I have a 2.5 installation running K2. It apparently has a javascript conflict that prevents the Save buttons from working in the backend. On the K2 forum, (getk2.org/community/New-to-K2-As ... min-panels) several people said to adjust K2 parameters to load a local copy of jquery; that has not solved the problem.

When I view the source code of the site I noticed there was no jquery library listed in scripts in the document head. Do i need to upload jquery and add it to the template scripts? If so, what folder does it go in?

I tried uploading jquery-1.8.2.min.js into the templates/mytemplate/javascript folder and added a line of code in the template head : <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template;?>/javascript/jquery-1.8.2.min.js"></script> . Then I set K2 to load the local jquery in K2-Parameters. Hasn't worked.

Hi Christina,

humm you don't need to put anything inside your template...

when you use the Parameter from K2 to use local Jquery..

all is it inside your joomla :

/media/k2/assets/js/

so... if you use maybe Chrome or Firefox you may check de developper tool to see what is your the problem and if it is K2 or another third party.

let me know,

Best Regards

What should I be looking for in the developer toolbar?

It turned out to be something much simpler than a jquery issue. We had a required field that wasn't getting entered. Once I changed it to optional, everything worked.
