Question K 1.6.4 questions about Karma

You need to update your own template to get some of the new features (if it contains php files). What is shown and what is not is mainly controlled inside of your template. If we add a new feature, it doesn't usually work unless you add the same new code into your custom template (if you're not using unmodified default template).

BTW: you're missing kunena menu at the top..

You can disable karma feature from the administration. Again it may or may not work, depending on your template.

BTW: why you're posting new topics into archive where nobody is usually looking (solved issues)?!?

Karma stands for "Kunena's Anachronistic Rewards Management Accessory" and we not use karma at this website, www.kunena.org .

Just to inform you, I've downloaded the K 1.6.4 file from Kunena.org, (com_kunena_v1.6.4_b4832_2011-05-07.zip) and had set the default template as the Blue Eagle (default) from Template Manager and the Karma issue mentioned here remains. So, in the back-end, even disabling the karma feature from the administration and using the default blue eagle template, it keeps always showing the Karma. I'm not getting to make it hidden. Btw, my own template just uses the CSS folder and loginbox folder what I've changed its register link position, but it is from the latest version. ;0)

- I'm not sure if I got what you meant, but it was intentional the way I want the lay-out. I mean, I don't want the tabs on the top, so, all kunena menus are on the top menu as menu item instead of using them as tabs. I'm not sure if it was what you meant, the kunena tabs on the top.

BTW: why you're posting new topics into archive where nobody is usually looking (solved issues)?!?

Ops, my fault, I didn't notice that. I thought it was for Support area of K 1.6+, and not for storing old solved stuffs. I'm sorry about that.

Thanks for the info sozzled. I'm trying not to use too, but I don't get to make it disappears. :0)

For those that can be facing the same issue, a forced workaround I found out to make it disappears is by placing a comment "<!--" and "-->" on the file profile.horizontal.php near the line 70 or profile.vertical.php near the line 60 depending on the layout you're using.

It doesn't matter if I set as YES/NO it always display the Karma.

Any idea if it is only with me or it is really an issue in the upgrade?

The cause of the problem is the Kunena template. Putting it bluntly, the problem was actually caused by you.

Hacking the code is unnecessary if people are using the unmodified K 1.6.4 Blue Eagle template. The display of karma is only part-controlled by the forum configuration options; the ultimate control is exercised by the Kunena template. Some templates honour the forum configuration options and some don't. We recommend that people use a Kunena template that respects the forum configuration options.
