Color Rectangle & Thread Icons Not Working






php version: 5.2.13
mysql version: 5.1.46
Joomla version: Joomla_1.5.18
Kunena version: com_kunena_v1.5.11_stable_b1884_2010-04-04.zip
Kunena template: default_ex_black
website template: RocketTheme Refraction

This question has been asked and answered many times: the solution has been posted at the RocketTheme website .

I'd also like to strongly urge you to upgrade your version of Kunena to K 1.5.12 at the earliest possible opportunity. Thanks

Thanks I appreciate, sorry to bother

Hmm Looks like I didnt get what I was looking for on the RocketTheme website.

I tried to do whatever they said, didnt seem working.

By the way,

I changed website template to a normal default joomla template n now I can see the icons with radio buttons , that proves problem is with rocket theme

Secondly,

I changed kunena template to default_ex , this change solves the problem of color buttons.


Any tweaking or further help would be amazing.

There are a couple of ways that you can deal with the RocketTheme issues. One way is to do as you have done and not use the template. However, because you may have paid for the template, I would suggest that you report your difficulties to their forum and seek their help. They're as keen as we are to make sure that their templates work with Kunena.

In connection with the default_ex template vs. whatever-you-were-using template, we've written on this subject hundreds of times: please see There is only one endorsed and supported Kunena template ... default_ex . Basically, the problems that most Kunena users have when they use other users' template designs are that those templates require both CSS and PHP program code to work. When Kunena is upgraded often the template PHP code also needs to be updated, too. When Kunena is upgraded, the default_ex template PHP is updated as needed.

Let me put it another way: if you have a template that was designed for K 1.5.9 and you upgrade to K 1.5.12 then your template won't work properly unless you also reapply all the changes that were made to the default_ex template and merge those changes with your template. The problem is that the various template designers who have left their work here at www.kunena.com have not upgraded their software since the days of K 1.5.3 (or even earlier, in some cases) and many of those templates are virtually worthless today.

This is the problem. Because of the way K 1.5 is designed, if you want a different template then you have to keep it up-to-date with the latest version of Kunena whenever Kunena is upgraded. Of course, you can remain with whatever version of Kunena you have installed, but that also means you have to accept that your forum may have defects that you can't fix without upgrading.

Fortunately, K 1.6 mostly decouples the PHP from the CSS and you should not experience these same kinds of regression problems in future.

I hope that some of what I've written has been helpful.

Indeed it was helpful
