Hi,

I'm wanting to display a gallery in the K2 tag layout.
Unfortunately there are no parameters to display a gallery in the tag layout, and inserting  <?php echo $item->gallery; ?> into the tag.php file only displays the following: {gallery}36{/gallery} (I'm assuming "36" was the ID number of the gallery associated with that particular item).

Anyone savvy enough with PHP to be able to tell me how I can achive this in the tag.php file?

Thanks

You may use SIG PRO either by using the K2 gallery tab in each K2 item or by writing SIG PRO tags inside joomla! articles content area or K2 items.

yes I understand that is how it works "straight out of the box" Katia, but I'm needing to use it in a slightly unconventional way - and I know it can be done. This forum is as good a place as any to discuss how an override could be written. All for the greater good of the plugin..  ;)

Well, I guess I'll have to work out how to do a database query for this problem..

It's actually a real shame that it doesn't display in a K2 Tag layout. perhaps that is something that could be brought into future versions of this plugin and K2.

This kind of problem is due to the order of plugin execution.

As far as I can see (I'm in J!1.15.20):

The replacement of the "{gallery}...{/gallery}" is done by the SIG plugin.
Th execution of the plugin is triggered by events.
Example from com_k2/item.php:
The problem is that tag.php doesn't trigger any event and thus doesn't trigger the SIG plugin.
The translation of "{gallery}...{/gallery}" to the real gallery doesn't occur.

Solutions: I would try to trigger the right event in the tag.php file.
Attention: this may lead to nasty effects. Thus to be tested.
