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.

 Does it go Here?......or is there a line number!

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

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 "You must login to see the content. I want your email address.";
} 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!

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 "You must login to see the content. I want your email address.";
} 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.

ok, so I understand the blocks part, but all of my articles will be mainly for registered users apart from the odd few!

So which blocks are these?

Depends on which elements you want to show/ hide.
In the item.php file you can identify each block by the HTML comments.

Hi, I've tried a quite a few others things since b4 but I've very nearly got it I think...

I have the code below just need to know which bit to change...

		<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemFullText')): ?>
		<!-- Item fulltext -->
		<div class="itemFullText">
			<?php echo $this->item->fulltext; ?>
		</div>
		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php else: ?>

Thank you for the code...I believe it worked BUT I can only see this line of text ''You must login to see the content etc''...inside a 'public' items fulltext - as a guest!

It also displays the intro text twice (above & below) the login text screenshot . Furthermore it has also made the item registered without myself even changing the access level to be Registered in that particular item!?

However, this in not the main issue - Because on my K2 category page, it still doesn't display my items which are set to the Registered Access level & because of this, there are no items displaying to show guests a bit of sample text with a 'register to read more button...' just like on a normal Joomla setup.

This is basically what I'm trying to replicate.

Thanks again!

This code checks if the user is NOT a public user.
It does not check for any specific groups.
If you need extra functionality take a look at this.
docs.joomla.org/Accessing_the_current_user_object

Now, you can replace the " echo "You must login to see the content. I want your email address.";" part with code that generates a module or simply enter a link.

Now as for the other blocks. The logic is:
Anything that goes inside the else block must be removed from everywhere else.

Hi, I've read through the Joomla Doc on 'Accessing the current user object' again & I cannot see what I'm supposed to change to make K2 show public/guest my registered content/items...is it usertype if so does that just go here ($user->guest) instead of the word guest?

Look into the "Object Member Variables and Parameters" part.
The groups (Set to the user's group ids.) is what you are looking for.

Hi There - So I've solved this problem by purchasing an add-on by 'JExtBOX' - called 'Login to Read More'
This has basically given me some other options via a plugin to setup in the best possible way for my site with some free areas some paid...

However, my question is to do with the way users can click an 'image' or the 'title' of an Item to get to the Items Full Text.

Now with the changes I managed so far with the item.php file, I may still be able to implement them in a way for guest users who ''click on an Items Title or Image'' for them to see my 'login message' inside of that item BUT I would need to remove the duplicate text problem I had with this before. Screenshot - goo.gl/2b8neA

Below is the item.php code which displays the login/link message and after that (in the code) is the 

Can you advise me about which part I need to look at to remove this duplicate text

<?php $user = JFactory::getUser();
        if ($user->guest) {
                echo '<a href="https://mysite.com/join-now">You must login to see the content!</a>';
        } else { ?>
               <?php if($this->item->params->get('itemFullText')): ?>
		<!-- Item fulltext -->
		<div class="itemFullText">
			<?php echo $this->item->fulltext; ?>
		</div>
		<?php endif; ?>

<?php } ?>

		<!-- Item text -->
		<div class="itemFullText">
			<?php echo $this->item->introtext; ?>
		</div>

		<?php endif; ?>

Remove the second introtext.

The final code should include the introtext BEFORE the full text.

<?php $user = JFactory::getUser();
    if ($user->guest) {
            echo '<a href="https://mysite.com/join-now">You must login to see the content!</a>';
    } else { ?>
    <?php if($this->item->params->get('itemFullText')): ?>
	<!-- Item fulltext -->
	<div class="itemFullText">
		<?php echo $this->item->fulltext; ?>
	</div>
	<?php endif; ?>
<?php } ?>

As for linking different elements of the template (providing that you use the K2 image) you can add links manually in the category_item.php override.

<a href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>">
ELEMENT YOU WANT LINKED
</a>
