I'm having some issues with K2 User Registartion and K2 My account.

Using Version
K2, 2.1 September 9th, 2009 JoomlaWorks

Problems I'm seeing:
When a user registers using the K2 Login Module the user section of K2 in admin panel is not put in the default user group.



I will go in the users list and won't have Gender selected or the group. I will manually edit the page to put them in the registered user group.



They will log in and try to edit their information on the My Account to change their settings or add avatar.


After all changes are made they will hit save and the page will refresh telling them their account changes were saved.



When the users go to their My Page all the previous information they entered is not saved. This also is the same issue that happens when the account is created from the start.



This is the same problem that happens when the account is created. Any information they add into the editor other than the name,user, email and password is not saved. I need some advice or help to fix this problem. I've spent a lot of time searching these boards for other threads and haven't found anything that relates to my specific problem. Anyone else have these issues or know how to fix it?

Hi. Please make sure that the K2 User plugin is installed and enabled and that you are using the template files that are bundled with K2.

I am having the same problem.

I have cheked that the K2 User plugin is installed and active. I have not changed any template files but am using Affinity by Rocket Theme.

I can edit from the back-end.

Any other ideas??

It may be an issue with Affinity. I just tried another template and front-end editing of the user profile worked.

Now I have to remember what I did to customise my Affinity before I apply the upgrade......

Hi. You can keep using the template of your choice but you have to make sure that the User Registration form and the Profile edit form include a hidden input field with name "K2UserForm" and value "1".

input type="hidden" name="task" value="save" />
php echo JHTML:: _ ( 'form.token');?>

and .... / templates/rt_affinity_j15/html/com_user/register
Edited default.php file, added the same thing, etc. ....

Problem is not resolved, MA CAN SOMEONE HELP? : (

Hi.The files that are loaded by the K2 plugin are located under templates/yourtemplate/html/com_k2/templates. There you should find the files register.php and profile.php. If they are not there then K2 loads them from the location components/com_k2/templates. So please check the generated source code for both registration and profile edit forms. They should have the hidden input. Also you should have enabled the K2 system plugin. If all that fails maybe there is an other kind of issue with the template you are using. Try to use an other template and see if that works.
