Dear all,

I am using K2 2.5.3 on Joomla 1.7. I am trying to add a parameter to config.xml so I can implement a bit more control over how images are resized.

However, when I add a parameter to config.xml, save it and then enter the the parameters button, the new parameter does not show. I even tried clearing cache, logging in and out etc.

I noticed that the config.xml is in the old format, i.e. using <params> and <param> etc, whilst in Joomla 1.7 the format should be <fieldset> <field> etc.

Not sure if this is the problem and was hoping if anybody else came across this and has a solution.

With kind regards,
sanonline

Hi SanOnline,

Both the <param></param> and <fieldset></fieldset> are in the same config.xml file. Check the lower portion :D

One hidden secret of Joomla! is that Joomla! 1.5 will ignore Joomla! 1.6 syntax, whereas Joomla! 1.6/1.7 will ignore Joomla! 1.5 syntax. This allows you to have a single XML file which caters for all Joomla! releases.

Hi Kannan,

That indeed did make me feel like an idiot :-)

Thanks anyway for pointing it out....

Hi SanOnline,

You're welcome. No worries, we all tend to do the same thing now and then ;P
