I'd like display the following title "John D, His Life,....." in all layout&view (categories, users, tag, etc).. I need display all titles cause, other way break my desing.
Thanks.

Hi. There is no automatic way to do this. You need to write some code. There are two ways:

1. Using CSS. You can use the "text-overflow" rule. Details can be found at developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/text-overflow .

2. Using PHP. You will have to create overrides for K2 templates. First read getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates to get familiar with K2 templates. Then you will be able to use something like that:

Note that this example refers to the item.php layout. Code for other layouts should be similar.

Hi, thanks a lot.
Where do I need to put this code, I mean, before or after which line inside the category layout?

This depends on you. You need to place it wherever you want the title to be displayed. If you don't want to change the current position of the title just place it where your current title is.
