G'day, ComposerRyan, and thank you for your question. You may not have been following
[Merged topic]The great Mootools/Javascript conflict discussion but in case this is new information to you,
Mootools 1.2.4
is a Joomla feature that is needed by Kunena 1.6.
The decision to use Mootools 1.2.4 was taken after weeks of discussion with the Joomla core development team and it was taken with the knowledge that it would cause some problems within the Kunena community - just as Mootools 1.2.4 has caused some problems within the Joomla community for users and developers alike. However, it was a strategic decision and and one that was taken after a lot of thought and preparation was put into implementing the solution.
Unfortunately, Mootools 1.2.4 is not compatible with some Joomla extensions and you have indicated a couple of examples of those. But I would like to remind you that this is a forum dedicated to addressing issues with
Kunena. If people have issues arising from the usage of Mootools 1.2.4 with
other Joomla extensions (like the two that you mentioned) then you should take up those issues with the developers of those products.
Where possible, the development of K 1.6 has tried to minimise the impact of Mootools 1.2.4 to affect only those pages that display the
Kunena forum. If you have other Joomla extensions running on your K 1.6 forum pages (that do not operate with Mootools 1.2.4) then you should remove them from the
Kunena pages (from K 1.6.1 onwards. You
can disable Mootools 1.2.4;
Kunena will attempt to enable it only for those pages that need it; you
should upgrade to K 1.6.2. All of this is discussed in the article
Mootools 1.2.4
.
I hope this helps you to better understand the issues you need to separate from one another so that you can resolve your problems.
