Question Few fast questions

I'm using kunena 1.5.11 and default_ex template however I have change it alot.

I have a question about horisontal graphical post numbers (graph.gif, col9m.png).
I don't want it to be display but i want post numbers to be showed.
So I edit message.php to not show it (joomla\components\com_kunena\template\default_ex\ - around line 250) but then number of posts won't show either.

<!--
<?php
if (isset($myGraph)) {
$myGraph->BarGraphHoriz();
}
?>



<?php
if (isset($myGraphAUP)) {
$myGraphAUP->BarGraphHoriz();
}
?>
-->
dosen't work.


<!--
<?php
if (isset($msg_posts)) {
echo $msg_posts;
}
?>
-->

dosen't work too. Post are showed. Nothing happened. It's strange.

Arround 350:

<?php
if (isset($msg_birthdate)) {
echo $msg_birthdate;
}
}
?>

This ->}<- - it's a error ?


Second question is about Super Administrator nick and post color. I want it to be diffrent then other users. How to achive that ?



Last one is about user e-mails. When somebody log in to my forum he can see all users emails ! He can just move mouse on the nick name and there is an e-mail showed in the browser. I want the nick name to be link to the profile, just like click on the avatar do.

Hello,

1°) Look in the file components/com_kunena/tempalte/default_ex/view.php, there is the 2°) You need to change it in many places...

1.Thx for help, but i dont know php, could you write the code with disable graphical post representation (line 650)? Then I will paste it, it would be much easier for me.

2. How many ?

How about e-mail adress ? It's the bigest problem right now. ->}<- mark is not an mistake in code, right ?

I wouldn't waste my time trying to patch K 1.5 with either of these substantial, non trivial changes to the default_ex template.

K 1.6 provides different colours for the usernames of administrators, moderators, registered users. You can achieve a different post colour if you use the colour picker. So you might be better to look at a demonstration of K 1.6.0a and wait for K 1.6 to be released as a stable version.

I believe in the KISS principle: Keep It Simple, Stupid! As you make significant changes to Kunena now you'll quickly paint yourself into a corner as far as your ability to upgrade Kunena in the future in order to fix other problems later on. The current version of Kunena (K 1.5.11) will not be the last version in the K 1.5.x series; there will be at least one more release to fix the faults we already know that exist with K 1.5.11. So, if you want to change your installation of K 1.5.11 in so many respects that may make it impossible for you to support it later on, go ahead - it's your choice - but I think you'll regret your decision.

FYI, you may be interested in further comments I wrote on the general subject of major customisations to Kunena

I choose kunena cause I heard it's best joomla forum and you can change it easily. Every change I made in kunena i can easily repeat when new version cames around - so it's not a problem for me. I can wait till 1.6 with colors. But about those e-mails, when a new user can easily get almoust every registered user e-mail on page is something i don't like and will fight to change it.

I'm just curious why simple change like
<!--
<?php
if (isset($myGraph)) {
$myGraph->BarGraphHoriz();
}
?>



<?php
if (isset($myGraphAUP)) {
$myGraphAUP->BarGraphHoriz();
}
?>
-->
dosen't work. This change also take of number of post wchit are here

<?php
if (isset($msg_posts)) {
echo $msg_posts;
}
?>

untouched by me. Anyway thx for u help.

Aaaa one idea. Some users would like to see a change in post numering. Like:

TOPIC1
POST#1
POST#2
POST#3

TOPIC2
POST#1
POST#2
POST#3

so go on. It would be nice to have a option to configure forum to work like this. Keep up your good work guys. I hope to see 1.6 stable soon.

G'day, kerios. I have to admit that I don't know how (at this particularly late hour of my night) to replace the bar chart with a number or why you want to do it. The bar chart is a simple representation of the contribution each person has made to the forum - the longer the line, the bigger the contribution. The size of the line is derived from the number of messages the user has posted. The number of messages that a user has posted is displayed. What else do you want?

The second idea, "renumbering" messages with topics, has already been developed for K 1.6.

Would you like to explain what you mean by "those e-mails, when a new user can easily get almost every registered user e-mail on page is something I don't like and will fight to change". I saw the question in your first message but, I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what is the problem. Do you see this problem here at www.kunena.com ? :S
