I did do a Joomla migration using the spUpgrade script. What do you define as upgrade and what as migration?

An upgrade is simply upgrating the site's version and a migration is starting with a clean Joomla!/k2 installation and migrating just your content and your users (though db tables etc.)

Hi,

I have done the repair on the db tables. What I did notice is that the k2 tables are MyISAM and the rest of the tables are InnoDB. I don't know if that could be part of the problem?

Anyhow the table repair didn't make any difference. I have also tried using the default Protostar template along with the default K2 template and still no luck. Only the first item is displayed and the featured flag for subsequent items. If I don't a

I don't understand what you mean by this sentence: "I think migration and not upgrade is the best choice in the long run". The Joomla 1.5 site is fine, doesn't have the issue with the category page. I did do a Joomla migration using the spUpgrade script. What do you define as upgrade and what as migration?

On the first item $this->item->params->get('catItemTitle') is true but on the second item it is false. It is like the $this->item->params is pointing to somewhere different for the second and subsequent items than it is for the first item. I added this code to the category_item.php:As you can see here: www.upgrade.mikestewart.ca/listings/ the difference between them.

Thank you.

I would try repairing the tables from your phpMyAdmin interface.

If your site has hunderds of items and you have already suffered a failure, I think migration and not upgrade is the best choice in the long run.

Hello,
the adjustment for the listing only allowed categories (as stated Alex C.) is quite needed. We have same situation and would prefer to provide the user with better usability (especially in cases if user will choose the category he or she doesn't allow to add the article to -> error producing is guarranted :( ).


In case this requires some coding:
- could you please support us with giving a hint towards it
- or is it possible to have this in the upcoming K2 upgrade(s)?

Thank you!

Hello Laurelle,

Have you tried the new DB on a fresh Joomla!/K2 installation? I am afraid something went wrong during the upgrade.

Finally have you tried repairing your DB tables? Reinstalling K2 on top might help as well.

Hi,

We have a Joomla 1.5.26 site running K2 2.6.7. I am in the process of migrating the site to Joomla 3.1.5 and K2 2.6.7. I have used spUpgrade to do the site migration and the K2 migration.

I have a menu item of type Categories. I have set it to display all categories. I am using the default template. But when I go to the category page, the first item is displayed, but the subsequent items just show the Featured image and the divider between the items. I don't know why all 6 items I have requested that the menu item display, is not displaying all items like it should be. See: www.upgrade.mikestewart.ca/listings/

Has anyone else had this issue or know why the second and subsquent items are not being displayed?

I have leading count=0
Primary count=6
Secondary count=0

Thank you.

Ok which version of Joomla! are you using? HAve you tried updating or reinstalling? com_mailto is a component which comes bundled with the default Joomla! installation.

I would also take a longshot with this one, open my FTP client and try to see if '/home/pbjersey/public_html/backup1/public_html/components/com_mailto/helpers/mailto.php actually exists. The backup might have been corrupt. If it does not exist, I would reinstall Joomla! on top.

Thanks. The same issue was actually happening when it was live so we moved to a backup folder while we fixed it and rolled out an earlier backup as a temporary measure.

Yes, settings for live site are correct and no have not removed anything. I can access the items in the backend. I would be happy to send you the URL and give you access if you would be willing to take a look? Do you have an email address?

It is looking in a wrong folder for the com_mailto component files. I am pretty sure that
/home/pbjersey/public_html/backup1/public_html is not a valid path (due to the double public_html).

If the path is correct, make sure you have not removed com_mailto, or remove the mailto functionality from the K2 item (not the best solution)

This is most likely a setup issue. Are your settings for live site, server paths etc correct?

Yes, I have checked these and updated. The news page is now working however the static pages are still not,

New error message:

Are you sure this path exists ? home/pbjersey/public_html/backup1/public_html/
Double check your settings to see if your /tmp and /log folders are correct.

Many thanks. I have just done so and still get the same errors? Any ideas?

Try downloading a new copy and reinstalling it.

Hello, we recently upgraded K2 to a new version and now all pages which run K2 on our system display the following errors on the front end:

Please could someone help?

Thanks

OK. I'm glad it worked.

I would strongly recommend that you will create another K2 sub-template (just create another folder in templates/nokkori/html/com_k2/NEW_FOLDER_NAME) and put the modified item.php in there. Keep the default one under the original location (templates/nokkori/html/com_k2/default).
Then go to your category parameters and select this sub-template to load instead of the Default.

This will help you not to lose any of your changes when you upgrade the template.

Had the same issue here. Here is how I solved it in case anyone else need to:

Open components/com_k2/templates/default/category_item.php

Find
Replace with
40 is the word limit. The method works fine for me, but I don't really like it, because
1) hacking the core template file will get overwritten by next upgrade.
2) the word limit function in the backend is of no use.

Hello Roger,

Yes they can. You can either try migrating the DB tables if you have the required skills,
Try using joomla! Upgrade first to 2.5 and then 3.0 or, use a service like CMS2CMS

You can create an extra field without changing core files

1) Create a folder under /plugins/k2 named catField, inside there
2) Create a file catField.php Displaying 881 - 900 out of 2231 results.
