Solved: Upgrade to 2.5.7 with no errors

Category: English K2 Community

Hello,

it's my first article over here and i wanted to describe how to upgrade your (Powered by k2 ) website
and i already tried this method in a joomla website which have more than 20,000 article in k2 items and it succeed well. so let's go.


* THIS IS A MANUAL WAY TO UPGRADE YOUR K2 COMPONENT AND WE WILL USE MYSQL QUERIES
* REQUIREMENTS:
1)AKEEBA BACKUP [ Download ]

2)ADMIN TOOLS [ Download ]

3)ADMINER 3.6.1 [ Download ]

4)FRESH COPY OF JOOMLA 2.5.7 [ Download ]
5) A CUP OF TEA WILL HELP YOU ;)

* YOU DON'T NEED SO MUCH PROGRAMMING SKILLS TO APPLY THIS TO YOUR SITE BUT I STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO BACKUP YOUR DATABASE AND FILES USING AKEEBA BACKUP AND STAY AWAKE WHILE THE UPGRADE PROCESS.



Firstly : i like to describe the condition
Now you have your old website usually it's a joomla 1.5.25 please upgrade if older
1) go to your old site administrator area and install akeeba backup and admintools via [install/unistall]
2) backup your site using akeeba backup
3) go to [components / admin tools / Database table prefix editor]
4) in the New prefix field write any 3 or 4 digits ( numbers or letters or both ) ends with underscore _ and remember it for example i will use ( os25_ )

5) Create a new empty database using the same username of the old database
6) Go to your website's root directory and create a folder named for example [ Upgraded ]
7) install your fresh copy of joomla 2.5.7 into this directory using database in step [ 1 ] and while installation you will be notified what the New prefix for the new site is, so change it to be the same like your old site.
8) then install k2 component in the fresh copy of joomla.
9) inside the [Upgraded] directory create another directory called [adminer] and upload the adminer files after extracting it from the downloaded archive.
10) access the [adminer] script and you will find it at ( http:www.yoursite.com/Upgraded/adminer ) and enter you [database name,username and password].
11) after successful login you will see in the left area of the adminer script a drop down list contains your databases the old and the new one [this is at least] but ( you may see other databases... just ignore ).
12) choose the new one and select all k2 tables and drop them i]select tables and scroll to the bottom of the page to find a drop button[/i.
13) go to your old database and select all k2 tables and scroll down to find a copy command
- select your new database and press copy.
14) open to your new database ( also using adminer ) and press ( SQL command ) in the left area.
15) you will see a big text area put these command lines below and press execute ( one command line per time )



* Attention
- OLD_ID is the id of the user from the old site ( this may be more than one if so repeat this line for each user ) you can find it in the old site's [user manager] in administrator area.
- NEW_ID is the id of the user from the new site ( this the new fresh site super admin's id ) you can find it in the new fresh site's [user manager] in administrator area too.
- PREFIX is the PREFIX of the tables of the new site it is the same like old as we said.

First command line :-

He migrado con jUpgrade pero no K2, ni JCE

Category: Comunidad hispana oficial de K2

Tras muchos intentos en los que se quedaba como parado, He conseguido que jUpgrade termine el proceso de migrar. Ha migrado más o menos según lo previsible muchas cosas, pero a pesar de que ha hecho el proceso de migración de algunas extensiones de terceros como K2 y JCE, resulta que ni están en el menú como instaladas, aunque sí aparecen en sus carpetas como si lo estuvieran.

El el caso de K2 no se han migrado ni artículos, ni categorías.

¿Alguien me puede acosejar qué hacer?

Extended Fields not saving anymore was created by Paul Zwarts

Extended Fields not saving anymore

Category: English K2 Community

Greetings,

I just noticed today that my multiselect content in extended fields is no longer saving. I have a field group that has a dropdown, two textedit fields and two multiselect. The other fields are saving, but the multiselect no longer does. It was working a few days ago.

Ive just upgraded to 2.6.1 a few days ago but not sure if this was the culprit.

Ive searched around online but didnt find anything very useful. I did see a k2.js hack which I tried which should do something about field sync, but that didnt help.

Any advice would be appreciated.

