Stella said:Probably William refers to 2.4.1 version, have you upgraded to it?

Ohh... I thought it was in some core file
Thanks Stella!

Stella said:Hi Enrique, I faced the same issue, the version of K2 is defined in the language file administrator/language/en-GB.com_k2.ini
K2_COPYRIGHTS=K2 v2.4 \| Copyright © 2006-2010 JoomlaWorks

So every time is necessary to upgrade manually the version in your language file.

Hi Enrique,
I faced the same issue, the version of K2 is defined in the language file administrator/language/en-GB.com_k2.ini
K2_COPYRIGHTS=K2 v2.4 \| Copyright © 2006-2010 JoomlaWorks

So every time is necessary to upgrade manually the version in your language file.

back up before proceeding
instruction in blog post say copy over previous version. I take that to mean install over the top of the existing k2 version.
Give that a try, but back up first...akeeba has good tools for backup

Now 2.4 is also available but dont know how to upgrade from 1.0.2 version.

anyone please guide..

Seems that the upgrade to 2.4 strips out inline swf files. ie you can't add a flash movie to an article.

Hi,How can I upgrade my K2 component , i have following version installed.(Last update: May 12th, 2009 - v1.0.2b)Thanks Naveen

I don't think the url generation code in the k2_tools module uses the same technique as elsewhere, so there's no code to make the url's sh404sef compatible afaik. You would probably need to patch that yourself at this point. Maybe you could get Lefteris to give it the once over. Needless to say, nothing like this would work automatically, but I'm assuming that the sh404SEF overrride ability would kick in. I don't have a copy of sh404SEF myself to play with, so I can't be much more help than that, but the overall support for it was upgraded recently via some patches to the next version, so if you find those commits it might shed light on what you would need, or the sh404SEF folks have patched certain things in the past and might be willing to look into it.

I cant belive that this problem still exists as this thread started in january.

My website look like shit with only one column, so can u please provide us with a fix ASAP?

Does the creator of this component realize that this bug is extremly frustrating?

Eclat said:Hi I am using version 2.3. I don't believe I am overriding the default K2 template view as there is no option to do so in the parameters and I have not changed any of the core files.
Lefteris Kavadas said:Hi. Which version of K2 are you using? Please upgrade to the latest stable version of K2. Also make sure that you are not overriding the bundled K2 template file for this view. If so check your code. Eclat said:HI I am having the exact same problem and this is proving to be most frustrating. All of the latest items display vertically in one column and I looked at latest.php and there does not seem to be any setting to take the width/column from the parameters set for the menu item. I am not good enough in php to hack the code, any help would be really appreciated please! Mauricio González said:WORKAROUND!!! For the problem of the two categories published, but only one needed> Create a 2nd dummy category, and set its permissions to special and dont it.

In the menu item that points to the latest items, configure it to show the dummy category and the one that you DO want to show.

It should show only the items of the PUBLIC category. Only special users will see the title of the dummy category show up.

MY QUESTION IS,

The primary, secondary and links configuration makes no changes in the "latest items" view, only in category view.

Taking a look at the file in the template folder, the "latest.php" file is lacking the php code that tells it to identify the primary, secondary and links configuration.

HOW CAN THIS BE SOLVED?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,

For me, it's a bug in the K2ModelItemlist::getCategoryChilds function declaration & code.

File : 'components/com_k2/models/itemlist.php', line 444 (v2.3)

The 2nd parameter is set to 'false' by default but should be 'true' by default to reset the childs array on each external function call.
In the function code, the function is called recursively, and it should be called with a 2nd parameter set to 'false'.

I've already made these changes and waiting for a correction. In 2.4 ?

William White said:Martin, is this a bug that needs to be fixed or has this been fixed in 2.3 or a svn? (since its a change to the core file that will be lost on upgrade or reinstall)

Not sure what you need of if this is the correct thread to be posting to.

