The author selection is not working was created by Fahad

Hi. After updating joomla to the latest version the function to select author in K2 articles have stopped working. I have tried re-installing K2 but it did not help. How can I fix this issue?

Hello Fahad,

Which version of K2 are you using?

Can you check the console tab of your browser's developer tools for any JS errors?

Thank you Fahad,

The error was shown under the console tab.
Can you try using the DEV version?

Thank you. I just tried the dev version from the link you sent, but it did not solve the problem.

This is the code that is producing the error:

    if ( typeof (window.parent.SqueezeBox.close == 'function')) {
        SqueezeBox.close();
    } else {
        parent.$K2('#sbox-window').close();
    }

This invoke's Joomla!'s default MooTools Squeezebox modal.
I just tested it, both in the item form and in the menu and module forms. It is working as expected.
Have you by any chance removed that modal, or are you using any optimisation/ performance extensions in the administrator?
