I've made an interesting discovery.

K2 2.7.0 and 2.7.1 do not allow me to upload images from the images tap via upload or by browse server.

If I install K2 2.6.9 Everything works as it should (apart from PHP7 moaning about some depreciated code)

When I upgrade to 2.7.1 again, the images tab is broken once more.

(Further to my previous message, I did work out that I've actually got another plugin I'd forgotten about. AdditionalCategories.)

I'd like to move to 2.7.1 but something somewhere is broken. Any ideas?

Hi! found a workaround!

On a temp, fresh j 3.6.2 site I have loaded all K2 tables, then installed the component, so if there's any db upgrade. it was done. After that, exported the K2 tables and reloaded them on my production site. As the component files where already on site, I haven't copy any files, then, I have edited manifest_cache field of the component in the extensions table entry to reflect the current K2 version to 2.7.1 and all done.

Hi, after I upgraded to 2.7.1 fron 2.7.0 I realized that some joomla! menu items were missing, a.k.a. deleted!

Is that a normal behaviour?

I have used the joomla upgrade view and checked k2 to get the upgrade, and after that, I gor my menu items deleted. Also joomla table _extensions field extension_id lost the primary attribute and the AUTO_INCREMENT too...

Please advise!

Thanks!

I have one problem about frontpage K2 in the blog after upgrade to K2 2.7.1 and my Joomla is 3.6.2

Hi, I've the same frontend issue.
Disable all overrides had no effect for me.
My PHP version is 5.5.5.
Thanks for help, so far it has been very helpful to solve minor inconvenience as result of the upgrade to version 2.7.1.

Thank you for the response. I have not done as you suggested yet. However, I am a bit hesitant. I think the only K2 extension that I have is one called K2 Links for JCE

I really depend on that extension every day so if I have to choose between upgrading K2 or giving up that extension I think I will just have to not upgrade. What I use it for is to be able to hyperlink to my K2 items from within the JCE editor.

The notices can be hidden by deactivating error reporting (which should be done in production sites). The upcoming version will take care of notices as well.

Now, from what I can see you are using K2Store which generating the JS issues which cause the tags and extrafields to fail.

You should c/p our conversation to the K2 devs regarding these issues.

Hello,
Have installed latest version of K2, (k2-2.7.1), but still get same strict standards message and tags/extrafields JS problem

I have checked browser console for JS errors which returned following...

JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.1
k2storejqui.js:16 Uncaught TypeError: this.element.uniqueId is not a function(…)
jquery.min.js:2 Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [href=#metadata](…)
jquery.min.js:2 Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [href=#itemViewOptions](…)
k2storejqui.js:16 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'element' of undefined(…)

Hello, please update to 2.7.1 ( or 2.7.2 - github.com/getk2/k2 )

Also check the console tab of your browser's developers for any potential JS errors and report them here.

Finally in production websites you should disable error reporting in your site's global configuration.

Hello, i have fresh install of k2 version 2.7.0
And updated Joomla to version 3.6.2
My problem is that I cannot add tags or extra fields to articles as the javascript which gives options does not work.
In the extra fields selection the form field doesn't display at all.

I have the message at the top of the article:
Strict Standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference in /home/xxxxxxxxx/public_html/plugins/k2/extrafieldtab/elements/extrafields.php on line 31.

and this message at the top of 'Item view options in category listings'
Strict Standards: Declaration of K2Element::render() should be compatible with JFormField::render($layoutId, $data = Array) in /home/xxxxxxxxx/public_html/administrator/components/com_k2/elements/base.php on line 25

Could you please assist as there are many, many articles created in the K2 component all using tags and extra fields. This issue inhibits site functionality completely.

I've upgraded to the latest K2 version, and now I've noticed a change in behavior when displaying a category listing. Articles that have never been modified now say "Last modified on Sunday, 29 November -0001 16:00". Has anyone else seen something similar?

Thanks,
Kent

I got this issue too. After upgrade to 2.7.1. K2 search in Backend (don't have a Frontend search) does not work for Greek words.
It will work for "test" but not for "τεστ".

My site was perfect with k2 2.70 to ...

Then I upgrade to Joomla 3.62 and updated the K2 to version 2.71, and identified an error in the website frontend.

I am using Joomla 3.62 with K2 v2.71 with folder permissions to 755 and 644 to archive permission are correct.

Yet this showing an error message for those who put items by the website frontend.

Detail on the site Frontend can never put image only text, entando that disabled the image part.

Only after I updated to version v2.71 k2, the user places the item and save the item in addition to appearing message successfully saved, appears a second message with the following error:

 "The image was not loaded. Please make sure that you used a valid image file and upload the file is configured according to your server"

When I checked the article by Backend, I notice that he entered normal only is presenting this error in the Frontend user screen.

In Backend not appear any error, this normal.

Only to the user in the frontend that uses the articles post, this appearing this message, after saving the new article.

Does anyone have an idea of ​​what may be occurring

Behind a possible solution

I am looking forward to a possible aid
I shall be grateful
much Success
Jose Carlos

All my k2 items now have the following script inserted in the itemfulltext.

I have confirmed that the code is not in here: components/com_k2/templates/default/item.php
I do not have any overrides.

K2 v2.6.7
Joomla! 2.5.27 (unable to upgrade)

The issue is that this code is showing in facebook when the page is shared.

Hi Derek,

Seems your hosting specs are not sufficient for your data volumes, if you are using a shared hosting, I think you should look for an upgrade, maybe a VPS will be good for your case.

From the attached database logs, I can detect that it is not only the comments having the problem, other tables have large number of rows as well, almost all of the queries take 2.5+ sec to execute! this is not a one table issue, I think it is the database server configuration and the resources available for your hosting account.

Recently I upgraded my website to joomla 3 and k2 2.7.
Everything is working great.
Today someone noticed that the numbers of ordering are gone on the items page. He found that very usefull. Is it possible I can get this back? In the screenshot you see the old k2 which still has that: under the # is what I mean.

After upgrade K2 to 2.7.1 search not works!
Enter a search phrase, the page is reloaded but nothing is. More precisely, the page does not change.

After upgrade K2 to 2.7.1 search not works!

I have a site designed in joomla 2.5 and vm2 plus k2mart. Site worked great for us but now to upgrade we need to move away from k2mart and install vm3 but the images are displayed in a k2 gallery on the k2mart page. is there any way to move a gallery in to additional images in VM3 or is it possible to show a k2 article as the VM3 description for each product.

or can we just have k2mart back for vm3 k2mart was great

"The setting you are looking for is "'Featured' notice (next to title)" in the category's settings (Item view options in category listings).

It doesnt work at all - this sad red star still exist there! (all my categories had and still have this feature option set to hide ). I also tried to switch it off, on, off - but to no avail). I upgraded one week ago to latest K2 and now i have problem with that .

For clarity - I WANT article to be featured but i DONT WANT see red star . In previous K2 it worked perfectly .

How to turn it off? (i suppose its a bug here)


ps. new layout is just TERRIBLE !! - everything is at gargantuan size. Massacre.