If you have upgraded Anthony's captify content, with still no luck, and he said that it was fixed for k2 2.6 i would go to the forum there, and report the problem.
It could be that there is something else causing the problems or captify is partially fixed and needs more work. Give him access to the site, and i feel sure they will be working on it

When we rush to upgrade from stable, tested, and fixed versions of the cms or an extension, we become a part of the testing process in some ways. Sometimes components lag way behind the cms release cycle, especially when there is a short term cycle as in 3.0. I still have stable 1.5 with k2 2.4.1 sites running without errors and with addins that cause no problems along with 2.5 sites with k2 2.5.7.
If it doesnt work when i test it, I wait...and do not hack the core (except for testing and bug reporting) and when I as site owner have tested completely, i go live with upgraded software. This can be seen by the advice given by the official joomla site about who should upgrade to 3.0 and also on many of the different dev's sites answering the same question. Things are in a constant state of evolution.
I guess we as site owners are ultimately responsible


William,

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I agree with you completely on the points you make about open source, free cms and the fact that there are no guarantees with this 'free' method of building a website. My question though, was really trying to understand where I should look to for help in this situation? I've only just begun building my website, so everything that happens on the site now is a learning process and not mission critical. However, the Captify Content module was one of the main attractions of the template design which I decided to purchase for my website. After all, when money exchanges hands, it isn't free any more and the product must operate reasonably as described, no?

Naturally, I have the option to go to the template vendor and get a refund, since it was their product which I purchased and the product is no good to me without the intended compatibility of K2 and Captify Content. However, I don't really want to do this as I would much rather have the product work as described. Hence my earlier question on the K2 Forum, 'who is ultimately responsible?' If it was the K2 update that caused the compatibility issue, (which I assume was the case, since everything was working before the K2 2.6 update) then perhaps the K2 team could indicate the best solution, or even simple acknowledge it was a K2 issue. Failing this, then at least I can move on and find a new template that doesn't use K2, or Captify Content (whichever party is causing the issue).

So essentially I am looking for who might be able to help me, not who might I blame? Once again, I thank you kindly for your time.

Front end vanished to Error 403

Category: English K2 Community

I have just upgraded my K2 extension to 2.6.1 (I use Joomla 2.5.7) and although my back end is absolutely fine the whole of my front end has vanished to be replaced with an error 403 message.

The site is a free to use genealogy site and popular in many parts of the world. I have searched all over the web and can find no way of fixing this. I am a self taught amateur web developer and the current state of the site will be letting a lot of people down.

the site is here:
www.wiltshire-opc.org.uk/genealogy/
I would be very grateful for any help to get us back on line.
Thanks

Hi Stephen,

Let's find out if we have something else in common other than using K2 2.6.1 Stephen,
I'm using a Gavick template but I checked to see if it happens with a default template and it does.
I was using Joomla 2.6 but upgraded to 2.7 which didn't cure the issue.
I had 404sef installed but uninstalled it which didn't cure it.
I am using cloudflare and tried disabling that which didn't cure it.
I tried disabling mod_rewrite and SEO friendly URL's, no change.

I'm running out of possibilities so it's starting to look a little like K2 trouble, but I'm surprised nobody else is having any trouble.

You?

Hi, I have the same problem. After disabling k2mart (plugin) the plugin doesn't show products anymore. Logically because this functionality is disabled.. Does everything really work for you Adam?

Edit: Oh yeah, you're right. I forgot to assign SKU's to my products after reinstalling k2Mart

I would try with the k2 2.5 site and then move up further
first get your 1.5 site up to k2 2.5, then run the upgrade
as i remember there is a post here somewhere with phpmyadmin sql statements that are necessary after the upgrade
first check with phpmyadmin and look to see if your items are in the table k2_items

No K2 data copies over when upgrading 1.5 > 2.5

Category: English K2 Community

In my J1.5 site I have removed a lot of plugins, modules and components that will not work in J2.5 & upgrade everything else to be J2.5 compliant, Including K2.

I have tried to upgrade to J2.5 using jUpgrade as advised by Simon Wells in another post.

Everything upgrades well and once ive installed the new template for J2.5 and tweak a couple of bits the is looking along the normal lines again;

BUT - K2 doesn't seem to upgrade over?, I have tried from 2 test backups of my site one using K2.5.7 and one using k2.6.1, neither of them work?

Is there a setting I need to have made in order to copy K2 over to the new J2.5 environment?

Thanks
Andy

Thanks. I tried V2.2. It did not restore the content. If I can find the 12-2009 version, which I believe is the one I had, then I'll try that one.

I'm probably going to have to revert to my last backup and rebuild the updates to my software.
