Question Does anyone have a fix for "Ice Vertical Menu" when used with Kunena 1.7.2?

Thank you for your reply, Marcool, and I am very pleased that you took my advice to upgrade to K 1.7.2. One of the great new features of K 1.7.2 is that it allows us, as forum moderators here, to have a clearer picture about others' site configurations. In your case I can now see that you are using Kunena on a local PC-based platform - one that no-one else in the world can access in order to be of direct assistance (if that should be the case) - and so, from this time on, we're largely basing our advice from what you can tell us and what questions we think may be relevant to the case.

Putting it simply, this is a case of Support for PC-hosted websites (e.g. WAMP, XAMPP) .

I think that this is still a case of a conflict between the Javascript-driven menu and Joomla's Mootools Javascript library. I cannot tell you specifically how, or in what way, this conflict needs to be overcome. If you have suspicions that the Ice Vertical Menu is the cause of the conflict then it would seem reasonable to take the Ice Vertical Menu from the equation.

I, personally, have no knowledge about the Ice Vertical Menu. For your sake, I have changed the subject of this topic and moved the topic to another category to give others the opportunity to comment and to give you their thoughts on what they have done to fix the Ice Vertical Menu so that it works with Kunena. That's about the best I can do for you. I hope that, for your sake, someone else has an answer. Good luck

Hi Sozzled,

To answer simply... this is not a case of PC-hosted websites.
I am not running WAMP or XAMPP, I am running MAMP, which is quite different.
Maybe you should take another look at the configuration dump, or that you reconfigure the configuration dump generator as it should definitely not be telling you that I am on a PC based platform...
I am using a local machine to edit a site that is soon to go live, and the versions of Apache, MySQL and php that are installed on the server and in my MAMP are a match, I don't think it makes any difference that the site be on my machine or online at this stage, although I confess it would be a lot easier to discuss topics like this one!

Anyhow let's set that aside (although this is now in the wrong thread...) and focus on the issue :
I also think this has to be a conflict in Javascript somewhere, and as you say most probably in mootools, but I am not competent enough in using either to be able to find the cause of the error myself, without a few pointer. What use of javascript does Kunena make on the New Subject page for instance...

I will try and dig into the code a little more but I thought that it would be easyer for somebody with knowledge and experience of Kunena to point me in the right direction at least.

Thanks again for your time...

G'day, Marcool,

It's unfortunate that we really can't directly assist, to see what Javascript is being exercised at the time this problem occurs on your site, for the simple reason that your site is inaccessible. Your site is not on the internet. Firebug for Firefox may be able to help.

As you say, people may download and install the Ice Vertical Menu software and may be able to tackle the problem in that way. Someone may have already done that and may be able to help. If you were able to place your site on the internet, offer a test account, others may be able to help there.

As you say it would be a lot easier if I could take the site live right now, unfortunately I am working for somebody who already has a deal with a webhost, and the server only comes online at the begining of next month... I'm trying to get it all polished before then...

Maybe I could talk about a test server, it wouldn't do any harm to test the upload anyhow!

I'll let you know what I can do!

Thanks for the continued interrest and support. I'm onto firebug right now (although the Chrome debug console was unable to flag anything as illegal for me...)

EDIT : I tested the reply page and Lo and Behold! It works fine on that page!! Does that make any sense to you?!

Hi again!

Ok so on two fronts : first I'm working on putting a live version of the site up on a free temp host. (few hours from now hopefully)
And secondly with the help of firebug I have identified one element that seems to be problematic in the New Subject page and that page alone :

That is in
Inside the :
of the javascript actually printed out to the browser (not linked in another file)

That error is actually printed out by firebug with and without my problematic menu activated...
Does that make any sense?

Well now I'm just :blink: ...

Taking a look at the error in question, which relates to the pool part of the new-post, and after having read through the kunena.poll.class.php about 5 times, I tried changing the poll setting from OFF - which seemed to be the best way to keep it out of my way, the problem disappeared! My menu now works fine in all tabs, including the new subject one!

And polls even work... Well what do you know!
I guess this can be marked as solved, although it's not fully understood! I will still post a link to the live site once it's up (uploading right now). Maybe somebody will be able to figure this out!

Regards, and once more thanks for your patience Sozzled!
