Move "ItemAsideInfo" position

Hello, I am using this template, and I would like to "move" the itemAsideInfo position (where the print, email links are shown) from the left of the article to "above" the title / image of the article... and when moved, move the entire article to the left so it can occupy the "100%" of the position width... can this be achieved? Any help of how I can do it?
Thanks in advance.

You will need to edit file:
/templates/gk_simplicity/html/com_k2/templates/default/item.php

and move entire block starting in line 132 and ending in line 211

Code: Select all

         </li>
         <?php endif; ?>
      </ul>
      <?php endif; ?>

just after line 23 (indicated by "!!!MOVE ENTIRE BLOCK TO THIS PLACE!!!"):

Code: Select all

   <a class="itemEditLink modal" rel="{handler:'iframe',size:{x:990,y:550}}" href="<?php echo $this->item->editLink; ?>"><?php echo JText::_('K2_EDIT_ITEM'); ?></a>
   <?php endif; ?>
!!!MOVE ENTIRE BLOCK TO THIS PLACE!!!
   <div class="itemBody<?php if(



With that change You can enable override.css in theme settings and edit the file:
/templates/gk_simplicity/css/override.css adding at its end:

Code: Select all

.itemView .itemBody.containsItemInfo, .itemView .itemOtherElements.containsItemInfo, .itemView .itemListView .itemBlock.containsItemInfo {margin: 0px;}
.itemView article aside {float: none;}
.itemView .itemAsideInfo {position: relative}


But this is just a beginning and workd mostly for single article. If You would like to style also category index, tag index, blog index, You need to do similar changes also in:
/templates/gk_simplicity/html/com_k2/templates/default/category_item.php
/templates/gk_simplicity/html/com_k2/templates/default/user.php

so there is a lot of work, not mention making news styles for aside element so it would look vertically not horizontally.

Hi Cyberek, thanks for your quick answer... just one clarification, this is for a single K2 article right? I was trying to achive the same thing for a content (joomla) article, is the file the same?
Thanks in advance, again.

Yep, the solution is for single k2 article.
Files You need to check beside that one are:
/templates/gk_simplicity/html/com_k2/templates/default/category_item.php
/templates/gk_simplicity/html/com_k2/templates/default/user.php
/templates/gk_simplicity/html/com_content/article/default.php
