Load SIG Pro in K2 template was created by ljk

Hi,

We have a Joomla 3.1.5 site and have installed K2 2.6.7 with SIG Pro 3.0.2 on it.

I can use the editor SIG Pro button to display the SIG image gallery in the K2 item content area. But what I want to do is display the SIG Pro gallery in a different area of the K2 item details template. What code do I need to add to the K2 item template in order to display a particular SIG Pro album where I want it displayed?

I tried adding:
{gallery}103-33-North-Templeton-LowRes{/gallery}
where I wanted the gallery to be displayed in the template, but that didn't work.

In Joomla 1.5 I had this code to load a K2 plugin:

          $mainframe = &JFactory::getApplication();
          JPluginHelper::importPlugin('k2', 'k2vsig');
          $dispatcher = &JDispatcher::getInstance();
          $item->text =  '{k2vsig}' . $gallery_images . '{/k2vsig}';
					$item->text =  '{gallery}103-33-North-Templeton-LowRes{/gallery}';
          $dispatcher->trigger('onK2PrepareContent', array(&$item, &$params, null));
          $gallery2 = $item->text;
	echo $gallery2;

so I tried the following code:

          $mainframe = &JFactory::getApplication();
          JPluginHelper::importPlugin('k2', 'gallery');  
          $dispatcher = &JDispatcher::getInstance();
	 $item->text =  '{gallery}103-33-North-Templeton-LowRes{/gallery}';
          $dispatcher->trigger('onK2PrepareContent', array(&$item, &$params, null));
          $gallery2 = $item->text;
	echo $gallery2;

but all I get out is: {gallery}103-33-North-Templeton-LowRes{/gallery}

Does anyone know how to get this to work in the template?

Thank you.

An easy solution would be to add a textarea extrafield for the gallery and put the gallery tags in there. Then you could use the extrafiled value with this code snippet

$this->item->extraFields->extraField Alias->value

anywhere in the item.php file you want to show it.

Hi,

Unfortunately, what you suggested is not what I need. If I were to edit hundreds of items and add the {gallery} {/gallery} tags around the media folder then your suggestion will work.

What I would like is to have the template add the {gallery} {/gallery} tags around the media folder to display the image gallery.

I'm afraid that this is not possible.
