Joomla 1.5.25
K2 Version 2.5.3

I have an odd problem, my user can't update articles or K2 item 'Content'.

If I login on MY computer, using my user's details the system works PERFECTLY. I am using FireFox.

If my user logins in on HER computer she can't update and save articles. She can access them to edit but any changes she makes are not applied.

Also she can create K2 items, add an 'Image' and add 'Extra-fields', but any text she adds to the 'Content' area doesn't get saved when she clicks 'Save'. ONLY the 'Content' is lost all other changes to 'Image' or 'Extra-fields' apply fine.

This is not a Joomla issue or a K2 issue, as I can access and update on all of the computers in my house using her user details. As I can't replicate this problem I have no idea what could be causing it, but feel there is either a browser issue or something on her PC.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,

Gillian

I'm having the same problem. I can see a list of everything else (tags, users, usergroups, extra fields and extrafield groups, but not items or categories. I've opened a new topis as I hadn't found this one. Likewise I'm on Joomla! 1.7.3.
I've checked all permissions and access levels and list filters. They seem to be OK. I've checked the database and the items and categories are there.
I've set up a menu item to list all the categories on the front-end and that appears to work well. I'm stuck now. Anyone any ideas?

Cheers in advance

Hello guys,

i recently have upgraded my k2 component to my local system (http://localhost/joomlasite). Everything worked just fine so i just moved files (ftp) and database (export->import) to my online development site (www.bluetree.gr)

My local installation works just fine BUT i have a major problem to my online dev site. When i try to select one of the following:

administrator -> Components -> K2 -> User Groups
administrator -> Components -> K2 -> Extra Fields
administrator -> Components -> K2 -> Extra Field Groups

i received the corresponding errors:

Warning: require_once(/home/bluetree/public_html/administrator/components/com_k2/controllers/usergroups.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/bluetree/public_html/administrator/components/com_k2/admin.k2.php on line 118

I also tried to re-import the database to another online installation but the same problem occurs. Anybody has an idea?

I wrote a small tool to import K2 content from a CSV file and to export K2 data to a CSV file.
www.individual-it.net/en/Joomla/

Its possible to import all fields including "extra fields", userids, images, tags, galleries, categories and attachments.

The file must have a heading row. Text delimiter: ' " ' field separator: ','
For "Multiple Select" Fields use also "," to separate the options e.g.: "option 1, option 3"

To have a example-file to first an export and check the documentation .

Here is user manual
If you like it please vote for it or write a review

If you have problems:

1. check the old thread in the forum
2. check if you use the most actual version
3. check the minimum requirements
4. post here if you still have a problem - and report:
   • the joomla version
   • the OS version
   • the K2 version
   • the K2 Import / Export tool version
   • the exact problem ("It doesn't work" - doesn't help anybody)

To stay up do date and informed follow me on twitter and have a look at this topic.

There is a great wealth of video tutorials in the old K2 Community, located here: community.getk2.org/video

Same goes for any questions that might occur while developing a site with K2. The old community and soon the new one, provide the best source to learn K2 and solve issues.

Now that v2.5 is out, we plan to gradually fill the documentation section in this site with small practical tutorials covering all aspects of using K2. I personally plan to write 5 small tuts per week.

If you are just getting started, I can only say that working with K2 is like working with default Joomla! articles, only much easier and concise.

To get started, try this:
- Install K2 in an existing site.
- In the items list, top right, hit the import button. This will import your Joomla! articles into K2. Don't worry. The original Joomla! articles are left intact. This will allow you to have some content inside for you to play around.
- After the import, you already have some articles (items in K2 lingo) and categories that form your K2 content's structure. Now start creating some menu items to the K2 categories or items.
- Experiment with the K2 category options. When you flip the switch in some parameter in a K2 category, the switch will be enforced in all items of this category, everywhere in the site (unlike Joomla! articles).
- Enrich your K2 items: add tags, a K2 item image, video, gallery, upload some attachments.
- Extend your K2 item forms: go to the "extra fields" page in the K2 backend and create some new extra fields. "Extra fields" are new form items that extend the base K2 form. And that's one of the beauties of K2. You got a solid starting form for your item and you can extend it with additional fields. Imagine wanting to add a table of data (e.g. details about a movie) inside your items. Extra fields are the way to go. Once you create a few extra fields (you'll see that K2 asks you to group them), you "attach" these extra fields to your item forms, by assigning a particular extra field group to a K2 category.
- A K2 category can only be assigned to one extra field group. An extra field group however can be shared among many categories.
- Now after you've setup your extra fields (and groups) and assigned them to one or more categories, you can start adding more content to your K2 items. When you select a category that has an extra field group assigned to it, these fields will display in the "extra fields" tab inside the K2 item edit form.
- Create more menu items to users (user pages/blogs), tags or the uber-cool "latest items by users or categories" view.

