Hi Buddy,

Just a comment on the items you listed as not working.

Image Gallery can work, there are various threads about this and some working examples. To be honest, I am still trying to get it to work, however, as K2Joom is running a heavily modified version of K2, it is likely that some changes may be the root cause of out trouble.

The Right to Left issue, there is a fix, see here.

Extra Fields ordering. This has been reported as a bug and as a feature request and should be added for fix in next release.

Hope that helps.

Buddy Q said:Why doesn't ordering work? Seriously, this should not be a special feature and it looks built. Is there a trick to get extra field ordering to work? It's pretty important that this work.
Finding quite a few bugs: image gallery plugin does not work, front-end editing is messed up reversed right to left, and can't order important fields. Please tell me these things are fixable. Otherwise, I might have to go to those "other" guys jseblod.

Hi Mike,

I have spent a bit of time creating fields and groups, removing etc and can't seem to loose any.
Can I suggest you PM with backend login details, so I could take a look?

Mike Feaster said:Update. I have used phpMyAdmin to view the ExtraFields table in SQL and it looks good. All the fields show and the public value is set to 1. Not sure where to look next. Oh and I have 36 fields not 38 and it's still those 2 field from earlier that are not showing.

Thanks, I will do that.

Just sent you a friend request.

Your question 2:
I do not know if you resolved this, but I can order K2 extra fields from backend just fine (using K2 2.2).
However I have to sort extra field list by "Order" column first, otherwise the whole column is grayed out and order cannot be changed (in backend). I do not know if you referring to that or something else. Even order on website is correct, exactly as I set it in backend.

About your question 1:
I would try to recreate those 2 extra fields and delete old ones... my 17 fields work fine.

AHHHHHH!!!!!!! Yes, now I see. I think this is a minor bug but you're right. Once you hit to the table header "Sort" it will activate the greyed out sorting buttons!! Fantastic! Thank you!

About extra fields not showing, I think I have found the problem, and partially the solution
I'm using K2 version 2.0 as I need front end editing with Joomfish enabled

It seems that if you create an item and later create the extra field, it won't show up. If the creation of the field is before the item creation, it works.
Changing the item creation date to a later one (after the extra field creation) did succed to some of my items, but not to all, that's why I'm stuck...if I make a copy of the item that is not showing the extra fields, it works, but I can't duplicate the entire site at this point!!

any ideas?

Hmmmm.... I will have a look at this also. See what I can find. I'm waiting for K2Joom to accept my request so I can provide him with credentials to my site.

Well I did not see where you could modify the date so I went ahead and added a new Item and one of the fields now appears but the one is still now showing. I've provide K2Joom access to the site so hopefully he will be able to determine what the issue is.

you can modify the date of creation of the item when editing, it in the right panel with all its properties, or you can do that directly on the database...still don't know why it worked for some items and not for all
