Hi,

I have seen several post about this Featured Item issue. Can someone help me clarify if this can be done via the settings in Joomla/K2 admin panel

OR

Do you need to edit the PHP code for the site.

Thanks,

John

Hi. First you need to clarify what are you talking about. K2 does include an option for hiding the 'Featured' notice (next to title) in K2 category parameters.

Hi,

In the editor there are two options - Featured & Published.

I want to turn off the Featured Item - so registered users who post to our forum can not select that option.

Here is an image of the editor

You will have to create an override for itemform.php . First read getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates . Then in the override replace the radio button with the following code:
Note that someone who knows HTML programming can still make an item featured. This will just hide the radio button.
