K2 Split Content

K2 is an incredibly powerful and flexible extension that allows for stunning control of your Joomla content. This module is based on the standard K2 content display module. Rather than display all items with a category/tag, this module displays content that is associated with the currently viewed K2 item.

This means that there is no need to create or modify a K2 template to be able to display item content differently. You can position selected K2 content in a module position rather than in the content area. The module supports multiple instances on a single page which means you can now display selected content wherever you want on the page.

Version 2.0.3

Released: 10^th March 2012

Added: Author name appears under Avatar
Added: Author text "Written By" is optional
Added: Additional Fields title is optional
Added: Made Additional Field title BOLD
Fixed: Rename fields in XML for Additional Fields to work (NOTE: You MUST edit and save the module after installing this update for the changes to take effect)

Fixed: Wrong link used in Attachments section

Version 2.0.1

Released: 2^nd March 2012

Interesting. I didn't make any changes that should have effected the video section ... hmmm, ah well, I ain't knocking it if it's fixed.
Edit k2_split_conten t/tmpl/Default/ default.php and delete line 97 (It should be
)

That will fix it.

Hi Mark,

Finally the missing module :)

Great Job, it works perfectly. I just submitted a ticket with a couple of suggestions to enhance: Add the related item's image and get rid of the original title since the module has its own title.

Thanks very much

Eyal

Mark,

You are an angel :)
After such a long frustrating attempt to get something like this, it is great to finally being able to use such a great module.
I just opened a ticket with a couple of suggestions to enhance the module. mostly adding the related item's image and get rid of the K2 original title since the module has its own title.

Great Job!

Hello,

I'm not sure how this module works. I enabled it and used
{loadposition} tag.

But the module just loads content of extra fields.

how could I choose what gets loaded ?

Hi Mark.

This is a great module. I really appriciate your development of this one. It's of great use together with K2. It makes K2 so much more complete.

I would suggest some additions to upcoming releases.
Most important is to have the option to show image gallery. I would also like to se the option to show ratings.
Another great feature would be the option to hide/show "additional info" when choosing to show extra fields.

Thanks again - it's great!
