Merged Multiple forums on one Joomla

Did you set up your Joomla menus according to your forum structure? Create the menu item and choose Kunena Category as the view, then select the category you want to point it at.

Thanks for helping!
I managed to get a link up to the dutch forum, but I still cant get it to be shown as a main category. The subcategories are now displayed as childpages.

See: www.bonsaiempire.nl/joomlasite/forum/nl
I would like it to look like the english forum (separate installed joomla): www.bonsaiempire.com/joomlasite/forum

Hope you can help me figuring this out!

Hope anyone has some time to help me out, still couldnt figure it out :S

I'm developing a website for pet owners....I want to have a separate forum for dog owners and a separate forum for cat owners. So in the dog main menu selection there will be a drop down and a choice for dog forum and i want the people to only see dog categories. Likewise for the cat main menu item, etc.

the only way I can figure out to do this is to have multiple kunena instances. If that's not possible, is there some other way to do this?

Thanks!

It is not possible to multiply run more than one instance of a Joomla component on a Joomla website but there are certainly ways that you can have separate "forums" (for want of a better term) managed by Kunena - a Joomla component - on the same website. K 1.6 delivers the means to do that by allowing you to customise your menus so that different menus (and therefore different menu items) access different sections (or categories) of Kunena.

For an explanation of the terms sections and categories, please refer to Sections, Categories and sub-Categories (Part 1) in the Wiki.

For information about how you can customise your menu, please see Customised Menus in the Wiki.

For an example of how you can setup a separate "forum" in your website, please see fxstein's message (#4) earlier in this topic.

@Oscar2 Neither of your links work. But this is quite easy to do so I'm not sure what the problem is. Do the following:

1. Go to the Menu Item Manager for the menu you want to create links in.
2. Click New to create a new menu item.
3. Click Kunena and then Index (Category Index).
4. Give the menu item a name and choose the section/category you want on the right side.
5. Click Save.

Let me know if this works for you.
