K2 Categories Columns Problem

Hi, I am using Music template with K2,

The poblem is easy Although I choose 2 column view
The categories seem one column

When I delete k2.css and try again it resolves
Where is the problem in k2.css?

Hi

Well... yes. That's because of the complexity of K2 style used on Music template.
Mostly because of the k2 article date position.

But you can try doing like this:
On Menu link that you use for K2 two columns > Page Display Options
add this class on "Page Class" textfield:

"[space]k2_2columns"

Enable override.css file and add this lines on it:

Code: Select all

#k2Container.k2_2columns .latestItemsContainer {float: left;width: 47%!important; }
#k2Container.k2_2columns .latestItemsContainer:first-child {margin-right: 50px!important; }
#k2Container.k2_2columns .latestItemsContainer + .latestItemsContainer {float: right}


The result show be something like this:

Hope this could help.

Hi

Your problem is different.
Try adding this lines on override.css file:

Code: Select all

#k2Container .subCategoryContainer { float:left; }
#k2Container .subCategory {margin: 4px 12px 12px 0;}
#k2Container .catItemContent {margin: 0 22px 0 11px}


Cheers

Hi Bison,

You've asked me to chime in this topic to help but I don't understand the problem you've got, it'd be better if you could describe it specifically or give me a screenshot with annotations to show what are remaining that need to solve otherwise I will leave this to my fellow @Seichinha to continue helping you out as he knows this best.

Thanks,

Hi

I was also asked to join discussion

Can You please tell me if You have made any changes to the template ? Because I can clearly see a validation issue. Please check a content of articles or k2 category description and check if all HTML tags are being closed propperly.

Hi

Sorry about the delay.
I see it working well...

but please update Music template files to latest version.
If you still have any problem with k2 subcategories columns layout, please try removing the previous code added on override.css file and add only this line:

Code: Select all

.subCategoryContainer {float: left}

What i do see in your page is the right column blocking full k2 component width. You probably have something publish it on.

Hi

Saichinha is right. I can see a javascript code loaded in right column. Most probably for some google adds.

I have a similar problem in Gk Hotel...

How can I put the news items in 2 columns?
Thanks,

Hi

Columns has been disabled in category layout if You want to bring it back You will have to rename /html/com_k2/templates/default/category.php to _category.php

THanks, it worked..
But: it didn't work out the way I figured. Now I have to find a way to minimize the count of news items to 3 or 4. I mean: to set a limit of three to four newsitems to show under the 'K2 Category menu-item'. You understand? I presume I have to start another feed though...
But thanks again!

Hi

No. I'm sorry I do not understand, but if You are going to use the same number of columns every time than revert this changes back to as it was and tell me the url to the page with example. I'll try to come up with code to have columns in this layout.
