Hello,

I search a module or a tutorial to increase Extra field Type (like File dowload for example).
Or i want to override "extrafield image type" to have more than image to link (like .pdf,.xls,...)

Thanks for help

Keen to do the same - would like a "Media" or "Attachment" extra field type, similar to the "Image" extra field type, but the resulting use of "select" will allow you to pick a file name once you've uploaded the file. The file can then be linked as required in the K2 template layout.

For a temporary workaround I've changed

administrator/components/com_k2/models/extrafield.php at line 391 (K2 2.6.7):

From:

<a class="k2ExtraFieldImageButton" href="'.JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_k2&view=media&type=image&tmpl=component&fieldID=K2ExtraField_'.$extraField->id).'">

To:

<a class="k2ExtraFieldImageButton" href="'.JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_k2&view=media&type=attachment&tmpl=component&fieldID=K2ExtraField_'.$extraField->id).'">

and this then allows the Image extra field to accept attachments.


You also need to edit line 1385 in components/com_k2/models/item.php to take the img src tags off.

$value = '<img src="'.$src.'" alt="'.$rows[$i]->name.'" />';

becomes

$value = $src;

Why don't use the attachments instead of hacking the core? That is why they are built for
