Hello,

I have Joomla 3.8.12 and K2 2.9.0.
I just updated K2 from 2.7.1 to 2.9.0, and I have an unusual style and behavior on front-end editing. Please see attached.

1. Save, Close, and K2 Toggle Sidebar on the top left do not appear to be a button. Hoe can I fix this?
2. Tabs for Content and Image are missing. It displays as a bullet list. How can I fix this?
3. If I click Close link without edit any text, it did not close. The front-end editing just stay there. How can I fix this?
4. If I edit text, click Save, and then click Close, it closed the front-end editing window and send me to the homepage. How can I stay at the page I just edited?

I did not see any error on JavaScript console, so I don't know what else I can tell you to help me figure it out.

Please advise.

Thank you,

N

Hello,

Most probably it is a javascript error.
Make sure that the console is activated for the window of the edit from, it should tell you what is happening.

Mohamed,
Thank you for your response.
The console is activated for the window of the edit form. I compare the css files and js files that were being loaded on the modal of the edit form between k2 version 2.7.1 on my production site and 2.9.0 on my test site, I found they are different.

on K2 2.7.1, it loads
- k2.js?v=2.7.1&sitepath=/
- k2.noconflict.js?v=2.7.1
- nicEdit.js?v=2.7.1
- K2.css?v=2.7.1
- K2.frontend.css?v=2.7.1

on K2 2.9.0, it loads
- k2.backend.js?v=2.9.0&sitepath=/
- K2.frontend.js??v=2.9.0&sitepath=/
- nicEdit.js?v=2.9.0
- K2.css?v=2.9.0
- K2.backend.css?v=2.9.0

Are Js files and CSS files on version 2.9.0 being loaded correctly?

Thank you,

Fortis,
I appreciate your quick response.
I removed itemform.php, and the layout is much better. Save and Close appear to be a button. Content and Image appear to be a tab.
I only have one issue left, the close button did not close when I clicked. It stays on the front-end editing window.
Please advise.
Thank you,

I checked. I did not see any JS error on the browser's console.
Anything else I can check?
