Question How can I add an specific ID item # into a Kunena link?

It's not just that I've been awake since 3:00 am this morning; I have not been able to understand what this topic has been about for the two weeks that this discussion has been running. @quila's question was asked in the second or third message in this thread.

Yup, I know hot it is. I get the same issue waking up in the middle of the night. Well, let's do that. Once you're too much tired to think today and you need to give a break to your brain, otherwise you're going to sleep tense. Go get your rest, and tomorrow, I said tomorrrrrroooooow! :0) read again the threads #17 and #19 . Withe these explanations with a fresh mind, I have no doubt that you will get to understand. ;0)

I really need to see a demonstration of the issue and how it affects Kunena.

It's mid-winter here in Australia (the temperature was -4 deg. C this morning) so I can't blame my confusion on the weather.

iLucato says that this has something to do with user profiles. RCheesley says it has something to do with Kunena categories. I'm lost.

For who may interest, I got to hack a way to use your wished '&Itemid=xx' when you click on user name. So you get to apply your wished menu layout.

Here is how to procedure:

Find your file kunena.link.class.php into the folder components/com_kunena/lib and at the 216 change FROM CODE:
TO CODE:
Where xx is your wished ID based on your top menu ItemID (Manage Menu).

I would like to separate K1.5 and K1.6 issues from each other. They work in very different way.

In Kunena 1.6 creating this feature is more than possible, and actually it's quite easy once you get how it works. Kunena 1.6 automatically assigns the right Itemid and there's no need to hack it -- if menus have been created in the right way.

In Kunena 1.5 this kind of functionality is not supported (even if you can build something like it by using external links). There's no guarantee that it will work in the next bugfix release, either.

Well, I got 1.6 and with integration with AUP, it didn't show ItemID for me. Would explain how to achieve that than? I mean when click on a username I get to have in this URL the &Itemid in it. As you can read some threads behind, I mentioned that it isn't shown in the Kunena username link.

I'm still a little lost with this discussion but I'm starting to see why. There are two entirely different topics occurring here.

(1) Something to do with when you click the username profile link in K 1.6. I don't know what that "something" is, or how iLucato wants to leverage it, but ... it's something all right! :laugh:

(2) Something to do with the category administration in K 1.5. Again, I don't quite understand what this "something" is, or what RCheesley has in mind for it, but it's a different something to whatever iLucato wants to do.

So, perhaps if we can understand why people need to know the answer to the very broad question "How can I add a specific 'itemID' (???) into a Kunena link" maybe we'll be that little bit closer to finding the answer? :dry: I'm still trying to understand what itemID everyone else seems to be talking about. It seems to me that there are a couple of different itemIDs.
