i want make normal website with normal kunena forum 1.6 - why its dont possible?.. dont understand...

weit when fix its bug

Hi,

This is not a bug.

Kunena 1.6 requires Mootools 1.2+ which comes with Joomla 1.5.19+ and 1.6.0+

Any template that still uses Mootools 1.1.x needs to get updated to Mootools 1.2.x

Many templates already give you that option - like the example given before.

Going forward ALL Joomla templates will be based on Mootools 1.2 or a completely different js library like jquery. Both will work just fine. Any oudated templates that still use the 3+ year old Mootools 1.1 libraries will have an issue going forward.

Hope this helps!

Any template that still uses Mootools 1.1.x needs to get updated to Mootools 1.2.x

you mean, i need take new templates version at templates creators? or what? i a little dont understand...

if you say about MooTools upgrade plugin, i write in my first post

when i install Kunena 1.6, i dont see smile. ok, its not problem. i go to www.kunena.com/forum/156-kunena-16-test-...pdown-missing#52040 , download modifed mootools upgrade and setup + enabled

now i have
Joomla 1.5.20
Kunena 1.6
Different temlates from YooTheme, Roket, JoomArt, XTC, and other + MooTools Upgrade Plugin (last version @quila)

Thanks, Oliver, this explains a lot to me, too.

We've often found, in handling requests for support in this forum, that many problems have in the past been wholly attributed to the templates that users have chosen for their websites. As I have written elsewhere, if the look and feel - the theme - of your website is more important to you than having a fully-featured forum component, like Kunena, then you will need to look at other options for running your forum. If, for you, having a fully-featured Kunena forum is important, then you may have to make other choices about the site template that you want to to use.

As Joomla develops everything changes. Templates and Javascript libraries are two prime examples. It's much like when J! 1.0 stopped and J! 1.5 took over. Many of the older J! 1.0 site templates would not work with J! 1.5 without enabling "legacy" mode. This was to give J! 1.0 template designers the opportunity to update their old templates for the newer version of Joomla. "Legacy" mode was to give people a bit of breathing space.

Some template designers took advantage of this and some didn't. Those that didn't update their templates for Joomla 1.5 soon gained a bad reputation.

Therefore, getting back to the topic, the question is entirely a matter in choosing a reputable template designer for Joomla. Remember: "All that glisters is not gold". You may have chosen a template that looks great but, when you get into the nuts and bolts, it's actually more trouble than it's worth.

crazyawm: you need to write to your template supplier and ask them what plans they have to make their template Mootools 1.2-compliant.
