No read more button in K2 category view

Hi, I am using Joomla 3.3.6, K2 2.6.9 and your great News 2 template. I like it a lot, but in category view in K2 I found that the read more button is missing. In my last template (although it was not that impressive) this button was there. I want it back. Would you give me an advice. Here is a link: http://www.zdravduh.com/2011-11-14-08-5 ... 4-09-05-51

Hi

I've added this code to /html/com_k2/templates/default/category_item.php

Code: Select all

   <?php if ($this->item->params->get('catItemReadMore')): ?>
   <!-- Item "read more..." link -->
   <div class="catItemReadMore">
      <a class="k2ReadMore" href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>">
         <?php echo JText::_('K2_READ_MORE'); ?>
      </a>
   </div>
   <?php endif; ?>

   <div class="clr"></div>


Thank you. That was really good. Could you tell me how to change the read more text label - I mean this "Продължава..." to be somthing else and I need upper case and change of colour.
Sorry if that is too much to ask.

Hi

Look for a "Продължава" word in k2.ini language file. I do not know which one You are using. Or use language override in joomla languages options for tag "K2_READ_MORE".

Here is a code You can use to style it a little:

Code: Select all

a.k2ReadMore {
color: red;
}

Thank you! You helped me so much with my website. Now I like how read more looks. In fact I couldn`t change the text, but I will keep looking. And Why do you think : a.k2ReadMore a: hover, doesn`t work?

Hi

It should be just:

Code: Select all

a.k2ReadMore:hover {

}


If setting K2_READ_MORE in ini file does not work than try joomla's override for each language. This is the last place considered by joomla, so should override anything.

Thanks

You are the best! It works perfectly
I mean the language override thing

Hi

Great to hear that. Glad I could help

I see you are really good so may I ask you to help me with something else. I can`t handle creating new module position. I try with the help of documentation: https://www.gavick.com/documentation/jo ... e-position. I followed all the 3 steps and created top_nav position, but it just does not appear. I don`t know why.

Hi

You have hit Enter in the middle of the line loading module. I removed it and looks like it's working ok now.

Thank you I asked one of your coligues like a mounth ago to help me with this, but he can`t handle it with Control Panel and says he needs ftp access - I gave him and he still says he can`t get in my sites` documents.

You are really the best!!! Thank you so much!!!

May I have one more advice. I need to put some links at that module. And I would like to have less space between it and website`s logo. Is this fixable or not?

Hi

???...but Control Panel works for FTP as well. Same host, user and pass. He must never tried that

New position is not flexible yet. It needs some styling, so put the links there and tell me how You want this to look like.

Yes, I know and I have phoca commander installed as well.
Ok I put the links there. I just want them as close as possible to the logo, without the gap that appears between them.

Please add this code to override.css and make sure override is enabled in template settings.

Code: Select all

.newstyle .box {
padding: 0;
}

.newstyle .box p {
    float: left;
    margin: 10px 0 -30px;
}


Thanks a lot! This is a great help you offer here

Hi

No problem. Glad I could help

Hi
I have also added this code, "viw items" is well displaying but th "view items" button is not well alligned at the bottom of the section, as you can see on the pre-prod site http://eca2.mes-services.biz/index.php/ ... mentations

seams that there are no div tag under intro text for the redmore section

any ideas ?

thx

Hi

I've added this code to /html/com_k2/templates/default/category_item.php

Code: Select all

   <?php if ($this->item->params->get('catItemReadMore')): ?>
   <!-- Item "read more..." link -->
   <div class="catItemReadMore">
      <a class="k2ReadMore" href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>">
         <?php echo JText::_('K2_READ_MORE'); ?>
      </a>
   </div>
   <?php endif; ?>

   <div class="clr"></div>


Hi

Indeed that's an odd issue. I can see only one description does not have a <p></p> around text. Have You used an editor while writing this description ? Editor is putting this by itself.

Thank you very much !!!!

can I do this for article (not for K2) my url is sheni.me

Hi

For regular joola article a code for read more is:

Code: Select all

<?php if ($params->get('show_readmore') && $this->item->readmore) :
   if ($params->get('access-view')) :
      $link = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($this->item->slug, $this->item->catid, $this->item->language));
   else :
      $menu = JFactory::getApplication()->getMenu();
      $active = $menu->getActive();
      $itemId = $active->id;
      $link1 = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_users&view=login&Itemid=' . $itemId);
      $returnURL = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($this->item->slug, $this->item->catid, $this->item->language));
      $link = new JUri($link1);
      $link->setVar('return', base64_encode($returnURL));
   endif; ?>

   <?php echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.content.readmore', array('item' => $this->item, 'params' => $params, 'link' => $link)); ?>

<?php endif; ?>
