News Show Pro GK5 not installing properly

Hello wonderful people,

I recently downloaded the "News Show Pro GK5" for J!3 and after several attempts installing it seems I cannot get it to work.
In backend the module shows up without the Joomla interface around it. (See screenshot)

Also all the links from the GK4-module adds "20-" to the first category in the link making the frontpage reload instead of going to the article.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please totally remove module and try to install it again. Which Joomla! 3.x do you use? Lates 3.2.3?

What do you mean by totally removing it? I have removed it (as in uninstalling it) and re-installed it a few times now. J!3-ver: Joomla! 3.2.3 Stable [ Ember ] 6-March-2014 14:30 GMT

Do you use some Advanced Module Manager or some additional back-end module which change the module layout? I've just checked latest package and all is fine.

I just use standard Joomla. No advanced anything here I just don't understand why the install would fail so many times in a row. Any other suggestions?

Maybe your module was not removed properly. Did you try to fix database before this process? Or just maybe you use magic_quotes in your PHP configuration which have to be disabled in Joomla! 3.x

magic_quotes is disabled. Interestingly enough I found remains of the module in the database. However I just re-installed it after completely removing every last piece of the module that I could find from the database. The problem still percists, so I'm inclined to believe that I didnt find everything in the database.

Here is an error (from the title when I open the module) that might help with diagnostics: Error: 0 SQL=SELECT c.name AS name, c.id AS id, c.parent AS parent FROM bl4ck_k2_categories AS c WHERE published = 1 AND trash = 0 ORDER BY c.name, c.parent ASC

Ok but did you fix database before this installation? I mean fix via Joomla! administrator settings - I suspect that database structure may not be up to date and this cause all this problems.

I cannot say that I did, nor can I say that I know how or fully understand what you mean. Global Config?

Yes I mean fix via Extension Manager » Database menu, where Joomla! can detect possible problem in database and update structure to latest correct.

Hi,

I have the same problems.

As I am working with a local install I can not give a link.

Today I upgraded a j2.5 site to j3.2.3. After deleting lots of plugins and modules. One of these was the newsshow pro from Gavick.
After reinstalling I get the same problems as reported above in this thread.
I changed the magic quotes to off in my MAMP: no change.
I deleted the module and reinstalled: no change.
I checked the database as described above: no problems, nothing to see, nothing to discover.

So: I am stuck for now.

Any advice much appreciated.

Greetings,
Paul

Hi,

I uploaded the webite with the newsshowpro problems to a live site. I can now confirm that newsshowpro also does not work on my Rochen account: I can show you some images if you need more information on this issue.
So it definitely is not a magic quotes error or any of the other suggested problematic issues.

Any response much appreciated.

Thank you.
Paul

Could you provide me access to your installation? I understand that your server is in 100% valid with Joomla requirements, yes?

Yes, I just sent you a pm with login data. The server is from Rochen, and in my experience their servers are okay.

Thank you.
Paul

Yes I mean fix via Extension Manager » Database menu, where Joomla! can detect possible problem in database and update structure to latest correct.

I still have not been able to fix this. I checked the database menu and found this error:

Database schema version (3.2.3-2014-02-20) does not match CMS version (3.2.3).

The issue was reported: http://docs.joomla.org/J3.2:Database_sc ... 2014-02-20)_does_not_match_CMS_version_(3.2.3)

and had a solution: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/3249/files

I made the suggested changes (even though it was described as a view problem, not a db problem).

I did a new install of the module with the latest update, however it did not solve the problem.

So in short:

Latest Joomla! version
Latest module version
No database errors
Fresh module install
Still not working

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I found a solution for my problem: delete all k2 files, and delete some k2 fields in the database.

My site was recently updated from joomla 2.5.* to Joomla 3.3.
Before updating I had deleted the k2 component, using the compinent manager inside the admin of joomla.
That went all-right, and after that - and after deleting lots of older 'old' plugins and components - I successfully upgraded to joomla 3.

After installing the news pro module i got an error message.
I checked the error-message that I get when I open the just installed module for the first time.
This is the error message:
error 1146 Table ...k2_categories'... does not exist.

K2 is not installed. I deleted it from the j2.5 version of the site before upgrading tot j3.2.3.
So first I tried to install K2. That went wrong: error messages and no better luck with the re-installed news pro module.
Then I checked the forum of K2 itself and read that I had to remove various files inside the database and the joom file-set in the the sub-folder component. So I did, re-installed the news pro module and got the same errors etc as before. I only want to delete and delete it: never to be used again. bit it keeps creeping up.

I suspect that when the news pro module gets installed it looks for signs of k2 inside the website, and on finding signs of these tries to do something with k2 that stops it working allright.

And then I remembered the sub-folder administrator as a location for k2 files!
Deleted them all there, reinstalled for the umptied time the mews pro module, and saw it working okay for the first time!

So, the problem is solved and it wasn't a news pro problem on-its-own, but one triggered by not complete delete of an ancient k2 version in my site.

Hope this helps you solving your problem with the news pro module.

Greetings,
Paul

It looks like K2 just leave some tables after removing and now there is kind of conflict with new version and the remains from the old Joomla. Error 1146 says that one of News Show Pro modules is trying to display non-existing content like K2 articles, are you sure that after K2 remove process you've also reconfigured all modules to not use K2 as a data source?

Thank you very much!
K2 was the culprit here. My NSP GK5 works now!

K2 had left A LOT of files behind, so after discovering them (in Extension Manager), I uninstalled them from my site. After that the NSP GK5 module started working. I did install K2 again afterwards to see if there were any more problems with it, but it installed fine and hence NSP continued working just fine.

Thanks so much for the help, guys!

No problem, this is a common issue that some extension is not removed properly. It is good that you found the solution for sure it will be helpful for other members.
