Joomla + K2 Customization: Adding Descriptions to Tags

Written by

One of the frustrations I've encountered with the K2 extension for Joomla is the lack of a "description" when editing tags.  It allows for a description under categories, not tags.  What gives?

Here is the solution:

Procedure:

1. Open phpMyAdmin and add a new column to your k2_tags table

  • Name tag_desc
  • Type mediumtext
  • Collation utf8_general_ci
  • Attributes (empty)
  • Null Yes
  • Default NULL

2.  Modify Files:

Please refer to my K2 project fork on GitHub


When you're done, the tag description will be visible on the front end like this:
