Pierre Cornelissen said:Where does K2 save the Category and Item Image Files?
Bernd said:Yes and check the files. The files must be your FTP user not wwwrun or nobody. Ala Makota said:Do you mean wrong chmod on image folder? Still I can't figure it out... Bernd said:wwwrun is a preference/user problem on a host. Check your files on your server.

Thanks very much. As stated in another thread, I did found it and set the security to 777 which I think is a bit dangerous. Will look into security settings and set accordingly.

Hey, I have exact the same problem. If I add a picture and save the article it says "Changes to item saved", but then there is no picture there. The picture is .JPG of 600x600 pixels and 40kb (also tried other pictures), so that could not be the problem, also root/media/k2 and all the subfolders are on CHMOD 777 also Group and owner are both set to FTP. I use the latest K2 v2.4.1 and Joomla 1.5.20. Can someone please help me out here?

Similar problem... if i add picture to item, got blank screen after Save/Apply and no image added.

Also using the latest K2 v2.4.1 and Joomla 1.5.20.

For those people having problems with the uploading of files, and have already ruled out a problem with permissions, I have a solution....

The quick fix is to edit /administrator/components/com_k2/lib/class.upload.php. Go to the init() function, and change the following variables from true to false:

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

You are 'SUPPOSED' to be able to override these settings in the calling script, however, because of a fundamental flaw in the design, it doesn't actually work :^)

I have documented the flaw in another post, but the above should at least get you working!

Since as an admin I upload the images to the folder via cPanel, but have not tried this one; what will happen if an upgrade from K2 arrives - will they have fixed this problem in the meantime?

Considering I found this problem in K2 2.2, and K2 2.4.1 still hasn't fixed it... you'll probably have to update the class.upload.php script again to turn off the MIME checking as I mentioned above.

Hey Angelo! :^)

Are you looking in the /components/com_k2/lib folder by any chance? It should be in the /administrator/components/com_k2/lib folder.

Hi all,

I tried the following solution kindly proposed by Nick Texidor (below), but it don't work. Did someone have a solution to enable the upload of images in the "Edit Item" - Image tab. Thank you in advance for your Help. Bill

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

Hi Bill,

If changing the MIME type settings didn't work for you, there are a couple of other things you can try... first off, are the permissions on the /media/k2 folder set correctly? I usually set /media/k2 and all sub-directories to 777 to make sure that's not the problem.

If they're all ok, the other thing you could try is displaying the upload log to see if it shows any kind of problem: Edit the file /administrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php, and search for //image. About 9 or 10 lines down from that, you should see the following:

$handle = new Upload($image);

under that, add:

echo $handle->log;

Next, try and add an image to an item. You should see some debug output on the screen Have a quick scan and see if it shows anything obvious. If you're not sure, send me the text in a PM and I'll have a look for you.

Hope this helps a little
