Hi,

I have a joomla template that uses K2, and within that template there is a K2 Slideshow module. I just updated to the latest version of K2 yesterday (2.61) and after I did the K2 Slideshow no longer appears on my site.

The configuration of the template never changed, only the K2 update was applied which broke the K2 Slideshow. I'm not sure how to correct this problem.

Any direction would be appreicated,
Thanks.

Same problem here. My Rotator/Slideshow stop working too after upgrade :blink:

Ok, I reinstalled version K2 2.6.0 as a test with still the same issues. The slider failed as before with the 2.6.1 install. So I rolled back further, I went to version 2.5.7 that was originally installed and success. So, there is something breaking the slider in the newer versions of K2.

As I replied in the other topic. If you go to K2 parameters in 2.6.1 you will see that it's loading jquery 1.8.x by default. Try changing back to 1.7.x which was what 2.5.7 was loading and see if that resolves the issue.

I'll give that a try, but even if that does work I would like to know why jquery 1.8 causes a failure. jQuery libraries are usually very solid and I like to see the latest version working as expected.

Thanks for the info, I'll keep you posted.

Nope, that isn't the issue. The new version of K2 breaks the slider. I tried many different versions of the jquery libraries in the K2 params, as well as the local vs remote loads and that made no difference. The only thing that fixed the issue was to roll back to 2.5.7.

BTW, the one thing I did notice was that the setting for the new version of K2 was to use 1.7.x, not 1.8.x which I changed to use the latest and still no luck.

Same Here... GRRR, i just got my site done after a month of working on it!!!
I did one stupid update and now it's Broke!!!

Any of you facing issues, you first need to specify what's the issue. If you do not see the module or the items at all, then probably you need to update your slideshow to it's latest version to be compatible with K2 2.6.1. Otherwise you can go back to K2 2.5.7. If however the module is displayed but it just doesn't play, then you probably need to check your page for JavaScript errors. Changing jQuery handling settings at K2 parameters may help.
