Ahh, thanks Patrick. I've found it under Page Display Options > Show Page Heading - which I need to set to No for all the existing menu items.
When I create a new menu item this setting is set to No by default.

Appreciate your help

Hi,

I've just migrated a site from 1.5 to 2.5 and now I have a duplicate of all my article headings. So each article heading appears as a H1 and directly below as a H2.

Has anyone else had this problem and knows why it is occurring and how I can get rid of the H2 headings?

Thanks

Hi All,
My client uses K2 and wants to use commenting on one article. They want public to view the comments but only registered users to be able to make comments which it looks like I can do by default in K2 (it took me some searching to find that when logged in I couldn't see the comment form as I wasn't in the 'registered' users group within the K2 users area...see bottom of this thread here if you have had that issue too: getk2.org/community/New-to-K2-Ask-here-first!/7476-Comments-registered-users-only-doesnt-work)

They also want users to be able to choose to 'subscribe' to the commenting thread which I see is a feature of K2 MultiNotify (k2joom.com/k2-extensions/k2multinotify-extension) and of JComments (extensions.joomla.org/extensions/contact...ticles-comments/9985).

The other major thing they want is for people to comment on comments thereby creating a nest of comments (almost like a forum layout). I think the only extension I can see that does this is JComments.

Has anyone had any experience using JComments in K2 - I see a lot of issues noted in the forums for JComments so wanted to get any educated views from the MJUG community if they exist!

Thanks,
Jen

Hi,
Just a quick update on this. I have gone with DocMan. It had the key features I needed which was to download a file directly from a K2 article (file link viewed by public but only registered users can actually download). This meant once logged in, the user can download direct from an article and not be sent to another page. Plus the statistics is excellent which is what the client wants. I find the backend admin of files/document was initially confusing but now I get it I think it will be a good way to manage what the client has.
We haven't gone live with it yet and it will require some development tweaking so we'll see how we go...
Regards,
Jen

Hi Patrick,

Here was the offending bit of code that was added to the template index.php file. (not the main index file in the public htmlfolder.
This was added in by the seo company (however they are still denying this)

Why they would make changes to this file for redirection is a mystery to me...
So I am not sure that it helps anyone. But I have posted as requested.

The lesson here is more so.

Dont give any other company access to your website...


echo $uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if ($uri = "/news/item/70-kindy-ballet-babes.html?tmpl=component&print=1") {
header("Location: www.wwebsitegoeshere.com.au");
} elseif ($uri = "/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=70:kindy-ballet-babes&Itemid=16") {
header("Location: www.wwebsitegoeshere.com.au");
}


I have gone back and removed the websites name from these posts, just for privacy of the client...


Cheers,

Ant S.

Migration and upgrade should be treated as the same types of processes - which is a 1.5 -> 2.5 change to the site. (Even more complicated for a 1.0 -> 1.5 -> 2.5 upgrade - you would manually migrate I would hope in this type of instance from 1.0 to 2.5)

Update is the term I find used for a 1.5.25 -> 1.5.26 or a 2.5.3 -> 2.5.4 and is in the terminology in Joomla 2.5's "Update Manager" and Admin Tools "Joomla Updates Found".

Have not had that happening... but are you using a saved password in a browser? If the saved password has not updated itself the next time you changed it, you might find that is the cause.

Hi all,

On another note.
Just wanted to query if anyone else is having the following issue.

Our password keeps failing after we log out of the forum and then try to log back in.
We then have to request the "forgot password" link and create a new password.

It is happening on 2 accounts. We did have a number only password on both accounts. I have just changed this to a combination of numbers and letters now and will see if it happens again.

Cheers,

Hi all,

I have a rather urgent issue on one of our websites that has just come up.

waps.com.au

The site has been up for around a year without issue.
It has just now got caught in a redirection loop.

The site has an external seo company that does access the cpanel set up and the cms.
They are not supposed to make changes without notifying us, but I think this has happened.
(will be contacting them when they are open tomorrow)

This is what I have done to problem solve so far:

Joomla 1.5.26
sh404sef was installed but not enabled, I have uninstalled this
xmap was installed but not being used i have uninstalled this

Core sef was being used
While this was switched on the error message was "Forbidden access flooding"
Once this was switched off the message went to this:
(in firefox) The page isn't redirecting properly
"Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

I have then gone in and checked the .htaccess file for any changes.
I found some 301 redirects.
I took a copy of these and then removed them from the .htaccess file and then re uploaded and cleared cache, but found no change to the site.

I have tried accessing the site via the ip with the same error message.

so a bit stuck as to what to do next.
Obviously a big issue with a client site down, so I am keen to get it solved.
If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

Other than that I will keep researching and testing.

Regards,

Ant.

Any suggestions on this one? I have the 2.5 version running on a subdomain and I now want to transfer all the users from the 1.5 version to the 2.5 version then transfer the whole lot to the main domain.

What is the best way that anyone might be able to share?

Thanks,

John

Brilliant - I hadn't thought of that. Good idea. I'm all set now though and just feeling happier about the whole thing.
Cheers,
