Hello Everybody.

Just one look at the demo site of K2 hooked me. So I tried to use it. But I am facing strange problems.

I am experienced Joomla Admin but I have to admit that I can't use K2.

I have loaded fresh install of joomla Ver.1.5.14 and installed K2 along with it.

Then I have created a root category named News. Then I created a new item using News category.



I just want to create a menu which will show all items from News Menu. I have created menu as shown below.







But I am getting its output as shown below



Then again I created a "Political Spectrum" category and assigned it to "News" (Parent Category)

Afterwords, when I tried to add item with featured checkbox selected I got following error.

TableK2Item::store failed - Unknown column 'featured_ordering' in 'field list' SQL=INSERT INTO `rk_k2_items` ( `id`,`title`,`alias`,`catid`,`published`,`introtext`,`fulltext`,`image_caption`,`image_credits`,`created`,`created_by`,`created_by_alias`,`publish_up`,`publish_down`,`access`,`ordering`,`featured`,`featured_ordering`,`metadata`,`metadesc`,`metakey`,`params` ) VALUES ( '','Political news','political-news','2','1','

This is political news.

Can anyone guide me here. I just want to show all the items in various categories in respective menu. I am using New Menu -> K2 -> Item listing -> Categories but still No items are appearing. I can only see category name but If I click on it nothing happens.

If you don't click featured Item when you create it the item is created fine.

Ok. I can live with it but what about the blank menu option? I still can't figure it out.

It most be in your Views for your Category. Modify your News category, and on the right side you can change the layout it may not be setup correctly.
