K2

Description:

K2 is a powerful Joomla CCK component for custom content, developed by JoomlaWorks. It provides an out-of-the box, integrated solution for creating custom content featuring:

rich content forms for items (think of Joomla! articles with additional fields for article images, videos, image galleries and attachments),
nested-level categories,
tags,
comments,
a system to extend the item base form with additional fields (similar to CCK for those acquainted with Drupal),
a powerful plugin API to extend item,
category and user forms,
ACL,
frontend editing,
sub-templates,
and a lot more...

Using K2, you can transform your Joomla! website to a news/magazine site with author blogs, product catalogs, work portfolio, knowledge base, download/document manager, directory listing, event listing and more, all bundled under one package. Since K2 is extensible with additional fields to its base item form, you can easily create category-specific content types, e.g. article, blog post, product page, directory listing.
