Ping?

The missing encoding declaration impacts both K1.6 and K2.0 as well.

Yep, editing only manifest.xml is not enough (at least not after the build is done.)

For a long term solution maybe adding

Code:
encoding="utf-8"

to the /trunk/1.5/administrator/components/com_kunena/install/kunena.install.upgrade.xml template would be best?

Yes, this a good solution

Just saw another user running into this problem.

It's been weeks, and no commits to 1.5, 1.6 nor 2.0 in SVN, and no comments to the bug report on Forge.

Is there a problem with this patch being applied?

I understand resources are limited and devs are busy, but this is how things get forgotten and fall through the cracks. :(

The issue isn't in /trunk/1.5/administrator/components/com_kunena/install/kunena.install.upgrade.xml but in \administrator\components\com_kunena\manifest.xml and this file has already encoding="utf-8"

I beg to differ.

As mentioned in the earlier post in this thread, changes to manifest.xml alone were not enough, because the install package build script creates kunena.install.upgrade.xml using the checked in template the same way it does manifest.xml. If I understand correctly from kunena.build.xml:
Code:
<filter token="kunenaversionname" value="${xml.versionname}" /> <copy file="${project_dir}/administrator/components/com_kunena/manifest.xml" todir="${tmp_dir}" overwrite="true" filtering="true" /> <copy file="${project_dir}/administrator/components/com_kunena/install/kunena.install.upgrade.xml" todir="${tmp_dir}/install" overwrite="true" filtering="true" />


This why the problematic unicode character in ${xml.versionname} appeared ok in manifest.xml and not in kunena.install.upgrade.xml

Because the template kunena.install.upgrade.xml has no encoding it presumably gets processed as latin-1 and that's where the problem comes from (it didn't hit before because there were no unicode characters used in version names). There is potential this will hit again in all versions: 1.5, 1.6, and 2.0.

Thanks you guys for putting these tips in here but it really would help to have the install fixed.

I already learned I can't use 1.6 without solving some template issues so I need to stay with 1.5 for the immediate term. It's cruddy for us all to have 1.5.14 not install either.

G'day, dfirsching, and welcome to Kunena.

I sympathise with the problems that some people have in moving to K 1.6 however I have to say that those problems are never going to disappear if people remain with K 1.5 either. There is really only one solution for people who continue to use the excuse "I can't use 1.6 without solving some template issues". The answer is to solve those "template issues" or whatever other issues that people might have that prevent using K 1.6.

K 1.5 exists only as a temporary mechanism to allow people to run a web based forum while they sort out their other site problems (in much the same way as Joomla 1.5 provides "legacy mode" to ease people's problems when they continue to use J! 1.0 software). At some future time K 1.5 will cease to exist as a supported product and users will have to resolve for themselves any issues they might encounter (in exactly the same way as people have had to resolve J! 1.0 extension issues in J! 1.5 or J! 1.5 issues if they want to move to J! 1.6).

We understand that there are problems with the K 1.5.14 installation procedure; this is unfortunate. It's also unfortunate that K 1.5.15 has not yet been made public, too, however I have no control over the version release process.

My advice is for you (and anyone else in your situation) to progress the upgrade to K 1.6.3 anyway. :)

This is an FYI: The comments above for changing "Comunità" to "Comunita" are true, but there are a few places this has to be changed. Here is a list of files that you should look for at:

I ran grep from the top of the extracted archive:

[email protected] [~/dloads/com_kunenav1.5.14]# grep -rin comunit *
CHANGELOG.php:37:^ [#24700] Update version info to 1.5.14 (comunit�)
install/kunena.install.upgrade.xml:3: <install version="1.5.14" versiondate="2011-01-31" build="1907" versionname="Comunit� (Italian for: Community)">
install/kunena.install.upgrade.xml:348: <version version="1.5.14" versiondate="2011-01-31" build="1907" versionname="Comunita (Italian for: Community)">
lib/kunena.defines.php:17:define ('KUNENA_VERSION_NAME', 'Comunit� (Italian for: Community)');
manifest.xml:5: <versionname>Comunit� (Italian for: Community)</versionname>


The little question-mark icon is the problem and should be replaced with 'a'.
If you open the file up in a plain text editor (in my case, Vim), you will see it displayed as:
Comunit<88>

Anyway, that's what worked for me in upgrading from 1.5.11 to 1.5.14.

Hope that helps someone.
