Product Description:

WHAT IS K2?

K2 is a content construction component (similar to CCK for those acquainted with Drupal), which lets you easily create any content type for your Joomla! website. Using K2, you can transform your Joomla! website to a news/magazine site with author blogs, product catalogs, work portfolio, knowledge base, download/document manager, directory listing, event listing and more, all this bundled under one component, accompanied by a super module!

FEATURES

K2 is extensible with additional fields to its base content form. That means you can add as many content fields as you want and create category-specific content items, e.g. article, blog post, product page, directory listing.

K2 offers as standard:
- nested-level categories (no section/category restrictions)
- commenting, integrated with reCaptcha
- tags
- item thumbnail and main image (useful for articles/catalogs)
- image galleries
- videos
- attachments
- user profiles (author blogs)
- ajax-based frontend editing
...and more!

K2 fully supports the Joomla! API, which means all Joomla! plugins will function properly within the component, either in the frontend or backend.

See some screenshots below:

REQUIREMENTS - LICENSE

K2 has been developed for Joomla! 1.5 only, as it takes advantage of the MVC features of 1.5's API. That means flexible templating for designers and total separation of data and content layout.

If you wanna utilize the built-in gallery and video features, you need to install Simple Image Gallery (free or Pro version) 2.0 and AllVideos 2.5.4 (free), both already provided by JoomlaWorks.

K2 is PHP 5.2.3+ compatible only, while in this beta stage. The stable release, estimated to come in around 1 month will be fully PHP 4 and 5 compatible.

K2 is developed by JoomlaWorks and licensed under the GNU/GPL v2 license.

WHAT NEXT?

Try K2 out! You'll discover a whole new way of creating websites with Joomla! 1.5! K2 is a full com_content (Joomla! core content component) replacement, in the sense that it provides you with the tools to start building a flexible and properly organized website without the need to use core Joomla! articles.

Moreover? You no longer need a dozen of components and even more modules to do things like run a news site or a blog. Drupal and Wordpress have certainly met their match now! ;)

Stay tuned at http://www.joomlaworks.gr and the official K2 site at http://k2.joomlaworks.gr for more updates.

Demo site and forum are up already, with full K2 documentation coming soon.
