Hello K2-Community,i have a strange thing occuring on my webside (www.medienhandbuch-sport.de). When Authors log in on frontend and create a new article, the Tab "Extra Fields" is always empty, although there are extra fields connected to the chosen category... When the article is saved an re-opend, the extra fields appear... Any hint?System running:Joomla 1.5.20K2 Component: 2.3 Web Server:
Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny9 with Suhosin-Patch mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.5.2 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0Thanks a lot and sorry for my bad english... ;o)

From the front end, try Login, then Add new item and there are not extra fields
Select the category with extra fields and then click the extra fields tab

I have the same problem - No Extra Fields showing up in Frontend-Editing with category selected.
Joomla 1.5.22
K2 2.4.1

Any solution for this problem?
TIA

I'm also having the same problem. In the backend I have to hit apply for the extra fields to show (simply selecting the category doesn't do it) however apply isn't an option on the front end. Pressing save resets the form and the cancel button has no obvious effect/function that I can see.

Hi Colin,
when you open an editor from FP, find on the right side and click the button "Toggle sidebar". It was solution in my case. :)

Just getting back to this. Thanks for the reply Aleistere and thanks to William who got in touch with me via PM in the space of about a minute. I did a bit more troubleshooting and it was, oddly enough, user error on my part. There was some loose code in my hacking K2Mart that was affecting the display and function of this. I couldn't find where it was but did fresh installs one by one and that seems to have fixed it for me.

I'm struggling now to have a category set by default AND have the extra fields show up for this category without the user first needing to save the item but I'm sure this is a discussion for another thread.

Thanks to all. There is a certain lack of documentation for this extension but so much community support that it really makes up for it if you go ahead and ask.

Thanks again and great work!
