Hi Oliver, thanks for your quick response, my site is open and it is the SAVE button that is the problem, not the Cancel. what access do you require? i would need your email to set an account up but I am very grateful for your offer

I've tested on a k2 V2.2, V2.3 and no problem on 'cancel button'.

Could you give me access to your website to test it ?

Jasper Newton said:Is anybody able to answer this problem? I'm having the same problem on all my K2 sites. When i click "add new item" from login module, It opens a new window which you cannot see the top and bottom of. I fill the details out on the form and click save (Big button next to cancel) and nothing happens. The page refreshes and the form is reset. This gives the impression that it has not saved the item. Clicking cancel infact shows it has saved the item but the window will not close by pressing save. This cannot be a good thing. I have installed latest version of k2 (2.3) and still have the same problem. If anybody knows a solution, it would be most welcomed. My site (The drawing board) is www.tdb.frenchholidayweb.com if anybody wants to give it a go to see what I mean. Thanks in advance.

Sorry Jasper for the confusion on the button,

I've just created an account but can't find where to add/edit article...

You need to set the premissions for the user group registared if you want someone who has registared to add content.
currently registared users cannot add items.

HI Oliver, the "add new item" link is in the login module on the left of the page. Hope this helps, thanks again

Jasper,

I've added a new unpublished item in 'Style / romanesque' without any problem.

I'm on MAC with FF 3.6.6 & Chrome 5.0

Have you modified some K2 core css ? Do you have a screenshot of the modal window ?

Olivier

Oliver,
Many thanks, I am glad to see you had no trouble uploading to my site, I have not altered any css, I am a complete beginner and have built my site based on tutorials etc. It is a breath of fresh air to find somebody as willing to help as you have been thus far, for that I am most grateful. I do have a screen shot I have taken which shows that on ff 3.6.6 (and previous versions as well as internet explorer) I cannot see the top and bottom of the window. I am aware, if it helps that if you click "save" and then cancel" there is no issue, but this is not good for prospective users of my sight.

Thanks again. Jasper

Very strange, indeed...

When you click on the "save" button, have you previously entered a title & description and selected a category ?

If you haven't, the item can not be saved and there's a warning message that may be you can not see because of you window size problem...

Olivier

Oliver,

HI, yes all the text fields have been filled out, images uploaded and extra fields etc. On one of my sites I am using the K2 Store plugin, and have the same problem. Like I say, technically it isn't "broken", it just operates in a way which could put a lot of people off. For example if you were to go onto a well known site named after a river, and you tried to order a product, and instead of it clearly showing you that your transaction was successful, nothing happened, I feel allot of people would give up and go elsewhere. This is what I fear on my sites. I hate over complicated sites, and i strive for simplicity for users. I could put an explanation module telling people how to go round the problem, but that is akin to saying "yes, our site works, not that well, here's how you get round it," doesn't instill confidence. I know K2 are aware as they say the bug is fixed in 2.3, which it clearly is not.

I appreciate your input, just hope K2 has a solution

If i can help anybody;
I have resolved one of the two issues, thanks in the main to:
simon.getk2.org/index.php (simon says...)
The issue I have now resolved relates ONLY to the size of the new item window. (Previously when clicking add new item in K2, the window that opened was far too big for my screen resolution and therefore missed the top and bottom of it off.

Go to:
components/com.k2/templates/default/category.php

and find the line; (usually near the top, line 46 on mine, might be different for you)



change the "Y" value from 650 to 450. Thats it. solved it for me....

This does NOT work for k2 2.3 and stops the add new item window w...
