I am unable to add an image to the image section of an item when I choose it. I click save and it just reverts back to the screen and no image in place. Have tried changing all the permissions of the component but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions anyone?

:(

Hi. Are the permissions changed? Go to K2 information and see permissions. There you will also see other requirements.

I've set all the permission in the K2 component folder to 777 but it still just goes back to the screen without saving the image upload or giving me any kind of error even with error reporting switched on...

In the Image tab, by the browse button, what does it say for max upload size? Does the image or video that you are trying to upload exceed this stated size? How long before you are reverted back to the Item page, are you possibly getting timed out?

I am also having problems with images. I had to change some php settings on my server.

upload_max_filesize, post_max_size, and max_execution_time

I now get the images to load without any problem .... I just can't get them to show up automatically in the item.... Still working on that!

It says (Max upload size: 50M)

My image is only about 30kb

Any resolution on this? K2 has been a huge disappointment. It makes the simplest things so difficult!

I am having the same problems.

But Funny thing is sometimes it happens and some times it doesn't. I tested with Images that are 700Kb no problem, then I test with the Image I actually want on the site (67kb) and it can't load. When I click Apply it just says "Connecting" and nothing happens.

I got fedup so I went to Media Manager. Tried to upload the picture from there. The bigger picture for uploaded fast, the actual one I want to use never gets loaded and Error message reads "Could not connect to the Backend"

I am getting quite tired of Joomla itself....

Ok this is the Stupidest Thing ever. The image I wanted to upload was last Modified in 2006. I opened in it any editor and made it a Little brighter and hit save. The Modified Date is now today and I could upload the file!

Please fix this problem K2 its embarrassing. For those that need a work around in the mean time you can give it a try.

@Brett

Did you check the information page?

@Derrick

There are many many satisfied users of K2, so probably the issue is your setup. If you post some information, maybe we can help you.

@Sio Hock Chuan
The media manager upload is not a comparable situation. K2 uploads the image and then resize it to 6 different sizes. Also , apart from the filesize, the resolution matters in this situation. So if you are tyring to upload a high resolution image then you may need to increase PHP's memory limit.

Found the solution:

Give the "write permission" to the following folders ....:

The current status is:
media/k2 Not writable
media/k2/attachments Not writable
media/k2/categories Not writable
media/k2/galleries Not writable
media/k2/items Not writable
media/k2/users Not writable
media/k2/videos Not writable
cache Not writable

:)

When I try to upload a picture I get internal server errors, if I strip the image down to a very small size and low resolution I can upload some images, sometimes. It's inconsistent and frustrating.

What information can I give you to help me solve this problem?

@Derrick

It seems that you need to increase PHP memory limit. Keep in mind that K2 generates 6 images for each one you upload, so it needs some system resources to perform this.

i have the same problem help plz tell as what we have to do

Same Problem here ...

all k2 folders have 777 cache too

is emory_limit 100 not enough ?


thanks you for info/help!

and merry xmas ;) MJ

@MJ

Setting memory limit to 100MB usually is enough but it also depends on the resolution of the uploaded image. Also ensure that directories /media/k2/items/cache and /media/k2/items/src exist and are writable.

@Lefteris Kavadas: Thank you for your answer.

Here are my Settings, perhaps someone can give a hint on what it could be:

My test images:
image 1 - 800x600x24b JPEG (94,6kb) = 500 (Internal Server Error)
image 2 - 400x640x24b JPEG (80,8kb) = 500 Internal Server Error in 9 of 10
image 3 - 300x240x24b JPEG (67,5kb) = ok in 9 of 10


Versions:
Joomla 2.5.8
K2 v2.6.2

Folders:
all exist and have 777 (for test environment 'media' incl. all subfolders have 777)
/media (777 incl. all subfolders)
/cache (777)
/tmp (777)

My PHP settings:
Apache/2.2.22
PHP Version 5.3.8 (version 4 tested, same effect)
MySQL-Version 5.1.60-log
memory_limit 100M
upload_max_filesize 8M
max_execution_time 90
GD Version bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
register_globals off
safe_mode off

**********************
Reloading (F5) helps sometimes.
Sometimes, 2 images (resolutions) are generated, but the rest do not and it stops

What can i do?

Newer than new is impossible .. :blink:

*********************
Many Thanks for your help, MJ

i felt never so alone :dry: ;)

Change permissions on cache to 757 or 777 in media/k2/items/

Thank you for your Reply noppadon!

but as you can see above - /media (777 incl. all subfolders) all settings are right.


I simply can't use K2.
