OK

I already had an updated copy of K2 with mod_k2_content.

My present understanding is that the basic method to do this override is to copy

ROOT/modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl/Default

to

ROOT/template/MYTMPL/html/mod_k2_content/Default

So I did exactly that.

And nothing happened. Same exact results.

I'm getting the impression that the mechanism that's supposed to render the module is broken somehow.

Any ideas?

Your overrides are located at /templates/YOURTEMPLATE/html/mod_k2_content

You can a grab a new copy of K2 and check the files located under /modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl to spot any major differences.

I would recommend reading or watching a tutorial about Joomla! overriding.

Thanks again.

There's no modules.php in my template's html folder.

You say "You can try with the default modules." Try what? Sorry to be dense but I don't follow.

It would make sense that my "overrides are very old and not compatible with K2". I'd like to look into this. Where would I look for an override? How will I know it when I see it?

Just for the record, I just created a new position at the bottom of my index.php. I put in:
<div id="ss_test" class="clear"><span>XXXXXXXXXXXX</span><jdoc:include type="modules" name="ss_test" /><span>YYYYYYYYYY</span></div>

I then tested the position (using the admin interface) with a module that I know renders correctly. It showed up just fine. Then I tested with my K2 content mod. Nothing came out at all. not even the {module NAME_OF_MODULE} output I described above.

Does this tell us something?

I am afraid you have to change your overrides.

It is possible since it was a J! 1.5 site that your overrides are very old and not compatible with K2 2.6.6.
You can try with the default modules.

Also did you locate modules.php in your template folder?

Thanks for your reply.

I have just tested with all the other available templates, atomic, beez etc ...

Same result in all cases.

What do you think?

What else might it be?

That's not the case here, error.php is always public.
Double check your permissions and user groups also check if any SEO/SEF extension is causing this behaviour.

Finally check your error.php file for any bugs

Also,
www.melvilletenniscentre.com.au/junior-tennis2?template=system is a link to an item and
www.melvilletenniscentre.com.au/junior-tennis?template=system is a link to a category.

You should check your menu items and make sure they are not pointing to unpublished or trashed content

If I disabled the redirect plugin, and click on the problem navigation item, I'm taken to the URL:
www.melvilletenniscentre.com.au/login?return=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tZWx2aWxsZXRlbm5pc2NlbnRyZS5jb20uYXUvanVuaW9yLXRlbm5pczI=

This page displays a "item not found" message, and asks me to login.

This is similar behaviour to when the migrated content had not yet had permissions set to Public.

Maybe the 404 page does not have Public permission? Where do I check this?

Hello there,

It appears you have an issue with your template. Are you using an override for your modules (modules.php).
If so try removing this file (it is located in your template's html folder) and see what happens.

I think some outdated code is causing these issues.

Browsing your site with the default Joomla! templates will help you determine if it is a template issue.
You can just add ?template=atomic or ?template=system and see your see your site with the default templates. PS. you need to also have a published module for this template as well.

Hello migzam,

First of all Joomla! 2.5.8 is an old and outdated version, you should upgrade asap.
I think there is something wrong with your template,you must set error reporting to development and locate error.

for the "more..." it's hardcoded into the css, it's a super-fast fix though, and i'm guessing there's probably a way to override so it's still there after an upgrade but i haven't figured that out yet

go to:

/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_k2.ini

in about the middle of the file find the line:

K2_MORE="More..."

and either remove the more so it looks like:

K2_MORE=""

or change the part between the quotes to anything you want

for "the border around the box", i'm not sure what you mean, it might be a theme based thing, i'd have to see it to know

I am VERY new to Joomla, but not to PHP or cms in general.

I am on Linux apache PHP 5.3

I just upgraded a site from J1.5 to J2.5. (I used Jupgrade.)

I downloaded and installed the version of K2 for J2.5.

There are several places on the front page where K2 Content Mods are supposed to appear.

