Question Attachments appearing two times

There is no need to take that kind of tone with anyone. I appreciate the help that you've offered. Our job is to find a way to fix the problem. As I do not have any personal knowledge of these issues (I don't use Rockettheme or YOOtheme templates) I am relying on the input of other members of the community to help. My task, as I will remind you, is to facilitate the discussion and intervene when necessary. At times this means I will report the issues that the community discovers to the Kunena project team.

What we need is clarity, not this kind of insinuation that members of the moderation team or the Kunena project have a hidden agenda or are incompetent. What would help in this situation is to remain calm and level-headed and to explain the facts in a firm and polite way. I have admitted my lack of knowledge on this topic and I have sought to expand on that knowledge by seeking input from the community (both in this topic and in private discussions I have had off-line from the forum). Let's leave the character assassination out of the topic and focus on the issues. If it means that I'm a slow learner than I hope you will make some allowances for that fact. We're not all gifted with the same degree of insight as one another, are we?

I accept that the "solution" proposed by xillibit in msg #8 is not appropriate. As you say, disabling the lightbox load also disables any lightbox implemented in other template designs. By the same token, I don't think it's fair to say that Kunena should address issues outside its ability to control. If a user implements something (whether by intent or by accident) that clobbers Kunena then that's the way it is.

I will refer the matter to the developers and you can wait for their considered opinion. I hope this is a satisfactory way to resolve this issue.

Forum configuration » Frontend » Look and Feel » Enable lightbox for images = No

xillibit wrote about it in msg #8 in this topic. On the one hand, vvolf69 says that was not a solution.

vvolf69 wrote: ... that´s no solution. just saying. the problem is that kunena loads its lightbox script when another instance of the lightbox script is already running

On the other hand ...

vvolf69 wrote:

... a clean solution would be be to add a config function to the backend which allows to decide wether to load the lightbox library or not

I am therefore puzzled by this contradiction. A configuration setting already exists. Does xillibit's solution work or not? That's what we need to know to close this topic.

I did, I disable lightbox from backend option, but it's not work, did you try it?..

sozzled,

Thank you for your feedback on my site. Our legacy mode was enabled for a reason that came up a few years ago, so I went ahead and disabled this. I also just upgraded my Kunena version to 1.6.3.

However, I am still having the same issue with my images appearing twice. lol! I can't seem to figure this one out.

Here is a link that shows you this: www.guild1.com/forum/authors-support/95-strange-error-message
If you click on the "funnyerror.jpg" attachment, you will see that the image appears twice on the page.

I updated the code in the open file /components/com_kunena/template/your_template/initialize.php file - but this didn't solve this issue.

Any other suggestions?!

vvolf69,

Thank you for your suggestion to edit the /components/com_kunena/template/your_template/initialize.php file...but I don't see any difference in the code you are suggesting to replace with.

search for
CKunenaTools::addScript( KUNENA_DIRECTURL . 'js/mediaboxadvanced/js/mediaboxAdv.js' ); //

replace with
// CKunenaTools::addScript( KUNENA_DIRECTURL . 'js/mediaboxadvanced/js/mediaboxAdv.js' ); //

Am I missing something? Any help on how to resolve this issue is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I understand the problem, Andrea, and I also understand the solution. Basically, what vvolf69 is suggesting (and this is confirmed by the developers, too, as a viable way to overcome the problem caused by some RT templates, is remove the line in your Kunena template's installation.php (or "comment it out" by using the double-slash characters).

Ahh, I see!! I commented this code out and it worked perfect!! Only one image appears now for an attachment! Yeah!!

Thank you for all of your help!
