Same problem here, described at: www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/48032-wrong-date-on-first-daily-post

I didn't have linked the problem a TAGs use on new posts.

After see this topic, I did tests in both (frontend and backend) and the problem appear.

Now my doubt: is secure use this version on production enviroment ? :(

What the prevision for release with this correction?

In my case creations date is 29/11/-0001

Thanks, I install de DEV version 2.8.0 from github.com/getk2/k2 and the problem with the creation date when I save an article with a tag is SOLVED

I have the same problem: Joomla! 3.7.3 and K2 v2.7.1, in the backend when I save an article with a tag, the creation date change the format and then it's imposible to edit the article again.

Where is it posible to download DEV version to test if the problem is solved?

Hello Joost,

For the time being you can update to the DEV version, github.com/getk2/k2

Hi i had to update an older site recently, now everything( joomla, K2 and other components) are all up to date.
However when trying to add a new article, there is an issue with adding the tags to the document. When we type in a tag, it is not autoloading previously used tags anymore, it keeps on loading. Manually finishing the tag however, will work, but then the creation date of the article is made empty.

Any tips?

After intensive testing I can confirm that the tagging is the problem. To be specific: when you add a new tag and press enter, the Date Created field is cleared and becomes empty. Thus the date stored is not correct.

I've tested it on K2 v2.8 as well. Here the bug doesn't occur.
The difference is that the (date) publishing and meta fields are not in a sidebar, but in a tab (like the admin interface in v2.7).

Be aware: if you've created your own K2 template (override), you must update this to v2.8, otherwise the new-article form in the frontend becomes a mess and you're not able to write and save new articles.
I want to do some more testing with v2.8 to make sure no other issues are there, before I install it on my live site.

I would like to encourage the developers of K2 to release a stable v2.8 a.s.a.p.

How do I update? I do not understand. Here are my overrides. Thank you

When you ad new tags and save the article, the tags are stored in the database, so you can re-use it with a other article. To delete a tag with a typo, go to the admin of your site Components > K2 > Tags and find the tag. Here you can either correct the typo or delete the tag.

Hello everybody!

I need a little bit of help.

I'm' working on a simple content plugin for J3 that replaces certain strings from Joomla output in accordance with pre-defined rules.

I use onContentPrepare() method, parse the HTML output and replace certain tags before sending the output to the browser. The plugin works fine on native Joomla articles and modules. But since my site also utilizes the K2 component, I have problems trying to get K2 output to do the replacements. While having access to category description and extrafields, I actually need the pre-rendered HTML code from the subtemplates.

It seems I need to create a separate K2 plugin (never done it before), so I have a bunch of questions:

1. What event is fired when K2 has already generated the output, including HTML tags around the extrafields?
2. Is there a way to call somehow the methods of a native plugin by the K2 plugin? Having 2 plugins that will do the same work is a nightmare, but I'm sure there must exist solutions.
3. How can I get access to the settings of my plugin (that are set via Admin interface) from the K2 plugin?

Any help will be much appreciated,
Alex

Hi,
I am very new in K2 and i dont have much experience in php. I need to create a item.php with extra fields. The result should be like this:
blank.fuchs-net.de/index.php/sm.html

But how to add?
I think I need to add this in a loop:
<div class="container">
<div class="col-md-3 fb"><?php echo '<p>extra field facebook icon to click</p>'; ?> </div>
<div class="col-md-3 fb"><?php echo '<p>extra field instagram icon to click</p>'; ?> </div>
<div class="col-md-3 fb"><?php echo '<p>extra field website icon to click</p>'; ?> </div>
</div>

but where:-(

If its not too much I would also pay a small fee:-)

Hi,
ich bin vollkommen neu in k2 ( eine Stunde) aber erfahren mit Joomla (etliche Jahre)
Vorhanden:
Joomla 3.7.3
K2 aktuell

Ich hätte gerne ein 'Template/Vorlage) für Inhalte entwickelt, die mein Kunde einfach füllen kann. Aussehen sol sie ungefähr so:
imgur.com/k97OZrz

Ich dachte das man mit K2 solche Vorlagen/Templates erstellen kann. und oder mit Hilfe von Feldern.
in meinem Fall:
felder:
imaga_links
image_rechts
Headline
Subheadline
fliesstext
Social_Media_FB
Social_instagram_FB
exertanl:

wie aber platziere ich diese responsive in meiner Vorlage/Template???

Wer von Euch kann mir den entscheidenden Hinweis geben?
Vielen Dank!!!
Klaus

I upgraded to Joomla 3.7.3 and PHP 5.6.29. Since those upgrades, we can no longer create new K2 articles or edit existing ones. On existing content all fields (category, tags, etc.) are correctly populated. The content tab is blank except for an icon that I associate with "power" on/off. If I switch to another editor then the content box is populated. I tried uninstalling JCE and reinstalling but it still doesn't display text in content box. I also purged cache with no effect.

If I inspect the "power" icon in the content field, it references:
<div class="k2ItemFormEditor">
<div class="editor wf-editor-container">
<div class="wf-editor-header"><a href="#" class="wf-editor-toggle"></a></div>

Is that an issue with my template? The text is in the div but it's attribute is set to hidden.

Any suggestions/fixes?

Hello,

That would require commenting out a line in a core file
github.com/getk2/k2/blob/master/components/com_k2/views/item/view.html.php#L548

How great it would be if you could add more then one Author to an item. It would beat the normal Joomla Article System and make K2 more relevant again.

It could be the same way the Tag system works when needing to add more then 1 Author. Please add/enable this option in the Parameters settings.

Thanks

Your English is perfectly fine.
K2 only supports one category, you can use extensions to have multiple categories but I don't think this is a good idea.

I would personally create the persons as categories and the companies as tags.

Hello,

today i found via a search engine tool, that the K2-Tools Calendar are normal HREF links.

Now i found hundrets of entries with this links.

I think it should be better if these links are rel="noindex,nofollow".

Yes i can do this with JavaScript, searching the calendarNav Classes but some search engines wont get this.

I found in the module "/modules/mod_k2_tools/includes/calendarClass.php" on 4 lines:
262, 264, 328 &330 the links to generate.
Bad to edit core files but via a module override its not possible because here i only get the $calendar Variable.

I made this change now for me and note it myself until next update.

Can you recommend a better way?
I think the best way should be to integrate the rel Tag into the core with the next Update!

Greets

Thanks :)

Thanks :)
