Sticky If you are having problems with Kunena, please read this first

The problem is caused by Joomla's Mootools Javascript being clobbered. For example, you might have your own custom version of one of the Mootools .js files (see ../plugins/system/mtupgrade folder); that's one possibility. It's not a PHP thing; it's Javascript.

Sorry for being so unpresice. Indeed, my main menu uses java script.

But I have now tried what happens when I switch it of (by out-commenting). The piece of code concerned sits at the very top of my template. See:

<!-- <?pi-eidzh-pi
JHTML::_( 'behavior.mootools' );

$menu_colors = $this->params->get("menuColors", "blue,orange,blue2,orange2,green,red,violet");
$menu_type = $this->params->get("menuType", "splitmenu");

require(YOURBASEPATH . DS . "styleloader.php");
$mainframe->set('mcolors', explode(',',$menu_colors));
$mainframe->set('default_color', $default_color);

?> -->

Interestingly, there is no change in the faulty behaviour in Firefox etc. The problems persist.

So, next thing I will do is check all installed components more thorroughly for mootools.

Possible sources of java script interference:
- Component "Linkr"
- Component "Joomfish"
- Component "Joomla Flash Uploader"
- Component "JCE Administration"
- Component "Acymailing"
- Plugins: Many from Acymailing
- Plugin: Content-Linkr
- Plugin: JoomlaFlashUploader
- Plugin: Editor JCE 1.5.7.4.
- Plugin: Editor Button "Linkr"




Question: Would those components have, in one sub-folder, their own mootools.js, and I can just delete this, or what should I do?

Thank you,
Kind regards,

That's a good question. Again, we have to return to the standard answer that is given in msg #1 of this topic. In effect, many Joomla extensions load their own Javascript libraries. These Javascript libraries may peacefully co-exist with Joomla's Mootools library or they may rip the guts out of Joomla's Mootools library and only you can really decide which is more important to you: the extensions that you're using that don't co-operate with standard Joomla or Kunena (which was designed to work with standard Joomla). Those really are the choices.

A simple way to find out which Javascript library is clobbering Joomla is, for each additional library installed by the extensions you are using, rename the file .js to .js-old. Eventually you will find the .js file that's causing the problem.

For your information, Kunena needs the following three Javascript libraries as a minimum (so, don't rename these files):
../components/com_kunena/js/mediaboxadvanced/js/mediaboxAdv.js
../components/com_kunena/template/default/js/default-min.js
../plugins/system/mtupgrade/mootools.js

BTW, did you actually eliminate all legacy software from your site and therefore can you disable the System - Legacy plugin now?

Just keeping you posted... it's not the Modulus Template from RocketThemes as the profile isn't editable in any of the other templates either. Back to looking at plugins and modules (disabling them individually to see if I can locate it)

Disabled EVERY plugin and EVERY module that came with the template, and still no functions in the profile box.

Well, figure this one out. After disabling everything, re-enabling everything (including the rockettheme template) the profile functions are all working fine now. I have no idea what it was but have no intentions of messing with it.

Sorry to be a pain, wish I had the answer, and my appreciation for your patience and support!

I'm using Kunena 1.6.4 on Joomla 1.5.23 and am experiencing problems with text formatting. Text that are formatted in bold appear just fine (in bold) when saved first time. However, when I go back to the post and save it again, the text format disappears and the <b></b> or <strong></strong> tags appear. Sometimes, it happens to list format as well.

What can I do to prevent this from happening? Thank you for your help.
