Error decoding JSON data: quoted object property name expect was created by Jan Marin

Hello there!

We're having issues with our website. We have migrated our Joomla content through J2XML to our new server where we started almost fresh (except the imported content, which was later imported to K2 component, which wasn't used before on the old server). We started on Joomla 3.5.1. Today we have noticed an issue with opening these imported articles. When trying to open them, we get an error:

Error decoding JSON data: quoted object property name expected

Some of these older imported articles can be opened though, but they were modified prior to the update to Joomla 3.6.5.

Any ideas what to do? I put the backup to the testing server and the problem doesn't exist there. So it probably was the update that caused this. Also, just pulling back the backup is not a good option because within few hours from last update there has been quiet some work done and we don't want loose any of it.

We also tried swapping folder "libraries" with those from the backup but unfortunately it leads to completely white blank page in the frontend and backend.

The website can be found here: www.zasavska-tv.si

Many thanks in advance!
Jan

Hi Mohamed!

Thanks for a great clue! I digged into the code and found a solution.

I checked the file /administrator/components/com_k2/views/item/view.html.php. One of the solutions was to change this part:

FilterOutput::objectHTMLSafe($item, ENT_QUOTES, array(
			'video',
			'params',
			'plugins'
		));

However, the code was not exactly the same, it starts with:

JFilterOutput...

So the solution was to change it to:

JFilterOutput::objectHTMLSafe($item, ENT_QUOTES, array(
			'video',
			'params',
			'plugins',
                        'metadata'
		));

Great component and community! Thanks! :)

Jan
