Hi,

We had a site that was running Joomla 1.5.24 and K2 2.4.1 in the root. We moved the site to a subfolder. Everything seems to be working with the exception of downloading attachements now. When you try to download an attachement you get a 404 error. It doesn't matter if it was an attachment setup before the site was moved to the folder or a new attachment that was made after the move, all attachment download requests result in a 404 error.

Does anyone know what is need to fix this problem?

Thank you.

Only the filename with no path resides in the ***_k2_attachmens table in a field "filename"
There must be something that is getting the site root mixed up somewhere
I would try using a backup of the original site with akeeba and restoring the backup to the subdirectory using the installer and my bet is that it will work that way.. Havent tested this, but you may also find a setting in joomla global or php.ini that would fix this.

Hi,

Since there isn't an issue with paths anywhere else. My guess would be that the page for the attachement is starting with a / instead of just the path. So the code probably has /media/k2/attachements instead of media/k2/attachments. But I can't find where in the code the download path is being setup.

The link has this:But I can't find the code for task download.

The K2 parameters say that the default attachement folder is media/k2/attachements. I tried changing that to /subfolder/media/k2/attachements, subfolder/media/k2/attachements and media/k2/attachements but it didn't make any difference, I still got a 404 error each time I tried to download the attachment.

I tried adding var $livesite = http://domain/com/subfolder and that didn't make any difference either.

Can anyone confirm that running joomla in a subfolder, that K2 attachements work properly?

Thank you

Hi,

I found the problem, there was a space in the link instead of a ? in the item.php template file.

Hi,
Got the same problem : I can't download the attachment, the link leads to a error 404 page.
Could you please explain your last post, where the error was between the space and the ?
Maybe could you post the working code, it would be great.
Aslo, I think my code looks a little bit different than yours :

<a title="<?php echo htmlentities($attachment->titleAttribute, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?>" href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&task=download&id='.$attachment->id); ?>">
<?php echo $attachment->title ; ?>
</a>

Anyway, any suggestion would help.
Thanks.

Found this code on another post.
Works for me.
Here is the link if it can help others.

NOTE: Don't forget to change the code on your category_item.php IF you're showing downloads on that page as well.

I'm still having this same problem even after adjusting my item.php file. Here is my code after coping from the K2 component item.php to the template version:
