I've followed first the basic advice given here (http://www.templatemonster.com/help/joomla-how-to-enable-frontend-editing-in-k2-component.html). I believe without doing anything wrong.
My problem is that even logged in as an admin on the frontend I cannot edit K2 articles. Because the Edit button does not appear a the top of my article. It works for Joomla article though just K2's seems to be a problem.
Anyone knows where I should look into ? I'm not familiar with Joomla btw.
Thanks a lot, cheers,
NM
By default you can't edit K2 items in the front end as you can do with Joomla articles.
In K2 you need to create a user group with front-end editing privilege.
Joomla administration-> menu K2 -> User Groups
Create a group with all privileges and no filter for the K2 categories at the bottom. Next you need to assign users who will have editing privileges to this group. Still in the K2 administration panel, click Users on the left menu. From the list of users displayed, Edit the ones that should be assigned to the group previously created.
You can now login in the front-end of the site and you should be able to edit the K2 items.

My website runs under Django 1.6 and I'm using the very nice Django admin two box multi-selector widget for some of my site forms. I've just discovered, however, that the two box selector only appears in my forms for users who have staff/admin status. Everyone else sees the not so nice one box selector that requires scrolling and holding down the control key to find select multiple items.
I don't want to give all of these users access to the entire admin site. Is there a way to fix this? I can't seem to find where the check for admin rights is being made. It seems like this widget is pretty popular and I don't see similar questions, so I feel like I'm missing something.
Thanks for your help.
Since I still don't have any clear direction on this, I took the alternative action of adding code to assign is_staff=1 when users are given access to the forms that use the multi-select control and remove those rights when access is removed.
I've created a few web forms (WFFM) in Page Editor (Tell a friend and 2 blank forms), but they don't appear in the site after I published them. What can it be? Thanks in advance.
If you can see this form in the page editor but not on your website this is pointing out it has something to do with publishing. Try to open your environment in Desktop mode (when login in u can select it) and re-check if u can see all the items in the web database. For example if your placeholder settings are not published you will find this behavior to happen. Recheck all items that need to be published (layouts / sublayouts / placeholder settings / form itself / form fields etc.) and that should solve your problem.
Hi I have got a few lists with Lookup fields from Source lists. I wish to have a Related lists (Webpart connections from 2007 days) where I select item from master and then child records are displayed. Although I have followed the instructions on the below article, the "relationship" bit is not working. The Related records from the child lists are not filtering rather showing all records from the child table.

I also encountered this issue, and the solution is pretty simple, but not very obvious. When creating a new page, you MUST be sure that you create a page of type Web Part Page. When you use the default "Add a Page" option from the site settings menu, the default page type is a Wiki page, not a web part page. Even though you can add web parts to a Wiki page, the Wiki page does not include the functionality for implementing web part connections.
Once I created a page using one of the Web Part Page types, I was able to use web part connections.
have you tried this:
Browse to the affected page, and then open the page in edit mode.
Click the drop-down arrow in the upper-right corner of the Web Part for the tasks list, and then click Edit Web Part.
On the right side of the page in the Web Part properties controls, click the plus sign (+) on the Miscellaneous section, click to select the Server Render checkbox, and then click OK.
Save the changes to the page.

Your question is very hard to read and understand your problem specifically.
I guess that your problem is that you don't know how to set the Joomla ACL correctly, so that's why you face these problems.
I suggest you read this article to help understand the concept of Joomla ACL.
Alternatively, I suggest you watch the author's videos on Lynda.com video tutorials, they are very good.
I have a Publishing Portal site and I need to add some announcements to some of the pages. I've read an article which says that i have to create an announcement list to be able add an announcement web part but i can't seem to find any resources on how i can add an announcement list.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
TIA!
Your problem is that you have not activated the relevant feature on the site settings page. You need to go to the site collection site settings page. Then select Site Actions - manage site features
Then activate the feature called Team Collaboration lists. You will now be able to create an announcement list
From the home page of your site (or from any page really) you should see a "View All Site Content" link on the top of the navigation menu.
View All Site Content http://friendfeed.s3.amazonaws.com/86fed07f0809beefaeeaee0013ee2b952079bc09
Click on that link and it will show you a dashboard listing all of the SharePoint lists that have been provisioned for the current site. Click on the Create button to create a new SharePoint list.
Create new SharePoint List http://friendfeed.s3.amazonaws.com/6c0b244801826f8b3ee01811211b88668ba8f713
From there you will see the option to create an Announcments list (under the Communications header). Complete the wizard to complete the list.
Once the list is created you can select Edit Page from the Site Actions menu on any SharePoint page in the site and then select a "Add a Web Part" on the web part zone you want to put your Announcements web part into. You should now see a web part listed with the same name as your Announcements list that you just created.
Select that web part to add it to the page and display.
Hope that helps. If this isn't the answer to your problem leave a comment or update your question with clarification and I will try to help.
Giving you direct instructions on how to create the list would most likely leave you more lost than ever. If this is a publishing portal, there's a lot more to learn beyond just creating a list. Content must be approved, and is versioned. I'd strongy advise you not to start poking around in there as you run a large risk of messing up the portal. Don't get stressed by people demanding you perform such things without having received any training. Grab yourself a coffee, flip your boss the finger and watch some pertinant webcasts on http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/FX101211721033.aspx
Hope this helps,
