Hello there,

So I have a fresh install Joomla Version 3.8.5
Just installed K2 and started to set stuff up.

Whenever Joomla brings up a K2 Article Page I receive the 2 error messages: The first one (1) is on top of the screen before the title, the second message (2) before Read xx times.

1) Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in E:\xampp\htdocs\Joomla\components\com_k2\models\item.php on line 877

2) Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in E:\xampp\htdocs\Joomla\components\com_k2\templates\default\item.php on line 248

I receive no other error message anywhere on the site. Everything else is normal. I went through the count options on the category screen and turn off anything that was counting related. Still no go.


PHP Version 7.2.1

Hello,

Can you try using the DEV version?
github.com/getk2/k2
2.8.1 will also be released shortly

It's the same with the DEV version.

This happens in PHP 7.2.X and when an item does not have any extra fields assigned. Removing the count helps the error go away but will it open floodgates in other version of PHP? :P

components/com_k2/models/item.php
line 760 // Extra fields plugins

changed to

Hello there Kannan :)
What does var_dump($item->extra_fields) produce in your items?
I mean the ones with no extra fields.

Χαίρετε Krikor :)

It returns NULL.

This warning message shows in other areas too, like the frontend edit form

Before selecting category
Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in E:\mytemplate....\html\com_k2\default\itemform.php on line 123

After selecting category
Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in E:\.....\administrator\components\com_k2\models\extrafield.php on line 211

This has something to do with PHP 7.2.x - This warning does not show in PHP 7.1.9

See Here

I' 'll look into it but another check but this warning will not affect your site's functionality.
Removing that check might cause issues.This might be a more suitable solution

I´ve got the error and i solved it. i changed to php 7.2 this week but the error appeared this week. why?

I see that the last version of k2 is from auust 2017. do you know when there would be a new version? Is there any problem? Which is the php versoin for joomla?

Is the new version ready? I´ve been looking getk2.com and it says that the current version is from 17th August 2017.
which is the suitable version for the current version of k2? php 7.2 or previous?

after update to 2.9.0 still having the same issue, any other suggestions?

Hi Fotis,

The link you provided it's not available.
Here is a link on one of my websites which give me this problem:
careers.mosconsultbg.com

If you navigate to History/Benefits/Culture/Internship menus you will see the error in the top and bottom of the page

Hi Fotis,

I already installed 2.9.1 and it already fixed the first problem. Thanks for it.

But I misunderstood you about the second one - which code shall I paste in K2 Override?

Hi Fotis,

Here is the code on line 131:
/templates/gk_msocial/html/com_k2/templates/default/item.php


<?php if($params->get('itemExtraFields') && count($this->item->extra_fields)): ?>

Hello,
I also have 2.9.1 installed and the second I probably need a code, right?

Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in /var/www/web25494274/html/twingo/components/com_k2/templates/default/category_item.php on line 134


Thanks in advance!
