K2 is a content component for Joomla websites that allows custom content types and features like those in Drupal and WordPress, transforming a site into a news site, product catalog, or other use. It features categories, comments, tags, images, user profiles, and an ACL system. K2 addresses Joomla's lack of flexibility and social features compared to Drupal and WordPress.

- 1. presentation by Fotis Evangelou (JoomlaWorks) www.joomlaworks.gr Joomla!Days Netherlands - 12 & 13 June 2009
- 2. What is K2? K2 is a content construction component, which lets you create custom content types (items) for your Joomla! Website. It's like core Joomla! articles thrown into the mixer with Drupal's CCK and Wordpress blogging features. www.joomlaworks.gr
- 3. What can I do with K2? K2 can transform your Joomla! website into: • a news site with author blogs • product catalog • work portfolio • knowledge base • download/document manager • directory listing • event listing and more... all bundled under one component! www.joomlaworks.gr
- 4. Basic K2 features (1/2) • nested-level categories • comments system • tags • "extra fields" system to extend item elements (a la CCK) • distinct item image per item • distinct item image gallery • distinct item video • attachments www.joomlaworks.gr
- 5. Basic K2 features (2/2) • user profiles/blogs • versatile ACL system • ajax-based front-end editing • powerful plugin system to extend item, category and user forms www.joomlaworks.gr
- 6. Why K2? 1. Joomla! has been far behind other competing CMSs like Drupal and WordPress in terms of social features and flexibility (categorization, ACL, expansion etc.) 2. Joomla! 1.0 and 1.5 are practically the same in features for the end-user 3. Slow development cycle for Joomla! - which further strengthens point 1. www.joomlaworks.gr
