K2 integration

Hi Alex,

I am still struggling with what needs to be done to get the like button installed on all of our articles in K2 (v2.4.1 (Joomla v1.5.22)). I used/played with the settings in the plugin and that had no effect. So I thought maybe I needed to add a tag/attribute to my stylesheet but I haven’t had any luck with that either. I have looked over a variety of posts in the forum as well as your configuration guide and the blog post you sent me. I am still seeking an answer so ... I hate to be a bother but …. Thanks.

Well huh, looks like it's time to update our configuration guide.

We released the JFBCContent plugin earlier this month that should do exactly what you're looking for. It's in your downloads area, and lets you automatically add a Like button and/or Comment box to any article with a few different configuration options.

For more information, see our blog post about it. We'll get on the guide shortly and the next rev of JFBConnect will look for this plugin in the Overview page where we check if things are configured right.

Hope this helps!

Hi Alex,

I have gotten the various parts of JFBC working and have a question. Can we have the like button auto publish on every article new and old? We currently have about 2-300 articles on our site and I don’t want to do this manually. I finished the JFBConnect 3.0 Configuration Guide and it only explains how to inset the tags manually.

Thanks for getting back to me. I was able to figure out a way to get the like button installed on all of my articles without a K2 plugin. As it turns out K2 has a feature that lets you paste code right from facebook. It is found in the K2 parameters which is in the upper right hand corner. then shcrol about halfway down and paste your code in the social setting "social code" field. So it will work without a plugin.

K2 also offers share functionality which is enabled by going to the K2 dashboard, select categories, then select a particular category you want it on. After selecting that you need to find the "Item view options". Scroll down and enable "share social links" that option So you might not need to invest the time into developing the K2 plugin but your plugin may allow for better feature placement, control and possible the reporting feature you mentioned might be coming out soon.

Thanks for the great product and support. Cheers

Are there any news on getting a K2 integration built in?

I have a new website dev.volontarresor.se/vem-aer-du/45 and I get like button and comments on Joomla native articles.. But not any K2 articles like: dev.volontarresor.se/component/k2/item/38-indien-kort

Perhaps someone has a suggestion on how to implement jfbconnect with k2 through hacks? or is native k2 support planned any time soon?

Just an FYI on this, you can add the like or comments to your K2 template, that way they are automatically inserted.

Cheers,

Rich

Rich,
How can I do this?
What needs to be inserted and where, please.
I really need to have this on my website, all articles are on K2.
Thank you very much.

Are the guidelines for adding Like / Send button and Comment box to K2 items already available?
