Dear Modernmagic, There is currently no workaround for the save /cancel button that i'm aware of. Ive been trying for nearly 6 months to find one. The "workaround" in this thread is for the pop up modal window size. sorry i cant be mroe help to you


modernmagic said:Jasper Newton Did you workaround this issue with your iframe / modal hack?

thanks for the reply.

Maybe the activity on this topic will become "annoying" and someone can figure out how to fix this "annoyance"; so that my client doesn't get "annoyed" with my choice in K2 (which otherwise is a great extension).

All i can suggest is that you contact K2. The only issue is, as per their own response, Is that you are being rude by questioning them.

I am notorious for bad analogies, but not being able to save and close "Edit Item" is like having to close the car door from the outside.... but you want to be inside the car!

Considering I follow joomlaworks (which I assume is Fotis Evangelou) on twitter, I have noticed a different attitude than other developers.

I'm just surprised that there are apparently thousands of people using K2 but no one is complaining about this BUG.

LOl, have you read this post? It was a firestorm...

wow, just did. I didn't even think that it was 12 pages long.

Its weird because all the back end Save and Cancel buttons also "Close", why would the front end buttons not function the same.

(Why would a dev decide to NOT make the front end and back end Save and Cancel buttons function the same?)

Dear Modernmagic,
Here is the link to another discussion relating to the save/close button (the one I referred to earlier, where I have brought this issue to K2's attention);
community.getk2.org/forum/topics/k2-cancel-add-new-item-from?commentId=3536014%3AComment%3A95083&xg_source=msg_com_forum

There has just been a post with a possible solution. not had chance to try it myself.
Hope this helps

I have discovered that if you login and click "My Page" and then click "Post a new item" the "K2 Add Item" screen appears on a popup and everything works fine.

This confirms that the issue/bug is only when you click "Add New Item" in the K2 login module.
