This is awesome, thanks Jorge!

I just did my jupgrade today, and ran into the same problem.

As I have no clue on how to edit my database could somebody enlighten me

Have about 500 items so I would really like to save some time here..........

I also get an error message when opening and saving a category or item:



Also, when I look in the menu I see all these remarks that 'com_K2' does not excist. Any ideas?




Thanks

I have a similar problem, also with sh404sef.

Every time I create a new article, the modules (on the right side in my case) doesn't show.
I have to manually tell sh404sef to add them (by writing correct url with itemid) each time. Sure, that works, but it's some job to do as it also means I have to add them to tags etc.

Has anyone had this problem?

Edit:
Found this solution but I would rather find a solution without making changes in code (as it will disappear when I upgrade)

1. Go to modules/mod_k2_tools/tmpl/search.php

and add this line in front inside of some php:

$Itemid = JRequest::getInt( ‘Itemid’);

then on line 16 change this:

<form action=”<?php echo JRoute::_(‘index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=search’); ?>” method=”get”>

to:

<form action=”<?php echo JRoute::_(‘index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=search&Itemid=’.$Itemid); ?>” method=”get”>

2. Go to components/com_k2/helpers/route.php

on line 111 you see this:
$link = 'index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=tag&tag='.urlencode($tag);

if ($item = K2HelperRoute::_findItem($needles)) {
$link .= '&Itemid='.$item->id;
}
;

change it to this:
$link = 'index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=tag&tag='.urlencode($tag);

$Itemid = JRequest::getInt( 'Itemid');

$link .= '&Itemid='.$Itemid;

Big, MASSIVE, GIANORMOUS thanks to you. I was pulling my hair out when I kept getting the errors (deleted the upgraded website, reinstalled jUpgrade and started all over again, and got the same problem), then I was pulling my hair out again when I thought I had to change EVERY K2 category and item to public.

The script for the database is a LIFE SAVER! Thanks again!

OK this is solved. Problem was with old translation files.
When I removed those files from BO everything vos OK.

Hi I use J1.5 and when I upgrade the k2 component to latest verzion all k2 is in this form
K2_EDIT_ITEM, K2_BACK_TO_TOP, K2_READ_MORE

I did the same thing on other site and there is ok and no problems.

I upgraded my website with jupgrade and then reinstalled K2.
Everything looks ok in backend but it is blank page or 404 error in frontend while changing templates.

So, I tried everything and found out that my categories get listed both in current view and in trash view(but without check boxes in trash view).

I have no trashed items.

So I searched in database the trash column but it says "0" to all. I don't see where the problem is.

I recently upgraded to the latest version of JCE and K2, but they don't seem to be working together at all. I've done the whole "profiles" thing in JCE, but that still doesn't stop the frontend editor from displaying incorrectly. Whenever someone goes to edit an article, the editor box gets repeated down the lightbox page. None of them allow you to save any edits to the article, and none of the buttons work.

And even before I upgraded, the search in the backend did not work. Please help!

I am having a problem with K2 Videos (Locally hosted) not playing in my k2 articles. The video loads but never plays. See attachment:

I have tried disable plugins, moving plugins around all without success. Can someone please help point me in the right direction to solve this problem.

Thanks and let me know if more information is required. Will PM.

As Thorsten Renz pointed out, its always good to use template override. For the css part, i will suggest to have a custom css file loaded last. Like add a css link to a specific file in your index.php. The browser will use the css values from this file. Even if you upgrade K2 the default css file will not replace your custom css file.

Eg: have a new css file in your template's css folder. like myfile.css and link to it in your index.php

Thank you for your advice. I will also have a go at this, I assume I will have to give the classes the same name as the k2.css file otherwise there will be a lot of changes to do in categories/items.

I just got the Disqus comments extension and installed it on my joomla 1.7 template with K2 2.5 already installed. Disqus is not coming up in the K2 articles. Is there an upgrade i need to make this work? Please help.

Good evening,

I've been using K2 for a few months now.

This week I upgraded Joomla to the newest version of 1.5.x (1.5.25).

Everything works great, except for one thing:
When I submit a comment, everything works great; the page refreshes and I'll see the comment. The only thing is, that the comment and the user details will stay in the commenting boxes.

Normally, this would be reset to the default values.

This is the working site: www.stefanfrerichs.nl/koos
This is the site where it goes wrong: www.gowithit.nl/koosupgrade

Upgraded to K2 v2.5.4

Still unable to select an item(article)

Ciao a tutti,
uso k2 da molto tempo e non ho mai avuto problemi ma ora non so come districarmi. Ho upgradato k2 all'ultima versione semplicemente installando l'ultima versione come indicato qui nel sito di k2 e purtroppo ora è tutto danneggiato tanto nel front end che nel back end come potete vedere sul sito
www.giuliettochiesa.it

cosa posso fare?
grazie
Agnese

I upgraded my K2 to v2.5.4 and the issue still persists....

Got the exact same problem here.
I have version 2.5.1 and tried to upgrade to 2.5.4 with no luck. The message I got back is:

JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file
Path does not have a valid package.


In any case I downloaded it again to make sure nothing happened while getting the zip file.
I also uploaded it via FTP and called from "Install from Directory /path" option with the same result!

the xml file exist and I checked the content, all seems to be in order as an xml file! and that's the end of the line.
I really wonder what’s wrong. In the meantime I have successfully uploaded/installed other extensions letting me believe that all settings at the server are ok.

Can it be another extension within the K2 area that has made some changes and that for not allowing the upgrade to work properly?

any hint / help would be highly appreciated.

Hi.

It's not built into K2 (and I've asked this to Fotis personally so he's aware of it). With K2.4.1 I've used a free extension from Dioscouri called "Hider" but I don't believe it was upgraded to J!1.7 (I put together a tutorial on how to use it here: www.yanaku.com/k2/only-show-k2-intro-text-to-unregistered-users )

For J1.7, I've been considering using this extension to replace Hider:
www.greatjoomla.com/extensions/plugins/core-design-access-text-plugin.html
but I've not used it yet so I can't vouch for it, there are some others that implement this type of functionality.

You could also do an override in the category.php to force it to show unregistered user the intro + link but a click to the item will result in just a login page which is not too user friendly. The advantage of using these plugins is that you can include verbiage to explain to the user why they should register which is much nicer and will improve your retention.

Good luck.

Hi Guys,

I upgraded to version 2.5.4 and now I get the followin error on my site: www.bradleystilwell.com

Fatal error: Call to undefined function shMustCreatePageId() in /home/content/j/a/b/jabar/html/v2/components/com_k2/sef_ext/com_k2.php on line 142

Please help!

hi, i have version 2.5 (SVN) -- at least that's what it says on my K2 dashboard. When I try to install 2.5.4 I get:

-1 - An error has occurred.
Copy failed.

All the K2 directories under Permssions are writeable.

Any tips on how I should proceed? Would manual copying be the the right thing to do, or could that screw things up?

Please let me know.

all best
tench

Hi Kostas,

You just need to edit the k2.css files or better option would be to override the k2 css properties in yoo's custom.css file. So that when you upgrade K2, you don't need to make the changes again.
