Thanks for the reply! I've replaced the if/else with the code you provided and I'm only getting the introtext ... membersonlysupplements.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=4:busting-creatine-myths-wide-open&Itemid=349#.VDKHpOcapTd

This is what its suppose to look like (category view) - membersonlysupplements.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=category&id=16:creatine&Itemid=349#.VDKJM-capTd

For some reason when the item layout gets itemFulltext its getting an incorrect result.

Double check your category's settings. Then make sure that this category is not inheriting its settings from another category.

Also make sure that you have edited the settings for that particular item as well.

I have checked, double-checked, triple-checked ... categories, inherited categories and the items ...

This issue is independent from the if statement that queries these parameters.

I can even eliminate the if statement entirely and just force the fulltext in item.php and I still get no fulltext on the item layout .. this is super strange.

I checked the database and I do have content in the fulltext field.

I'll be happy to provide you admin access if you want to take a look?

Update

Now on this page (membersonlysupplements.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=4:busting-creatine-myths-wide-open&Itemid=349) I've eliminated the if statement and only have:

<div class="itemFullText">
<?php echo $this->item->fulltext; ?>
<br/><br/><strong>TESTING -- IS THIS FILE RENDERING THE ITEM PAGE? (components/com_k2/templates/default/item.php) -- TESTING</strong>
</div>

Which other extensions are you using?

Hi Krikor -

Been a while, huh? We've been building this site so we took a break from this issue while we worked on some others areas of the site. We've finally circled back around to this issue and we've discovered the cause.

Our client had installed the jl_coupons_code plugin (Simple Coupons Code) and it was manipulating the k2 content in the onContentBeforeDisplay trigger, removing the fulltext from display. This is the code from the plugin where fulltext is eliminated:

case 'com_k2':
if($context == 'com_k2.item' || $context == 'com_k2.itemlist'){
$html = preg_replace_callback($regex, array('plgContentJL_Coupons_Code', 'renderCouponsCode'), $row->introtext);
}else{
return;
}
break;

We've disabled the plugin for now and the issue is resolved.

Yeap, it's been some months.

I 'm really grateful that you posted the solution and the culprit :)
