Is JA Social 1.2.4 compatible with K2 2.5.2, I created a “Demo Builder” environment and it is showing K2 2.4.1. I am currently on K2 2.5.2 (I know, I know, why did I upgrade….)

I am trying to mimic the demo Category View but it keeps displaying the image on the left and not displaying the Twitter share box.

Also it is killing some of the CSS after the k2 box, see below, it is not pulling the color variation that was chosen with the template. I thought it may have been an open div in the K2 item but I checked that and also when you click on the individual item it displays normally.

Ok this is solved. The read more button on JCE Editor is not closing correctly. I deleted the extra space at the end of the readmore button

<p>
Place your "intro text"
</p>
<hr id="system-readmore"space was here/>
<div>
Full item text
</div>

So to clarify read more button

<hr id="system-readmore"/>

This also fixes the issues people are having with the modules in the Left and Right positions going under the K2 Content area

Also another user pointed out the readmore button will cause the same issues if in between div tags see:ex1. I have also seen the issue when I don’t have a readmore button, I solved this by enclosing all my article or item in div tags see ex2.

ex1:

<div>
content
<hr id="system-readmore" />
more content
</div>

ex2:

<div>
<p>content</p>
</div>

Matt — thanks for the great heads up. How did you manually remove the space in the readmore between the “system-readmore” and the close HR tag (/>)?

I’m using JCE and make the change manually in the JCE code view, but after I save it does something to clean up the code which adds that space back again.

I think I posted too soon on the readmore “space” issue. I think the root problem is the placement of the readmore in relation to the div tags. The readmore can’t be enclosed in div tags, when it is for some reason the article isn’t closing some of it’s attributes and moving modules and killing css after the article/item view. I’ve also just changed my JCE editor’s default layout from paragraph<p> to div, so JCE will automatically enclose all my items when submitting, so if I add a readmore I just go in and close the div before the readmore and reopen after the readmore. Really annoying, but it seems to be happening no matter what template, when you search joomla there are a bunch of people saying the readmore is doing the same to them no matter the template.

Note: I will post more on how I post my items when I get home and my settings I have in my editor
