K2 | The powerful content extension for Joomla! developed by JoomlaWorks

If you have an image type extra field and need to display a link directly to the image you must strip the default code that K2 uses to insert the image into it's foreach loop. You can insert this directly into your item.php override file.

<?php
$var = $this->item->extraFields->Image->value ;    
$var = preg_replace('/<img src="/',"",$var);
$var = preg_replace('/" alt="Image" \>/'," ",$var);
echo '<a href="' . $var . "TextOfLink" . "</a>" ;
?> More

The fully responsive Bang2Joom Alfheim Image Gallery PRO module takes the power of the LITE version, with some attractive additions. The user not only has a tight control over the flow of images filtered by K2 tags, but has additional options to choose in how these images appear to the viewer. This module is fully functional with Joomla versions 2.5 and 3.0.

This PRO version, like the LITE version, is very simple and effective, with super-easy installation and use! You may choose the images to be inherited from K2 items, K2 tags or even a custom folder on your server.

Images can be cropped and resized, with or without aspect ratio. The module comes default with jquery-plugin enabled, but this can be disabled in the backend.

• Image Source: K2 Categories, K2 Tags, Joomla Folder
• Thumbnails setting
• Slider settings
• Item parts ordering, etc.

What makes this module PRO is how the images appear to the user. On image click, it opens the original image in a light box with all thumnails beneath it. They take the appearance of a bunch of photos allowing you to flip or swipe through them as you would in real life. The flipping effect looks like ebay's iPad application and can be used on all platforms, with amazing effect on touchscreens.

Adminstrators also have the additinoal option to choose the way the module displays the image tags - either with Tag Cloud or Tag Slider. Images can also be shared to the major social networking sites.

IAKI (short for Import As K2 Image) allows you to use Joomla! article images (from imported Joomla! content) as K2 images. So you can make use of the options in K2 for sizing and showing/hiding images on demand per category, item or other view.

This plugin is useful after you have imported Joomla! articles into K2, where images used to exist inside the content blocks (introtext and/or fulltext). IAKI will fetch the first image from the article body (usually your main image) and assign it to the image positions used by K2 in all the K2 views (templates). That means you can now control these images as if they were K2 images.

If for some reason you want to move your old article images into a new folder (perhaps away from /images or /images/stories) e.g. so you clean up your folders, but you don't want to re-edit all your articles (in K2), you can simply move the images to the new folder and specify this folder in the plugin parameters, along with the old path. So if we wanted to move all images e.g. from "images/stories/blog" to "images/archive/blog", we would physically moved the images first and then specify these 2 paths in the plugin parameters.

Version 1.0 is for Joomla! 1.5 and Version 2.0 is for Joomla! 2.5 or later.

Please note that this plugin will not dynamically resize your Joomla! article images as K2 images. The "resize" is done using HTML attributes on the K2 <img /> tag that is output. We plan to add resize options in a later version of the plugin. More
