FIXED: After placing the com_k2 folder in the templates folder on the server and making a new item that I connected to the menu item it works.


Hi everyone,

I'm currently in a kind of a pickle, where my big mouth promised my boss to make a small community website for a diving team.

I've installed K2 without errors, created a category and added a K2 item to a menu item. All seemed pretty straight forward, but when I clicked the menu link I get a #404 Item not found.

There is an attachment in the item that I can download from the backoffice, so that works fine so far. Anything I'm clearly doing wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated. I added a print screen of the error.

Edit: Joomla! v1.7.3 -- K2 v2.5.4

Website
Webpage with error

It's really ugly at the moment, but since my boss also employs a graphic designer, and I'm not, that's his problem ;)

What folder did you put the com_k2 folder in the templates folder?

Did you put it in the root of the templates folder?

If you could give me the exact path you used, I'd appreciate it. I am having the same problem with Joomla 2.5.

Thanks

Hello Michael,

This post will help you with overrides getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

If you have followed this tutorial and still cannot see your overrides that could mean two things.

a) Your template is using a framework which does not respect the standard overriding procedure. (You need to ask your template developer for more info)

b) A 3rd party plugin is blocking your overrides. Some extensions create their own com_k2 folders and use these folder for overrides.
