Hello,

I have K2 version 2.9.0 installed on a website. If I try to add a new item in a category view page and then add an attachment to it, the attachment button fails to open a file dialogue. Another thing that looks odd, is the way the various image, media, attachment options are displayed. I remember them being displayed in tabs, however now they are displayed in an unformulated list. Please see the attached screenshot. I hope this may offer a clue. In the screenshot, "Anexos" stands for attachments.

I am able to open a file dialogue for the image option, also embed youtube videos.

Hope someone can help!

Thanks,

This indicates that something (possibly your template or a system plugin) is breaking JS inside the K2 edit form. If you use a plugin like JCH Optimize, make sure that it does not concatenate JS. If not, check if your template has a similar feature. Finally, open up your browser's dev tools and switch to the "Console" tab. Reload the page in question and click to add/edit a K2 item. What errors show up in the browser's "Console" tab?

Thanks a lot Fotis. I checked the template and it did have a "Optimize JS" option selected. I have deselected this but the problem continues. I'm looking through the plugins at the moment. When I click on a "Add a new item in this category" button, I get an error and one additional message in the console tab:

Error parsing header X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block, 1; mode=block: expected semicolon at character position 13. The default protections will be applied.
jquery-migrate.min.js?84f742cf40c3f88d54f26136e23ee75a:2 JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.1

All the best,

When I mentioned the Optimize JS option, that was in Extensions->Templates->Styles
When I go to Extensions->Templates->Templates and open the template in question, there is a directory permissions error:

"Error
The template folder is not writable. Some features may not work."

Perhaps this is causing the problem. I can't change the permissions for the folder directly. What should the permissions be exactly?

Thanks,

The "X-XSS-Protection..." error indicates some plugin (or your server) sends an HTTP header with incorrect syntax. But I doubt that breaks the page.

However, if you have permission issues, perhaps the site (=PHP) can't request some files from the server.

I recommend you ask your hosting company that they repair "ownership" permissions in your hosting account and also repair access permissions to 0755 for folders and 0644 for files.

Actually the permission problem is unrelated. I checked on my local installation of the website and it has no such issues. It does however have the same problem of not being able to add attachments. There are no errors given in the local installation when I add a new item. Making it hard to identify the problem...

Check if you have an old override in /templates/YOUR_JOOMLA_TEMPLATE/html/com_k2/default/itemform.php and delete that file.

Thank you very much Fotis, that seems to be it! You meant to delete the itemform.php file itself, correct? I renamed it and the problem is solved.
