Hi,
I recently did a conversion from an old phpbb2 board to Joomla 1.5.23 and fireboard -> Kunena 1.7, which went quite well. Many thanks to those who came up with the procedures and utilities that make the conversion possible. However, I needed features in Joomla that were added in 1.6/1.7 so I performed the upgrade from J! 1.5.23 to 1.7 using jUpgrade, which also went fairly well with the exception of Kunena.
After the upgrade, I had to copy all of the Kunena dbs by hand, and do an extension discovery for J! 1.7 to recognize Kunena as an installed extension. Everything seems to be in pretty good shape with two exceptions which I'm sure are related.
1) The menu items and control panel for just Kunena all appear to have the names of constants or variables instead of their values. i.e. the Kunena menu item in the J! "Components" menu list appears as "comkunena". All submenus and the control panel titles resemble the issue in item "2" below.
2) The forums are the same way with the names of variables or constants showing up instead of their values. i.e. the announcement link shows as a link named "COM_KUNENA_ANN_ANNOUNCEMENTS" and this is the way all of them appear, not just this one object.
As a developer, my gut is telling me that a profile or library isn't getting sourced properly, but I'm not certain. I have less than 48 hours of experience with J! and Kunena so this might be something really simple or obvious. I also haven't slept much in the last 2 days so please forgive me if I've missed this documented somewhere.
I appreciate any help this community can offer.
Peter
