image button doesn't work in k2 front end new item form

Hi,
I have this problem in k2 front end new item creation form where Image button doesn't open the media manager interface to insert images.
I installed a fresh copy of news template(using quick start) and added a menu item with "K2>item edit form" type to user menu.
Now when I edit a K2 item on front end( where K2 edit interface loads in a lightbox/modal window) image button works as expected, but when I use "K2>item edit form" to post new item(where K2 edit interface loads in new window), image button(as well as article button) doesn't do anything.
I solved this problem by using an altered url from "html\com_k2\templates\default\item.php" and put it in a custom HTML module and etc.

Code: Select all

<a class="itemEditLink modal" rel="{handler:'iframe',size:{x:990,y:550}}" href="index.php/create-article">Post Item</a>

I posted this here to report an issue, if there's any, or get guidance if I'm doing something wrong that cause this problem.

P.S. I have this problem in news 2 template as well.

Hi

Can You please send me some screenshots. I just want to make sure I understand what You have in mind and will report this to programmers.

I sent you a pm containing a demo installation of the news template, in the user menu you can see the "Create K2 Item" link and test the image button.
Thanks in advance!

Hi

I've reported this to programmers. Will let You know when they will answer.

Hi,
Any news?

Hi

Noone answeared, so I was not notified, but when I look as my report again I see it was added as task for new framework update. So if will be implemented

dziudek added this to the Gavern 3.16 milestone 2 days ago

Thanks! looking forward to it.

Hi

I got an answer that it's working ok on our demo now, so it was fixed or You need to use a different editor. Please try it and let me know.

Hi,
I just downloaded quark quick start package and the problem is still there.
Installed JCE editor but image button still does nothing.

Hi

Ok. Will check it and resend to programmers.

Hi

Ok. Programmers are asking for the joomla panel and ftp access. Do not forget about an url to Your new site.

Hi

Ok. Nevermind the access. Programmers just started to work with that and looks like it's not working with a default joomla template as well, so it has to be joomla or k2 related. They will report this to joomla developers instead.

Hi,
Think I should wait for Joomla 3.4 and k2 v3 to get this to work,
Anyways, thanks for your time.

Hi

Yes I think the same. It's not working with beez20 or protostar which are default joomla templates, so there must be something wrong with it, but You can still use in-editor button to upload images.

Hi,
Sorry didn't try it myself in the first place, I think it's K2 related issue. Oh and thanks for the tip.
