If you want to then change the font size of the titles, you have to go to

and look for around line 331

div.itemListCategoryBlock h2.itemListCategoryTitle a {font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;font-size:20px;}

and change the 'font-size:20px' to whatever font-size you want.

It worked for me, and I'm just a cut and paster, but make backups of any files you customise, first, always.

Hope it works for you, P

Yes, its all pretty good so far.

A little bit scary for the uninitiated..... looks like there must have been a design decision to reduce problems with string handling to use the mbstring functions... would have been nice to make a note of those and include it in the comms.... but I know how these things work, there has been a huge amount of work on this release and this bit has been missed...

Hope folk pick it up here.

If anyone is tracking this from K2 - it would be good to begin a different Topic with known 'bugs' and solutions????

thanks

All you need to do is go and edit your php.ini file - search for mbstring and remove the comment to enable it and resave your ini file. Go and restart Apache.

My site is looking a little funky after the upgrade to 2.0 stable.
ogdencityarts.org/

I did a compare of K2 Upgrade vs. K2 New Install and it appears as if the link code for the CSS file is missing from the upgrade site.

I'm not sure how or where to correct this.

please help!

looks like there's no call to the k2 styles from the head of the document.

ogdencityarts.org/news/ogden-arts-a-events/item/75-adventures-crossroads.html

missing from my k2 ugrade site

I don't know what to say at this point. I don't know when that get's inserted in the code. So anyone else out there know!!

still can't get galleries to work either on this site. even after the upgrade.

I'm having the same issue. Doing some investigating right now. Comparing new K2 install with K2 upgrade

Ive upgraded from the pre-release to the latest build and everything seems ok except that the K2 content has lost its css formatting i.e. the rating stars no longer look the same etc.

I can see the upgrade package includes a style.css file, but it doesnt appear to be part of the rendered page.

See: crx.goingloco.org

Can anyone give me any clues please?

Thanks in anticipation.

I took a chance and exported my comments to a CSV file and then uninstalled K2 1 and installed K2 2.0. It looks like the comments table is of the same structure so I don't anticipate any problem importing the comments back into SQL from the CSV. You just have to make sure that you create your items first and note the itemID so you can add that to the CSV..

Hello

i'm a user of k2, i have made some customizations in k2 (however only in templates), but, now i upgrade my K2 RC do K2 final when in the front end the user (or mee, admin) open "My account" to edit the profiles or add an picture the fields not show, its shows like the same joomla account editing, no user avatar, no user description, noting!

some ideas?

thnks

sorry for this not-so-good-english

I'm really only concerned with all the comments I spent time importing into the first version of K2; don't mind re-creating the items if need be..

Hi

I de-installed the old version of K2 and installed v2.0

As expected all categories and items have gone.

Tried creating new category just with a title - got error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding() in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\test3\administrator\components\com_k2\tables\k2category.php on line 46

Hello,

Same issue here. After following upgrade procedures I get php errors when i try and save categories or items. I haven't attempted to save any other type. Here's some errors:
