Loved Own Kunena Login

Hi all,

the most asked question by Kunena users is a problem to Login into Kunena and need to use Joomla Login, always with redirection to home page of the site.

Well, now you don't need to install any more another login module to alteration, your user don't need to do Login into Kunena using Joomla login. With this patch your users stay always on the same page where want to post.

With this patch you have login module integrated in Kunena and you have another page for login whenever you want to login.

This patch is for default_ex template. If you want apply this patch to another template you must install this patch manually like is described in piont 2 of installation.

This is not a Module, all is integrated into Kunena!

Installation

BACKUP YOUR KUNENA

1. If you use original Kunena without any change to file or hack, just unzip the file on your PC and via FTP upload folders to your Joomla root and overwrite existing file.

2. If you have some hack or modification in the file of your forum then apply manually the change to changed file you find inside patch. When you open the file just do the search for "@quila" in the file.

If you use another language then english there is a some line to translate on the beginning of the kunena.english.php file.

the changed files is:
administrator / components / com_kunena / language / kunena.english.php
components / com_kunena / template / default_ex / kunena.forum.css
components / com_kunena / template / default_ex / showcat.php
components / com_kunena / template / default_ex / view.php
components / com_kunena / template / default / post.php
components / com_kunena / template / default / plugin / profilebox / profilebox.php

then there is a new files:
components / com_kunena / lib / kunena.login.php
components / com_kunena / template / default / plugin / login / login.php

If you don't use english language you need to insert this to your language file located in the same place and translate the line in your langage.

How this patch work?

This is great work, @quila, and I sincerely hope that your login patch finds its way into the next official release of Kunena. This solution has been a long time in coming. Excellent!

Thank you Sozzled,

it was discussed and probably will be, but I don't know, for next release or later.

Hello, I installed the new login patch and it works perfectly.

I did notice though IE 8 is giving me the following message in the lower left corner of the browser when I click on my forum link. When I login though, the ! message goes away and all is good. Is there a way to make the ! error message go away without having to login?

(When I click on the ! mark, below is the message I receive)

Hi pete,

thank you.

Now the patch is updated in the first post.

Everything is working great for me except for the links below login.

Seems they are redirecting the php tag instead.

The links work fine, i'm just trying to change the link names.

Image is attached

any help is much appreciated .

Hi ppeluse,

this is a language problem.

Be sure to upload a kunena.english.php to folder

administrator / components / com_kunena / language

and overwrite existing file.

If you don't use english language you need to insert this to your language file located in the same place and translate the line in your langage.

Hope this helps

Regards
