Hi. First of all comment reports is spam report. Secondly, for those getting the error, check your pages for javascript errors.

I am also getting the error where the notification of success or error is output in plain text.

This happened when I K2 not to load jQuery. When I then turned made K2 load it's own jQuery again it worked.

Isn't K2 using the Joomla system messaging?

I see it's been 3 months since the last post in this thread. Well, i installed K2 2.6.1 and i got the same identical error when posting a comment:

The error is:
{"_errors":[],"message":"Comment added! Refreshing page...","refresh":1}

The entire page is white out. Only this error is showing in plain text.

As posted earlier in the thread, the "jQuery library handling" setting at the backend is set to "Do not load the jQuery library". This appears to be causing the issue. When you select "Load v1.8.2 (local copy)", the problem goes away.

I don't think there's anything in the K2 Documentation telling you to select "Load...". So how should we suppose to know this should be set????

And also, the way the error shows up is both not user-friendly and helpful. The least you could have done was to code the error message suggesting to load the jQuery library at the backend.

There is also nothing in K2 documentation telling you to select "Do not load jQuery". This is set by default to "Load v1.8.x latest (remote copy)" when you install K2. Also the thing you are getting in your screen is not an error reporting, it's the server response. Because jQuery is not loaded the browser makes a normal request instead of XHR.

Would you be able to recommend one for 1.7/2.5.4?

As for the redirection, I can create a user account you can use to verify the issue. It only happens when registered users try to post comments.


Thanks,

That is correct. In order to be notified when a comment is submitted in K2 you will need a plugin to do the work. We developed a plugin for K2 2.5.x for this purpose.
