Hi, everyone!

I'm using Joomla 3.2.1 and K2 2.6.7. Here's my problem:

I'm using K2's front-end submission form to allow my users to add new articles from the front-end that will then be moderated by admins on the back-end.

But when users click "save" on the front-end form, it saves the item, but it doesn't "close" it. That means when my admins log into the back-end, they have to perform a global check-in to free up all the new content.

This isn't a huge deal, but is there any way to add a "save and close" button to the K2 item submission form?

Thanks!!!

You can try adding a "Save and Close" button in the itemform.php file.

First create a K2 template override (read here getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates how you can do that) and modify the above mentioned file.

You can read this topic here: getk2.org/community/New-to-K2-Ask-here-first/179287-Close-Item-Form-on-Save

and add the modifications mentioned.

Yiota, thanks for the response!

I'll admit, though -- I'm frustrated because the solution you linked doesn't work, and moreover, it actually says in the thread you linked that it doesn't work.

For perspective, I had already found the thread you linked and tried that solution for myself before I posted here. And you linked right back to the same thread with a solution that doesn't work.

For what it's worth, I **love** K2! It's an amazing extension, but the support on these boards (in my experience) has been pretty spotty. Most of the solutions proposed by you and Krikor simply don't work.

I'm also surprised that the front-end interface for adding items in K2 doesn't come bundled with a "save and close" feature. Including such a feature would make it much, much easier to establish a workflow for my users.

Yiota -- no kidding, **thank you** again for your time and your trouble. That said, the solution you provided doesn't work. Any alternate solutions would be much appreciated, and if that's not possible, then I'll put in a request for the funtion in a future release.

Thanks again.

Hello Robert and I'm sorry the solution Ι provided doesn't work. I should have been more careful about that. Unfortunately I don't have anything to offer you for this. I have already noted this request for a future release.
