in my J 2.5.4 I need to do login with CB (1.8 ) and then to insert the K2 items from frontend, not in backend.
With CB integration I've CB avatar in K2 and K2 item in CB, but these have been always written in backend.
In several forums I read someone says that to insert K2 items from frontend it is only need the CB Integration (option in K2), instead someone else says that it is mandatory K2 Login, but in this case I lose every CB functions.
I've noted also that with both CB and K2 login, when in the user menu I click over "Item edit form" (by K2) I get always a 404 null page. For add a K2 Item I always must use the link "Add Item" showed with a K2 login.
I need to know if is really possible to add K2 items after a CB Login or if I must renounce or CB or K2.
In this case with Jomsocial I'll have the same problem?
Thanks in advance

With "K2 Login Module" I see 4 link under my avatar: Add new item, My page, My account, Moderate comments to my published items.
Only after login with "K2 Login Module" I 'm able to see these in frontend.
If I login with CB I'm not able to see these links and so I don't understand how to add new K2 items from frontend.
To do it, I have to publish both modules, CB Login Modules and K2 Login Modules.
In this manner, after the CB login, I can see in K2 login module the 4 links (but also two Login/Logout buttons)
Furthermore, if I click over the link "My page", then I see my CB profile, but if I click over "My account" then I see the K2 account con K2 fields and these are independent from the CB fields.
Where I wrong?

In the menu, under the K2 block I can create 6 type of menu item:
- Item
- Item edit form
- tag
- categories
- User Page (Blog)
- Latest Item from (one or more) users or categories

I had same issues, the K2 user posting "form" are not for usefull, it to confusing for common users, and you very havy to ajust for your needs.
What i did was using the j K2story, you can simply link to.
See the demo her
demo.joomlaextensions.co.in/index.php?option=com_jek2story
If you like and what to use it but you need som extra features plase tell me what, many we can in a join venture share some cost for development.

Enable the k2 login or user
Copy the link that leads to add new item
disable it
modify the cb login to include the same link
and, if all is set up correctly, the k2 user groups, permission, and the logged in user has rights
the link should work

True!
I've inserted the link in the user menu and now it open a new windows of the browser, now also without K2 Login module enabled.
Only I don't understand because when close the window then I have a refresh of the previous page.
But this is a minor problem.
