Hello

Does anyone know how to deal with this error message please?

403 - K2_ALERTNOTAUTH

I am using Joomla 1.7 and K2 v2.5.1

I want to keep most of my site available only to registered users. I am using Frontpage Slideshow on the first page. If users click on a menu item that links to a registered user only item I would like them to be redirected to the login page, but instead I get this message 403 - K2_ALERTNOTAUTH.

Many thanks

i have almost the same error (the error message appear when i want to insert an item from frontend)
please help us!

There is no easy solution for that one. If I was you, I would overwrite the module view and if the item displayed has "registered" access, will load a login form via some JavaScript. However, as I said, it is not that easy job to do.

Thanks Ivo, but that's beyond my abilities.

Anyone else?

It appears, whether intentional or not - you need to make sure all K2 categories and items have a defined access level appropriate for the audience.

In preliminary testing it appears that defining the category access level will apply to children by default - though you can change an individual item to a different access level.

I had the same problem, but was able to figure this out quickly as I was on a live server.

Hope that helps.

I've tried this, and I do concur - this appears to be the fix for this particular problem. You must make sure that your members have the correct privileges. In my case, I created a special K2 usergroup for fiction writers and enabled create, edit and publish. This did the trick.

Do you use cache or compress? If you do make sure that the file k2.js is excluded from cache.

I have the same problem, help please.

Hello, I have the same problem on joomla 1.5. Its fresh install of joomla and K2 latest version. I want unregistered users to post articles, so I made menu Item "Item edit form" from joomla add new menu item.
When u click on it from the front end it pops up a new window with 403 - K2_ALERTNOTAUTH title.
Same thing on localhost and on the hosting. The suggestions here abot making the category permissions did not work (its on public). Also the 403 appears by clicking on that link even if I am logged in as Administrator to thr frontend.
Doesn't seem to be normal imho, please advise.

BTW, in k2 v2.5.3 we have fixed this missing language string.

Ok just installed the 2.5.3, indeed the string is fixed. About creating user groups: what if I want unregistered users to submit content like articles or articles with attached documents and such? Is it even possible (coz in sobi2 it is)? I prefer using your component over sobi2coz its more uptodate and has more features..

Thanks

Is it possible, that unregistered users submit content?

I have tried a lot of ACL Settings, but doesn´t find a solution for this:-(

I'm using K2, and Sourcecoast Joomla Connect. I'm using the later to create my Facebook Tab, and it is there that I have found this problem. Hence, I really, really, reallllly don't want to make user permissions editable.

Is there another solution in my instance?

This problem occurred for me when I published a "public" article to my frontpage by accident. I unpublished the article and all of the K2 items started working again (hurruh).

You can try this:

I am using Joomla v2.5.6 and K2 v2.5.7

If your K2 category is set to registered and you have assigned a menu item to the registered category then you will receive "403 - You are not authorized to view this resource"

To resolve this issue we need to manually change the code on the backend.

1) Go To [SITE ROOT]\components\com_k2\views\itemlist\view.html.php

2) Find the code "JError::raiseError(403, JText::_('K2_ALERTNOTAUTH'));" which is contained in

$user = &JFactory::getUser();
if(K2_JVERSION=='16'){
if (!in_array($category->access, $user->authorisedLevels())) {
JError::raiseError(403, JText::_('K2_ALERTNOTAUTH'));
}
$languageFilter = $mainframe->getLanguageFilter();
$languageTag = JFactory::getLanguage()->getTag();
if($languageFilter && $category->language!=$languageTag && $category->language!='*') {
return;
}
}

3) Replace the code "JError::raiseError(403, JText::_('K2_ALERTNOTAUTH'));" with:

if ($this->error->code = '403') {
$return = $_SERVER;
$return = base64_encode($return);
$uri = JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_users&view=login&return=$return");
header('Location:'.$uri); die();
}

4) Final code should look like:

$user = &JFactory::getUser();
if(K2_JVERSION=='16'){
if (!in_array($category->access, $user->authorisedLevels())) {
/*JError::raiseError(403, JText::_('K2_ALERTNOTAUTH'));*/
if ($this->error->code = '403') {
$return = $_SERVER;
$return = base64_encode($return);
$uri = JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_users&view=login&return=$return");
header('Location:'.$uri); die();
}
}
$languageFilter = $mainframe->getLanguageFilter();
$languageTag = JFactory::getLanguage()->getTag();
if($languageFilter && $category->language!=$languageTag && $category->language!='*') {
return;
}
}

5) This should resolve the issue.

6) You can do the same for [SITE ROOT]\components\com_k2\views\item\view.html.php

7) Find the code "JError::raiseError(403, JText::_('K2_ALERTNOTAUTH'));" which is contained in

if(K2_JVERSION=='16'){
if (!in_array($item->access, $user->authorisedLevels()) || !in_array($item->category->access, $user->authorisedLevels())) {
JError::raiseError(403, JText::_('K2_ALERTNOTAUTH'));
}
}

8 Replace the code "JError::raiseError(403, JText::_('K2_ALERTNOTAUTH'));" with:

if ($this->error->code = '403') {
$return = $_SERVER;
$return = base64_encode($return);
$uri = JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_users&view=login&return=$return");
header('Location:'.$uri); die();
}

9) Final code should look like:

if(K2_JVERSION=='16'){
if (!in_array($item->access, $user->authorisedLevels()) || !in_array($item->category->access, $user->authorisedLevels())) {
/*JError::raiseError(403, JText::_('K2_ALERTNOTAUTH'));*/
if ($this->error->code = '403') {
$return = $_SERVER;
$return = base64_encode($return);
$uri = JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_users&view=login&return=$return");
header('Location:'.$uri); die();
}
}
}
