Exact same problem here. Anyone find a fix for this?

I had the same problem with my custom template about 3 months ago and our authors were unable to create or edit articles. Go to root/media/k2/assets /js/k2.js

If you are using K2 v2.7, (Krikor gave a link some posts above) go to line 529 and 532 and comment out (with // ) these two lines.

If you are using K2 V2.6.9 go to line 464 and 465 and comment them out.

As you understand it's not the best way, because with the next update you'll have to do the same but it's a solution until this problem is resolved. At least that worked for me.

Thanks,. I tried this but it didn't work. The lines I commented out (464-465) were:

Was this correct?

When we try to edit an item through the front end, the change is not saved and the modal window doesn't close, it just loads the home page into the modal.

BTW, this file is not referenced in my browser's source window: root/media/k2/assets/js/k2.js

This file is loaded: /components/com_k2/js/k2.js?v2.6.9&sitepath=/
but it only has around 250 lines.

Thanks!

@Wire Creative,

Which other 3rd party extensions are you using?

Jhat template are you using?

I use JA University and JA staff has confirmed a bug,
Waiting for further comments and solution.

I use Yootheme's Avenue. I do have quite a few other extensions installed, but there wasn't an issue until upgrading Joomla to 3.4.3. I updated to 3.4.4 yesterday and the problem still exists.

Related to this is that when the front-end editing window opens, none of the additional content tabs are laid-out correctly, so there must be some javascript conflict with the core K2 js.

What is the console tab of your browser's developer tools showing you?

I have done this:

- Concole tab shows nothing.
- Cloned site to XAMPP localhost. - No difference.
- Changed to Beez3 template - FE edit fails here, unlikely the error is caused by JA Template?
- Updated K2 to 2.7.0 using the package mentioned earlier in this thread.
- Updated JCE to 2.5.8. Got rid of error message "Item must have a title"
- Updated Joomla to 3.4.4 - No difference
- Tested different settings with jQuery Easy plugin. - Nothing helped.
- Tried different jQuery settings in K2 config. - Caused different types of behaviour in frontend but nothing that works.
- Tried the hack mentioned above. - Did not help.

Also tested:
- Setting K2 template to Default to check that override templates is not causing errors.
- Tested with dafault editor = None, - Same problem.
- Installed the JCE fix, but that does not really matter when JDE 2.5.8, because the fix is part of that version.

Was also waiting and hoping K2 v3 would be released and solve this, but it is obviously delayed once again.

I would really appreciate some comstructive ideas how to solve this. I´m simply out of ideas.

Thanks.

Hi,

I found the solution by Ryen, Jce and it works !!

from Krikor:

There is a JCE patch actually available here: www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/42883-item-must-have-a-title-pops-up-after-upgrade-joomla-3-4-4?start=10

You can try to see if this solves your issue.

This didn't fix the problem for me, unfortunately.
