Question Recent Discussions empty after K1.0.10 upgrade

How did you upgrade your site? Did you upgrade first CB to 1.2.1 and then second by upgrading Kunena to 1.0.10? ... I am thinking of trying out upgrading Kunena first then followed by CB ...

If it helps you by telling you my story, I'll tell you my story.

The first time I upgraded Community Builder and Kunena I upgraded Kunena first. Immediately, I started having with the Kunena forum: Javascript failed; I couldn't preview messages; when I posted messages there was no autoreturn to topic. I wasn't aware of problems on the CB side of things.

I did the upgrade this way because, at that time, Community Builder's developers were 24 hours behind Kunena's developers. After Joomlapolis announced the release of CB 1.2.1, I installed that version, worked through a couple of post-installation issues and everything was fine. In my case I had no choice.

The second time I upgraded these products, I upgraded CB first and then I upgraded Kunena. I had different issues to deal with. In this case, prior to the upgrade I was using CB 1.2 and Kunena 1.0.9 but I had not published the cbsimpleboardtab plugin. This is an important point to make: under the previous environment it wasn't essential for the cbsimpleboardtab to be published (because I wasn't using CB to display users' forum messages in their CB user profiles). After the upgrade things went horribly wrong. I couldn't use Kunena at all unless I published the cbsimpleboardtab plugin and configured it to work with Kunena!

In short, it doesn't really matter which order you install these two components. The only important matter is that you must install both components (if you are making any use of Community Builder on your website) before you will have a Kunena forum that your users can work with. I think I've said that elsewhere .
