Hi all,

I am trying to get K2 to work on a site. Some of the most essential features for this site do not work: adding a new item or updating one's user info on the frontend. This all does work on the backend, as does editing an item on the frontend work.

When I click the "Add new item" in the login module, a layover appears, which holds the frame to www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&task=add&tmpl=component. The frame is completly empty: there is nothing in there. When I enter this adres in my browser, the same happens: a completly blank screen. When I turn SEF off for my site, the browser asks me to download the index.php file, it does not even open the frame.
I noticed that /components/com_k2/views/item/tmpl/item.php is empty, besides the k2 info and the direct access denied string.

When I want to edit user info, I do get the screen and I am able to enter info, search for an avatar, etc. Saving, however, does not seem to work. My site reports that my settings have been saved, but they are not... Doing the same thing via the backend works just fine.

I am using K2 v2.1, J!1.5.14, SEF turned off (or on, does not matter), PHP5.2.3,
I have checked and corrected the settings of the Media directories, made sure that I have permission to create content and that frontend submission is enabled.

I am a bit lost, please give me some clues...
Greetings,


Jeroen

js error???

Yep, at least for the user info. I was using a Rockettheme template specially designed to work with K2 (Moxy)... What a bummer. Switching off al js in the template settings was not good enough, I now use their free template Afterburner, which works well.

Now I am still left with the blank screen on creating a new article. I now get directed to a new page (www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&task=add&tmpl=component), which is really empty. No source code at all. Strange.
Thanks olsen!

I am having a similar problem. When you go to Add Item, the window opens with an Internal Server Error. That's all you can reach.

On the other hand, Ive been able to log in from the front end and edit an existing article.

It is also with Moxy as well. Adding items from the back end doesn't seem to be a problem - its adding them from the front end.

Ive already determined the user is a part of a group with the ability to Add Items.

Anyone have any ideas?

Found another clue... RokCandy. RokCandy is a component which allows for easy styling, by replacing code (say: [bold]{text}[/bold] for the respective html-code. Once I uninstalled RokCandy, I can again create new K2-content easily.

Now I am only left puzzling over the user edit when using RT's Moxy template. Anybody any idea?

I can confirm that in my case, turning off RockCandy solved my problem.

I am having the same problem.. again using Moxy ( www.blackghost.co.uk/gamesprayz ).

New users can register, although the avatar upload doesnt work, but then they get no 'add new item' button when they login in. Using the default Joomla template or another, older, RocketTheme template all is fine.. new users can upload and change avatars and can also add new items.. I did notice, no matter what though.. their K2 user status remains blank whether it works or not!

Thanks for the help..

I got impatient and changed my template to the Flux one from YooThemes.. everything works lovely :)

I still have the test server set up so will give your profile.php a try.

thanks again.

I know this post is a bit old, but I just upgraded to the latest RokCandy .86a and the front end editing issue for me has now disappeared. So, if you need both functionality, look at upgrading to the latest RokCandy.

I'm having the same issue
I'm on frontend, trying to edit an article and the lightbox popup goes blank

I had mod_roktabs installed. Removed it, but no luck. Still having the problem. How can I trace the error? I don't see anything suspicious on Firebug... weird

I'm having the same problem with K2 v2.4.1. I've just installed it and I get the blank screen while trying to open Add New Item window. The built-in Jooml! SEF and shSEF404 are disabled.

Any suggestions?

If I don't remember well, it is the component.php file located inside /templates/your_template/ folder. Grab another component.php from another template or google how should be this file filled. If I remember well, I had the component.php file with 0bytes size, grabbed another one, and solved.

try to uninstall rs_firewall if you have installed it.
