Kunena 1.6.1 Released

Details
Published: 07 November 2010

Introduction

The Kunena Team is excited to announce the release of Kunena 1.6.1. This is a maintenance release for Kunena 1.6 and all users are recommended to upgrade  (backing-up and testing are strongly recommended).

New in Kunena 1.6.1 Hightlights: Advanced ACL and an auto-blending default template (code name: skinner), various languages have been added for over 30 included languages, new module positions called kunena_topic_nnn and kunena_section_nnn, ability to limit the JomSocial activity stream entries in length.

Since the stable release of Kunena 1.6, the Kunena team has been focused on fixing over 100 bugs and issues including CSS fixes, router issues, usability issues, API issues, HTML validation issues, modules and plug-ins, and also updating language translations.

Kunena 1.6 marks a major milestone for the Kunena Project. A long list of open source contributors have committed over 3000 changes and have helped make Kunena the leading forum solution for both Joomla 1.5 and 1.6. A long list of new features in addition to various optimizations and code restructuring have resulted in the most advanced version of Kunena to date.

We continue to put a big emphasis on usability and ease of installation. Therefore, the installer has been further enhanced to allow for multiple installation and upgrade options. It performs incremental steps to avoid timeouts on slower hosts. It automatically performs actions such as taking the forum offline during the installation or upgrade and re-enables it after completing the install.

Kunena now supports Joomla 1.6 style languages files that are backwards compatible with Joomla 1.5. Multiple languages are included in the base install packages and more will be available soon. They can also be installed separately. Kunena 1.6 also supports multiple languages  installed on a single system and, together with Joomla, allows users to select their preferred language.

Templates have now been separated from the underlying code, which allows for version-independent template development. Templates can embed various options that can be set via the included template manager (e.g. avatar position on left, right, top, or bottom in the new default template, Blue Eagle).

The Kunena Team is fully committed to Joomla 1.6 and beyond and a number of modules have been developed to lay the groundwork for future releases of Joomla.

I am not aware of any "invite friends" menu function. I am certainly not aware of any such feature of Kunena.

K1.6.2 has not a lot of improvements, it's mainly a maintenance release which fix plenty of issues. K2.0 is still in working in progress, so we need to release something with k1.6.x untill k2.0 isn't ready.

Did you upgrade to 1.6.2?

This problemen is a known issue for 1.6.1, but upgrading to 1.6.2 should solve it.

I have had that configuration set to "always" for quite some time. Users still cannot delete their own posts.

I will look for the help categories. I thought this was it.

This is not a topic to seek help. If you want help please use one of the help categories. When asking for help, it will help you if you give some details about your Kunena configuration (your K 1.6 configuration report will do this for you). Users can delete their own posts in K 1.6 according to the rules as you define them in your Kunena configuration settings. It is highly unlikely your present circumstances are a "bug". K 1.6.2 (when it is made available to the public) is unlikely to make any difference to what's happening at your site. On the other hand, you may have genuinely discovered a software defect.

By default, users cannot delete their own messages. You can change that behaviour by changing the third Kunena Forum Configuration » Security setting. Have you tried this feature?

I know nothing about www.globalfreeenterprise.com or who they are or what they do. www.globalfreeenterprise.com is not endorsed as an approved source of Kunena.

I got some help installing Kunena into my joomla site at

www.globalfreeenterprise.com

I have, through the administrator site, allowed registered users to delete their own posts.

I have version 1.6.0 and it does not allow registered users to delete their own posts. I was told by the organization that installed joomla and Kunena for me that an older version does in fact work on this dimension and that if I had the older version installed, this feature would work, but my template would need to be changed.

I was also told that version 1.6.2 is about to be released. Is this true? Does anybody know if the bug preventing this feature (the ability to delete one's own posts) is fixed in version 1.6.2?

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

The only reliable source to obtain kunena is joomlacode.org/gf/project/kunena/frs/

What version do you have installed K1.6.0 or K1.6.1 or an another one ?

I have just obtained the Kunena forum installation for Joomla at www.globalfreeenterprise.com

I have set permission for each visitor to delete his or her own posts to "always."

Whenever I try to delete my own posts, I get an error message saying that it has already been done, but the messages never goes away.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your help.

Nope - 41.41k is 41,410 views.

Why are we shortening the numbers? Because they can get way too long to fit into the template - that would break the page layout.

Many small forums never reach numbers that high and will never see that feature. But some of our forums have Millions of posts and 10s of millions of views.

With this logic (which is part of the template - we just provide the function underneath) designers can leverage the space on the screen much better. 10,000 becomes 10.00k, 100,000 becomes 100.0k, 10,000,000 becomes 10.00M and so on. It is always using 4 significant digits to display the number.
In the end we are talking about topic views - not a number that anybody really needs to see all of it, as it changes from second to second.

Hope this helps!

