If you have a backup of your site, i would put the original site back up, upgrade it to j 2.5.9 and then install k2 2.6.3

Hi,

Do you mean it's the default template loaded instead of the custom one ? In that case, CSS4K2 is not the cause of your problem.

Jut try to check and save your K2 category & K2 Menu item settings.

On my side, i've tried this :

- Install a Joomla! 2.5 with K2 2.6.2
- Install CSS4K2 1.7.2
- Everything's fine
- upgrade to K2 2.6.3
- Everything's still fine

Hi Team,

Thanks for creating such an useful component for Joomla Community.


I am using K2 Component in one of my project. I added one custom button in items toolbar which parse an XML string. I want to make this functionality as an installable plugin and upgrade safe way. So that it does not affect my code after I upgrade joomla version. Is there any way to resolve it.

thanks,
Deb

Thanks for replying. I have checked out K2Joom. In fact they had a template I wished to use, but they haven't upgraded it to support the newer Joomla / K2.

I've been reading up on how to modify the templates but I must be honest, the code has me nervous. I don't wanna go screwing things up. I have seen a few template sites that had nice overrides for K2, but it's included with their Joomla templates. How do you take and just use the Override itself?

What I want is pretty simple. I'll attach a photo of what I'm trying to achieve. Maybe someone here can help?

Hi there,

ive recently upgraded k2 to the latest version (2.6.2), and have noticed some strange behaviour concerning the extra fields that i have setup for some categories.

If a front end users goes to add an article, chooses a category, and then goes to add the extra fields, it works fine.

However, if a user saves the article before adding the extra fields, and then clicks onto the extra fields tab, all you get is the extra fields listed as h4 items, with no input fields/way of adding the extra field info.
(have attached a screenshot)

Any help or solution youd be able to provide would be greatly appreciated. Its not a hugely serious problem as you can work round it by adding the extra field info first, but it is a bit of a nuisance.

Im running joomla 2.5.7 and the jquery loading in k2 is set to 'load v1.8.xlatest (remote copy)'

thanks in advance
Dan

Thank you, it work for me too. 30 January 2013. K2 upgraded to version 2.6.2

MOre info....what store component are you using?
You will probably have to hack the core of k2 to change what displays in administrator and if you do you will loose your changes on upgrade.

Seems to be resolved by upgrading to K2Mart 2.0.4

Hi,

I am new to php and need some help customizing my itemform.php. The goal is the following:

1. Front-end submission into just 1 of my K2 categories, with no other categories showing in drop-down.

2. Appropriate extra-fields load automatically, without user needing to select (child-)category. (Note that all 5 child categories have the same extra fields).

3. Display some of the extra fields in the top 'admin' table, with others distributed among the tabs at the bottom

I had gotten the form working before with all except (3) above. However, although I haven't edited the file, I apparently did something in the site to 'break it' as it is now not loading the extra fields at all -- even after you select a category.

I would really appreciate code I can use to (1) specify the parent category and (2) call out the individual extra fields by id# in the context of itemform.php. (I haven't upgraded to the new K2 because it is not yet supported by the component I use to integrate K2 with JomSocial-- something I posted on but did not hear back. Alternatively, help figuring out what I might have done to 'break' the somewhat-kludged solution I'd had before would be much appreciated!!

Here is the code that was working before:

<ul id="k2ExtraFieldsValidationResults"></ul>
<?php if (count($this->extraFields)): ?>
<?php foreach($this->extraFields as $extraField): ?>
<tr>
<td class="adminK2LeftCol"><span class="title" style="font-weight:bold">
<?php echo $extraField->name; ?></span>
</td>
<td class="adminK2RightCol">
<?php echo $extraField->element; ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php else: ?>
<dl id="system-message">
<dt class="notice"><?php echo JText::_('K2_NOTICE'); ?></dt>
<dd class="notice message fade">
<ul>
<li><?php echo JText::_('K2_PLEASE_SELECT_A_CATEGORY_FIRST_TO_RETRIEVE_ITS_RELATED_EXTRA_FIELDS'); ?></li>
</ul>
</dd>
</dl>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if (count($this->K2PluginsItemExtraFields)): ?>
<div class="itemPlugins">
<?php foreach($this->K2PluginsItemExtraFields as $K2Plugin): ?>
<?php if(!is_null($K2Plugin)): ?>
<fieldset>
<legend><?php echo $K2Plugin->name; ?></legend>
<?php echo $K2Plugin->fields; ?>
</fieldset>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Thank you!!

