Question [Merged topic] Kunena Notice: Menu item /forum (Itemid=nnn) does not have Kunena Menu

Thanks, Sozzled!

Looking forward to the tutorial. I totally understand how it is having a lot on your plate. I have the same waiting for me and it's nearly impossible to keep up. I know you guys are doing the best you can.

I just flipped one of my site's forum from CCBoard to Kunena since I already have Kunena on one of my other sites... and love it! I just wish there was a simple migration mod from cc to Kunena... but I'll manage.

You guys just keep up the great work. And to everyone who's getting impatient:: Just give 'em a break. They'll fix it. They're giving us the best forum out there... for free!

Awesome job Kunena Devs!

I'm new to Kunena, so I'll try to step lightly into this world. The problem I'm having (and others in this thread) doesn't seem to be with creating the Kunena menu, that was done automatically when I upgraded and if not, all it requires is hitting the create menu icon in the Kunena backend. The issue I need help with is making the msg: Kunena Notice: No menu item assigned. Redirected to /forum (Itemid=67) go away.

Reading all the posts, documentation and dealing with install is giving me a headache.:silly: :lol: Some simple direction would be really appreciated right now.

Thanks to all.

Thanks guys. I got it running nicely now

G'day, californiasup, and welcome to Kunena.

I spent the past couple of days trying to reproduce the errors; I made a big mistake with my testing - I was using an internal development build for K 1.6.1 that seems to have the "smarts" that correct many of these problems or, at least, I don't see the message "Kunena Notice: Menu item /forum (Itemid=nnn) does not have Kunena Menu".

It was not until I downgraded to K 1.6.0 and used a template used a "troublesome" site template (JA_purity_ii is one of them) that I saw the issue for the first time. Oddly, though, in my case I had a perfectly working Kunena menu. After discussing the matter with the developers, it seems that K 1.6.1 probably fixes most of these problems! While it's still possible that users do not have a well-functioning menu, in many cases these "error messages" may be misleading; the messages say there is a problem when there isn't one.

These error messages (Kunena Notice: Menu item /forum (Itemid=nnn) does not have Kunena Menu) only appear to someone who is logged-in with an administrator's account; they don't appear for normal users.

I'm not saying that the messages aren't something to be concerned about. K 1.6.1 is actually better in describing situations that administrators need to take action. It's just that I haven't been able to reproduce the problems myself. I have tested at least 10 different templates and I haven't yet been able to find one that doesn't work. We need to establish, once and for all, which templates cause problems.

There are two offers I'd like to make

1. If you are concerned about the Joomla extensions on your website interfering with K 1.6.x, you should take steps before you install K 1.6.x to update all software to the latest versions of everything that you're now using. You should do this in a test environment. Then you should test K 1.6.x to see if there are any residual issues that you may need to address in order to establish that your software cooperates seamlessly and without impacting one on the other(s).
   • It's more than likely that there's been an update to software you're using (it could be the site template, components, modules, plugins ... even the language) and making the effort to research what you're using, downloading the latest software and replacing what you're currently using, could be a life-saver.
   • It's also possible that there are issues buried deep within your Joomla installation (the core Joomla software) that need to be looked into. If you aren't using J! 1.5.21 then you should be. Establish a clean basis before you look at Kunena problems should be your number one priority. As I mentioned earlier, I haven't been able to fault K 1.6 on a clean installation of J! 1.5.21 and I don't think other people will be able to either. Of course, I could be wrong. :laugh:
2. If anyone is prepared to give this idea a try, I can make available to people (on request by PM) access to where you can download a K 1.6.1 development version. Please note, development versions are not supported and if you use a development version you do so at your own risk. However, we would appreciate your feedback if this idea works and if it solves your current problems. K 1.6.1 fixes 30+ known problems with K 1.6.0 and it may be worth the time to give this a try ... even if it doesn't cure the problems that you've got.

I have now spent 6 hours or more, trying everything I can think of.

I thought I was making progress, but the error message just changes.

First I had this one,
Legacy menu item in /discussions (Itemid=64). Redirected to /forum (Itemid=123).

Then this,
Menu item /forum (Itemid=123) does not have Kunena Menu.
(although the kunena menu did display at the time)

Now this,
No menu item assigned. Redirected to /forum (Itemid=123).

I can't think of what else to try.

If anybody manages to fix this, please let me know.

It IS NOT fixed for 1.6.0.

You can't reproduce it? Here's one way and my only problem.

1. Log in as a Super Administrator.

2. Select a thread.

3. Soft delete it using the check box and drop box which means you need to be outside of the thread and viewing it in category view. it works the same way for restore and perm delete.

I want to try the 1.6.1 too since I have a test domain for this one.
