I would like to create a blog for 2 users in Fin Bisiness Template (made from Quicksstart package in Joomla 2.5) and plan that all posts of them would be placed in chronological order. The menu item Blog is in main menu. When I clcik Blog menu item in Menu Manager and then click select "Select a Menu Item Type" window opens. I have only two options for blog there under the heading K2:
1.User page (blog)
2.Latest items from (one ore more) users and categories.

The layout in user page option is ok, but the problem is I need 2 bloggers to post their articles. If I choose "Latest items ...." the posts of bloggger A are shown in chronological order, then all posts of blogger B.
That is no good - I need 2 blogger's posts in chronological order. How can I make the blog page for 2 users and make it in chronological order?

Actually I want to make something similar to k2 team blog: http://getk2.org/blog

Why don't you just create a new category and call it "blog" and have 2 users post in that category and create a link in main menu to "blog" category. Then you can order items as you wish and change its design , number of columns, number of articles etc...

See this link from our demo page , Main Menu > K2 > Categories. Although demo is using 2 columns you can change it to 1.
Code: Select all

Well, it is my fault I had to mention that we want to have several categories for 2 users. But how have you managed to have several authors and several categories in your magazine?

I am not 100 percent sure on our magazine but you can achieve what you want by creating a menu item K2 > Latest items from (one or more) users or categories , then on the right, content source - categories ,set column to 1 , select your users ( you can select multiple ) and categories ( you can select multiple ) and then hide categories details such as title, description and image etc.
