Hi Guys,

may be I am just overworked or too stupid but can anyone tell me the criteria how the attachment in K2 items are sort?
I really tried it hart to find a rule how I can sort them so that in all items with attachments they are shown in the same list order but I really don`t get it. Did the developers coded a random variable?

And further I really would like to know if there is any possibility to show the list of attachments of the item which appears usually at the bottom of the item within the item pagecode.

I wanna describe my case:

I want enable visitors of my hp download wallpapers.

I created 8 wallpapers and in 6 different formats.
This means I have 8 items with each item having 6 attachments.

I have a thumb of the wallpaper in each item. Is there a way to show the attachment list right side or left side of this thumb?

Thanks a lot for your kind help in advance and best regards

You can override the item template and move the attachments block on top.

This post will help you in getting started with the overrides.

Ok many tnx for this. I will have a detailed look.

But can you give me a hint how I can sort the attachments?

Tnx a lot and best regards

Open the item.php file for single items, or the category-item.php for listings.
Read the comments and identify the attachments block.
C/p that block up and check with your template developer about the grid they are using. This will help you a lot.

Its not a great solution, but at least alphabetically is better than nothing.

If only there was an ordering field.. with each attachment.. How can we do this.. Why is it not already part of the attachments function?

It's a nice solution, furthermore you can apply it on your templates so you won't need to edit core files.

As for the extra ordering field, unfortunately this is not possible.
