Hi,
Upgraded K2 this afternoon & am now getting the following when creating/editing a K2 item

Fatal error: Cannot declare class upload, because the name is already in use in /home/...../public_html/administrator/components/com_k2/lib/class.upload.php on line 624

Can you try disabling extensions one by one to see which is causing this issue?

Start with Unite Revolution Slider 2

Hi,
Disabled all, starting w/ Unite.
Same problem.

Hi,

Looking at K2 categories I get the following warning:

Warning: Declaration of K2ElementExtraFieldGroups::render() should be compatible with K2Element::render($layoutId, $data = Array) in /home/..../public_html/plugins/k2/mefgfork2/elements/extrafieldgroups.php on line 14


Cheers,

I cannot verify this issue, nor has it been reported by other users using 2.8 or 2.8 DEV. Is this issue present in other sites as well?

Sorry,
2 more warnings when editing K2 category:

Warning: Declaration of K2ElementMultiSelects::render() should be compatible with K2Element::render($layoutId, $data = Array) in /home/.../public_html/plugins/k2/mefgfork2/elements/multiselects.php on line 0

Warning: Declaration of K2ElementImages::render() should be compatible with K2Element::render($layoutId, $data = Array) in /home/.../public_html/plugins/k2/mefgfork2/elements/images.php on line 0

Cheers,

These are coming from a 3rd party K2 extension.
Try disabling this extension (mefgfork2) as well.

Hi,
Disabled mefgfork2 - error msgs disappeared when editing a category.

However, still can't edit a K2 item:
Fatal error: Cannot declare class upload, because the name is already in use in /home/.../public_html/administrator/components/com_k2/lib/class.upload.php on line 624

Cheers,

Hi,
There is another instance of class.upload.php in /media/k2/assets/vendors/verot/class.upload.php/src/
Removing the directory leads to another fatal error - missing the verot version of class.upload.php

This issue has only arisen since updating K2 to 2.8. The verot class was updated as part of the k2 2.8 upgrade.

Kind regards,

As you can see -> github.com/getk2/k2/tree/master/components/com_k2 the /lib/ folder is not present in the 2.8.x version.

Try renaming that folder and see if the error is gone. Better yet clear all caches and reinstall 2.8 before performing any tasks.

Hi,

Thanks for following up on this.

I'm wondering if my upgrade went bad or something, since I still had these files in my structure, despite upgrading from the Joomla Extensions/manage/Update route.

I've now downloaded the 2.8 zip & installed that over K2 using Extensions/manage/Install route.

K2 now says it's running 2.8 -> (Last update: August 18th, 2017 - Version 2.8.0)

However, I'm still getting fatal errors on save:

Warning: require_once(/home/.../public_html/administrator/components/com_k2/lib/class.upload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/..../public_html/plugins/system/k2multiimages/K2MultiImages/administrator/models/itemmultiimages.php on line 5

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/.../public_html/administrator/components/com_k2/lib/class.upload.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php70/pear') in /home/.../public_html/plugins/system/k2multiimages/K2MultiImages/administrator/models/itemmultiimages.php on line 5

However, disabling the k2multiimages plugin allows me to save items. Perhaps this extension needs updating to account for the removal of class.upload.php from the lib folder?

Thanks again for your assistance - much appreciated.

Regards,
Eddie

Yes, the culprit was found :)
Report this issue to the K2 Multi Image devs so they can provide a solution and a possible update.
