When changing an avatar using JomSocial, the postback processing causes onAfterStoreUser() to be triggered in plugins/user/k2.php. On (or around) lines 95/96, there is a check for $file in K2's user plugin code.

K2 appears to be making the presumption that the data in $_POST is its data. It is not, it is JomSocial's postback. While it's fine for K2 to register for the onAfterStoreUser(), it seems wrong that it presumes that it might be the only component out there passing data back in $_POST for this event.

This causes K2's plugin to emit an error ("could not upload your image.") when no such error is present. The error is because there is no index for on $file in this case. K2 presumes there is, again, because it presumes that the data in $_POST is its own.

This is breaking JomSocial - bad form, K2!

Would a developer please comment on this and acknowledge the bug?

Do the K2 developers even read this forum?

Another day, another lack of response from anyone...

Hello? Is this thing on?

Even i think that we have to swim in the sea alone!!!

Not sure it's the same error, but it sounds like it, when someone tries to register on my site with JoomSuite User component. I have avatars completely disabled in that component, yet when someone registers, that image upload error comes up. It has been reported to be caused by K2 in a community builder forum discussion and you're experiencing it with JomSocial. Please give us a fix for this?

And also this happens: Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$profile in /var/www/vhosts/bikechatter.co.uk/httpdocs/components/com_k2/models/item.php on line 275

Error reporting has to be on maximum but it is still happening

Devs?

Hi. OK i can confirm this but if you are using JomSocial ( or other similar extensions )for extending the user then you can try to disable the K2 user plugin.

What? Why?! How about we get the bug fixed, instead?

Hi lefteris, that is fine to fix in the meantime but what about the undefined property bug I posted also that is persistant?

Hi. We are trying to eliminate all php errors and notices but a quick fix for you would be to set "Error Reporting" to "None" or "Simple". This is highly recommended, especially for production sites.

Hi. OK we have fixed that for the next version so that K2 Plugin looks for a K2 variable to ensure that the post is coming from K2 and not from an other extension. Thank you for reporting this issue to us.

I also have this issue when adding discussions and photo albums; the fix will address these also?

Hi. This will fix all errors of that type ( "could not upload your image." related to extensions that extend Joomla! users).

I got this error when I registered as a new user and uploaded an avatar... I assume that this issue is fixed with your next version of K2, but I wanted to tell you anyway.

K2 also prevented joomla from sending out the new user authentication email too. I didn't have any of the K2 plugins enabled, then I enabled them all, and the registration email went out. But then I got this error...

I love K2, but I love JomSocial too... they have to play nicely together...

Can you post a patch to this while the new version gets out?

Hi. The latest available version has fixed this. You should upgrade. If you do so please backup first. Also after the upgrade you should use the default template for user form which is bundled with K2. Please search a little in this forum if you meet any problem after the upgrade as this has been already posted.
