Question FB to Kunena makes every previous link broken!

But why dont you export the database as sql, open it, do the search and reaplace thing and be happy again?

No need, just go to mysqladmin or whatvere your host uses and run this script:
Yiu may be using the table and fields whenre text of the messages is stored

Please, backup first

This can be very simply fixed with a simple htaccess rule. It has been posted here on the forum. Maybe one of our moderators can pull up the proper thread an post a link in here. The fix is very simply and works universally.
The update of the SQL is also a valid option. I suggest we add this as a task to our developer roadmap and add it as part of the automatic upgrade. We might be able to squeeze that one in for K1.0.8 and take care of that problem for many folks out there.

I will add this to the final K1.0.8 update script. I will automatically fix all links inside the forums.
Working on it right now.

This is DONE and will be part of K1.0.8

All internal links in messages and signatures that contain com_kunena, will get automatically updated to com_kunena by the installer.

This does not solve the problem that google and other might track com_kunena links. For that am htaccess rule that performs a 301 redirect would be the logical choice and it has been posted by members.

Hope this helps!

Yep it works - Sorry that some of you posts got altered along the way (com _ fireboard is now com _ kunena).
