Important Mootools plugin issue after Joomla upgrade

If you are having issues with mootools (e.g. bbcode editor toolbar is missing) AFTER you upgraded your existing Joomla install from pre 1.5.19 to that or any newer install, it is most likely due to an incomplete joomla upgrade.

When you upgrade your joomla version via any of the supported file upgrade steps:

docs.joomla.org/Upgrading_1.5_from_an_existing_1.5x_version

You also have to make sure you logout your admin user and login again. Only then will Joomla perform additional upgrade steps like the installation of the mtupgrade plugin needed for the mootools 1.2.4 support that Kunena 1.6 requires.

So if you are on Joomla 1.5.19 or newer and don't see "System - Mootools Upgrade" it is due to the fact that no new admin login has been performed since.

Do not install this plugin from any other sources, but make sure you log out your admin user and log back in. After that you should be able to find the "System - Mootools Upgrade" plugin inside your plugin manager. Make sure it is enabled.

I just ran into this very same issue on one of my sites and I was finally able to reproduce some of these reported mootools issues caused by this missing upgrade step. Unfortunately the Joomla install descriptions do not list this as a necessary step.

Hope this helps!

FYI: Rocketheme's Versatility III template will work perfectly fine with the new mootools upgrade. :woohoo:

Hi

I have tried everything I can find to solve this issue without success.

Everything seems to work as expected except that users cannot edit their profiles.

This is what I have tried so far:

Turned off all modules
Turned off all components
Turned off all plugins (except new MooTools Upgrade plugin)
Changed the template to standard Joomla install

Any ideas what could be causing this?

I'm running latest Joomla 1.5.20
Kunena 1.6 R2

Thanks in advance for any help.

G'day, Mindvision, and welcome to Kunena.
