Akeeba Backup can also help you (for backups).

Hi Krikor,

I did not test it (image from server) in any other K2 function.
And i used extrafields as select list or free text area only.

WBR,

Igor

Please TALK to JOOMLART for crying out loud...

They say it's K2 and K2 says it's the Template. Each points at the other.

All I know is when I upgraded to 2.8.0 my modals stopped popping out and I had a nitemare on my hands... nothing else was broken, just the modals... off to GitHub... thank you GitHub... download 2.7.1, restore backup and everything works perfectly.

Now I don't care if it's a template or a component... I develop NEITHER... I use both.
I simply would like both companies to pull their big boy pants up, talk to each other and figure it out. How hard is that?

Thanks for the reply William.

I managed to get JustHost to restore the site (the backups I specifically pay for do not appear to be useable - that's another matter entirely!) and we're back in business now. However, I haven't retried the upgrade to K2 2.8.0 to see if it works this time. I'll give it a week or so until I have more time, and I will take an XCloner backup before I start.

Since you dont have a current backup you should probably do a mysql dump of the site just in case of the worst before making other changes.
First try to edit your configuration.php file and turn error reporting to ‘E_ALL | E_STRICT’ and hopefully you may see an error instead of a blank page that may lead you to know what going on.
Later you may need to:
I would unzip the k2 package file and ftp the entire com_k2 directories on top of your exisiting ones and see if that helps
Since it Broke Joomla, you may have to do the same thing with your current version of Joomla as well
but try to find out whats going on first

(Joomla 3.7.5, MySQL 5.6.32)

I upgraded K2 to 2.8.0 yesterday as it the admin page was prompting me to do so. Previous version was 2.6.7. I made the mistake of doing it in a hurry, and foolishly didn't take a full site backup immediately beforehand :-(

The upgrade process completed quickly, but gave the following error messages:

Warning
JFolder: :delete: Path is not a folder. Path: /home1/handsom1/public_html/components/com_k2/js
JFolder: :delete: Path is not a folder. Path: /home1/handsom1/public_html/components/com_k2/sef_ext
Duplicate column name 'ip' SQL=ALTER TABLE `#__k2_users` ADD `ip` VARCHAR( 15 ) NOT NULL , ADD `hostname` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL , ADD `notes` TEXT NOT NULL
Error
Error installing component

After this, accessing the web site simply returns a blank page (seems to be giving a Server Error 500). The admin login is available, but after authentication just get blank screen again. I tried reverting back to the daily site & DB backup, but this made no difference to the results. I have subsequently reverted back even further, but to no avail.. I have even tried reinstalling the original version of K2, but get a similar SQL error.

On further investigation, it appears that some of the admin pages are available if I enter the full URL directly, such as the list of K2 items, but trying to open an item just gives blank page again. I am unable to use the 'Manage Extensions' dashboard, although the 'Install Extensions' page is available.

What might be broken here, and why is the file restore not fixing it? I have cleared the caches wherever I can.

As I can't access the Global Properties, I cannot switch debug on. How else can I find out what is failing here?

Any help would be much appreciated to get us back on line :-)

Thanks for reply, Can I upgrade it without upgrade Joomla and using Php 5.6.31?

Hi

I do not used Joomla Media Manager.
I save new images in directory by FTP program.
And this error situation for choose any image from any subfolders in server.

This error (after upgrade) K2 article (choose image from server).
And i have other subdomain with NO errors.
Different = no preset media manager path.

As result = your js take special preset path for choose image from server, but not used preset path for post string in input tag.
I think your js ignore left part of path string to "/" and post wrong path to image.
After it your php return NO IMAGE WARNING, because path is false.

You can make this situation.
Preset non default path in Joomla Media Manager (long with "/").
Save in this way new image by any components.
After it try create new K2 article by use
«Image» tab > «Browse server...» button
You will see not full path string in input tag left of button.

WBR,

Igor

Hello Igor,
Does this happen with K2's media manager as well?

150$ for a restoration is a bit steep.
Use Akeeba Backup for free or you can choose a hosting plan (on the future) where you can backup ad-hoc your entire site.

As for reverting, if there wasn't a catastrophic issue it might do the trick

After it fix my site work again without problem

But problem not in line 281.

Please, fix this situation by use true way from non default media preset in this or new version of K2.

