Do I need to upgrade all the K2 modules with 2.2? I'm also trying to take the user name off the K2 Comments module display - it's disabled, but it's still showing up! Hmmm

yeah. I added them to the end of file where there were no comment marks (#), but you technically you can add them anywhere in the file so long as it's not commented out. It make 20 - 30 mins to see the change. I saw mine pretty much immediately but I remember changing the htaccess file once and having to wait a little while before seeing the change.

I changed the htaccess.txt file to .htaccess in order to get my search engine friendly URLs in place. Thanks for the tip on the two lines to add. I never would have figured that out. I take it you just added them at the end of the file or did they need to go someplace specific?

on my godaddy shared server account i had to rename the htaccess.txt to .htaccess then add the following two lines.

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

This fixed the error for me.

Hi Scyllar,

On k2.css find the class subCategory and add height:auto!important;

You could also open the category.php of your template override (in templates/yourTemplate/html/com_k2/default/category.php) and where it says div class="subCategory" check if there is a style for the height on this element. If you don't have a template override this is not recommended, because on an upgrade you will loose all changes.

I had posted this question on the joomla site also. Looks like my upgrade over the weekend changed my editor options. So I made the change they recommended (switch the functionality to extended). That did give me my options back. I'm wondering however... The formatting issues I have had started with the install of K2. I was under the impression that I had to change the css style to make any adjustments (ie create an itemized list, use multiple paragraphs, etc). I accidentally stumbled upon this tiny mce issue. Now, you recommend using jce. I do not have that plugin. Should I have that standard. Is this what would cause me to be unable to format my articles / items. (btw items that were created and formatted prior to using k2 still show themselves with the formatting in the backend but in the front end it simply shows an ongoing paragraph.)

Sorry so longwinded, as a noob I'm not sure what's important information.

Glad we got working now.
Upgraded SIG Pro V2.0 to V2.0.5

The mod_k2_content module should look for its template first in /modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl. This is where you find a folder called default with a file called default.php .

To make a template override, go to

/templates/YOUR ACTIVE JOOMLA TEMPLATE/html/ and create a folder called mod_k2_content. In this folder you add a new folder with the name of your new template. Copy the default.php file mentioned above into this new folder. You should then get a structure like this for your new template:

/templates/YOUR ACTIVE JOOMLA TEMPLATE/html/mod_k2_content/new-template/default.php

You can not change the name default.php, but you can now go ahead and change this file to suit your need.

The new template appears in the sub-template drop down menu. I have this working in v. 2.3 beta.

If you set up your template override this way, it will not be lost when you upgrade k2. But you should of course make regular backups of your site. If you have not done it yet, check out Akeeba Backup.

Hi Tarun

I am not sure what you what me to do as it is beyond the time I have available to write up a complete guide for you to be able to do this, it would end up cheaper/quicker to pay me to do the backup and upgrade.

But seriously, go to the Joomla Extension Directory and search for backup or goto the Joomla Documentation to find out how to backup. If you are running a Joomla site, you really need to know how to perform this, you really do not want to get caught out if your database or site goes down,

It really is not that difficult, but can seem scary if you have never done it before.

Tarun said:So, what should i do?
Can you explain me deeply?

Hi Tarun,

I can not say this enough, from past experience, backup your database, backup your server files just in case.

The upgrade procedure is just to install the V2.2 as a normal joomla extension, it has its own upgrade file and will overwrite all K2 server files.

Let us know how you get on.

So is their any upgrade manual available or be sure we will not lose K2 data after upgrading.

Hi Tarun,

The first used: J! 15.15, K2 v2.3svn, SIG Pro v2.0.5 (SlimBox2 jQuery)
The second used: J! 15.15, K2 v2.2, SIG Pro v2.0.5 (SlimBox2 jQuery)

SIG is Simple Image Gallery Pro.

There are two things, one upgrade k2 to v2.2. (most likely)
Upgrade SIG Pro to V2.05

Let us know how you get on.

Tarun said:Hello,
Joomla Version 1.5.15
K2 v2.1

What is SIG?

Yes this is the clean install i have only K2, JoomFish and "Simple Image Gallery PRO" Plugin v2.0 for Joomla!

Could you please send me for all the version which you are doing at your end.

When I contacted my hosting company, GoDaddy, they informed me that I need to do that with an .htaccess file. I looked at the one I used for the SEF URLs and didn't see anything about Multi-byte support. This is way above my head. Any ideas on where to go to get an effective .htaccess file?

JoomlaWorks said:Multi-byte support must be enabled in PHP. Ask your hosting company. ;)

When adding an article from the front end, the modal window no longer appears in a pop up box. The add article window appears just like a normal page in the browser. I am running k2 v 2.2 and the latest version of Joomla 1.5.15I have not added or upgraded and plugins or components, it just mysteriously stopped working this morning. Any one else have this happen?

Some of the advice from Simon (k2joom) on this thread may be of assistance: -
