Question Cant get into Forum Configuration

There is a general issue of not being able to access the Kunena backend - the Forum Configuration - that we need to address. I'm not saying that the problem is necessarily something that needs to be fixed by the Kunena project team but I am trying to simplify the complexity of the problem.

If people look at the K 1.6 Technical Requirements they will see that they need certain things to run Kunena but there is no mention in that article about Joomla extensions. The reason that there is no mention of Joomla extensions is because people do not need to have any Joomla extensions in order to run Kunena.

If people look at the Kunena 1.6.5 release notes they will see general comments about Joomla extensions. In other words, if people want to integrate K 1.6.5 with Community Builder (for example) then they need to have, as a minimum, CB 1.4. But the release notes do not mention the technical requirements of specific versions of Community Builder or any other Joomla extension. That's not the concern of the Kunena project. That's your concern.

The basic problem is this: if a Joomla extension is capable of being integrated with Kunena (whether or not the extension is integrated or not) but that extension is not supported on the version of Joomla that is installed, then Kunena will not work until that unsupported extension is uninstalled. I'm not saying this is what has happened in the cases reported in this topic but I am saying that, if people cannot access the Forum Configuration feature in the backend there may be other extensions installed that are affecting Kunena.
