Hi all,

I'm new to K2 and wonder if it will solve one of my cases.
I'd like to create personal portfolio, with articles from several categories.
Standard Joomla 'category blog' would be the best solution, but I need to display articles separately according to categories and display name of categories at the beginning, like that:

Category name 1:

---

Element 1
Element 2
Element 3

Category name 2:

---

Element 1
Element 2
Element 3 and so on..

Here's the layout I am trying to accomplish: capitalone.pl/doswiadczenie/
Can I do that with K2?

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi

Maybe you can try 2 modules k2 content , one under the other

You can try what alexandria suggested or use the latest items from categories menu item.

Hi alexandria, Krikor,
thank you both for input.

I've tried both your suggestions and both might solve my problem, but with both I'm missing something.

alexandria, in K2 content module, is it possible to display articles in more than 1 column? I can't find this option in module's setting. I went to category configuration and there set a number of columns, but it doesn't seem to impact display of the module. if I could set number of columns in module, it would solve my problem

Krikor, when using latest items menu element, I can choose several categories to display and set number of columns. But it seems like every category is displayed in separate column (and if I set number of columns to 4 and number of categories to two, only two columns are filled and the other two are empty). Is it possible to display items in row and separate them, like this:

Category name 1:
----
Item 1 | Item2 | Item 3 | Item 4
Item 5 | Item 6| Item 7 | Item 8

Category name 2:
---
Item 1 | Item 2 | Item 3 | Item 4
Item 5 | Item 6 | Item 7 | Item 8 and so on..


What I'm asking is, is there any way to configure that with component/module/plugin settings in any of two ways above, or do I have to dig into css and code?

Thanks in advance!
Hubert

Hello,
I'm sorry, i think it's not possible to achieve columns without playing with the css like that maybe :

but i know module Gavick news show pro gk5 have columns because i'm using it to do something like this and it is free.

CSS is needed indeed since it is a templating issue. The only thing that I would caution you against using !important this much.

Furthermore you should make an override for this module and add some custom classes so you won't have a conflict elsewhere in your site.
