Hi does anyone know what settings i need to do to get the k2 extension to look like the world news demo in position top1 where it has a picture and then articles at the side. I cannot seem to find the settings that are the same as the demo.

here is my site http://www.in2town.co.uk

That module is News Show Pro GK4 which is Gavick Pro Module. What you can do is install a local installation from quickstart and compare the active modules , plugins as well as module settings and apply them to your installation one at a time.

Edit: Also reheck article layout and link layout in news show pro gk4 module settings...

i cannot find this font overide, i have looked under font s in the main template and nothing there. also i have copied the layout as per the demo. the only difference is, for the top1 position they are using joomla articles and not k2 articles, does this mean there is something wrong with the k2 and that is why it is not showing the other articles. the picture shows but not the articles down the side

As for K2 articles instead of Joomla Articles , i suggest using Joomla Articles until you get the layout right then you can switch back to K2.

thanks for that. i have just tried a test of joomla articles and still only getting one article without the articles next to the main picture.
