes on top of the cataloge-mode. but not over each content.

If you want the subtitle boxes on top of the items, you have to use the latest item view.

I agree with Michael Gisler and Benjamin Donner!
I have a menu item link to K2 Categories. If only one category selected (in "Select categories" option) then that category's title is show normally. For example:

Category 1
- Cat 1 Item 1
- Cat 1 Item 2

But if I select 2 (or more) categories then none of the category's title is showed:
- Cat 1 Item 1
- Cat 1 Item 2
- Cat 2 Item 1
- Cat 2 Item 2
- ...

I'm looking around for a solution but no answer. Did I miss something of it is a K2's bug?

You cannot build a catalog from multiple categories. A catalog requires a structure/hierarchy which is not available when you select multiple categories. In that case this is just a filtering for items. There is no option for grouping items per category. And this is not a bug this is how it was designed to be.

OK, I see.
Thank you!
