Articles K2 view in boutique templare

I want to put a on page with the news. I tried to do with the form K2 but I notice the following problems:
The article appears in its entirety and not just a part and then read more ...
I would like to see the following display:
main article 1 column - secondary items in under 2 columns - in other articles in 2 or 3 columns
Unfortunately, I always show the items in a column one after the other.

Can you help? you have examples or instructions on how to set the page or K2 Boutique?
Thanks

Hi

This is a designed view for this template and is not supporting columns, but You cn always disable it by renaming /html/com_k2/templates/default/category.phpto /html/com_k2/templates/default/_category.php

Thank you. I have already made this change, but it does not work. I also would be enough to reduce the articles in setassa column and then ... read more.

Hi

The access You've send me is not working so I cannot check category settings for this problem.

Hi

I see what the problem is. Category settings are for Category layout only and You are using a Latest items layout which only can be configured for number of columns and rows. You need to change it in menu item settings and than configure number of columns and articles for primary, secondary, etc there (if more than one category is selected) or in this category settings.

Thank you.
Sorry if I ask too much, but I am a beginner ... where should I make changes?
Or if you want, since I gave you the access holes directly if you can.
Thank you very much

Hi

I think it will be better if You do this to learn. Please open joomla panel than MENUS->MAINMENU find News menu item and edit it. First field will be to select a type of a page under this menu option. Plese selects "Category" form K2 elements:

Thank you. I tried it and it works, but I do not stop the article. Appears "read more ..." but only at the end of the article and therefore is useless. You can resize the columns of the two articles side? The text is too close. thanks

Hi

To cut an article You should configure a category view to show "introtext". Next to this option You should be able to find a number of words to display.

All K2 category configuration can be found while editing informations about selected category.

Columns are divided equally, so You need to add a padding into css with this class:

Code: Select all

.catItemView {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #EEEEEE;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 10px 10px 40px;
}


I made view introtex to 150 words in Categories, but I always show full article...

Hi

Ok. I know what's going on now. You have not selected which part of an article is an introtext. So full article is displayed. You need to make a separation in each article with "Read more" line. It's to show which part is an article and which is it's shortage.

Thank you very much Now is OK!!
A last request. What is the name of the file .css where I put the script you sent me for the column width?

Hi

Please ude override.css file for any css modifications. Remember to allow using of this file in template settings in order for this file to be used on site.
