Newbie: K2 help please was created by Stephen B. Kiely-Jones
Hi
I have a site that is still in the very early stags of building and i am using a template. This has filler content using Joomla articles. I want to replace them all with my content using K2 articles.

Can someone tell me the basic sequence?

1 create the K2 article - i can do that

2 create a K2 category - i can do that - add article from step 1 in to the category

3 Get said article on to the frontage - not a clue!!!

site is at www.idxa.co.uk/thesilver.network

Any suggestions or links to how to videos or pages would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Steve

Hello Stephen,

That Shape5 template is not made to work with K2. It was was designed with com_content as the content source.

Here's a person who posted a request to have a coder add K2 to that template:
www.shape5.com/component/option,com_rbids/Itemid,198/task,viewbids/id,467/

You will need to hire a professional who is experienced with K2.

I hope this helps,

Joe Campbell

Hello Stephen,

For me, it is recommended to create K2 categories at first, then create K2 articles.
While you are creating the K2 article/item, you can set it to be featured or published on the frontpage.

Multiple Extra Fields Groups for K2
AutoMeta for K2
Chained Fields for K2
