No "Read More" buttons

In this templates, adding a "read more" to a K2 item does not bring up a "read more" button in a category list. The settings are "read-more" button visible. You can test it on your own site:

Any idea's?
Appreciated

Hi

K2 doesn't work with a read more like regular joomla articles. Adding read more only tells K2 which part of the article is an intro and which a full text. Than a read more button has to be configured to show in k2 category configuration.

In K2 Category: Item view options in category listings, the 'Read more...' link is set to Show.
What needs to be doen to get the 'Read more...' link? Add PHP code?
Thanks

Hi

I can see now that K2 style was overriden so most of the element got removed to match the layout. Please add 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; ?>

Found it. For others struggling with this issue:
Place the code in:
/html/com_k2/templates/xxx/category_item.php
xxx = the template name.
If you use the "sponsors" template, the code should be added to:
/html/com_k2/templates/sponsors/category_item.php

I placed it within: <div class="events-content">:

Code: Select all

          <div class="events-content">
                    <?php if($this->item->params->get('catItemTitle')): ?>
                    <h3>
                              <?php if ($this->item->params->get('catItemTitleLinked')): ?>
                              <a href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>">
                              <?php
                  $title_data = explode('--', $this->item->title);
                  if(count($title_data) > 1) {
                     echo $title_data[0] . '<small>' . $title_data[1] . '</small>';
                  } else {
                     echo $title_data[0];
                  }
               ?>
                              </a>
                              <?php else: ?>
                              <?php
                  $title_data = explode('--', $this->item->title);

                     echo $title_data[0] . '<small>' . $title_data[1] . '</small>';
                  } else {
                     echo $title_data[0];
                  }
               ?>
                              <?php endif; ?>
                    </h3>
                    <?php endif; ?>
                    <?php echo $this->item->event->AfterDisplayTitle; ?> <?php echo $this->item->event->K2AfterDisplayTitle; ?>
                    <?php if($this->item->params->get('catItemIntroText')): ?>
                    <?php echo $this->item->introtext; ?>
                    <?php if(isset($this->item->editLink)): ?>
                    <a class="catItemEditLink modal" rel="{handler:'iframe',size:{x:990,y:550}}" href="<?php echo $this->item->editLink; ?>"> <?php echo JText::_('K2_EDIT_ITEM'); ?> </a>
                    <?php endif; ?>
                    <?php endif; ?>
                    <?php if ($this->item->params->get('catItemReadMore')): ?>
                    <!-- Item "read more..." link -->
                    <div class="catItemReadMore">
