Hi

I am using this module
joomcar.net/car-catalog

for sorting the content according to the extra fields.
You have to use one of the Multi-select list, Dropdown selection etc. extra fields (that the options have been added previously to the database) in order to make it work correctly and it does it's job very well.

Worth the money !

(admin template override)
/Joomla folder/administrator/templates/your admin template/html/com_k2/items/default.php

How can i add extra column(s) to the admin template for items.

I want extra column with the values of the extra fields.

ex:
# Title Featured Published Order Category extra_field Author ect.....

In order to remove the border do not provide any border at all in your HTML and then set border to none using CSS. Regarding the message, maybe it's coming from your editor.

Thanks for the response Lefteris

I have tried in the CSS file, to no avail. Also, this has never happened before, I have built about a dozen sites using Joomla/K2.. any othr thoughts?

For the message, this is not unique to this site, but is unique to Extra Fields, doesn't occur when not editing extra fields. Can you think of any extension that might cause this response? TO be honest I don't know where to begin looking!

Many thanks

I have a problem with the json too for the extra_fields constraction.

All my fields decoded as
but on some items I have problem and the produced json code is
So in some cases the extra_fields produced as array [] and on some items the extra_fields produced as objects {}.

But the items is on the same category and I fill the same style data on extra fields.
What is happened?

Hi. You can modify the table borders as you wish using CSS. Regarding the message it is not coming from K2. Check any other extensions that maybe are causing this.

Oops, should clarify.....

The message popping up on save was also present on K2 2.5.4 on the old server

The problem with the borders has only presented since changing server. And appears on both 2.5.4 and 2.5.7

thanks

Hello

Joomla 2.5.6, K2 2.5.7 (problem also presented in K2 2.5.4)

I have moved my site from one server to another and now a couple of problems have arisen. I don't know where it is originating from, or whether it is something to do with the server or K2.

I place a table for my extra fields if the contents are going to spread out over more then 1 line. The reason for this is that I want the contents to line up to the left, not overflow below the field title.

Now, however, each of these tables has an unwanted border. I have tried specifying in the HTML for the field that there should be no border, or spacing, or padding. But as soon as I save the changes it deletes the "0" in the HTML for the table and presents a border.

<table border="" cellspacing="" cellpadding="" style="width: 100%;">

</table>

Please view here: www.studertrust.org/index.php/studer-trust-projects/schoolss/schools-in-myanmar/itemlist/category/311-0034-shweku-school

As you see, all tables have borders.

Also,everytime I go to save the page I am presented with the message shown on the JPEG attached.

Can anyone please advise?

Many thanks

Hi

I use K2 content module to display articles list on position-1 (a panel that slides down with jquery on main page) and it has everything desactivated but /Extra field/ on the /Item view options (common for either source)/ in order to show extra field on the listing such as: Author, Date, Location, Type etc.

I would like to display only Author and Location on the K2 content module AND keep all the extra fields on the article view (there are like 8 of them, but too many to show in a list)

I hope this isn't another unsolvable question of mine :)

Any help greatly appreciated.

[edit]
Joomla! 2.5.6 and K2 v2.5.7

Having set up the extra field as a text field paste the code:

<form action="www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="GV49BAUW4EJAQ">
<input type="image" src="www.paypalobjects.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_buynow_SM.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal — The safer, easier way to pay online.">
<img alt="" border="0" src="www.paypalobjects.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

All that displays in the front end is "form method="

Using the text area it shows the "Buy Now" button as it shoul but when clicked it refreshes the page instead of going to the PayPal site.

When looking at the code in the text field it has been altered to:

<form method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" /> <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="GV49BAUW4EJAQ" /> <input type="image" src="www.paypalobjects.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_buynow_SM.gif" border="" name="submit" alt="PayPal — The safer, easier way to pay online." /> www.paypalobjects.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1" />

I have tried pasting this into the basic editor and using the HTML button and still get the same results.

Me and a colleague are developing a website using joomla, we have ditched the joomla article component and replaced it with K2.

A part of the site's content , is posting (using K2 items) upcoming Live Events, such as an upcoming music concert, containing info about that event, images etc.

We want to find out if its possible to order these items, by the Date of the Event, or in other words how to order these items by the Extra Field : Date, of the item. K2 core only let's us order these items by Date Published or Date Created which is not what we need.

If anyone knows an easy way to overcome this obstacle it will be deeply appreciated!

+1 to that, ordering default values would be a huge improvement.

