First of all, this component is great! So I'm looking for how to submit article in front end, since i got a lot of author on my web site, I can't let them submit article from the back panel, and it seem that there is not a menu item for article submission with K2.Thx in advance!Nick.

Hi Nick,

You have to create an item menu that links to a k2 itemlist view, then just connect to the front-office of your website, click on the item menu and you should have a link 'Add an item...' at the top right of the page.

Are you french ?

Hey, yes I'm french, So I've create an item menu, and try each of the choice below but without success, there is no "Add an item" showing up on the top right.

- Item
- Item

- Item listings
Categories
Tag
User Page (blog)

-Latest items from (one or more) users or categories
Latest items from (one or more) users or categories

I want the same functionality for registered members to post news. I have created an item menu but i get an item not found error, am i missing out on something? There is also an option to point to an item to display but with it there isn't a link to post news. In my own opinion i thought it was there so that an item can be featured itself. Also my latest news link wont work, am still getting Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in \components\com_k2\views\latest\view.html.php on line 120 error, i tried replacing with a code from forum member tonico [Attachment bug: SQL error ] file modified.rtf but nothing worked i still get the error. Please help with this. Thank you.

Okay, it's now working, lol, I didn't saw that you need to add user to a specific group in the K2 component so they can add article, it's clearly the best content management on the joomla platform.

As for the "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in \components\com_k2\views\latest\view.html.php on line 120 error" I had the same thing, it seems to happen when you doesn't choose a category or a user blog to show. If you do, it should disapear.

Nick.

I dont understand how to do this.

what is an item menu and how do i create one ?

how do i then connect to the front-office og my website ?

Hi, you create an item menu by going to your menus manager, create a new menu - that points to K2 - choose item and then follow the steps, you should be able to see the link on front page. I realized that there is more to settings than just simple touch and see it work for K2. Checking out user group parameters is one thing i had forgotten and that is where i was able to know that actually joomfish and k2 are not friends. I had joomfish and had to uninstall so that add item would work as well as latest contents. Make sure you check out all these options and everything should work fine.
