J-BusinessDirectory - Integration with Jomsocial and HWDmediashare,K2 and Ad agency

Hello,

I Am starting a new project that is in need of integration. I have just purchase j-BusinessDirectory for my site.

I would need some guidance on this.

My plan is to intergrate the following : Jomsocial and HWDmediashare,K2 and Ad agency

i will need hevy modification to the template or used an other one. I was looking at Rocketheme for a posible template becouse they support Responsive Layout and html5.

I dont know where to start.

Thanks

Hi,

You can use any template you want and you can start by installing all components. It is known that K2 system plugin for Joomal 3.x causes some problems. You will have to replace the plugin file with our patch file ( you can require it through e-mail)

Once you install all components make sure that there are no conflicts between them. Usually some js conflicts may appear.

It seems that both K2 and Jomsocial use some deprecated methods of retrieving http params  that causes Joomla to crash, preventing our application to function correctly.(task parameter is composed our of 2 params)

You can find more details about the deprecate method here: http://docs.joomla.org/Potential_backward_compatibility_issues_in_Joomla_3.0_and_Joomla_Platform_12.1

JRequest::getVar() is deprecated. Use JFactory::getApplication()->input->get() instead.

Solution K2:

You should edit {joomla}/plugins/system/k2/k2.php file and change all uses of 

$task = JRequest::getCmd('task');

with 

$task =JFactory::getApplication()->input->get('task').

Solution Jomsocial:

You should edit {joomla}}/plugins/system/jomsocialupdate/jomsocialupdate.php
and change all uses of 

$task = JRequest::getCmd( 'task' , '' );
with
$task =JFactory::getApplication()->input->get('task','').

Hi,

I have similar challenge with K2. After installation of J-BusinessDirectory you can't modify or add anything in administrator panel. When you turn K2 off, it starts working. Could you please send me this patch file as well?

Thx in advance

Hi,

Please replace the deprecated methods with the instructions that were presented above.