Some additional things to keep in mind:
- K2 makes proper use of its "global" parameters. These parameters will most likely be set only once from you. Browse these parameters (see the button top right in all K2 lists in the backend). If some parameter seems funky too you, hover above its name for an in-depth explanation in the form of a "tooltip".
- We have a few but very powerful modules. One you'll be using most of the times and that's "K2 Content" (mod_k2_content). This is the primary module to fetch content from anywhere in K2 in dozens of combinations. The other modules allow you to fetch comments (K2 Comments/mod_k2_content), user lists (K2 Users/mod_k2_users), the K2 tools (mod_k2_tools) module allows you display lists like archives per year/month, a drop-down of your K2 categories, a calendar, a K2 specific search box, a tag cloud and more. Finally we have the K2 User (mod_k2_user) module, which is a replacement of the Joomla! login module: you use this module to allow your users to log into (and out of) your site. When they are logged in, they see some special actions, in relation to K2 and the powerful access rights that K2 can give to specific groups of users in K2.

More soon ;)

Hi folks,

 

My client's website is using Joomla 1.5 + K2. The structure of the categories and items are:

 

- Type

|_ Item

|_ Item

|_ Item

- Type

|_ Item

|_ Item

 

and so on... It's only one level of category. All the items has the same extrafields group. In the index (default joomla menu item), I have several modules of "mod_k2_content" with specific rules showing this items (not necessary one module to each category... The items are all mixed up in the modules).

 

What I need: Now my client want to divde this categories "Type" into "Cities". Each city will have all the same Types, but different items. And when the user access the website, he will choose the city he wants to navigate. And all the menu items will show the items of that city.

So I have to divide items in Cities, but I don't want to create another level before "Type" with the Cities... This will result in many menu items, one for each city. And I will have to duplicate all the modules of "mod_k2_content" I have and associate then to specific city in menu items...

 

With this "problem", I thought: What if I create a extrafield with the Cities that the site will have and filter all the content by this extrafield? I will need to specify the city for each k2 item, but I will have just one tree off navigation (No need to create menu items for the cities) and just the actuals mod_k2_content modules associated to the default joomla menu item (index)...

 

Is there a solution for this?

 

Sorry for my bad english

I am using k2joom k2 template k2rounded as the basis, but I have modified it.

 

I am looking but if you know what to look for here is my k2rounded item.php :

Thanks for your reply. I'm going to have to pick the data apart somehow. I'm not a programmer. Ultimately a MYSQL table or CSV export is just text so I'll find a way.

 

I think it would have been better if the K2 extended fields plugin saved the extra data in separate fields instead of one field.

 

There are components to export Joomla user table and K2 content but not K2 users.

Hello all

I've been using K2 for a few sites now but have some questions I haven't seen solved in the forums. 

Maybe they are somewhat basic, but address common problems of building professional sites with K2.

 

1) How to parse joomla plugins in the K2 user profile?

Since it's possible to always display the user profile after articles (being it a blogger, a company or a product seller), parsing joomla plugins within it allows us to, for example, include a contact form or atbs or even some additional info, that can't be acomplished with the current extra fields or even external coms like Sherpa. So, what do on has to change in K2 to allow for parsing of joomla plugins in the user profile area?

 

2) Is there a simple way of adding recaptcha to the K2 registration form?

I've seen a couple of workarounds in the forums, some of them leading to conflicts with other recaptcha solutions installed in the site. Pardon me all that have invested time and dedication in bringing the solutons found in the forum, but If tried them all and none worked flawlessly. Yes, one can argue that is because of the template or maybe because of another recaptcha comp installed, but still all involved hacking the code and not having a stable solution. So, anyone has a solution for this?

 

3) What is the component used for the K2 community registration?

Sort of off-topic, but it's a nice registration process and forms.

 

thanks in advance

With K2, VirtueMart and K2Mart (and the usermeta plugin) installed,  I am trying to provide the most straightforward registration process for my clients.

Virtuemart Registration includes shipping info and other related info but is not extendable.

K2 offers Male and Female and description

While usermeta allows me to extend the joomla registration process using an extra table.

 

K2s choice of fields seems arbitrary. Are they example fields? Is there a way of extending it's functionality similar to usermeta? 

If not what are the disadvantages to turning the plugin off and sticking with usermeta?

 

Any other issues I might need to address?

 

thanks

 

Rob

 

Ah, sorry, i see now. Plugin code and brackets are prepared in K2 template. So it is just to write folder name in extra field ?

 

So with this code is absolutely possible to have Magic Tabs, and have an extra field (even with editor) for each tab, to populate. And users cannot destroy anything.

Hi guys,

there is so much stir in this topic that I would like to clarify the whole thing the way I understand it.


K2 is content component for Joomla. As such it brings its own handling of certain aspects of output and awesome templating techniques :) Therefore it does not necessary behaves exactly as original content in Joomla. Extra Fields, I think, were originally meant to simply enter some simple "extra" information that can be used in template .php file to user's liking. Extra Field does not necessary holds information that should be outputted DIRECTLY to the browser. It could be counter of some sort, it can be weight, color, age, etc. (value can be used as counter in cycles, path to file, extra configuration...). But also it can hold html code meant for output (ex: room description of hotel in my website).


