Joomla Components and Professional Joomla Templates

Hi,
Great news:-) I'm happy!

I just wanna show hotspot in my website so I install cb and comment. But I have some problems. First, the "com_k2" directions says:
go to components/com_k2/templates/yourtemplate/item.php at the end of this file add:

But I did not find components/com_k2/templates/yourtemplate/item.php

Am I missing something?

Second, according to the site (http://www.lunajoom.de/en/extensions/category/4-miscellaneous.html) diretions, I do not understand this sentence, After that go to Hotspots settings and activate Joomla Comment support.
What does Hotspots means? Is it inside community builder and Plugin Management or TabManagement? Or just inside component of Hotspots? I have tried severl days and can not figure out please help me. Thanks!!

components/com_k2/templates/yourtemplate/item.php

yourtemplate means: the template that you use( there are several folders, but only one of them is the template that you use).

Hotspots is just another joomla component.

1. upload com_k2 to administrator/components/com_comment/plugin

First of all thank you for effort to make this component available.

Here is my issue - unable to move com_k2 into my 'plugin' folder.

Tried several times,but it does not show up their in the 'plugin' folder.

Uploaded com_k2 to my 'Joomla 1.5' location and was trying to move into the path given '
1. upload com_k2 to administrator/components/com_comment/plugin'

But, it does not allow me to move it overthere. Therefore, can not excute the other steps.

I am the super administrator for Joomla blog i am working on, i set it up from the scratch. May be i am missing something that you can help. Do i need to activate any special permission to store the 'com_k2' in 'Plugin' directory.

Please advise.

-Vikas

well, the fact that you can not move the file to the specified path indicates that you don't have some kind of permissions over the file system. Do you use an ftp client or how are you trying to move the files?

I could put it into the root directory where i hosted the Joomla 1.5 package.

Technically it should allow me to move into the plugin folder from there..

Earlier i tried uploading through conventional install through 'Extension Manager' But, i got error "Warning! Failed to move file.
JFolder::create: Could not create directory
Unable to create destination"

Let me know if it helps.

Just now I tried using the 'Extenion Manager'
with 'Install from Directory' option.

I have already uploaded the 'com_k2' into 'tmp' folder before.

Now, When i used the 'Install from Directory' method.
I noticed the following error:
"Error! Could not find an XML setup file in the package.
Path does not have a valid package."

I have downloaded the com_k2.zip from the compojoom.

Please advise.

Please, don't install it through the extension manager (you will not be able to do so, because it is neither a plugin or extension for joomla - it is something that joomlacomment needs). You just should move the files through an ftp program such as filezilla. If you are unnable to do so - then there are some very tight restriction on your account. Contact your hosting support and ask them to remove those restrictions for your ftp user. Then you won't have problems moving files around in the future.

Thanks for you quick response.

I have the 'com_k2' in a tmp folder at the hosting site.

I manage that myself so have the 'SAdmin' rights. Unless, i am missing something here..

All i am trying to achieve that the blog articles on my site should have options for the viewers to comment on it. Do you have any other alternative to make it work...

Thanks.

I thought that the readme file is clear enough.
First thing unzip the file you have downloaded. Second step go to administrator/components/com_comment/plugin and upload com_k2 to this folder. This is all here.
Then you have to make changes to the k2 templates.

The first step should be easy enough, how did you manage to upload joomla to your hosting? It is the same.

It's strange that i can upload 'com_K2' in the Plugin folder neither can i transfer the same from the 'root' directory.

Unless, you have the 'xml' file packaged within 'com_k2' so anyone can upload from the 'Extension' Manager.

Daniel,

Reference to com_k2: components/com_k2/templates/yourtemplate/item.php

I am using the beez template and modified it as per my requirement.

- Could not find templates in com_k2 folder.
- item.php is not there ethier.
- Unable to upload com_k2 in the com_comment folder. I tried changing its file premissions but i get a message

"FileOp Failure on:/home/netuserc/public_html/Blog_Test/administrator/components/com_comment: Operation not permitted."

Any suggestions how to fix it Please advise.

-Vikas

Obviously you are have a very strange hosting configuration.
You could try to make the changes to the filesystem using the backend of joomla. try it with this extension for example:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/102/details

I used Beez template already in the joomla version 1.5

how do i added comments to my articles. How can i intergrate it with Beez template to have comments on my every article published.

Can we try it one more time right from the scractch if you don't mind please. Just wanted to make sure i did not miss anything.

-Vikas

would you start a thread in the forum and let us begin from the beginning. I have the feeling that either I don't understand what you do, or you don't understand what you have to do

I did start a thread in the forum. However,your help will be appreciated

-Vikas

Hey Daniel, i'm curious...any plans on building it for other CCK's like flexicontent etc?

Good work here Much needed!..

Thanks

Hi,
Before enything, sorry for my english I'm french, so I'm not really sure to post in the good comment!!

I would like to know if it exist a community builder plugin to have a tab with users comments in their profiles (with !joomlacomment component)?

If it exist, where can I find him?

Thank you very much...

Is this working with k2 v2.2?

It doesn't look like.

Best regards,
Dimitris

Hi,
I also wonder if com_k2 works with K2 v2.2, as I am not able to see the com_k2 option in the dropdown list (step 3 of installation_instruction.txt).

Thanks for you help!
