Opps! Never mind. I got it, found the lines that needs to be edited in helper.php

Nice to hear that you sorted this out.

Hi there - I've read this post a few times now but just need a bit of clarification on a few things.

1) Where does this code below need to be put in the components/com_k2/templates/default/item.php file.

<!-- Start K2 Item Layout --> Does it go Here?......or is there a line number!


2) I understand I have to: COPY THE CONTENTS of the folder /components/com_k2/templates/ and PASTE it into /templates/YOURJOOMLATEMPLATE/html/com_k2/. for the above code to work?

BUT as I don't seem to have the /com_k2 folder in my sites template folder do I just create a single directory myself and drop the CONTENTS of the folder /components/com_k2/templates in to it??

You need to create the following folder.
/templates/YOURJOOMLATEMPLATE/html/com_k2/default.

Ok so I will create an empty folder 'DEFAULT' folder inside another folder 'com_k2' and copy in the Template folder files

As for the code below, where should this be pasted to in the /components/com_k2/templates/default/item.php file - for an unregistered user to be able to view the text before the read more button.

$user = JFactory::getUser();

if ($user->guest) {
echo "<p>You must login to see the content. I want your email address.</p>";
} else {
// do sth
}

The templates folder is not needed.
This post will give you a nice insight about overrides.

Hi there - thanks for the link I believe I now have the folder and files all in the correct place now!

/public_html/new/templates/MYSITESTEMPLATE/html/com_k2

BUT I still don't know how to get my Registered Content to display before a read more button?

Please any advise is welcome as I'm at a complete dead-end with this!

What is the exact code you are using?

Hi, Its the code below, mentioned in this topic taken from the Joomla 'user function' page.

It also says somewhere on this thread to put the code into /default/item.php file

But I cannot figure out exactly where I'm supposed to put it??

$user = JFactory::getUser();

if ($user->guest) {
echo "<p>You must login to see the content. I want your email address.</p>";
} else {
// do sth
}

I think you need to contact a developer about this.
This code is a starting point but you need a basic understanding of coding.

As to "where to put the code" you need to place it in the blocks you need to hide from public users.
Inside the else statement instead of the placeholder you should put the blocks you want hidden.