So the information of what should happen with this Extra Field information is prescribed in .php template file. There is some default behavior which is written in bunch of default templates, for ex. in file:

However you should never touch this file. Therefore there is perfectly legitimate and advised way of customizing and overwriting this .php template file - which is essential to K2 templating. You can read details about K2 templating here simon.getk2.org/k2-documents/item/91-templating. Making long story short, for above file there should be this custom file that will handle representation of default item:

This is not a hack, this is how it should be done and you are not touching core files, just customizing template.

 

So basically when you create template from scratch (or just copying and adjusting existing default template), you need to define how those Extra Fields will be handled. By default they are just plainly echoed for browser as name and value pair. See that original item.php file around line 255. However they are not scanned for {plugin} tags, therefore plugins are not recognized.

 

You can write your own template (or copy and adjust existing). There are basically 2 aproaches that come to my mind. Both will require to adjust for ex. this fileand of course that template must be activated in Joomla backend. You do not have to build whole new template, neither your template will have to have all the template files, it is enough to copy and adjust just single file, rest of the template will automagically use default template provided by K2. So finaly here are two snipets that could be used in item.php custom template file:

 

1) Output all the extra fields in the same fashion as it was main content (example lacks any extra html formating):

In this case you can write in any extra field html + any plugin with its crazy parameters and it will be outputed as expected. So you can enter in backend's extrafield something like this:
 

2) There could be numerous cases when you decide that extrafield will hold just partial info (like path to the gallery). ex: first extrafield will be gallery description, second field path, etc. you get the idea:

So the difference is in designers mind. You just have to know what to expect in Extra Fields and prepare content according. then in .php template file put all the pieces together as you like.


This was exhausting post :)

 

PS: there couold be some syntax mishap, I did not test it, but sure the idea is right.

Hi Jock,

Yes that works in extrafields using the template over ride code i previously posted... !!

Nice gallery, not seen it before - thanks.

Plug in code I entered into a "Text Field" extra field which worked:

{gallery rows=3 cols=1 width=200 height=140 crop=1 labels=captions alignment=left orientation=horizontal buttons=0 links=0 counter=0 overlay=1}food/{/gallery}

 

I even have loadposition plugin running using the same code, and Joomlaworks Gallery pro plugin at the same time...

If this is for users to fill in you could re write the code where several extrafields make up the "whole" plugin string...?

And at the same time keep overall control of the layout / plug in over rides that you want eg pop up engine/light box used?

The options are limitless once you assign the extrafields to variables....

Extra images..

Mp3s...

Email links...

Greeting..!!

I have installed this amazing plug-in on K2 module with the aim to manage Joomla! contents on my website...

The home page contains many of items, each one contains thumbnail, article and extra fields..

When I tried to assign image gallery to each item, I faced a problem that it shows all image galleries on the home page with the items, not only on the specific page...

I want to keep my home page clean and light and don't want to show the galleries on it...

At the same time I want the user be able to brows the image gallery when he opens the specific item page only.. so could you please guide me how I can do that ...

 

Best Regards

Go to Joomla extension site. There you have a plugin for custom fields for users.

 

I don´t know if they are searchable. Didn´t tried.

How did you use "Art Plugin"? There's no instructions at all

To rephrase the above question, how can we make the "Text Area" extra field to be used as a regular editor that executes plugins. The "Text Area" currently works as an editor but it does NOT execute plugins. 
JoomlaJet said:

actually, this one (the first one I pointed out):

extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/embed-a-i...

does work the way you are asking. I just did a quick test to make sure, and it does cause the plugins to be parsed correctly.

The only "catch" is that some users say that it doesn't work when they turn on caching and truthfully, I didn't test that out for myself. 

 

I have used this 2 ways and both worked:

1. add plugin code to the k2 field

2. add plugin code the the k2 custom template

I have scoured the web and this website, but I cannot find a plugin to integrate K2 and Community Builder.

I would like to use the user profile on community builder to create an input area (custom tab with custom fields) for the K2 fields and extra fields.  It should not be too hard, but it does not look like there is such a plugin available.

So, does anyone know of a way to accomplish this?

I should be able to code it myself, with a little help. I would need to know where and how to access both the Community Builder data and the K2 data (including extra fields). My coding skills are pretty good. My understanding of the Joomla framework however, is pretty basic.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

hi sorry about the late reply.

I use only one generic.php as I don't think its actually possible to use more than one themed generic.php. I believe that generic.php should be placed within the /templates/YOURJOOMLATEMPLATE/html/com_k2/ and not within an override sub folder

(community.getk2.org/notes/Templating_in_K2 paragraph 4 and 5)

 

Try using only one generic.php and moving the &lt;?php echo K2HelperUtilities::wordLimit($item-&gt;introtext,30); ?&gt;

to inside the genericItemIntroText div. just below the uncommented &lt;?php /* echo $item-&gt;introtext; */?&gt;
