CM K2 Inline is a Joomla! component helping you customize K2 component’s back-end item list and edit extra field inline.

K2 is the popular powerful content extension for Joomla with CCK-like (content construction kit) features. Every item of K2 can be extended by extra fields. If the most important part of your K2 content is extra fields then you would find it difficult to modify your K2 items. You need to go to item list, click an item, click Extra Fields tab, modify extra fields, save the item, go back to the list, click an item, and so on... It is also difficult for you to compare the extra field values of your K2 items. You can't open 10 browser tabs to check and compare 10 items.

CMK2Inline is designed to help you on this - manage extra fields in K2 with ease.

[USER NOTE: PLEASE REMOVE THIS EXTENSION]

The plugin will use Extra Field of K2 component to make content with tabs. You can also select the fields to make with tabs like below image. You can place the tabs above item text, below item text, below introtext or use item text as a tab. You can also use {extrafieldtab/} code into anywhere item text you want to place the tabs.

FAQ from free extension:

1. Editor is not visible for all extra fields, instead only first field shows editor.

Sometimes K2 having some problems with the WYSIWYG editor type. We recommend use JCE editor

2. It would be wonderful if 'Display type' can be chosen in category instead of item. With a couple of hundred items it's painful to edit every item and choose the Display type. Using the 'plugin params' kinda limiting. You are limited to use same Display type throughout your website.

Yes, since the commercial version, we have provide a inherit setting of items from category.

3. Will content plugins function within tabs?

Yes, since the commercial version, we have provide that.

4. Can I override HTML Tab?

It is possible, We invite you to look at the file plugins/k2/extrafieldtab/layout/default.php for the default layout. To override it, you have to create your layout from template/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/k2/plg_extrafieldtab/default.php More
