[SOLVED] CB Blogs + K2. Info missing. was created by PJMFD
I am running J2.5.9 with K2 2.6.5 CB1.9 and CB Blogs 4.0.1

Just got the CB blogs on the site and running it for registered users.
Set up CB Blogs to feed posts into a dedicated K2 Category with sub categories.

All works well apart from the info with regards to Written by (the user name is not showing), no graphics for rating stars, or font sizing etc.

I have attached a screenshot to show what I am getting.

The K2 category has been set up and is using default settings, as I haven't done any additional setting up.

Many thanks

CB Blogs has nothing to do with the display. The display is entirely handled by K2. CB Blogs just populates their database table with a new article entry. You should setup K2 to be integrated with CB so it handles name and profile URLs properly using CB API.

I did find a solution for this, which works on my website.

By turning off the Joomla plugin - "Content - Community Builder Author"
I understand that this is used for Joomla articles only?

I now have the Written By field displaying correctly

With regards to the stars not showing - nothing to do with CB, but just thought I would mention this in case anyone else is having similar issues! This was because I had my own k2.css file within my template css. Works great apart from the relative addressing for the star images were incorrect. I just copied the system folder from the K2 component - components/com_k2/images and placed it in my template images folder, so I didn't have to amend the addressing within my k2.css file.

Correct, you should not use it with any other content management system.

Great, thank you for sharing your solution for others.
