Hi everybody:
I can't delete attachments in front end item editor: if you use the "Delete" button nothing happens.

This button works fine in back end item editor with the same user.

I've checked the code and looks fine, but probably I'm missing something. 

I've tried a hack: to change the URL of the buttom from "index.php?option=com_k2&..." to "administrator/index.php?option=..." In this case, the form seems to work (the attachment information disappears when you click the "Delete" button), but when you save the item, the info reappears and the file is actually there.

I've checked this behaviour on 2.1 and 2.2 versions

Thanks in advance

More info: It's an issue with built in Joomla SEF engine. If you disable it, you recover this functionality.

I'll try to adjust route exceptions to solve the problem.

Hi Buddy Q:

I finally fixed it by myself:

- Edit the file /components/com_k2/views/item/tmpl/form.php
- In the line 648 (version 2.2), change the delete button's hyperlink to look like this:
href="administrator/../index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&task=deleteAttachment&id=%3C?php%20echo%20$attachment-"

doing so, the link is not treated by SEF engine and it works.

Hope this help.
Regards from Spain

Could you please give the full line before and after editing?

I tried to do it, but it seems that this forum doesn't admit <code> tags.

Anyway, the hyperlink was originally like this:

href="index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&task=deleteAttachment&id=%3C?php%20echo%20$attachment-"

Thanks Francisco.


I made the edit but I came across a very strange problem - the "Home" page of the site started to refuse to display any content - just a totally blank page. - Other pages were OK.
Hopefully an "official" fix to the attachment delete problem will be made soon.

David.
