Please ensure that the user is allowed to post HTML content. You can see the text filters under Joomla! Global Configuration->Text Filters

Front end editing with k2 will require the user be logged in and to create a new item in an existing category. Extra fields could be used to capture the content as well as attachments if they wanted to attach a document.

There are many form submission components that you will find on the joomla.org site if you go to the extensions directory and search for forms

already tried that, it removes still all html tags. its on the k2 side, not joomla.
i'm a really experienced joomla user, template creator since mambo 4.x ;)

it's not joomla, trust me

it stores everything you write into the textarea field without html tags in the database

Hey!

We are using K2 with Joomla 2.5.7 on our rock-webportal www.legacy.de
Our website sometimes runs out of service while we are editing items with K2.

The server log shows some slow queries caused by K2 that push our MySQL-Server to 100% which kills our website for some minutes. The queries often last for about 2-3 minutes.

Any ideas, what can cause this slow queries and how to avoid these embarrassing downtimes?

Thank you for your support in advance!

Regards
Ingo

Here's the server-log for that slow queries:

Hi there, I've downloaded the component and started working through the training video's, and must say I like the look of K2 enough to want to purchase both the story and multi-category components. Before I do, however, I would like to make sure that these will in fact do what I need as per my questions below:


a) I need to be able to create custom form and article layouts for users to submit articles in the frontend. These articles (in various categories) will not be available for the original authors to edit so I'm looking for
Article in Category A to have a specific layout, B a specific layout, C.... The form should simply be the means to capture the information I need displayed in a pre-specified layout as a Joomla / K2 article.

b) I have a specific need for a review site that works as follows: Authors / publishers submit a review request (specific form) together with upload of their e-book. Public can submit request in the frontend.
These are then saved to articles with a download file (which only allows one download, and hopefully can record who downloaded). Reviewers log in on front end and access article management, can then edit the article to add their review and rating (two extra fields needed here). The finished article then displays in the relevant categories (need multiple categories for the reviews). ONLY reviewers have access to view and edit the articles in the middle step. Thereafter only admin can edit or delete, once review is finally posted, but the articles are available for public view.

c) categories and multiple categories. I realise that there are going to be overlaps in categories. e.g. The reviews section will have the same sub-categories as the bookstore section, e.g historical, western. and books will also belong to more than one category e.g. both historical and western. I'm concerned that same sub categories will cause conflicts, or that searches in bookstore categories will bring up review categories. This might not necessarily be an issue (if reviews are available for books in the bookstore) but could be a problem if the search brings up review requests which are in the "middle phase". It is imperative that only reviewers (and only one reviewer per book) may download these books in order to review them.

These are my basic queries and I would be most grateful if someone could assist. I am desperately trying to complete the site as soon as possible and would like to purchase what I need today if possible.

Many thanks
Jude

If anyone still has this problem and is really annoyed by the error message there is a simple fix.
The problem occurs because of the line 360

K2Model::addIncludePath(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models');

in file plugins/system/k2/k2.php

you can replace it with the following,

require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'item.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'categories.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'category.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'comments.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'cpanel.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'extrafield.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'extrafields.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'items.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'model.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'settings.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'tag.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'tags.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'user.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'usergroup.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'usergroups.php');
require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'models'.DS.'users.php');


basically instead of using the method addIncludePath to include the files in the model folder you call require_once for each file in the modle folder.

Get the same problem after Upgrade with JUpgrade from Joomla 1.5 to 2.5!! Then install k2 Version K2_v2.5.7, because there wasnt the Component.
Solution: I've copied the files from K2_v2.5.6 in the folder and it works!!

Hi K2 Community,

i need some help with this task:

I have an extra field of the date type. With the Joomla language override i can modify the format the way i need, for example DD.MM.YYYY. But i also need the day and month variables for a little calendar sheet icon im using next to the date, like this

...
|MM| DD.MM.YYYY
|DD|
...

Its really important that both appears at the same time, so the user just needs to select only one date in one extra field. How can i manage this?

Thx in advance

Ciao,
ho aggiornato K2 alla versione 2.5.7, su Joomla 1.5.23.
Ora sia nel menù di amministratore che nei vari menù del frontend, ho delle voci precedute da "K2_" come:

backend:

K2_ITEMS
K2_CATEGORIES
K2_TAGS
K2_COMMENTS
K2_USERS
K2_USER_GROUPS
K2_EXTRA_FIELDS
K2_EXTRA_FIELD_GROUPS
K2_MEDIA_MANAGER
K2_INFORMATION

frontend:


K2_YOU_HAVE 0 K2_PUBLISHED_COMMENTS
K2_ADD_NEW_ITEM
K2_MY_PAGE
K2_MY_ACCOUNT
K2_MODERATE_COMMENTS_TO_MY_PUBLISHED_ITEMS

forse manca il file della traduzione in italiano?
dove eventualmente potrei reperirlo?


grazie infinite

Thanks for your quick reply William. I'm not sure to understand what you are meaning. Especially which page you mean to overwrite.. Also not how to achieve an automation of this..

Please let me explain in which direction my thoughts to solve this issue are going (btw I'm totally new to joomla and K2 - but I'm developing dynamic websites with php (symfony/zend) with jquery etc.. for many years.. but I don't know a "right" way how to achieve these changes to K2/Joomla yet :)

Its important to me that the user has a simple dropdown field, it has to be as simple as possible for him to choose the related JoomLeague Match. Fow now, I would hack the ExtraFields template with some custom javascript to perform an ajax request to load all matches (from json,csv) and hide my match_id field, then add a dropdown which enters the Id onSelect into my match_id field..

But hacking a template for just one feature seems like a very dirty solution.. if you have some hints/ideas how I can build my own little extension for K2 ExtraFields, so I don't have to modify the core template, it would me help very much - also others ideas as well :)

In the end, all of this won't be published on the website where joomla is running, it will only be used for a custom json interface to fetched by an iphone app.. so actually all my data needs still to be catched from custom queries..

Thanks, Conrad

If you have another system that has a place for the K2 itemid, you could create an override that would display the itemid directly in the category or item view and your users could get it from there and enter it into the other system manually.
Automating this would be similar to any other bridge like the one that "syncs" the joomla users and the k2 users
If your going in the other direction it would seem to me it would be more difficult

Hi all,
my issue is follows:
I need to build a custom matchreport with K2 that has a connection to the beautiful JoomLeague Plugin with more custom data than JoomLeague provides (like more Images, Videos etc.. perfect for K2) - But I can't let the user look for a MatchId with Firebug and enter it manually into a text field to get the relation to the league (which is basically the functionality I need) - so I was wondering if I could fetch this data from somewhere else using json or a csv list.. whatever.

I would build this little interface by myself, even outside joomla if necessary, so anything is possible :) I appreciate every tip/hack you guys can give me, to get this running :)

Thanks,
Conrad
