Question [Merged topic]The great Mootools/Javascript conflict discussion

I think problem in template of third-party

I have always used 3rd party templates and those wasn't the root of my troubles. Bees and milky suffered the same errors. For me it was plugins that doesn't support mootools 1.2.

There appears some tools when creating a topic or message.

See here a picture to see better my problem:





Because that does not appear?

Thanks, sp3ll. We're well acquainted with the missing BBcode toolbar problem as you will see from this discussion that I merged your message into.

The problem lies in something on your website that is interfering with the Mootools Javascript library.

Javascript conflicts are going to come from one of five possible sources (in descending order of likelihood)

(1) a module
(2) a plugin
(3) a template
(4) a language
(5) a component

Because Kunena is the only component loaded on your web page we can safely eliminate that one.

What you need to do is to find out whether it is a module or plugin or template that's causing your problem. To do this you need to, one-by-one, disable all modules and plugins (except the System - Mtupgrade plugin) to see if this fixes the problem. If it doesn't then you need to look at the template.

But, perhaps we can save you some trouble. What site template are you using?

Hi everyone

I am using the template Yoo Explorer and i just upgraded my Kunena to 1.6
IT looks beautiful and i simply must have this forum, however I have the same conflicting mootool issue where the bbcode does not display or the menu tabs :dry:

Please help, I really do not want to lose my template as it is part of my branding
I love love love the new Kunena Forum and do not want to downgrade neither

I will appreciate all the help I can get :kiss:

It's sad that I will have to wait for my extension's creators to update to mootools 1.2 before I upgrade from kunena 1.5 to kunena 1.6

If I would want to make a site based only on forum, I better choose phpBB, what I want from kunena is to be a forum solution to be integrated with my whole site, not to run as standalone.

I believe a solution to this problem could be to activate the mootools 1.2 only on my forum section, and not the whole site. But with the standard plugin of MTupgrade from Joomla, I don't know how to do this.


So sad... I can't find a good forum component for joomla 1.5, because all of them causes troubles. The best I've found is kunena 1.5, but 1.6 is a forum component that seems that will work better with joomla 1.6 when it arrives later this year (or next year, I dunno).
