Please post your joomla and k2 versions
If you upgraded K2 did you redo any override directories you had in place with the new files?

There is something wrong with your edit item link, if you upgraded k2 did you get the new template files?

Is there any solution for this issue out there? Please!
I upgraded Joomla Joomla! 2.5.7 to Joomla! 2.5.8 and K2, since then, I can't access K2 component. It gives the error:

404 - An error has occurred.
Component not found

Thank you for your help.

I use the k2-override.css that is in my template's (ja_anion) css folder. I use firefox and I highlight the area/text string on the live site then right-click my mouse and select "Inspect Element". I cut and paste the css from the rules panel into my k2-overide.css file, make my changes, save and upload. Of course I always rename the existing override file so I can swap back and forth until I get the changes that I like. And don't forget to back that file up on your hard drive before you do any K2 updates...so your changes won't be overwritten. I found that out the hard way after my first go around with K2. I spent about 200 hours on customizing and figuring everything out ... did a K2 update and lost everything and had to start over...a lot quicker the second time around but...better to take care of business before hand and save yourself the trouble. I also HIGHLY suggest you do an akeeba backup prior to any K2 upgrade. I just upgraded to 2.6.2 (on Joomla 2.5.8) and it ruined my site because it broke the Advanced Module Manager. I lost all of my banner assignments, ja comments no longer worked and a few other things...luckily I took my own advice (rarely do that) and had backed up my previous install and recovered the site so I am good to go and waiting for a bug fix version update.

I'm curious. I must have missed an upgrade version because I was assigning modules (banner modules) to K2 categories and items up until I upgraded K2 today. Now I have no K2 assignment options at all. I have to say this really sucks. What are you guys going to do next? Charge us to post our items? Are we going to do an update one day to find out we have to pay for a "Pro Item Module" upgrade? Then maybe one day the categories disappear and we now have to buy a "Pro Category Module". Nice that you get a captive audience and then make them have to pay. I'm stuck with K2 for now because of the amount of content I have but given I see posts that are months old with no support and now slipping fee based changes on us I think my days with K2 are numbered.

Hmmm maybe I shot first and asked questions later. Now I realize that I am using the Advanced Module Manager and it is on that admin page that the K2 categories appeared before today and I was able to assign my banners to K2 categories and by default child items if selected. Now K2 does not even appear in the advanced module manage. Has this happened to anyone else? It just seems strange that K2 options disappeared after I did a K2 upgrade.

Edit #2. I see William White has posted a question a little over an hour ago on the Nonumber forum:

"Hi, I hope all is well with you and yours!
Has k2 2.6.2 broken advanced module manager again? I am using it to create a persistant module mod_k2_content to list only the item titles above a tabbed k2 item view. The attached image was done by selecting all 9 k2 items in amm. I have tried various setting for selecting the subcategory the items belong to so i dont have to select all the items every time for different modules that should go there with different subcategories, but cannot get the category selection to work. Site is on localhost at the moment, but if the solution is not simple i can put it online for you to veiw.
thanks"

So it looks like K2 2.6.2 has broken the Advanced Module Manager because although I see the K2 option and have it enabled I do not see the K2 option in the AMM menu anymore...

...anyone else have this problem?

It also looks like K2 2.6.2 also breaks JA_Comments. I discovered that this morning when I saw the JA_comments title on every page. Even disabled the component, cleared the cache and it persisted. So I pulled the plug on the update and restored the Akeeba backup I had made prior to upgrading K2. Thank someone's God for that.

Well, once again I am pulling what hair I have left out. I always upgrade K2 with great trepidation. Now, after upgrading to 2.6.2 the option to assign modules to K2 categories and items is....GONE. No K2 option and now my banners are messed up and showing on every page. I have almost no control as most of the site is in K2. In the Options/Extra Settings I have selected show K2. I also notice the default for the modules changed to all after my upgrade.

I have found that the only way I can now control my banners is to use the SEF URL option. But with almost a thousand pages of content...how the heck am I going to manage that?

I have gone through the forum several times and I can't find anyone else that has posted on this problem. I do now see a lot of references to a PAID advanced module option. Is that what has happened? You guys have taken that option our so we are forced to buy a module admin? If that is the case you should have warned us on the update page that our banner and other module assignments were going to disappear and we were going to have to pay for that option. Not very nice if you ask me. Capture the audience and the force them to pay...in talks with Microsoft or Apple are you?

