Hi

I purchase and installed the Minitek Content Notifications: the 2 month support.

Problem 1:
I don't not see the param in the (plugin version1.0.4) to input the download ID

Problem 2: --- not properly connected to K2

i.) For K2, items, it is not grabbing the "item # nor category ID: if set to auto....also if i use "AUTO" in the shortcode ..the FOLLOW link on on the published item/article becomes dead NOT clickable. however if i use a JOOMLA content category and article # in the K2 item shortcode then k2 article Link becomes alive with the Joomla category and article info.

PROBLEM 3:

The subscription on the k2 published pages is not showing the 2 check boxes for EMAIL and updates Notification

MY SHORTCODE used for testing:
............................................

with JOOMLA item number and category ID: in this case ....in this case the wiget is now clickable BUT with the JOOMLA category and article info.

{mcnotifications layout="default" option="com_content" item="80" item_params="f,b,e,t" category="19" category_params="f,e,t"}

........................................................................................

In the case below the wigit on the k2 item page does not open and it not clickable

{mcnotifications layout="default" option="com_content" item="auto" item_params="f,b,e,t" category="auto" category_params="f,e,t"}

Please help

Hi there,

1. You need the Minitek Updates Authentication for that. You will find instructions here:
https://www.minitek.gr/support/documentation/general/products-updates/what-is-the-download-id

2 & 3. Both these problems occur because your website has javascript conflicts. Please see attached image.
Have you checked your website for javascript errors before installing the extension?
https://www.minitek.gr/support/documentation/frequently-asked-questions/joomla-extensions/my-website-has-existing-javascript-errors-what-can-i-do
None of our extension will work if there are existing errors in the console.

Hi Yanis,

Please note that your software works on Joomla but does not work with K2.

OK i have done a CLEAN WEBSITE INSTALL in a new sub folder. I have not install any other extensions whatsoever except your content notification. I have tested and there is no javascript issues. The Joomla version is 3.72 and i re-downloaded your software and install it. However it is still not working with K2. it only works with JOOMLA.

Please test and see:

Here is the K2 page where i put the code: ...the code has the item ID and Category ID of the below item/article . but it does not gram the item number nor category using "AUTO" not the IDs

nor the IDs i meant

That's because you were using the code
option="com_content"
in the shortcode.
I changed it to
option="com_k2"
and now everything works ok.

For K2 items, you must use
option="com_k2"

Hi Yannis,

Thank for the reply and the head up about the "com_k2" vs the "com_content"

I still have one problem using the below short code:

JOOMLA:
{mcnotifications layout="default" option="com_content" item="auto" item_params="f,b,e,t" category="auto" category_params="f,e,t"}

K@:
{mcnotifications layout="default" option="com_k2" item="auto" item_params="f,b,e,t" category="auto" category_params="f,e,t"}

**NOT PICKING UP THE CATEGORY ID with "auto" ****
in both case joomla or K2, the ...item="auto"...works OK and picks up the article/item ID and shows the title to the user. However for category="auto" it does not pick up the category ID. I have to be manually putting in the category ID number for the category Title to show.

all the joomla articles on the site have the shortcode pasted at the bottom. i have the actually category ID written in each code ...please fix so i can just type "auto" to pick up the category title.

Hi Everton,

Yes, that true. The category="auto" will only work for category pages, not for article pages.

I will add this functionality in the next version.

Thanks for the reply, I hope the fix comes out before my 2 months support is up?

Don't worry about that. I will extend your subscription if the update is released after the expiration.

Just reply to this ticket.
