Question After Installation and Configuration..Now What? Where is the Forum?

Hello, I installed Kunena 1.0.10 with the Joomla1.5 installer and it failed, I activated legacy and it succeeded. Next, I set up the Kunea configs and forum admin settings. At that point I figured I would be able to figure out where to create posts or at least see a forum displayed. Maybe I am missing a few steps?

For some reason I can't figure out where the forum actually displays, on what URL. I have my site set up on localhost, i.e. http://localhost/joomla15/index.php/home. Do I have to link to it, or create a forum.html?

Sorry, I'm new to Joomla and probably missing something really obvious.

Sidenote: Maybe this has something to do with it??I tried to edit the CSS file in the Kunena Template CSS Editor and this is what I saw.


Warning: fopen(D:xampphtdocsjoomla15/components/com_kunena/template/default_ex/kunena.forum.css) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in \xampp\htdocs\joomla15\administrator\components\com_kunena\admin.kunena.html.php on line 2458

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in \xampp\htdocs\joomla15\administrator\components\com_kunena\admin.kunena.html.php on line 2459

Can anyone help? Did the install not unzip in the correct directories? Where is my forum!?! :side:

Thanks!

Hello,

you need to create a new menu link, go in the joomla backend, then select menus and choose main menu, then select new, you choose now Kunena Forum, you need to type a name and when you go on the frontpage of your site your will see a link to your forum.

For the CSS editor problem look this : www.kunena.com/forum?func=view&catid=93&id=17040#17423

I copied and replaced the administrator/components/com_kunena/admin.kunena.php successfully. I checked the main menu for any "add new" option and I don't see it. All I can think of is adding a link, and I don't know what the URL would be, or adding an article and that doesn't have anything to do with teh forum. Thanks!

You're making it harder than it is. Menus>Main Menu>New (icon top right)>Click on Kunena in the tree. The rest should be self-explanatory.

Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the Joomla help pages.
help.joomla.org/
help.joomla.org/content/view/1455/197/

Perhaps I am missing something? This is what it looks like in the Main Menu. I really don't see any "new" option. Thanks for putting up with me

Follow the instructions carefully. That is the control panel. Not the main menu. Look at the top left. Did you read any of the help documents at the links I provided?
