i have read all the topics about this issue but my problem is slightly different than the others. here it is:

 

Firstly i installed K2 version 2.4.1 and then i decided to remove and use it in my second website. Everything was cool at the beginning, I removed K2 from the control panel, then checked my database to see if something went wrong but it was all perfect, not a single K2 related file or code had left in my database. But... when i had reloaded my site's index I saw that cockroach-like neverdying "back to top" button fading in when i scroll down the page. Like I said, each K2 related file got deleted but the backtotop dude is still here. It is clear that its hiding somewhere there in html codes but I cannot find it and need your kind help. I need it got removed! Help me, puh-leez!

 

P.S: www.yarinlar.net is my website and I'm using Joomla 1.5

 

Try firebug to locate the css file in your template that is causing it

I tried it by the first time but it gives me the line:<div id="toTop" style="display: none;">^ Back to Top</div> 

 

and i can not find ANY code including "toTop" nor in the CSS or the HTML codes.

Oh I found that it also gives me the javascript code for "back to top" at the upper-line of my previously given line. But how can i deal with it?

just above totop with firebug you can add display none....as you see the display none is overriden when you load the page.

i can add it in firebug but it does not change the source code, when i reload the page it is just the same.

can you explain a bit more with details? you know I'm a newbie in this Joomla business and need any help.

If you can make the necessasry change with firebug and get the desired result, then it tells you what line of code and usually the filename that you need to change. You will have to edit the file on your server and make the same change there to keep the changes.

I totally understand your point but here's the complicated thing: when i inspect the "back to top" button it just gives me the name of the "#toTop" line and the line "yarinlar.net (line 29)". "yarinlar.net" is my url and there is no such filename in my database. things are getting bad :(

In the item.php, right at the very end

<div class="itemBackToTop"> <a class="k2Anchor" href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>#startOfPageId<?php echo JRequest::getInt('id'); ?>"><?php echo JText::_("back to top"); ?></a> </div> <div class="clr"></div>


Remove that code.

Take note, if you do this in the component template, then update-install K2, you will loose the changes.

Consider using a K2 template over ride, check out my guides on simon.getk2.org

The problem is that this "back to top" button is appearing despite I UNINSTALLED AND DELETED each and every K2 file and folder (so theres no such item.php because that there is no com_K2 folder). I am suspicious that the code that defines "Back to Top" button must be written in the installation process (before i unistalled the K2) into another code file (maybe into another module's codes I don't know) and i can not find this specific code in my database.

Any other suggestion?

If you have removed k2 and all its directories and are not using a k2 item or category to display content, it must be in your template somewhere....

Well thats exactly what the situation is. My question till the beginning was that i can not find that code (although i searched each and every folder) but it is obvious that it is somewhere in my template. It is a K2 related problem and I just wanted to ask it in this community...

I appended my template's CSS to hide 'Back to Top'

/* Added the following code to hide 'Back to Top' */
div.itemBackToTop {
display:none;
}