I began recreating the K2 Content Mods as follows:

*Go to the Module manager
* Duplicate the K2 Content Module
* in a separate browser bring up the edit page for the original J1.5 Content Mod
* Copy the settings
* clear my browser cache (Joomla cache is turned off)

Nothing shows up.

Wherever the module is supposed to display I get:

{module NAME_OF_MODULE}

What is even weirder is that I am getting the same thing for modules I haven't even reproduced yet.

I don't even know where to look for the problem. To judge by the html that appears in the browser, the mod_k2_content/tmpl/Default/default.php isn't even being loaded.

The html reads:
<div style="box-shadow:rgba(0,0,0,0.5) 0px 0px 24px; border-radius:10px 10px 10px 10px; margin:4px;
background:#C9F; border:2px solid; border-top:none !important; border-left:none !important;
-moz-border-radius:10px 10px 10px 10px; /* Firefox 3.6 and earlier */ width:340px;
height:auto; float:right; overflow:hidden; ">{module NAME_OF_MODULE}</div>

None of the K2 Content markup is present.

This is driving me nuts.

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

Hello Randy,

You should upgrade to 2.5.11. Then check if you have correct file permissions and also check if you have the correct paths and permissions for your /tmp and /logs.

Provided that you are using the latest version of K2,
I would first turn the redirect plugin off and see what happens then if I were you.

From that point I would experiment by turning off any additional extensions or plugins I've installed.
That way you can find which extension is causing the issue.

If none of these work for you, you should open a ticket with your hosting provider.

The server is using a default .htaccess file.

I noticed that the server has a hard time displaying the 404 error page. Perhaps a byproduct of this is a 310 error code?

How would I fix the server not being able to display a proper 404?

Hello Steven,

Your page produces a Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects. which is a server related issue. Make sure you haven't forgotten any old code in your .htaccess file.
You can always try again with a new .htaccess file.

I turned SEF URLs off, and the problem remains.

I try to add some images to an existing gallery (upgraded from SIGPro 2.6.6; image location had been changed to media/k2/galleries, these changes have been reflected in the new SIGPro 3 configuration), but the backend manager says that there are no images.

The images _do_ exist though, in the right directory, and they are also being displayed. If I add any pictures through the backend, however, they show up in the FTP directory, but are not being displayed on the site.

Also, if I add pictures by uploading a ZIP, they do show up on the page, but not in the backend.

Another bug is that the ZIP uploader cannot deal with funny filenames, e.g. with a ) in the name.

Alfred, I totally agree with what Krikor Boghossian says, you should backup everything,and then - only then, do any changes.

There's a post suggesting a way of Joomla update, which (I suppose) should work for K2 as well, however I am not sure about this, you should check this for yourself: www.squidoo.com/how-to-upgrade-joomla-website-new-flash-speed-method

Please, let us know how it works out.

Hi guys,

I upgraded to 2.6.6 on Friday and after saving/modifying K2 items, I had a blank screen in Administrator.

I'm running Joomla 2.5.

Turning error reporting to maximum produced this (I have anonymised my server paths)

Warning: require_once(/my_server_path/administrator/components/com_finder/helpers/indexer/adapter.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /my_server_path/plugins/finder/k2/k2.php on line 15 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/my_server_path/administrator/components/com_finder/helpers/indexer/adapter.php' (include_path='/my_server_path/plugins/system/shlib/shl_packages//ZendFramework-1.11.7-minimal/library:.:') in /my_server_path/plugins/finder/k2/k2.php on line 15 Warning: spl_autoload(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(jfactory.inc) is not within the allowed path(s): (/my_server_path:/tmp/) in /my_server_path/libraries/joomla/session/storage/database.php on line 71 Warning: spl_autoload(): open_basedir restriction in effect.

Deactivating Smart Search, as this post suggests, did the trick.

Just wanted to let the K2 folks know as 2.6.6 is the newest version (well, it is according to Joomla update!) and others may experience the same issue.

Cheers,
Paul

Thanks for reply.

I upgraded all components to latest version but no result.
Also hikashop & chronoforms work with bugs in back office when i swith on system K2

I tried to switched to php 5.3. and all problems disappeared.
