Just tested custom html with 1.7 2.5svn in top-right

see attached pngs - it seems to work for me

More testing: with sh404sef installed (prior test were with default 1.7 sef

localhost 1.7 / k2 2.5svn from World News quickstart

Global config: sef=on  .htaccess=on

sh404 config url.optomization=yes  with .htaccess

Result = K2 item and html advert works ok, K2 Category shows home page

Set sef404 config url.optomizaion=no

Result =K2 Category now displays

I agree there is a confilict somewhere, but my custom html advert at top right is working, only k2 category does not work

Back to 1.5 on live linux server

World news quickstart w k2 2.5 svn

Joomla Global: sef=on .htaccess=on

sh404 config url.optomization=yes  with .htaccess

All works well - This must be a 1.7 issue with k2 2.5svn and sh404sef

Thanks for testing it, do you know how we can solve this you who can solve this. Is it down to the k2 owners to solve this or for the sh404sef to solve this issue. All i know is, i am half way through building the site and i have this serious problem with the k2 and sh404sef

Until the problem is solved is it possible with joomla 1.7 and k2 to do the following which i did on an old site. what i mean is, on joomla 1.5 i had a module on the right which is not possible with this problem, but i am thinking, is it possible to try and include a module within the content and then have the latest news module put in that content.

 

so for example,if i wanted to put a module in a content page in joomla 1.5 i would have created a new table and make it the size of 250 by 500 px and then put latest news module in there as an example. and that would be on the right hand side. but when i tried this using the insert module,, the latest news was not showing and instead it was on the left all over the place.

 

I was hoping to get something similar to this website www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/3851893/The-Saturdays-laid-bare.html  where i could have the latest news on the right by using the insert module and then underneath the picture with a small box of latest news. but it does not seem to work with k2 and joomla 1.7

Backup first and update your k2 to the latest svn, the problem is fixed for me

do you mean that it works for you on joomla 1.7 or it works on joomla 1.5

I have got my joomla 1.7 site as a back up and have had joomla 1.5 installed

I mean that i have it working in both versions 1.5 and 1.7.

can i ask how you have managed to do this please as i have just stopped joomla 1.7 and got jooml1.5 installed now.

 

can you tell me where you found the problem and how you got it working and can you also show me please
