Question Will templates for 1.0.10 work with 1.5.3?

Hi:

Have a question regarding templates compatibility, Will templates for 1.0.10 work with 1.5.3?

TIA

I guess, this post from Matias will answer your question:

www.kunena.com/forum/111-templates-and-d...plate-designer#15118

Well, I can say it in here: none of the templates will work in K1.5, don't even brother to try.

I do have automatic upgrade script (written in Python) to make them to work, but I need to clean it up as there are some incremental (conflicting) rules in it.

If you need a template to test.... I've got one

I dont understand, so everytime kunena is updated I cant use any templates?

I am using fireboard like 1.06 or something and have been happy. I have made a second site to demo new modules and I have installed 1.5 kunena to see if i want to upgrade. Now, I understand that my fireboard template wont work but i just downloaded like 15 templates from the forum here and every single one gives an error. Some have two versions - 1.0.10 and unspecified. Neither work. WTF - how is it better to have exactly ZERO options for customization?

I cant use this, i cant convince others ot use it, and i certainly could never get my customers to want this.

Hi,

Sorry about your issue but please understand that major version changes ALWAYS require new sets of templates.

It is the very same for Joomla itself. You cannot use a Joomla 1.0 template on a Joomla 1.5 install or vice versa.

Kunena 1.5 stable was just released less than 24h ago. It will take some time for template designers to come out with templates for it. Usually the community is very quick - so I expect to see templates for it within the next few days and weeks. If you like a particular one, I suggest you contact the template designer to see if and when they plan to release a version for 1.5.3

Hope this helps!
