Question K 1.6 needs CB 1.2.3

Kunena 1.6 does not work with Community Builder 1.2.1.

For users of Community Builder: you must upgrade to CB 1.2.3 before you can use Kunena 1.6.x.

Depending on the number of CB plugins that you have (and any customised changes you've made to Community Builder files) this may be a non-trivial exercise and it may take a couple of hours to complete the task. There are no ifs, no buts and no other workarounds offered or necessary. If you want the Kunena 1.6 upgrade to succeed, you will need to upgrade Community Builder ... or remove it.

Why is this important info NOT given in your release announcement?

BTW CB 123 is not 'free'

CB 1.2.3 is free. You just need to login into joomlapolis to get it.

Whether any product is free or not is off-topic here. We have written topics like these in other categories for users needing help to integrate those products with Kunena. I agree that some information, like what was written in the first posting in this thread, is probably important enough to get into the release notes. I don't write the release notes. I was trying to be helpful, to get some information quickly to users who might be affected (or who might be wondering if they'll be affected), about recent changes to Kunena.

Not everyone reads these sticky topics. Just as not everyone uses these third-party products, either, not everyone reads the release notes.

Hey,

I discovered this about integrating CB with K1.6:
Well, first you have to have CB1.2.3... as mentioned in many different posts.

Here's the thing, and this is what worked for me: You need to upgrade K1.6 completely FIRST, then update CB. If you do it the opposite, for some reason it wont integrate. CB recognizes K1.6 regardless, but Kunena won't recognize CB unless done this way.

This is what worked for me. Your situation may be different... but I run three different sites and this method is exactly what it took on all three.

Hopefully this helps others.
