andrewn51's problem has been resolved. In his case we needed to create a new menu module using the Module Manager and assign it to the template position kunena_menu. After that, everything worked fine. Andrew also had a small Mootools issue involving the use of Rockettheme template (this was fixed by setting Build Titles Spans = Off in the RT template panel.

If you go into an actual forum topic, the toolbar disappears. Breadcrumbs don't work either. Help? Please?

It's really easy. There are actually two possible causes of this problem:

(1) In Extensions » Module Manager, make sure that you have not disabled or changed the module position of the "Kunena Menu" module (see image below):


(2) It depends on your site template, but (using Menu Manager) look at the menu item that points to your Kunena component. You should have something like this:

It is important that the menu type = alias. The parameters of this "forum link" should be like this:

There's a bit more to this, too, and it's all covered in excrutiatingly fine detail in the Wiki article Customised menus , but those are the two key ingredients that you need to have in place. If you don't have these things set up the way I've described then you have either changed something or your site template does not offer a place where the Kunena installer program could place a menu item for Kunena.

The solution is to either try the "trash-burn-build" approach (mentioned a dozen or more times on this site) to rebuild the standard Kunena menu "buttons" or, using your own skills in constructing Joomla websites, build the menu items again, from scratch. What seems rather apparent (from the number of messages posted on this forum) is that Joomla menu item construction seems to be a highly skilled art and may be difficult to teach in a self-help forum like this.

The "trash-burn-build" approach is simple:

(1) Find all menu items that relate to your forum.
(2) Trash all menu items that relate to your forum.
(3) Delete the menu kunena-menu from your site
(4) Empty the menu trash
(5) Use the Kunena control panel option Create Menu

... and that should be all that you have to do. Looking back over the number of times I've answered this question and the amount of time I've spent grabbing and editing screen shots (and the number of screen shots that I've posted here) I hope that, in future, people will read this topic and use the information we've written here. I most sincerely hope that what I've posted on this occasion helps.

Ultimately, if all of this is too difficult for people to do for themselves, there are many people who can perform this kind of service for a small fee, or course. :)

SOLUTION.

Hey everyone, I've been going through the same problem (Kunena menu disappears when you click a category or other link)

Forget mootools and all that junk. This is the solution. We are going to create our own menu, and scrap the buggy kunena menu.

1. Edit your templates index.php & add a module BEFORE the component. (Search for adding module positions in Joomla on Google) This involves adding code like
Code:
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="newMenu" style="xhtml" />
as well as specifying
Code:
<position>newMenu</position>
in the template's xml file. Double check this if you're using Joomla 1.5.

2. Add a Custom HTML module, and position it to the new position you created above. Add this to the HTML code
Code:
<div class="forumblock"><a href="index.php/forum/index">Index</a></div> <div class="forumblock"><a href="index.php/forum/?option=com_kunena&amp;view=latest">Recent Topics</a></div> <div class="forumblock"><a href="index.php?option=com_kunena&amp;view=post&amp;do=new">New Topic</a></div> <div class="forumblock"><a href="index.php?option=com_kunena&amp;view=latest&amp;do=noreplies">No Replies</a></div> <div class="forumblock"><a href="index.php/forum/mylatest">My Topics</a></div> <div class="forumblock"><a href="index.php?option=com_kunena&amp;view=profile">Profile</a></div> <div class="forumblock"><a href="index.php/forum/rules">Rules</a></div> <div class="forumblock"><a href="index.php/forum/help">Help</a></div> <div class="forumblock"><a href="index.php/forum/search">Search</a></div>

3. Then under Menu Assignment, make sure the menu is only viewed on the Forum page. If this doesn't work, uncheck ALL and try again.

4. Now still in your backend, go to Menus -> Kunena Menu. Check all menu items except the top one, Forum, and click the green tick to uncheck them all. You should now only have your top forum link, published.

5. Style it up with some css, I used
Code:
.forumblock { padding:6px; background-color:#d0c27e; color:#625935; display:inline-block; } .forumblock a, .forumblock a:visited { text-decoration:none; color:#625935; } .forumblock:hover { color:#FFF; background-color:#ad9e5e; }

6. DONE!

I registered just to leave this comment for others experiencing the same problem with Joomla 1.6 & Kunena menus. I know how it sucks & nobody solved this to help. Hope this saves you much headaches. Good luck!
