I have the same issue... but I can't upgrade the k2 component because I made a lot of changes in the code and templates.

Do you know how to fix it?

I have to upgrade my k2 version? Where I find the file?

Hi Lefteris!
Thank you for yours indeed!

I upgraded K2 to latest SVN. It works great ... but meta tag "description" description issues are still present.

edited as was not accurate enough - more in the next post:
I think that is not K2 bug as on the other my website it is OK.

Here is what I found:
- K2 item created in existing K2 category linked to the existing menu items - takes meta tag "description" from category and even if it is moved to the brand new K2 category it is still with old K2 category mata tag!
- K2 item created in the brand new K2 category AND linked to the NEW menu is OK (even if it is moved to the existing K2 category it has its own metatags!
- K2 item created in the brand new K2 category AND linked to the OLD menu is corrupted
- if I copy the existing K2 item and move it to the new K2 category AND linked to the NEW menu it is OK - it has its own meta tag "description"

So it must be something with the existing menu items and K2 category code - item saved in this category somehow gets bad metatags.

Do you have any idea what files/tables should I check?

My test site (viev of the category with K2 items) is here:

Hi. I read this in new update K2:

We've also upgraded the Facebook meta tags to use the OpenGraph spec. Previously Facebook had stopped supporting the "image" meta tag which K2 used. So sharing on Facebook should now work as intended :)

I upgrade my K2 to K2 v2.6.1 and joomla is 2.5.6

but still when I want to share article on FB there is only text without picture.

Can someone explain what is going on? Thanks.

Thanks for the file. However I had to edit the file mod_k2_nivoslider.php to make the slider appears. So here is the final module I uploaded to my site (www.thegreatbalance.com). I was able to upgrade to K2 v.2.6.1

.

hello guys, I am just now discovering how awesome k2 is and I have some general queries about it

1. k2 tags - how useful are they, are they only to facilitate searching within k2 articles or do search engines like google use them as well? If a k2 article has tags, but I choose not to show them to the person viewing the artcle, are they still useful for searching/search engines?

2.some of my articles have titles using the greek alphabet, in joomla, all greek titles are automatically converted to latin caracter title aliases, but in k2 they remain greek, should I manually input title aliases in latin characters for greek articles? are latin characters more search engine friendly?

3. the different items in the k2 user module do not have their own classes and so it is impossible to individually style them, I had to go into the module code and manually input classes on each item which is ok for now, but I am worried that when I upgrade k2 in the future the changes will be lost, is there a way to effect the changes so that they will not be affected by an upgrade?


thank you for your time everybody

Hi. K2 2.6.x has a lot of changes in order to add compatibility with Joomla! 3.0. This means that if your site use any K2 related extensions you need to update them also. I would recommend to first update to K2 2.5.7 and then to K2 2.6.1. In any case remember to backup your files and database in case something goes wrong.

Hi all,

I've encountered a problem with tags containing extended symbols after upgrade from J1.5 + K2.4 to J2.5 + K2 2.6.1. For example, I cannot use '&' symbol it tags. In previous version, URL of tag with that symbol was encoded like "tag=Bang+%26+Olufsen", now it's encoded incorrectly "tag=Bang+&+Olufsen" that lead to 404 page. Any ideas how to fix this?

Old methods getk2.org/community/New-to-K2-Ask-here-first/150692-Bugs-with-non-standard-symbol-in-tags#150692 seems obsolete.

Thanks in advance!

Dear community:

I'm seeing that there is a release of k2 v2.6.1 that fixes several bugs and the best, which is compatible with joomla 1.5.

I have installed the 2.54 k2 on joomla 1.5 k2 I would like to update the new release, I would like to explain to me how I can do this in the best way.

In advance thank you very much for your input.

Hi William,

Thanks - and I liked the Mission Impossible reference :lol:

We inherited the multisite configuration from a preceding agency, but have upgraded it to J2.5. The K2 tables are in fact different for the two sites - they just share the same image directory. That's how the clash of item IDs and images came up.

