Merged [Merged topic] How do I restore my Kunena menu?

Excuse me for my poor english (i'm french)

I installed Kunena 1.6 beta 1 over 1.5.20 and everything went fine except the Kunena horizontal menu in the top of the forum : it doesn't appears.

In backend in Kunena control panel I clicked "Create menu" and I got an error (sorry, in french...) :
- Kunena Erreur interne: Veuillez activer le mode debug et signalez ce problème dans le forum Kunena www.kunena.com . (my translation : Kunena internal error : please activate debug mode...)
Followed by :
- Le menu de navigation Kunena et le lien principal forum ont été créés (my translation : Kunena navigation menu and main link have been created)

After these messages, nothing appears. No menu !

Do you have an idea ? :huh:

Have you checked from Joomla Menu if Kunena Menu was created?
Joomla > Menus > Kunena Menu

Click on Kunena Menu and check if the sub-menus are created and published. ;0)

This is a real problem! I had to go through the menu re-creation procedure again, myself, only a couple of hours ago.

See Links don't work for another user's experience.

I found that I had to go through the menu creation procedure twice! That is, trash and delete Kunena menus, create menu, then trash and delete them again and create menu again. Takes a few minutes and it's a pain in the neck ... perseverance and patience. Will eventually be fixed.

Thanks for reporting the issue.

I have checked : I have N-O-T-H-I-N-G !
Kunena Menu has not been created in Joomla > Menus > Kunena Menu

Edit : Thank you too, sozzled for your answer, I'm reading the topic...

Legacy mode?! Why are you running legacy mode? Does legacy mode interfere with the Mootools Upgrade plugin?

I'm in legacy mode, yes, because i need the legacy mode for a component.
Do you think legacy mode can interfere with something ?

What is the Mootools upgrade plugin ?

So far this has worked ok for me. I like the menu creation and control.

Any Joomla plugin, even the Legacy mode one, can interfere with things - can interfere with Kunena. Please try to understand, we're trying to sift through user testing issues with Kunena 1.6 beta and this category is not for support. If you want to make things easier on yourself (and on other people) please try to use a standard natively Joomla 1.5.20 basis before you install a K 1.6 test version. We made that point here .

The Mootools Upgrade plugin is essential for the creation and operation of the Kunena menu. I don't know whether the Legacy plugin interferes with the Mootools Upgrade plugin but, if it does, you will have to disable the Legacy plugin if you want to use K 1.6. If that means that you cannot use that old J! 1.0 "component" on your website, then that's the price you may have to pay. What I'm saying is this: we're trying to help you the best way that we can with all the knowledge and understanding that we have at the moment.

This really shouldn't be an issue for you, after all, if you have decided to use K 1.6 beta on a production website (with old, outdated J! 1.0 "components") that's your choice and we'll respect it. But, as we've said repeatedly, we are not yet able to offer full "support" for a beta version because the software is changing every day.

See what I wrote yesterday about the Legacy plugin: Joomla legacy mode and Kunena

Thanks for you answer !

OK no problem, i understand what you say.

It's make a long time that I use and test all versions of Kunena.
I'm now testing this 1.6 beta "in real condition".
I have now understand what are the mootools used for.

I have desactivated the components who needs legacy mode activated, and then i turned off the legacy mode.

I have reinstalled Kunena 1.6 beta 1 and I have the same error.

I'm not (only) here for support, I'm here to understand things and to test Kunena (too), because I like this Forum. If you think that the error I have will not help you, i'll understand.
If so, please ignore my post !

...and excuse me for my poor english...

Thank you very much for your understanding. Tu ustilise l'anglais mieux que beaucoup d'autres gens.

As I've written before, this "install-Kunena-then-need-to-recreate-menu" problem is a headache. It requires perseverance and patience ... and it can be a struggle. We're working to improve things.

You cannot see the Kunena menu. You have trashed the menu, deleted the trash, used the Kunena control panel to recreate the Kunena menu - and you may have done this twice, three or even fours times - and you still cannot see the Kunena menu on your website. Quel dommage!

I will ask one of the other members of the team to suggest a workaround for your problem.