Hi, using K2 2.7.1 on J! 3.6.5 (I know, I will upgrade soon...). I need to change some Category images. I tried uploading a new one and selecting the box "Check this box to delete the current item image...". It doesn't work. I get the previous image every time. I tried to delete the Joomla cached files too, no luck. This for existing categories, no problem for new one: the image is uploaded and the thumbnail created.
Please, what can I check to solve the issue?
Thanks

It must be 2.8.0

Something wrong with modals...

Here's what I've done to investigate...

Installed June 18 version of Joomlart JA Directory which includes K2 2.7.1 on development site.

www.rxgreenthumb.com/3dir/

Updated Joomla to 3.7.5 - No Issues Modal works great

Images pop out into modal as they should, create new and edit work perfectly.

Updated All Joomlart Templates and Plugins dumped cache to be sure and everything works perfectly.

Main site was upgraded to 2.8.0 when the modal issue occurred.

I'm going to install the JAK2 Search plugin and modules that were also at issue.

We didn't have much data inserted but don't want to redo the categories and icons manually.

Will 2.7.1 overwrite 2.8.0 if I do a fresh install of K2?

I just want my modals back lol.

Thanks

Attempting to install a Joomlart Template called JA Directory.

Everything worked on previous installations and we've never had a problem until now.

After checking with Joomlart, they say the issue is with your plugin... has anyone else ran into this issue?

It appears that the K2 component is in conflict with Bootstrap somehow, but can't for the life of me figure it out.

Before when we wanted to add a new record, it popped out in a nice size modal and everything worked as advertised... upgraded to 2.8.0 and the modal stopped popping out.

We are running Joomla 3.7.5 and no other component, plugin or module is giving us issues except for this one.

Has anyone run into this also, if so have you found an answer?

Thanks

Just installed a completely new install of joomla 3.7.5 with K2 2.8.0 and nothing else. Playing with it now and have another issue but I think that is Joomlart's to answer however they appear related. I suspect it's the K2 css but can't say for sure. Installed their JAK2 Extra fields Filter and Search module along with all necessary plugins and unfortunately I can't get it to look like theirs...

Hi there,
Thanks so much for the reply, I really appreciate it.

There are no redirects no. It was all working, but the client has sat on it for months. When I came back to it yesterday, it was suddenly not working.

The only changes that I can think of are these:

1. Upgrade of Joomla to 3.5.x
2. Upgrade of K2
3. The site uses DJ-Mega Menu. You have to put specific aliases in for any given menu item. I thought that this could be the issue. However, I took one of the aliases out of the equation and it made no difference.

If I turn off the Joomla SEF, when I click on one of the category list items in K2, it redirects me back to the home page. If I turn it back on, I get the 404 error message.

Turning the K2 SEF on or off makes no difference. This is when the Joomla SEF is either on or off.

I spent hours on it yesterday trying to figure out what is going on. The Joomla site is sitting in its own folder as a sub-directory, but again it was all working there before.

When I hover over a K2 category link, I can see the url it is trying to reach, but it is looking in a folder that doesn't exist?

I'm totally at a loss, but I'm at the point where I need to get this site completed, so this is critical.

I would be so very grateful if you could help me out here.

Seems that Joomlart (JA K2 Filter) is on the way to solve the issue : www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/date-field-dont-work-with-k2-ja-k2-filter-enabled-in-2-8-0/#post-1061640 Temporary solution is very ... temporary (I hope ;-) )

Hi there,
I really need some help and would be very grateful for any help. I'm working on a site for a client which is still in development, you can see it here:

http:// www.labplant-zematra.com/joomla/

The site was fully working before the last Joomla upgrade.

The site is built of items within K2, and the menu system points to the pages as usual.

When you click on one of the menu items (Applications, for example) you then get a list of items within a category. The main menu items have been set to show items within a K2 category. I have added the category on the 2nd page of the menu item link.

You will now see that if you click on one of the items, it takes you to a 404 error page rather than to the item. As mentioned above, this was all working fine up until the last Joomla update.

I have turned on the Joomla SEF, and turned off the K2 SEF options. If I turn them on separately and then click on one of the items in the category list, I get taken back to the index page.

I really need help on this so would be very, very grateful for any input.

The site is using the latest K2 and Joomla 3.7.5.

I have the following problems after upgrading to 2.8;

1) I cannot add or remove tags from items in the front end
2) When I save an item in the front end, it just remains on the same add or edit screen

So, I wonder can I just revert to the previous 2.7.x version? is that possible after installing 2.8?
And if not, can you tell me how to troubleshoot these issues or is there a quick fix that I can make to fix the problems?

Many thanks in advance. K2 is a key component on my website and I love it (also SIG PRO) but this is causing big problems for me!
