images and media manager was created by Christos Ntoural

Hello,

I changed the template of my website in joomla K2. I have 2 media managers. Now When I upload an image in an item I dont know where to find it in K2.

Before in joomla, I uploaded in folder in media manager and I could find it.

I have double entries now of the images.

Please help me

When you say you don't know where K2 uploads the images do you mean when you are using the K2 Image tab to upload it or something else?

Yes. Before in joomla 2,5, I had the folders for every category and I used to ID (name) of the images and I uploaded. Now I upload the image via the image tab and I dont where image saved.

The K2 image is not uploaded in the images folder but in the media folder. The media folder is located in the root of your site. You cannot browse it through Media Manager.

If you already have every image under the K2 Image tab of each item then you should remove them. If you are still using them to fill in your items through the Browse server tab for each item you should keep them there a little while longer.

If you are browsing through the K2 Media manager you can create an archive of the folder by using a right click on the folder and then choose to download that archive with the images.