Like a Drupal taxomony list of terms.

An automatic alphabetical/numerical resort would be an improvement, so you don't have to delete every item to get back to the A's.

Easy enough to re-sort in phpmyadmin but don't think too many clients would be happy with that!

The extra fields are designed to display in a two column format.
You can find this in either item.php or category_item.php of your override directory if you are using an override. (see docs above for k2 templating)
In order to style each extra field differently you will have to address the extra fields one at a time and apply the style you want in the item.php and the css files
Try creating a variable and address it like this $custom = $this->item->extra_fields; and then addressing extra fields for the item like echo $custom[1]->value; with your own divs around them

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help here as I've had a good search in effort to resolve a problem with changing the slide image per language.

I have a Joomla 1.5 site running FPSS 3.2.0, with the latest Joomfish release V2.2.3.

I can translate some of the slide content but, most importantly for me, I'm not able to change the slide image being referenced for other languages: it's not an option in the Joomfish translation page.

I can see how I can add more to the fpss_slides.xml in the Joomfish 'administrator/components/com_joomfish/contentelements' file BUT the extra lines I would add to reference changing the slide image can't be found in the database. So I've opened up the table 'jos_fpss_slides' in the database but can't find a field to reference the image path.

So here's an example of the extra lines to add to the XML file:
<field type="text" name="path" translate="1">Image</field>
<field type="text" name="path_type" translate="0" >Path_type</field>
<field type="text" name="thumb" translate="1">Thumb</field>

However, this is obviously creating the following error in Joomfish because the fields don't exist in the 'jos_fpss_slides' table:
No valid database connection: DB function failed with error number 1054
Unknown column 'c.path' in 'field list' SQL=SELECT c.id, c.title, c.custom, c.text, c.tagline, c.path, c.path_type, c.thumb, jfc.id as jfc_id, jfc.value as titleTranslation, jfc.modified as lastchanged, jfc.published as published, jfc.language_id, jfl.title as language, jfc.reference_id as jfc_refid FROM jos_fpss_slides as c LEFT JOIN jos_jf_content as jfc ON c.id=jfc.reference_id AND jfc.reference_field='title' AND jfc.reference_table='fpss_slides' AND jfc.language_id=3 LEFT JOIN jos_languages as jfl ON jfc.language_id=jfl.lang_id ORDER BY c.title LIMIT 0, 20


So, the question in short :) is please can someone help me translate images for slides in Joomfish?

Thanks in advance.

I need to read the extra fields in onBeforeK2Save because I have to set the $item->title. The $item->extra_fields is NULL. So far, I can only read the extra fields from the $_POST and there the names are K2ExtraField_1, K2ExtraField_2, etc., which is not useful in trying to identify them.

What I basically want to do is something like this:
That's it.

I just found out the X in K2ExtraFields_X is the ID. For some reason the extra fields, though entered in a completely different order, were now ordered in ID order, so I thought they were order numbers and not IDs. Although a key would still be better than an ID (DATE, HOUR, and MINUTE instead of 3, 1, and 2), I can now identify the extra fields.

Still, I don't know why it's called $item->extraFields in the template and ->extra_fields in the onBeforeK2Save, and why the latter is NULL.

Hello,

I've been trying and trying but cannot get it to work. I hope someone can give some useful clues here.

I want people to enter calendar events: date, hour, minute, description. Nothing more. So I hide title, alias, publish up, publish down, category.

I have a template override (/templates/MYTEMPLATE/html/com_k2/MYSUBTEMPLATE/itemform.php) to hide all but the few extra fields. As far as I can tell, I have to use this:
And when I have all fields in the $efs array, I do stuff like this:
Then, in /plugins/k2/MYPLUGIN/myplugin.php, function onBeforeK2Save, I only get &$item and $isNew. The $_POST has K2ExtraField_1 etc. How do I get my definition of extra fields here? Or is the order the only way? How can I use something like K2ExtraField_Datum?

If I do that myself, I have to generate the inputs myself completely, making the extra field type useless. And I bet the extra fields will not be filled correctly.

Thanks!
Jerry

Hi
Oh my gosh. So easy. Thanks for this tip.

Greetings

Hi. Click on order to sort by this column. Then you can reorder.

Hi everybody
I'm an absolute K2 newbie and trying my first steps.
Created some extra fields. But now I'd like to reorder them in the admin panel. which does not seem possible. The sorting arrows as well as the number fields are disabled.



Why is that? How to change this behaviour?

Thanks for any hints.
