Hi all,

 

i have made a upgrade to version 2.4.1 but in backend always showing K2 V2.2

also the funtionality for example Frontend and Jomfish are not working.

 

By the Intstallprocess no errors occure.

 

anyone a Idea?

 

regards

Matthias

We use mootools 1.1 but upgrade to 1.2.4 makes no diffence to my issie.

However - we have now discovered, that the reason is that we have jquery.tools.min.js loaded as part of a slideshow on the K2 items, which we have had developed by a consultant. If I modify item.php to not load this, the error stops...

So now I'm focusing on how to have jquery.tools.min.js loaded together with mootools and standard Jquery...

If anyone have any hints to this, I'm all ears ;)

 

Thanx for your input!

Hi.

 

Easiest solution would be to set 

div.itemExtraFields ul li span.itemExtraFieldsLabel {display: none; }

in your k2.css file (make sure you use templates overrides so your changes don't get erased when you upgrade K2).

What version of mootools are you using? I'm using the system mootools upgrade (1.2.4) with no problems.

I'm incredibly glad that I've been using K2 for just about all of the websites that we have built in 2010. 

 

I can see it possibly being easier to upgrade from J1.5 + k2 to J1.6 + k2 as K2 is a layer on top of Joomla with its own database tables and configuration.

 

Fingers crossed and looking forward to the release in Feb sometime.

Nuno,

Admin Tools just does one to one 301s but .htaccess can also be built with very complex RegEx searches to do global redirections (see httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html ).  

The first thing you have to do is compare your old sitemap with your new one and identify the pattern differences in the URLs.  Hopefully, the page names are the same and only the directory path has changed (otherwise, you probably want to first make the change so that the page names are the same as the old joomla page names before moving on the the redirection phase - it's an almost impossible task otherwise).

 

I'd help you but I'm not a RegEx expert by any means.  I'd suggest you try someone on elance.com, if you give them clear directions, they can probably knock it out in a day or so for relatively little money.

 

Good luck,

 

--Olivier

I could also say to you "It's amazing that someone in charge of a 4K uv a day site would make such a dramatic infrastructure change without testing it locally and planning a proper upgrade path". 
You're right. I've built my site from zero to 4K uvs a day without any knowledge of Joomla, Google or Html whatsoever. I admit I am naif...

The point now is I have a problem to solve, I'm looking for a developer to help me with this task.

I've also tested admin tools, but 301s must be created manually so it won't solve my problem..

 

Thanks for your help.

Nuno,

K2 is a complete replacement of the content component of Joomla and as such, no-one should expect that the transition will be seamless.  There are definitely some things that Joomlaworks could do to ease the transition but blaming them for this is not called for (try any other CCK out there, you'll run into the same things).

 

As far as how long it takes Google to remove old pages from its index, there is no guaranteed timeframe.  Could be couple of days for some URLs, could be months for others.  Even if this happens rapidly, you will most likely loose page ranking and that can take a really long time to regain (not to mention that it's not just Google that's affected but every site and person that had a link to your old pages too).

 

If you don't want to learn about 301s running a 4k uv/day site then don't blame anyone else on loosing traffic.

It's amazig K2 developers have not predicted this in advance..

At least, it should be clear that if you install K2 in your Joomla website, your traffic will disappear from one day to the other! Currently, my website traffic dropped from 4K uv per day to 1,2K...

What if I just trash the whole Joomla content and submit a site map to google? How long will take to rebound?

 

Thanks Olivier Karfis, I'll check that tool!

I am developing in the MAMP/MAMP Pro (PHP 5.3) environment using the Rocket Theme Crystalline template. The site also has active SOBI2 and K2 installed. This had been working fine for the past many months. Recently, I decided to use the Syndicate template and did a standalone install. I also upgraded Gantry (now 3.1.6) and installed the most recent RokNavMenu a couple of days ago (forgot the version).

When I tried to load with Syndicate I have a blank screen.

Here is the contents of the php_error log:

The version I believe I have is 1.2.1.

I searched my system for files with the name jwsig.php and noticed the following:

mamp/htdocs/irc/plugins/content/jwsig.php

mamp/htdocs/irc/plugins/content/jw_sig.php

I've also attached a screen shot with error message displayed on a page.

Can anyone provide some insight into this?  I appreciate any assistance.

Hi to all

 

I try to update from 2.2 to 2.4.1 with the instalation panel, it says installed on gray and the k2 component on the backend still says 2.2

 

The k2 front template breacks apart so i merge the old one to fix it.

 

I check all the folder permission and they are correct.

 

How can I fix this?

 

Thanks for your help!!!

I will check into this.

My experience with K2 started at V2.1 but will look into it.

Exactly - I have an exact copy, of both the files and the database, that's how I was able to get the site back up, but the errors... I'm not sure why they're there, when I uploaded the backup.

Maybe lesson to next time have exact copy at your localhost and do every upgrade there first.

I just checked to see, but not the case, they're using PHP 5.2.14

 

I'm at a loss still. I don't know what to do anymore, because I'm not familiar with Joomla and I don't want to delete her articles accidentally. Does anyone know where I can find simple instructions on how to re-install without losing the old database? I tried following the Upgrade instructions, but that didn't work, so I'm hoping someone else besides the developer may have written up something or maybe another forum post, anything! The developer has not responded to me AT ALL... I've tried contacting him twice now, no response

Maybe your hosting provider simply upgraded to PHP 5.3.

It would be best to do an override and edit either category.php, category_item.php or item.php in the override directory.

Move the lines k2 2.4.1 item.php line 44-48, add an endif, just below line 211 where &lt;span class="itemImage"&gt; ends. go back and comment out the line that echo's the title above at line 47. By using an override you will not loose your changes when you upgrade.

back up your site

turn sef and mod rewrite off if it is on and try again

reinstall k2 (be carefull if you have made core changes)

reinstall or upgrade joomla just to be sure its not a problem there

Hello
