I want to create a page where visitors can submit an article from frontend in K2. But when I create a menu item with type as item edit form in K2, it throws an error in frontend. The whole website doesn't load.

Call To A Member Function Get() On Null

I have also tried making the menu item only for registered users. But after login also, it gives the same error.

  • I would suggest posting this on the K2 forum as there isn't anything we can really do here at JSE – Lodder Aug 10 '16 at 9:38

I posted the issue on k2 forum and got the answer. Following is the issue's reason and solution:

  1. In Helix Framework, when we create a menu item of type item edit form. It throws an error. So, this is the template issue. This option works fine in default joomla template.
  2. If you want to allow users to submit article from frontend using a menu item, then in Helix, go to Menu manager > menu item > set target window option to new window with navigation. Only then it will work.
  3. The best option is to use the login module of k2. When a user logs in, he can submit a new article by the option post new item in the user page or add item in the module.