Abdul Muhaymin said:HI SIMON, hope u are there,
please help me with item in multiple categories, please add this feature to 2.4 and release soon, my host disk space is getting low day by day and there are a lot of items

Simon Wells (K2 Support) said:As far as I am aware, 2.4 will not have any additional changes to its ACL. How far off is Alpha J1.6 release?
Another couple of months at least is what I have been told from inside the 1.6 dev camp, that will be all dependent on if Joomla team leader continue to upset the community devs that I keep hearing about.

For those that have existing sites on 1.5, i guess there will be a slow migration to 1.6 whilst they ensure an easy upgrade.
Other extension devs will be cautious to wait and ensure that enough details are available to assist in upgrading their products to 1.6
I wonder how many of the main core extension will actually be ready when 1.6 is released.

JACL just seems a bit clunky to me at the moment and personally would prefer to stick with 1.5 and k2 acl until something solid is available.

I’m having problem uploading Gallary Images to my K2 Blog, I’m running blog site on Joomla 1.5 with K2 ver. 2.3 and Simple image gallery pro ver 2.0.4 (Fresh Installation)
My server maximum file upload size is 10MB, so do my Joomla 10MB.

Whenever I create a new article in K2 and try to upload Compressed Zip folder to my Article (post) I receive after a while confirmation that my article been published, however when I check my article the gallery is not there, also the gallery does not appear in K2 > Article > Image Gallery ..
It Just gives me a regular upload page but no images in it…

I have another site running the same configuration running perfectly, I wonder how to start troubleshooting this error and from where I should look to solve it…

Tip : my host standard max upload file was 2MB and the admin upgraded it to me to 10MB, i have tested JFUpload Pro and managed to upload files larger than 8MB.


Thanking you,

Upgraded to work with K2 v2.3, and fixed a bug that prevented people who posted comments from voting.

Oliver,
Thanks for the speedy response. I was worried about future upgrades to k2 and the edited core files. I guess there is no other way around that...

Olivier Nolbert said:Irish,
You're understanding well, it must be an override of the core files if you want to integrate your modifications in the K2 controller & model files.

You can also add a 'copy button' in your new view template to links to your own controller & model files that can be placed in K2 related folders...

Hi all,i've search a lot but i'vent found a solution for this, so i ask to who is better than me (sorry for my bad english)here is the problem:i've an environment that use FTP to gives correct permission to files into my Linux hosting server, so i've to use FTP to avoid that files become owned by apache:apache instead to correctuser:correctgroup, making a disaster with permission.i've just started to use K2, finding a fantastic upgrade of possibilites to joomla, and i'm making a test site to a group of my friends to make their happy and for me to learn how K2 works.but at now, the cold shower:avatars doesn't load from the frontend, when from the backend all goes well.i've start investigate and i've discovered that all the materials that i've upladed from backend goes up correctly via FTP and is assignet to correctuser:correctgroup , but if i upload something from the frontend it belongs to apache:apache, that happens when someone doesn't use the FTP correcty configured in Joomla and use instead an HTTP upload.Obviously for me this is a disaster: the most important thing in K2 try to make to us the most dangerous security leak? can't be true, there's obviously some kind of misconfiguration from me.But i've searched a lot all around and i've found nothing about it.can someone say to me what i've made wrong?

Thanks Lefteri! You really helped me a lot!
I would like to buy you a beer! :D

Lefteris Kavadas said:Yes if you disable that plugin it will work. This plugin was added in Joomla! 1.5.20 and upgrades the mootools library. We modified K2 so now it works with this. So you have to wait for the next release of K2. The SVN version contains the latest changes of K2 but it is not considered stable. If your site is still under development you can try the SVN version. You can find it at getk2.org/svnDownload.php.
Manos said:Hi Lefteri nad thanks for your reply. So if I disable the mootools upgrade plugin (System - Mootools Upgrade), it will resolve the problem? And what is the SVN version?
Lefteris Kavadas said:Hi. You are using Joomla! 1.5.20 with the mootools upgrade plugin enabled. If you need the mootools upgrade then you have to wait for the next release of K2 which is compatible with the latest mootools library. Or you can try the SVN version.