Hi,

I am looking to upgrade my website www.christelijkeboeken.info to joomla 2.5 Sadly the component I used, Alphacontent does not exist anymore. So I decided to switch to K2.
I was using !Joomlacomment and have already imported that comments in comment.
When I import the articles in K2, the comments are not imported. I can use the plugin JC-K2 to show the Jcomment window, but it does not show the old comments. Is there a way to do this? The comments are very important to the site. There are about 500 comments.
I do have a testsite with a test database.

Regards,
Jofeltje

Hi,

I have a 1.5.26 joomla site which has been attacked and K2 users has been compromised and used to help a porn download site gain my users... As a result I am now blocked by Google and I have a lovely skull and crossbones and a warning to leave appear as you enter my site.

I tried your download to update the site and this bought the whole site down with a fatal error as follows:

Fatal error: Class 'K2Model' not found in MySite....

How can I upgrade my vulnerable K2 2.4.1 to the newest version without losing my site again?

Help - please.

I just upgraded my website from 1.5 to 2.5 using jpgrade and reinstalled k2 for version 2.5. However, now in my menu manager beside each menu item it says: Component 'com_k2' does not exist

I cannot link to any items now. Any ideas on how to fix this. I tried reinstalling and also tried adding a new menu item and using k2 - item. That works, but it will not link to a k2 item.

Thank you in advance.
Lillian

Hi all!

I'm totally new to K2! i've just upgraded my site to Joomla 2.5 and i'm looking for an "easy" way to display de motorcycles that we sell.

I've searched the interweb for a good way but came up empty. So surfing the joomla site I noticed the site www.opelmadeira.com which is made with K2 and is exactly what I like to do for my own.
When you look for the cars the have a nice line up of every model with a picture. that connects to a new page with the key specs.
But what are they using exactly? and is there a possibility to get a step-by-step guide for noobs like myself.

thanks for the help!

My website uses FJ Related Blog Articles Component which achieves, to a limited extent, what I require. The site (www.PalermoProtocol.com) is dedicated to the issue of human trafficking and its victims. I can list articles (showing the first few words of some articles) based on a selection of keywords. This allows me to create, in effect, a database of articles for a particular term based on a number of keywords. Say, for example, I want to create an FJ Related menu item for articles that refer to the United Nation. I create the menu item, advising which, if any, category articles are to be used and I list the keywords to search for (eg. UN, U.N., UNHCR, UNODC, ILO, etc). Thus all UN articles are pulled together transparently.

There are, however, limitations. For example with the present configuration I cannot use ShareThis on individual items. Neither can readers comment on individual items.

I have tried to upgrade the website using K2 and had hoped that its tag functionality would allow me to do so. Alas I have spent countless hours and considerable money downloading components that proved to be of no use.

I have over 2500 articles, each with many meta keywords. Some keywords are synonmous with others, as explained above. If I migrate to K2 these will be imported as keywords. What I need then is either:

1. a replacement blog which can display all those articles which contain ANY of the specified keywords (eg. UN, U.N., UNHCR, UNODC, ILO, etc).

OR

2. a cloud which allows me to specify a tag (eg. UN) but which also allows me to create syonymns for that tag (eg. U.N., UNHCR, UNODC, ILO, etc).

OR

3. Some other suggestion

What intrigues is how many other people I have encountered who want something similar and how natural a progression just this kind of functionality ought to have been when tags were introduced, for they enable the link to be broken between categories and articles.

Got the same issue, we are 3 members to get this issue since we have upgraded to the newest K2
but it seems that K2 is not considering our request :(

Hi

after i upgraded to the latest k2 version i observed that my rss feeds are not working. Below is the rss link:

www.profilnet.gr/index.php/eidiseis/alouminio/teleftaia-nea?format=feed

When i click on an rss validator i get the following error
feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.profilnet.gr%2findex.php%2feidiseis%2falouminio%2fteleftaia-nea%3fformat%3dfeed

I install K2 when I was on J 1.6. It shows me an error, and I try to uninstall. After that, I upgrade my J1.6. to J2.5.8. I try to install K2 again and it not possible. I see com_k2 in extension manager (4 times), but on Files manager it doesn't exist. How to uninstall component's (4 x com_k2) and install it again?






:unsure:

The access was all set to public across the board already. I changed them to registered and back to public. The issue is still occurring.

When I switched the articles to registered the main page showed that there were no longer 40 pages of articles, and when i switched it back that page count returned.

check the access also

Hello William,
Thank you for the quick response and the pointer to that tip article. Unfortunately I am not sure it applies since I am not moving from 1.5 to Joomla 1.7 (there is no new J1.7 Super User ID). This is 100% inside a single version of Joomla; 1.5.26.

I reviewed the instructions and changed the id of the created/modified user to someone else as well just to test. This did not fix my issue.
