Kunena 1.6.4 Released!
- Details
Introduction
The Kunena Team has now released Kunena 1.6.4 as a native Joomla extension for J! 1.5.23 and J! 1.6.3. This is a maintenance release for Kunena 1.6 and all users are recommended to upgrade to Kunena 1.6.4 (backup and testing are strongly recommended!).
K 1.6.4 makes all previous releases of Kunena obsolete and all users of prior Kunena releases are urged to upgrade as soon as possible.
In order to achieve better interoperability with both J! 1.5 and J! 1.6, a lot of work has focused on revising the default Kunena template. Some users of third-party templates written for older versions of Kunena will find that their templates may not work with this latest release because changes were necessary in order to fit with the new J! 1.6 CMS.
We continue to put a big emphasis on usability and ease of installation. 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. While all care has been taken to make the upgrade process run smoothly there will be unavoidable issues that may arise because of the way that some people may have individually customised Kunena to their own unique needs.
There are still a few outstanding matters that have prevented K 1.6 meeting all our expectations to take full advantage of all the features of J! 1.6. As with other Joomla extensions, the Kunena project is not alone in this situation. During our extensive testing of K 1.6.4 the project team has discovered several issues with the Joomla 1.6 core and these have been reported to the Joomla development team. Rather than wait for Joomla 1.7 to be released (expected some time in July this year) we decided that it is better now to release a version of Kunena that handles most of what Joomla 1.6 is capable of providing. There is still further work needed to complete this task and we're continuing to work with Joomla developers to resolve those outstanding matters. If you are in any doubt about whether J! 1.6 is right for you, you should test K 1.6.4 on J! 1.6.3. to form your own opinion of whether J! 1.6 is best for your needs or whether you should use something else.
At the same time as this release of K 1.6.4 we also announce the availability of add-on extensions for Kunena. These updated add-ons (together with the updated K 1.6.4 component) are available on the Download page.

I've asked this a couple of times, maybe it got missed.
I'm waiting patiently for the 'Discussions in Jomsocial groups are now saved and synched in Kunena thanks to a specific plugin' as listed in the K1.6.3 release notes ( www.kunena.org/blog/developer-blog/78-kunena-163-released ).
Is that available or going to be released?
Thanks

There is a simple extension directory for Kunena you can find here: www.kunena.org/ked
Hope this helps!

You are using the latest version of Kunena 1.6.3
We have staggered the release this time. The upgrade server is now also on 1.6.4 and all your backends should reflect that. Hope this helps!
I'm new over here.
I just want to ask is this version ok Nunena (Kunena 1.6.4), if it don't have support to portuguese Brazilian, because when i donwload it it says that have it but after instalation i don't see where to change it and on instalation don't let me choose the language. I'm using Joomla 1.5.23.
Any ideas, any help?
Many thanks!
I've noticed how different the Kunena / Joomla template "integration" works in K1.6.4...it far less aggressive or ambitious as before...
But there are much more options available in template configuration now...

Kunena 1.6.3 Released!
- Details
Introduction
The Kunena Team is excited to announce the release of Kunena 1.6.3. This is a maintenance & security release for Kunena 1.6 but its main goal is to provide a native support for Joomla! 1.6 and all users are recommended to upgrade to Kunena 1.6.3 (backup and testing are strongly recommended!).
All users of prior Kunena releases are urged to upgrade as soon as possible.
Since the stable release of Kunena 1.6, the Kunena team has been focused on fixing over 100 bugs; including fixing issues with CSS, router, API, HTML validation, issues with Joomla! 1.6 and usability. Official Kunena modules and plug-ins have been updated as well as language translations.
Kunena 1.6 marks a major milestone for the Kunena Project. A long list of open source contributors have committed over 3,000 changes helping make Kunena the leading forum solution for both Joomla 1.5 and 1.6. A long list of new features, 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. 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 backward 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 support 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 was considering switching over to Kunena from phpBB, but I wouldn't like to have to upgrade as soon as I set it up and started to get the hang of it.

Problem solved!
My hosts reently moved my site to a new server and failed to ensure that all the settings and software were transferred as well. Through searching I came across a reference to 'DOMDocument' and asked my hosts to activate it.
They installed php-xml on my server and installation proceeded normally, however no Domdocument appears in phpinfo, but at least it works now.

Kunena Turns 2!
- Details
Its an exciting week here in the Kunena community and especially for me, Oliver (aka fxstein). Two years ago, we published Kunena for the very first time. We recognize two important dates: January 27, 2009, when we uploaded Kunena 1.0.7 to this website, and February 2, 2009, when Kunena was first published on the Joomla Extension Directory. In the days that followed, the site went from no traffic to bustling with excitement. Matias and I were caught by surprise since we did not think Kunena would catch on so quickly. We had no idea that what was about to come would overshadow anything that had come before.
In 2007, I discovered Fireboard (the predecessor of Kunena) and used it for a while on my personal website, which included doing my fair share of private bug fixes. When it became clear that keeping my own fixes was not so easy when each new release came out, I had no choice but to join their development team in 2008 and started cranking away on bugs — literally hundreds of them. For a couple of months, I fixed and improved a lot of things. The prior development team was no longer engaged in the project and help from other community members was initially rather slow. So for six months, I did bug fixes and nobody released anything. Eventually, it became pretty clear to me that the Fireboard project was beyond salvageable and the prior leadership team ultimately turned off the forums on their site. It was a turning point and a few weeks later, we decided to open Kunena.com and release a long awaited bug fix release labeled Kunena 1.0.7.

Just one suggestion for an implementation, if not already arrived to your table: Groups management and implementation with CB or JoomSocial and nicknames colors (like forumcommunity or forumfree) !
Thanks a Congrats again !
One question, if you are able to answer this. What is the long-term goal with kunena? Where exactly do you want to end up? Will it ever be possible to have a forum that functions in the same way as other forum such as invasion board etc?
Thanks again
