Actually, it is not a problem. I just want to add 1 useful function.

Look, I'm working on a website for Joomla lessons and I would like to add Checkboxes which will be displayed in the artcile editor:
Joomla 1,5 ; Joomla 2,5 ; Joomla 3,0

When I check Joomla 1;5 (lesson for Joomla 1,5) this information have to be written to the database (value=0 if not checked, value=1 if checked)

Then in the K2 template I will connect to Database and get this information. If value=1 (Checked) there will be displayed icon of Joomla 1.5, if value=0 (default) nothing will be displayed.

So the reason is that my visitors will be able to see - For what version of Joomla the lesson is.

Ofcourse I can do it on Html for every lesson (just make pictures), but it is not easy, then there are 1000 lessons. That why i need to create these checkboxes inside the K2 Content editor, which will save these information in MYSQL.

Hope somebody will help me!
Thank you!

I'm not sure what you exactly mean by creating a bug report here and go back to blog item. How can I create a bug report and where do I go back to 'blog item'.

I just upgraded to version 2.6.5. So the item.php is active again in websiteroot/components/com_k2/templates/default. So also the problem is back. You can check any item in my website, they now all have the wrong layout. I have used the Extreme template from themexpert. You can check demo.themexpert.com. On top select the Extreme templaten. Then just open the item Fast and Lightweight and you will see how the layout should look like in item view.

Please let me know if you need more or other info.

In joomla admin go to Extensions - Extension Manager then click on then click the Manage Tab , find K2 in the list the version number is in the 5th column.

How can I find out what version of K2 I have? I am considering the "User Extended Fields for K2" extension which requires ver 2.5.2. Also - when I click on the "DEMO" button for that extenstion it goes to "404 Item Not Found" page - I'm new to K2 would very much like to see the Demo.

i want it to come in a different way.

Please be more specific in what you mean by come in.
If you are trying to have the display of a single k2 cateogry look different, consider using a k2 override, also called k2 template. Check the documentation links above for paths, and also the videos from ostraining, and you may find the answer your looking for. If not, please elaborate on what you mean by come in and also state the versions of k2 and joomla you are using

Made what I hope is a good SEO change. I wanted to change my item/article titles from H2 to H1. I checked with Google tech support and having a couple of H1 tags on the page is okay as long as they make sense. I am hoping the change will give my health articles a little more relevance. I'm using a Joomlart template (JA_Anion) Joomla v2.5.8 and K2 v2.5.7. I tried updating my K2 to 2.6.2 but it broke the Advanced Module Manager plugin/display which I really need so I am hoping they can fix that so I can upgrade to the latest version.

So here is how you do it:

Download the "your-template/html/com_k2/default/item.php" file and change the following bit of code. You can see the H2 tags. Just replace them with the H1 and upload...yer good to go.

<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemTitle')): ?>
<!-- Item title -->
<h2 class="itemTitle">
<?php if(isset($this->item->editLink)): ?>
<!-- Item edit link -->
<span class="itemEditLink">
<a class="modal" rel="{handler:'iframe',size:{x:990,y:550}}" href="<?php echo $this->item->editLink; ?>">
<?php echo JText::_('K2_EDIT_ITEM'); ?>
</a>
</span>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php echo $this->item->title; ?>

<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemFeaturedNotice') && $this->item->featured): ?>
<!-- Featured flag -->
<span>
^{<?php echo JText::_('K2_FEATURED'); ?>}
</span>
<?php endif; ?>

and don't forget to make regular Akeeba backups...I spent several hours trying to figure out how to do this, changing many files both css and php and just as I figured it out I broke my site. Luckily I had made a backup last week and was able to restore the site and only had to add a few articles that had been added since the backup.

Hi guys, I am well aware that there are thousands of posts like this but believe me...I have browsed through a thousand of them, tried their advices and still have no idea how to solve my problem:

In K2 Item page, I can create new items and everything works jsut fine. Problem starts when I try to add an image in the K2/Item/Image tab. Uploading directly and saving brings me to a blank page. If I upload the image previously in the K2/Item/Media tab (which works without problems) and then select and save it in the image tab, I will still be directed to a blank page without the image working in the item.

Like I mentioned I tried most of the solutions provided in other forums:

1) Changed all permissions on the K2 media / cache folders to 777

2) Changed the K2 component upload.php to MIME test false:
BEFORE:

$this-&gt;mime_fileinfo = true; // MIME detection with Fileinfo PECL extension
$this-&gt;mime_file = true; // MIME detection with UNIX file() command
$this-&gt;mime_magic = true; // MIME detection with mime_magic (mime_content_type())

AFTER:

$this-&gt;mime_fileinfo = false; // MIME detection with Fileinfo PECL extension
$this-&gt;mime_file = false; // MIME detection with UNIX file() command
$this-&gt;mime_magic = false; // MIME detection with mime_magic (mime_content_type())

3) Deactivated potential problematic plugins/extensions

4) Checked image filesize. Upload limit is set to 2MB by my provider, but the image is actually just 800kb

5) Tried a clean reinstall of K2 without success

And I don't really know what else I should try. I am about to contact my provider but to be honest I have no idea what I could ask him to do for me. Any advices on what I am missing or what i should do?

Best wishes, Michael

PS: Sorry, I forgot. I am using the newest versions of both K2 (2.6.2) as well as Joomla (2.5.8)

Hi Antonios,

The only way I could achieve this functionality was by using Community Builder to handle both the Registration & Profile but although the CB is free you need to purchase either their Conditionals plugin or alternately get the third party Community Builder Profile Pro which is able to create different profile types & Registration forms.

The only drawback is that although you can select different user types during registration, & K2 adds them to your list of users, it doesn't automatically add them to your K2 User Groups. So they cannot add items until you add them manually. Which in my case is ok, because I need to approve the users anyway.

While I am at it I thought I would ask for some feedback from the Admins here, this link mentions the same problem about syncing CB & K2 but it's over 2 yrs old, I am hoping I am missing something.

One last thing in the CB Forum has suggested work around for this but my PHP skills are limited & I am getting the dreaded white screen of death.


It says around line 957 begins the function "function saveRegistration( $option )", at the end of this function, before the "}" sign insert this code (it must be a part of the function) ...
Could someone point out where exactly is the end of this function.
