I haven't had the need to move things around in the K2 template. What I usually do is turn on/off whatever I need in the item view and item in category view settings. I've used CSS once to move things around a little bit.
But it would be nice to have a visual scheme of the K2 template where we could drag things around and have it our way. 2012/1/5 David Roth <davidalanr...@gmail.com> > I've been using Joomla for years now, but until recently I had not focused > on K2. > > A few things which are wonderful about K2. First of all, the extra fields > which helps to add additional fields to K2 Item. I think the use of > sub-categories is also good. > > Some things make me uncomfortable and I wanted to share those here to see > how others might be handling them. There is the Joomla template and then > there is the K2 template. The K2 template controls that part of the webpage > like the body of it, for lack of a better term while the Joomla template > handles the rest. So the K2 template for a K2 item is like being able to > have your own template for each Joomla article. This sounds amazingly > flexible but with this comes what I find to be a disconnect and enter into > a very un-Joomla-like area. If you don't like the layout of the K2 template > such as it's order on the sections on the page page, you have to resort to > editing a PHP program (item.php) in order to change this. K2 doesn't have > modules like Joomla does for the templates so you can't go in as > administrator and change the ordering of the modules because there are no > modules. > > I started to wonder if there might be a K2 Template Manager which might do > what the Template Manager does for Joomla. I've seen one online but I don't > think it allows ordering of the K2 part of the page unless I missed > something. After having looked over the item.php code this past week it > doesn't look like there is any other way to change the order of what is on > the page than to edit item.php itself. I've also not been able to find the > kind of documentation on K2 templates like there is for Joomla templates. > > Even with Joomla templates no programming is required to move modules > around on the page such as top, bottom, etc. How are people managing this > with K2? Is there a better way? > > David Roth > > _______________________________________________ > New York PHP SIG: Joomla!
