I am working on bringing an older Joomla site (currently at 1.15.26) up to date, and last week I updated K2 from version 2.0 to 2.6.2.

After the upgrade all the articles are no longer being rendered on the main page (i haven't lost any data, it just will no longer show up where they were before).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I typed 3 different ways to do it.
if you change the text in the language file it will be global
if you change the css - in the k2 directories it would be global unless your template override it, but you could use css4k2 and apply it to only one category
If you edit an override item.php the change will affect only the item view, if you make the same change to category.php in the override it would work there also, but in both instances it would only affect the category that you had the override assigned to.
Creating an override will protect you from losing your changes on upgrade of your template and or k2

The redirect after profile save was directing correctly from the front end until I upgraded to the Joomla to 2.5.8 and K2 2.6.2. I don't think Joomla is the issue because I have an older copy running 2.5.6 with k2 2.6.2 and having the exact same issue.

I tried different templates, bees etc and the redirect is not working properly as it wants to land on component/users/profile.html after saving the profile. This is not what I have selected in the back end.

I am using a template from Hot Joomla Templates so when the profile is saved it goes to a 404 component not found error. with this page that does not exist: component/users/

Any more ideas that not already been expressed elsewhere in the forum would be greatly appreciated.

I tested with older ver of jce, and also upgraded to your version. Everything works as expected in both k2 items and j articles.

Made what I hope is a good SEO change. I wanted to change my item/article titles from H2 to H1. I checked with Google tech support and having a couple of H1 tags on the page is okay as long as they make sense. I am hoping the change will give my health articles a little more relevance. I'm using a Joomlart template (JA_Anion) Joomla v2.5.8 and K2 v2.5.7. I tried updating my K2 to 2.6.2 but it broke the Advanced Module Manager plugin/display which I really need so I am hoping they can fix that so I can upgrade to the latest version.

So here is how you do it:

Download the "your-template/html/com_k2/default/item.php" file and change the following bit of code. You can see the H2 tags. Just replace them with the H1 and upload...yer good to go.

<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemTitle')): ?>
<!-- Item title -->
<h2 class="itemTitle">
<?php if(isset($this->item->editLink)): ?>
<!-- Item edit link -->
<span class="itemEditLink">
<a class="modal" rel="{handler:'iframe',size:{x:990,y:550}}" href="<?php echo $this->item->editLink; ?>">
<?php echo JText::_('K2_EDIT_ITEM'); ?>
</a>
</span>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php echo $this->item->title; ?>

<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemFeaturedNotice') && $this->item->featured): ?>
<!-- Featured flag -->
<span>
^{<?php echo JText::_('K2_FEATURED'); ?>}
</span>
<?php endif; ?>

and don't forget to make regular Akeeba backups...I spent several hours trying to figure out how to do this, changing many files both css and php and just as I figured it out I broke my site. Luckily I had made a backup last week and was able to restore the site and only had to add a few articles that had been added since the backup.

Hello,

i look at for an alternative of K2Multinotify for joomla 2.5,
The upgrade release looks to be very slow.

Any idea ?

Thanks

Hi,

I am creating a site that relies heavily on K2 extra fields and was therefore very excited by the new release's improvements there - only to discover that the plug-in I've been using to integrate K2 with JomSocial does not support the new release.

Has anyone had success with integrating the new K2 release and JomSocial (I'm using JS 2.6.1 & Joomla 2.5)? Have folks run into other integration incompatibilities with JED extensions that I should be aware of in deciding whether to go through with the upgrade?

Thanks,
Cheryl

Hello,

I have a question about the layout of K2. In the category I have made the setting at Item view options in category listings that media has to hide because I do not have media at all my items. When I do this my layout is completely crazy. When I say show media it gives a black block at the position where the media has to be. Can someone tlle me what is going wrong.

Thanks

The filter stopped returning results after I upgraded to the latest version of K2. So I checked the back-end and the module is returning this error:

Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /nfs/c04/h01/mnt/68436/domains/campspotr.com/html/libraries/joomla/form/fields/text.php on line 52

Eg: here is the front end of the filter... campspotr.com/index.php/search/k2-filter

yes, 2.6.2 does work with 3.0

Thanks for the reply and info.

I am a little confused. I thought K2 version 2.6.2 already worked on Joomla 3.0

After rereading my post, I think I could have been more clear.

I am interested in the upgrade process when using K2 version 2.6.2 when you move from Joomla 2.5 to Joomla 3.0.

It looks like it is a simple process. I just wanted to confirm this fact.

Thanks! -- Steven

No news yet on k2 3.0 version except its mention in the blog posts here.
so good info here docs.joomla.org/Joomla_3.0_FAQ

Hello,

First off LOVE K2! I am so happy I decided to install this fantastic module, as I feel it fits my website perfectly! I recently updated Joomla from 1.6 to it's latest stable version (thanks to jupgrade) and am re-vamping my site with a new design and no out-of-date modules/core versions. K2 seemed like a good choice to manage my articles, however I have noticed a common occurance, and am thinking it may be K2 related, and if not then it may be template related.

I am NOT the greatest coder, so any help is most welcome!

Here is an example page of the width issue, as you can see the images do not seem to honor the 100% width that I have set, falling short.

dothackportal.com/jupgrade/index.php/gamemenu/infectiongamesmenu/hack-infection-characters

Where as here, the width is just fine, and the article is displayed in it's full width.

dothackportal.com/jupgrade/index.php/gamemenu/infectiongamesmenu

With some articles the width is even shorter then the first link I have shown, severely squishing my content together!

I apologize in advance if this is NOT a K2 issue, and is instead a template issue (Using J51's Novation template) but am hoping I can get some insight and help with this matter, it will be most appreciated! :)

P.S. Yes all my versions are up to date!

Thanks so much! Let me me know if you require anymore information :)

What is the process to upgrade K2 from a Joomla 2.5 site to a Joomla 3.0 site?

I tried a few searches but could not find much.

I have a 2.5 site that will be a 3.0 site in a few months, Curious if I should add K2 now or wait till I make it a 3.0 in the future?

Is it an involved process? Do k2 customization have to be reapplied?

I think / hope it is an easy process, just looking for confirmation.

Thanks! -- Steven

Akeeba is my best advice - Backup, move site to localhost - upgrade - test
There are changes to the overrides with 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 for sure, if you are using k2 overrides they will need to be redone

Hi,

I'm currently using the latest K2 v2 6.2. Everything was working fine until I upgraded my Joomla from Joomla 2.5.7 to 2.5.8. I've also upgraded my PHP from php5.2.17 to 5.3.15. I'm not sure what went wrong, most likely its due to the new version of Joomla.

After installing K2, I receive the msg below

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /<mywebsiteurl>/libraries/joomla/database/database/mysql.php on line 375

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /<mywebsiteurl>/libraries/joomla/database/database/mysql.php on line 375

and this leads to all the problems that I've listed in the subject of this post.

What can I do to solve this problem? None of the methods provided in other threads of this forum helps.

Hi,
I upgrade my site from joomla 1.5 to joomla 2.5, i install last version of k2 and follow this guide (www.maxwebtrento.it/guide/guida-migrazione-joomla25-conservare-articoli-k2.html) to import manually from db my k2 articles to the new site.

Import is succesfully but i can't access article because system ask me to login. As i'm new to joomla 2.5 and its new ACL system i can't understand what is the problem.

This is my test site

Could you pls help me?

IN the itmes check the created by, modified by, and access to be sure those values are correct.
Did you have k2 overrides in place before upgrade? did you update the override files to the correct version as per - getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/item/77-k2-template-override-package-comparison

K2 is full upgraded ...
