i have customer site that uses k2 v2.4.1, sigpro, etc...joomla1.5.24...on and on latest extensions...

however when upgrading to K2 v2.5 (either yesterdays svn or todays 'stable) it scrambles the site...refer to image...
NOT READY FOR prime time

Any additional info such as a URL would be helpful. From the image it looks like it may be a template issue?

I agree, getting to 1.7 only moves the data intact. Then you get to start all over again with the templating issues. That said, we either have to continue to move and update or stomach a very large update with 1.8/2.5 Joomla or whatever the version the version turns out to be

I am using joomla 1./5.24..not updating to 1.7...
ONLY update is to K2 V2.5 stable...tried four times with no luck...

however this site has been restored to old version of K2...if this is a template issue, why would K2 scramble up the whole site...templating for k2 should be separate, correct?

K2 templating is handled by separate templates under
chaconbelts.com/templates/ecospa/html/com_k2/ja_ores/
this is where the php files for the k2 templating are stored...however i do not have the plugin one css per k2 template as this template came with K2 support and k2 templating in place...i have used the plugin on other sites that I have installed k2 myself...
Could that be a factor?

chaconbelts.com/templates/ecospa/html/com_k2/ja_ores/
should be
chaconbelts.com/templates/ecospa/html/com_k2/templates for normal k2 overrides
they may have something different

okay, could be an issue....i'm going to tinker with those files, then install the plugin, then try again and i'll let you know what that does one way or another...
