Question "Poll: Add an option" doesn't work

Dear Kunena Team,

first of all thanks for your brilliant work and dedication to this open-source project. It's simply awesome and I really love what you've done so far.

Unfortunately, I am running into problems using the forum system, especially the "Poll" function. At www.realm667.com/index.php/kunena/let-us-know/topic/create you can find my forum in action, everything works fine so far but unfortunately, the "Add Poll Option" doesn't work at all.

Clicking the + or - is useless, I don't get errors but there is nothing happening. What do I have to do to fix it?

Best regards,
Dan

I did a quick test. The "+"/"-" buttons rely on a Javascript function to execute and this function relies on Mootools. If the Mootools library is not properly functioning (e.g. you may have another Javascript library loaded that is clobbering Mootools) then these buttons will be "useless", as you say.

That's my reasoning why the buttons are without function on your website. A quick look at the HTML source on your site shows that you're loading a number of Javascript libraries; these are probably loaded because they're needed by other Joomla extensions you're using. One or more of these may be responsible for clobbering the function(s) used within Kunena. I cannot tell you which one(s).

As a general guide, I suggest you read Javascript and Kunena .

Thanks a lot for the reply, I will take a closer look at the topic and also at the functions that are loaded as well. Maybe I will find a solution

*EDIT*
I tried to track it down but it is definitely harder than I've thought. What is the best way to find the plugin, component or module which is responsible for breaking the Kunena Poll functions?

There are several ways:

• You could try using a standard Joomla template (protostar) and then disable every module, plugin or component that is not a standard feature of Joomla. As you disable each Joomla extension test if you can add poll options.
• You could start again, with a clean installation of Joomla and then add Kunena and see if you have this problem. At least, this way, you will know that the problem is not a Kunena problem.
• You could pay someone to do the work for you.
• You could decide that polls are not that important for your forum.

Most Javascript problems that we have seen are caused by the Joomla template that people have installed. I am not saying this problem is caused by your Joomla template. I do not know anything about your website. You have not provided usw with your configuration report, so I am just guessing.
