Using the frontend editor of K2 2.2, there is a redirect error when using the toggle sidebar button. When you click the button, it will redirect to the frontpage.

In /components/com_k2/views/item/tmpl/form.php:

The forum stripped the codes, so I've attached my php file.

Hi " Gabe " ...
Does not happen with me yet.
Thanks for your Guidance and observation.
Thank you for sharing your file.

Thanks for the fix, Gabe. I have the 2.2 stable build and am getting a big error when I toggle -- the entire lightbox refreshes and I lose my article. This only happens on one of my sites (one was a clean install, one was an upgrade from 2.1 and the one with problems was an upgrade from 2.2 beta).

There is some magic in the code that you posted that stops it from deleting the article, but it also changes the look of the add new item form. Not a big deal, but what you posted is based on a slightly older version.

Have you had any issues with 2.2 stable?

I haven't used 2.2 stable yet. But I'm imagining it is the same error. It's a pretty basic error that not everyone will have. This is because some of us set the base document to our home page or the current URL, and some of us don't.

I'm attaching a new form.php file for 2.2 stable.

The error is pretty basic. On line 274, the href value is #. Setting a link to point to # is always a bad idea for javascript. The href value should be javascript: void(0);

This is because some people set a base document in their template or through SEO components. If the base document is set to the sites root domain, then a link pointing to # will go to site.com/#

Hey "Gabe"..
You are Right..
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much Gabe!!!!

This fixed my issue. I can see the change you made, and there is a foggy understanding as to why but your explanation was also helpful in terms of why it seemed like a random error on one site of the 3 or 4 that I have upgraded.

Thanks again.

I was having the same problem - new file worked like a charm - thanks for sharing!

This is still a bug in 2.4.1 on my setup, but your modification did the trick. Thank you.

Hi Gabe,

Thanks for this. Absolute life saver.
