K2 | The powerful content extension for Joomla! developed by JoomlaWorks

Hello,

I am running Joomla! 2.5.6 and K2 2.5.7 . I have recently come across an issue where the side bar appears broken & I can not save items.

This problem appeared to start occuring after updating to the latest version of JCE (2.2.5.3) However I have disabled the JCE plugins and the issue still remains.

I also tried to re-install K2 and this hasn't cleared the problem either. Could I have accidently altered a file within the K2 setup for this to occur, or could JQuery be conflicting with it? (I currently have it set to load remote copies of v1.7x jQuery & jQuery UI.

I have attached screenshots of what occurs. I have also tried to replicate this error on different servers with no success.

If someone would be so kind as to point me in the right direction to resolve this I would be very appreciative.

Thank you

James C

Hi. Since you have setup to load jQuery remotely you need to be connected to the internet. If you pick another editor does it work? Also check your page for javascript errors and let me know.

G'Day,

Thank you for your reply - this pointed me in the right direction to see what the error was.

It prompted me to install Firebug (it is awesome & I don't know why I haven't used it previously) - the error was occurring as a result of something completely different - the css & script files weren't able to be loaded due to a 403 error caused by my .htaccess file.

After some quick adjustments it is all working as excepted.

Thanks again for giving me some direction to troubleshoot this error

I'm having the same exact issue, were you using the .htaccess file from Joomla Magazine? Can you be more specific about what you changed? I've been searching for a solution.

I dont have the .htaccess file in front of me but the error I had was with JavaScript & Style sheets being blocked by the .htaccess file. You have the option to add an exception for back end extensions in the .htaccess setup. You need to include the path that stores k2's script files.

Edit - I'm using the Admin Tools Professional by AkeebaBackup.com .htaccess file.

In the advanced server protection rule exceptions section put the following in but adjust for k2

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !(\.php)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^components/com_agora/img/members/ - [L]

Firebug will show you the files being blocked (they will get 404 errors) just add the top most common directory & it will recurse down to the sub directories.

It is components/com_k2/scripts or similar from memory.
