That's a no on both counts Joe.

There's also K2 Split Content, which has also been abandoned.

They're incredibly useful modules and I've been thinking about putting my external dev on the path of both updating and extending the functionality of whichever module has the most permissive license.

Hi Kelsey,

Check out this awesome resource (thanks to @Krikor)
www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/46586-custom-k2-content-module-assistance#157655

Also, here's a tool to help split K2 items:

Take Care,

Looks interesting, thanks Joe!

I'll probably still have look at extending the concept tho. I'd like to have it work on category views (display category image, title, intro text, etc) but I also have this concept of 'named subcategory templates' - that you have consistently named subcategories that are the same for multiple categories. The module is then told to pull content from any category named 'x' that is a subcategory of the current item's category.

Abstract, I know, but super useful for building sites with complex content-rich overrides.

Sounds interesting, you could leverage Regular Labs Articles Anywhere to do something like this...

It's a bit broader than that - but thank you, because I can definitely see how that would reduce some of the overhead.

For example, this is a site I built a while ago for a professional speaker management company, the example being a profile page for a speaker:

odemanagement.com/speakers/michael-mcqueen.html

Each speaker has their own category with their own name and a single article for their profile (with a bunch of extra fields for twitter, main video, PDF downloads and other widgets).

Each speaker category has subcategories for testimonials, topics and products (discover me), which get pulled into the page.

We use tagging extensively throughout the site, so couldn't use it here without it conflicting.

So I have a pattern of

Speaker Name (category)
|
–– Testimonials
–– Topics
–– Products

All the client has to do to is to create articles that are saved to the category (and make use of extra fields) and the profile pages are easily kept up to date with new content.

It's a technique I use a lot throughout my sites, but it necessitates creeping moduleitis, but with a split-content module that could target specifically-named subcategories it could be reduced to just one.

Impressive Kelsey.

A little jFeedback:

- missing Favicon and other meta icons
- missing brand in meta title (odemanagement.com/about/about-us.html)

Impressive Kelsey :)
Once again Kudos buddy!