The best way to get J 1.5 articles and categories into J2.5 and k2 is use jupgrade to upgrade the site to 2.5 first, then install k2 and use the built in import joomla content button

forgot to mention that i have the same version of K2 and the same version of the NivoSlider. The Slider disappeared after the upgrade to Joomla 2.5.8., just as you mantioned above

Hi
I had Joomla 2.5.8 + K2 2.5.7 + PHP 5.2
I ugdraded PHP to 5.3
Since then on my modules BNR and Split Content I get warning errors saying "paramater 2 to plgK2Example onK2BeforeDisplay () expected to be a reference, value given in .... /libraries/event/event.php on line 71
I was unable to find a fix
Could someone help please
Thanks

What is weird is that :
1/ if I downgrade it back to PHP 5.2, Split Content works again,
2/ on another server for another site I have PHP 5.3 and split content is fine there !

I found old version 2.5.4 on googlecode, uninstalled 2.6.2, reinstalled on 2.5.4 and everything is fine finaly! yes!!

thnx! I upgraded to 2.6.2 and it works like a charm!

Not a good idea to hack, you will loose your changes on upgrade, and other issues, but it can be done

Hi Katia -

Any new news?  I upgraded a site that used All Videos to J3 based on the announcement several weeks ago that it would be available a few days after the K2 rollout.  The 4.4 version stopped working after the upgrade and attempts to reinstall get hung up on the missing XML file. 

Is there an update to the forecast about what a few days means?  Has anyone actually started work and it's almost done, they hit a barrier and who knows how long until it is solved, or it's still on the list and someone expects it to be a few days until they can start on it, subject to other issues and paying clients popping up with interruptions as they always do. 

Any chance someone has been working on a beta version that can be made available sometime?  Latest idea of when?

Thanks,
Duke3D

K2 v. 2.6 has new variables so you need to download new template overrides package for it.

Hi there,

I had K2 component on my site and it was pretty sweet. But now I've upgraded on version 2.6.2 and when Im trying to view my item, there is ERROR 500. I can see category listing and everything, but when I open the blog item, it gets me ERROR 500.

Joomla 1.5.21, K2 2.6.2 (older version K2 2.5.3 worked fine!)

Anyone can help?

See the problem here -> www.merge-studio.cz/blog

Thanks a lot guys

Thank you - if it's been specifically addressed in the new release I will try doing a complete new install. Upgrading to the latest K2 even on my test site which isn't cached in Facebook didn't help, so perhaps some old code remains when you do an upgrade?

Hello all

It's been a while since I've asked for help here, but I don't see this in the forum and it's puzzling me.

We've upgraded a 1.5 site to 2.5 migrating K2 and Virtuemart and the only changes are
- we stopped using joomfish and use joomla language filter+josetta
- stopped using sh404sef and are using the standard joomla SEF with mod_rewrite and the 301 redirector for old urls.

It's an ecommerce site and most content is based in VM, with K2 being used as a replacement for com_content for all the static pages an the promotions. Currently, aprox 400 k2 items and 200 VM products.

Our current SEF structure is something like www.mydomain.com/top_menu_level/second_menu_level.html

All appeared to be OK after the migration and in the live server and it's been working for the past three weeks.
However, since the last K2 upgrade, the SEF url's are changed and, when editing a k2 category menu item we now get a sef url www.mydomain.com/top_level_menu/Category/second_level_menu.html

It's quite strange, because it happened when editing one menu item and suddenly all the other "k2 category" menu items got the "/Category/" in the middle of the url. The only way to solve it was to edit the url's directly in the database, which is not a good practice.

Has anyone experienced this?
Is there a way to provent that from happening (hopefully a customization rather than a hack that will be lost on the next component upgrade)?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

along with this issue which I have only been able to find a hack-fix (replacing the standard apostrophes ' with the curly ones ’ ) I am also having a lot of problems with the images when posting to Facebook. All of this happened after I upgraded from J1.5 to J2.5.

Did something happen to the database? The template? K2 version? I have no idea the cause of the issues and so I am stuck for a solution. Any help, even pointing me into a direction I can investigate would be really appreciated.

Update - If you upgrade to 2.6.2 this process will get much eaiser
