I would like to use JA Healthcare and purchase JA k2 filter component for creating a jobs-link-sharing website, now before that i had three questions i hope i can have a good solution suggested:

1. How to create a category-list for K2 categories just like the category-list JA Healthcare has under Joomla Pages menu >> Category List submenu for Joomla articles? Because i would like to create a job listing website to list all the recent jobs (which are added so far as K2 items) and mentioned at least Job-Title, Job-Location, Employer-Name, Job-Expiration-Date (that are 4 K2 Extra fields) in the list related to any job. As a sample look at Picture-1 attached file.

2. How to just show 4 of K 2 Extra Fields in category-listing view while i have 10 Extra Fields in each item in K2?

3. I am bale to show/hide start publishing and modify publishing dates of a K2 item but i would like to show/hide the item’s finish publishing date as well, to show an item’s expiration date in the front it. How to do this?

I hope i can have a better solution or suggestion. Thanks in advance for your support.

Hi,

1. How to create a category-list for K2 categories just like the category-list JA Healthcare has under Joomla Pages menu >> Category List submenu for Joomla articles?

K2 doesn’t have the style for this Layout, if you want it for your site, you will need to do a bit of custom work and change setting to hide Read more text and Image of item.

1. How to just show 4 of K 2 Extra Fields in category-listing view while i have 10 Extra Fields in each item in K2?

Go to file:

ja_healthcare\html\com_k2\doctors\category_item.php

Find

<?php if($this->item->params->get('catItemExtraFields') && count($this->item->extra_fields)): ?>
      <!-- Item extra fields -->
      <div class="catItemExtraFields">
        <ul>
            <?php foreach ($this->item->extra_fields as $key=>$extraField): ?>
            <?php if($extraField->value != ''): ?>
            <li class="<?php echo ($key%2) ? "odd" : "even"; ?> type<?php echo ucfirst($extraField->type); ?> group<?php echo $extraField->group; ?>">
                <?php if($extraField->type == 'header'): ?>
                <h4 class="catItemExtraFieldsHeader"><?php echo $extraField->name; ?></h4>
                <?php else: ?>
                <span class="catItemExtraFieldsLabel"><?php echo $extraField->name; ?></span>
                <span class="catItemExtraFieldsValue"><?php echo $extraField->value; ?></span>
                <?php endif; ?>
            </li>
            <?php endif; ?>
            <?php endforeach; ?>
            </ul>
        <div class="clr"></div>
      </div>
      <?php endif; ?>

Change code:

<?php else: ?>
                <span class="catItemExtraFieldsLabel"><?php echo $extraField->name; ?></span>
                <span class="catItemExtraFieldsValue"><?php echo $extraField->value; ?></span>
                <?php endif; ?>

to

<?php else: ?>
<?php if($extraField->alias!='alias of extra field you want to eliminate'):?>
    <span class="catItemExtraFieldsLabel"><?php echo $extraField->name; ?></span>
                <span class="catItemExtraFieldsValue"><?php echo $extraField->value; ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

1. I am bale to show/hide start publishing and modify publishing dates of a K2 item but i would like to show/hide the item’s finish publishing date as well, to show an item’s expiration date in the front it. How to do this?

In order to show item’s expiration date , go to the file

ja_healthcare\html\com_k2\doctors\category_item.php

find

<div class="catItemHeader">
        <?php if($this->item->params->get('catItemDateCreated')): ?>
        <!-- Date created -->
        <span class="catItemDateCreated">
            <?php echo JHTML::_('date', $this->item->created , JText::_('K2_DATE_FORMAT_LC2')); ?>
        </span>
        <?php endif; ?>

add code

<div class="catItemHeader">
    <!-- Date created -->
    <span class="catItemDateCreated">
        <?php echo JHTML::_('date', $this->item->publish_down , JText::_('K2_DATE_FORMAT_LC2')); ?>
    </span>

In order to show item’s expiration date , go to the file

finish-publishing-date showed but there is an issue, when the finish-publishing-date cell is empty at the back end it still shows a default date "Mondy, 30 November -0001 00:00" for each item at the front end. The reason I think is that we do not have an if statement like the one we have with created-date parameter showing at your code above, but now when i want to create an if statement for publish-down parameter i don’t know what parameter should i get or call inside the if statement?

And as you can look at the attached file, three is two red circles , showing that you have the option to either show or hide, the created-date and the modified-date of an item from the back end, now here i would like the finish publishing date option to be added as well, so that i can manage either to show or hide the finish publishing date of an item .

Hi,

If you want to add the finish publishing date option, I afraid you have to add it yourself or ask the developer of K2 help you to add it.

I only help you how to show the the finish publishing date on front-end, the code I suggest is different, I change $this->item->created to $this->item->publish_down

Okay, but what about that default value ‘Mondy, 30 November -0001 00:00‘ showing up even their is no finish publishing date set to an item. When there is no publishing date set to an item it should not show any date, right?

I mean for created date there is an if code line <?php if($this->item->params->get('catItemDateCreated')): ?> to check if there is a created date through the ‘catItemDateCreated‘ parameter, what parameter should i use to check if the finish publishing date for an item is available to be showed out.

Hi,
Just change the code I suggest you to this:

    <div class="catItemHeader">
            <?php if($this->item->publish_down != '0000-00-00 00:00:00'): ?>
            <!-- Date created -->
            <span class="catItemDateCreated">
                <?php echo JHTML::_('date', $this->item->publish_down , JText::_('K2_DATE_FORMAT_LC2')); ?>
            </span>
            <?php endif; ?>
