- map using the excellent Googlemaps Plugin
- date/datetime using Joomla's widget
- pre-configured validated input fields for alpha, alphanum, number, real, integer, email, url
- if those are not enough use your own regular expression
- construct a list of the above field types and you can limit the number of elements in the list
- a list can be conditioned, meaning one would be able to provide other than the value a description of the value stated (ex. if you have a price field with a list of 3 values and the varying prices have a number of conditions associated, such as, 1 night: 150USD, > 1night but < 1week: 120USD, > 1 week: 100USD)
- list conditions can be simple text fields or select lists (values of which you will provide)
Since K2 doesn't provide any way of extending its repertoire of extra fields the way k2fields is implemented is by using existing extra field types to provide the new ones. I developed a syntax for how the name should be written and by developing some JS code for parsing and generating the UI and also mangle the user data, and corresponding manipulation is done on the server side by the plugin.
Planned additions are:
- table
- image/gallery
Support, comment, bug issues are all welcome through my contacts.
Changes (change log on site)
Pretty good plugin to add some more functions to K2 Extra Fields. There should be more documentation on exactly how to use each one of the options. For example, I had to read the code to figure out how to specify the field for the Google Map.
Also, maybe the optional Google Map plugin is changed, because This K2 extra Fields plugin gives an error message saying that the Google map plugin is not installed (even though it is installed and enabled). The problem is that this plugin is looking for the Google map plugin in the content directory when it is actually in the system directory.
Since there is no forum, hopefully this may helps someone else that has this issue.

I have used the K2Fields in one of my website, It was really awesome and support is also excellent.
This extension greatly increases the usefulness of the K2 extra fields feature.
I used it for the Google Map plugin but I can see this plugin has some features that really extend the use of extra fields.
I had a syntax error in naming the extra field (didn't read instructions properly) that was very quickly addressed by Gobezu when I contacted him for support through the Contact form on his website.
Save yourself some time & read the syntax instructions for naming the k2 extra field that is in the first few lines of the plugin's Usage instructions.
Need K2 extra fields with fancy features? This plugin can probably handle what you need!
I just love this plugin.
Thank You Gobezu!
