Question K 1.6 / J! 1.6 - Admin Menu Missing

Running a wamp server on xp machine.

J 1.6a .. clean install
K 1.6a .. clean install

Installation seems OK except I get this error :
JLIB_INSTALLER_ABORT_COMP_BUILDADMINMENUS_FAILED

There are no menu's in the admin panel.

I can still access the K 1.6 CP witha direct link:
mysite\index.php?option=com_kunena

Any ideas or a genuine bug ?

please test with J1.5.18 stable and not J1.6 alpha

Yep .. did that and worked fine except I get a new error when trying to access the default post

"An invalid post ID was requested."

More Info :
00 - JDatabaseMySQL::query: 1054 - Unknown column 'p.threadid' in 'on clause' SQL=SELECT a.*, b.*, p.id AS poll_id, modified.name AS modified_name, modified.username AS modified_username FROM jos_kunena_messages AS a LEFT JOIN jos_kunena_messages_text AS b ON a.id=b.mesid LEFT JOIN jos_users AS modified ON a.modified_by = modified.id LEFT JOIN jos_kunena_polls AS p ON a.id=p.threadid WHERE a.id='104' AND a.hold IN (0,1,2)

restore ur DB from backup and try again and the step you did would be help in trouble shooting the more information you give us the easuer the job.

Joomla 1.6 fails to generate admin menus -- I do not know why. I've already got answer from Joomla team that aliases feature may be the reason, so I hope to see the fix soon. This error gets triggered *before* Joomla runs any code from Kunena.

Even if Joomla 1.6 compatibility is in lower priority right now (their installer is slightly broken), I would like to see test results from J1.6, too. There are some other issues as well, but you should be able to use it.

For testing please use Joomla! 1.6 Beta1, because the alpha is very very outdated and there will be very soon a beta2, i hope this version fixe some issues.

Do you have upgraded from a k1.5 version which have the poll hack ?

I had tested the J1.6 Beta2, but the issue with admin menu isn't yet fixed .

Hi, I also ran into this issue, so I took a closer look at it...

First, installing 1.6.0-ALPHA gave me this error : The installation control 'kunena.xml' file in the zipfile specifies the same
file for both 'install' and 'uninstall'.. :

which causes that same file to get interpreted twice.. This 'install.kunena.php'
file contains the Com_KunenaInstallerScript class definition, so that'll also
tried to get loaded twice...

A solution for this is to wrap the Com_KunenaInstallerScript class definition
into a 'class_exists' block :



OK, we're past the installation error.. Next, the module installed, but the admin
components menu does not show an entry for Kunena..

That's because the installation control 'kunena.xml' file does not contain a
'<menu>' element in the '<administration>' section... So, adding this :

to the '<administration>' section will solve that problem.
( modify kunena.xml, then rebuild the zipfile and reinstall, or install from the directory
with the modified file... )

btw. I used J1.6beta3 for this..

Hope this helps...

Pieter.