Starting new items from 10000 seems to be working fine - K2 is happily auto-incrementing on the site that we have deployed the changed to.

Thanks again.

Cheers,
Paul

Same here guys!

Just upgraded from 2.4.1 to 2.6.1 and have other errors I have put up in other posts but also getting the
Model class usersModelUsers not found in file. Message in Users section.

I am upgrading K2 so that I can then upgrade to J2.5.7

J1.5.26
php5.3.10

Hi,

With the last upgrade K2, this problem is solved.

Joomla 2.5.7
K2 2.6.1

I have just upgraded from K2 2.4.1 to K2.6.1 in a Joomla 1.5.26 site.
I have done this as my next step in the next few weeks is to upgrade to Joomla 2.5

In the backend when in item view, If i Click on change author, it no longer opens as a dropdown or popup, but opens up the users in a new page without any sort of navigation.

If I click on one of the authors to change the author nothing happens at all. The only thing I can do is hit the back button in browser.

I have used Akeebas Admin tools to check and fix permission and also same for database. Also I have tried reinstalling K2.6.1, without any luck

For me this is quite urgent.
Is there a fix/solution?
Can I revert back to K2 2.4.1

I do have full akeeba backup, but at this moment dont want to reinstall site, but i have that option in worst case scenario.

Thanks,

Andy

Hello I have recently upgraded to j2.5 but I have few issues with K2
1. it doesnt translate some texts such as published in etc...
2. there are social sharing links but no buttons

do you have any idea where can be the problem?

thank you for your help

i use k2 and allvideos, both are nice extensions! i use allvideos like this way.


i can set two video size for the same video: "A size" in item view and a smaller thumbnail "B"size for category view.

however, i have some questions.

1, how to set k2 media (video) size for related items (no options for setting size),

i found this on my site.
before i upgrade k2 to 2.61, the size for related items automatically equal to the size of category view.
after upgrade k2 to 2.61, the size for related items automatically equal to the size of item view.

related items layout should be thumbnails, so i want to know how to set a size for related items video in item view.


2,can modify K2 template to show k2 media (video) in tag results and search results ?

found the code
"<?php echo $this->item->video; ?> "
to show k2 media (video) in the files category_item.php and item.php in k2 template folder.

i want to show the k2 media in tag results view and search results view although k2 do not provide the option to do that in the backend.
i add the "<?php echo $this->item->video; ?> " to the tag.php and search.php, it doesn't change anything, k2 media (video) block does not showed.
if it can, how to set the size?

any suggest will be appreciated.

Ok: The issue is that I am unable to bring images into K2 pages.

The html page code sent previously is what was produced when viewing source code of blank page produced after trying to save image from the front end. As I do not understand code I passed it along in case there was something useful.

I also tried viewing source code of the blank page that resulted when trying to save image from the back end. In this case no source code is produced it is truly a blank page.

I really like K2 and my community users are very excited about the capabilities. Does anyone have any additional ideas as to how to solve this problem.

I am unable to identify any additions or changes that were made to the system that could have caused the problem. As I have mentioned previously the only change that has been made since the installation of K2 is the upgrade to the current version of JCE. Nevertheless, in the coming days I intend to disable each extension one by one to see if a conflict can be identified. As my available time is very limited it will no doubt take some time to complete this task.

Alternatively, I am looking for options for a way forward. A fix for the existing issue would be ideal, but if no fix exists, what are the next best options?
For instance:
1) if I uninstall K2 and reinstall might the problem be solved?
2) if so, will all of the items, categories and images be deleted.
3) If yes, is there any practical way to export items, categories, and images and then import back into a clean installation.

I greatly appreciate any and all help.

Thodiris - thankss greatly!!!!!! This is a step in the correct direction. It appears that the entire com_users folder has been removed. It must have been extracted somehow via an upgrade is what I guess.

Still a problem exists when I call to log out. I am guessing an additional folder or subs is gone missing. I wonder if this is still tied to the k2 upgrade.

Yes, that did the trick, Lefteri! Thank you so much!