Kunena 1.6/1.7 Reflections

Details
Published: 04 October 2010

We did it! As of tonight - the closing night of Joomla Day West 2010 - the biggest one ever, hosted in the US - we have released Kunena 1.6.0 stable.

What a ride! We have been working hard for the last 9 months to bring you the best Kunena ever. The changelog file is more than 3500 (!) lines long.

A HUGE thanks goes to Matias who has delivered large portions of the new architecture, closely followed by xillibit who has become the second most active committer in 2010. If you have not seen the latest JoomlaCode.org stats (click here) - both are within the top 10 committers in all of Joomla in 2010. Matias is #3 and xillibit is in #7 overall position for 2010 - again this is for all of JoomlaCode.org!

Our lead committers are closely followed by myself, severdia, dragan (@quila), 810 and additional support came from the allmighty eddieajau, the infamous louis, sam and our team members sozzled, LittleJohn, LDA, TDP2, Mortti, Alakentu and rich.

Kunena has become a real community, 9 quarters of sustained development work has made Kunena the 3rd most active component of all of Joomla code and the top component for 2010. Kunena is not a one day wonder, its not commercial in any way and we are modeling our community more and more after Joomla itself.

And it is far from over. We will be contributing parts of Kunena into other Joomla projects - like our advanced build and install system, to allow ALL joomla developers, to leverage these complex subcomponents in there own work. In a session with Andrew Eddie and Azrul this weekend, we decided to start work on extension skeletons that contain all the proper basics including build scripts that will make extensions better.

I would like to take this opportunity to say great job and thank you to the whole Kunena team.
As a blind Joomla! site owner and maintainer I am always looking to keep everything on my site accessible and the Kunena team has done it's self proud with Kunena 1.6.0.
Not only is the front-end totally accessible but so is the administration area.

I am now awaiting (with baited breath! )the release of Kunena 1.6.1 and the new Kunena Skinner template (aka (to me anyway) - The Chameleon).

Again, my most heart felt thanks to all the developers and moderators for there help, and a special thanks goes out to "M" (you know who you are) for all your time, effort and hours spent on skype helping me get things working properly as well as your recommendations, suggestions and art work.

THANK YOU

We hear you loud and clear. We use the discuss bot here on the site and are seeing the issues. At the same time there are literally 100x more people that first need to get 1.6.x problems resolved. If you check the work and amount of hours we have been putting into this - as a free donation to the community, you will see that this is more than a full time job.
As soon as we can spare a couple hours away from helping the community get over the initial hurdles, we will focus on that. We did not ever have a discuss bot before, we shared the pre-release so to collect feedback and find issue. We see a lot of demand, but not always contributions that help.

Remember we don't own this as a product, we don't sell any portions of it, we are here to help each other and we will do so with as much time as we can afford away from our day jobs and families.
We said we will look into it once 1.6.0 gets stable enough to stand on its own and we stay to that.

Feel free to join in and help out in any way you can, but please don't remind us every day what else we should be doing.

Have a great day!

The problem is that many people cannot upgrade to 1.6.0, because of the way discussbot behaves.
You also mentioned that this behavior should be fixed by the time that 1.6.0 goes stable:

FYI - Progress on Kunena 1.7 is steady and we have already coded the majority of data model changes related to the extreme performance initiative we are working on. Early test results show that queries against 10-100x data volumes perform as quick as the current ones - if not better. We are using advanced indexing and materialization techniques that will boost extreme large sites to and beyond where the best and biggest forums out there can scale too. We are also looking at smart caching algorithms that could allow us to take this even further - all of course based on the Joomla 1.5 and 1.6 framework.
Joomla 1.6 support for both Kunena 1.6 and 1.7 is almost complete and we are just waiting for the Joomla 1.6 RC to fix the last remaining bugs.
It has been busy around here and many more things are in the making.

"We will be contributing parts of Kunena into other Joomla projects - like our advanced build and install system, to allow ALL Joomla developers, to leverage these complex subcomponents in their own work."

Perhaps, of ALL the features that may go little noticed by most users of Kunena, this is by far the most significant achievement in my mind. I have said it before on several occasions, and I'll say it again, that the Kunena installation procedure is a new standard for installing Joomla extensions - it's a feature that many other big name developers are lacking and that is needed to make it not only easier, but make it worthwhile, for Joomla users to upgrade their extensions.

Overall, this was an amazing achievement by everyone who was involved and I feel honoured that I was able to make a small contribution to the project. Thank you.

Kunena 1.6.0 Stable Released!

Published: 03 October 2010

Introduction

The Kunena Team is excited to announce the release of Kunena 1.6.0 stable. This is the final release for Kunena 1.6 and is stable enough to be used on live production websites. We encourage all users of prior Kunena releases to upgrade to 1.6 (backup and testing are strongly recommended!).

Since the third release candidate of Kunena 1.6, the Kunena team has been focused on fixing over 100 bugs and issues including CSS fixes, IE7 and IE8 compatibility, usability issues, API issues, html validation issues, new modules and plug-ins and updating languages translations.
