I am wondering how to add extended classes such as Facebook or video for YouTube automatically each time that an item is retrieved and added ?

And for YouTube I have also noticed that the summary is not enclosed in p tags making that intro text is not correctly limited to 50 characters. Is there any way to cope with this ?

Thanks

Hi Activha

To enhance this request I would like to see extended class options related to an item being hot or not (example double grid or sticky).

Thanks in advance.

Hi tony, you can. Just type item-hot or item-new as the extended class option like you would for double-grid or sticky.

I think what he meant is to have those extended class parameters AUTOMATICALLY applied to articles that fulfill certain conditions such as having a certain number of hits.. I think that’s a great suggestion. Individually assigning those extended class parameters such as grid width is not practical. It defeats the purpose of importing the articles via a feeder and then opening them one by one to add those extended class parameters such as grid-width, background colour, hot, sticky etc.

That can be done easily as well which is how item-hot is being applied to articles that have reached a certain hit. The code can be easily modified / reproduced as per your needs. The only problem is what are the conditions you wish to trigger?

1. When an article is less than x number of days old, I want it to have the “New” tag.
2. For each available background colour (dark,hilite etc), I want to be able to select the categories to which articles I want the colour to be applied on the wall, as well as a default colour.
3. For each special grid width (double, triple), I want to be able to select the categories to which articles I want the grid width to be applied on the wall.

What you want can be done very easily and is no more than a few lines of php code. Modification of the template file is however required for either Joomla / K2 but since its a template overwrite, it shouldn’t be considered as a Joomla hack.

Just open blog_item.php(Joomla) or category_item.php(K2) and look at how the button item-hot is added for example. If its too hard for you, then you will need to hire some freelancer to do it for you. The cost I believe should be very reasonable since tbh… its really just no more than a few lines of code and some understanding of how the css styles are added to content.

And where do I find those files?
