Video Tutorial
Video tutorial on how to use this extension, it does not include testing the installation parameters.
1. The "radio buttons" extra field doesn't transfer the values in the additional field, e.g., "yes" or "no," and only enters certain values into the #__fields_values database.
2. The "textarea" extra field with the "Use editor" option checked converts to "textarea" when it should be "editor."
3. In K2, the extra field group is assigned in the category. In Joomla Articles, the category is assigned in the extra field. It would be nice if this were automatically completed. A checkbox could be added if someone doesn't want this option.
