Solved K 1.7: user-written forum "rules" and "help" menu items

You know, this is really no help at all -- all it says on that page is "To be written" for both the rules and the help page -- so there is no instruction given anywhere, for how to do it? I have tabs on the Kunena menu, but when you click them, they're both blank. So how do you get stuff on them?

Hi Andria,
Here we go.

1) Write your Help Page and Rules Page via your Joomla Article Manager. Remember the Article ID for each.

2) Enter Admin/Menu's/Kunena Menu's

3) Click "New" Button, to create new menu item.

4) Select "Menu Item Type" & Kunena Forum's "Custom Content"

5) Fill in necessary details

6) In Content Text Area field on the right hand side enter
7) Publish and Save

I believe Kunena comes with one of the menu's already setup...except it is not pointing to an article, but instead has simple non-formatted text.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Hmm. When I try to do as you described, I find that there is no Kunena "Custom Content" -- what I see for choices are the following: Entry Page, Help Page, Recent Topics, Category Index, New Topic, Profile, Rules Page, Search, Category. If I select either "Help Page" or "rules Page", it then shows, over on the right, the top of the accordion is entitled "Required Settings" -- but there is nothing in the box associated with it -- no entry blanks at all, nothing; it does this no matter what admin template I use -- VTEM, AdminPraise, or BlueStork. There is no place at all to enter the .

So, now what?

Ok, I see the problem -- I thought I was using a version of Kunena post-2.0 -- but it turns out that it's version 1.7.something, so I found the instructions for the pre-2.0 versions -- sorry for the confusion! :silly:

Thanks!

(BTW -- you share a b-day with my son, though his is 1988 -- so I can deduce that you are clever, funny, and kind -- your reply certainly demonstrates the latter!)
