Hi there,

My apologies if this querstion has been answered but I have been unable to find a solution and I have searched and searched (although I see that some people have had similar issues but not like mine).

I have created a site using the Rockettheme Metropolis, now as soon as I install K2 and configure my access groups and user groups for front end editing the create post and moderate comments do not appear in the K2 login module - the moderate comments hovers in a modal window in the middle of the screen and the create new post link does not appear at all.

Extremely infuriating, I read lots and put it down to a problem with Gantry and Rockettheme and so in my desperation I embarked on recreating the site in a new template - JXTC Enterprise. After several hours work I got to the point of installing K2 (should have done this first really) and unbelievably I experienced the exact same thing on this tempalte as well.

I am using Joomla 3.2, testing on an Xampp server running Php 5.4.7 - I also backed up and tested on my web hosting server to make sure that it wasn't something local that was going wrong but the same thing is happening on there.

I really need to get this sorted out as I am building it for a client and they need the K2 integration to make the site function, I built everything else first and left K2 until last because I have installed K2 before on Joomla 2.5 numerous times and never had any issues no matter what templates I used.

I know I can edit userblock.php and remove the "moderate new comments" piece but that is not going to solve the problem that registered users with correct rights can not post new items or edit.

Please - any help greatly appreciated here!

Sincerely

Wondering whether this might have anything to do with the fact that I was using JCE as an editor, I disabled it and re-enabled Tiny MCE. It had no effect on the user module but it did make a difference when I clicked the link to view the user page - I now had an option to post a new item - although the link to that too appears in a modal window in the middle of the screen.

I made a new post, saved and closed and now the edit item appears in a modal window directly above post new item..meaning I can't post any more...please see image attached

Went back to JCE and the links are still there, how strange,

I am beginning to think this has got more to do with teh way that Joomla 3 (or the templates I have used) and calling the modal link - here is the code for the edit items
