Hi folks, I need a little help. I'm trying to upgrade from 1.6.0 to 1.6.4, so I have tried the 3 options and didn't get.

By using the 1st option "Upload package" from computer loading the zip file I get the error message "Error when trying to move the files";

By using the 2nd way suggested here, "FTP" and pointing the directory, i tried with htpp, without, with slash at the end, and so on and I get the error message: "Please inform the package directory!". Urrrrrgh, I've informed in several ways. Do I need to point to an specific file? Example:

www.mysite.com/tmp_inst/inst_kunena164/install.kunena.php

I have tried with and without http:\\ (//):

www.mysite.com/tmp_inst/inst_kunena164/install.kunena.php
www.mysite.com/tmp_inst/inst_kunena164/install/
www.mysite.com/tmp_inst/inst_kunena164/
www.mysite.com/tmp_inst/
tmp_inst/inst_kunena164/install.kunena.php
tmp_inst/inst_kunena164/install/
tmp_inst/inst_kunena164/
tmp_inst/

How should be my directory above pointed in that input field? Any help will be appreciated!

By using the 3rd option the URL suggested in the upgrade guide - Case study 2 (pointed also by SOZZLED in another thread), I get the error message: "Failed reading network resource: Non-static method JError::raiseWarning() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context, invalid URL" which isn't invalid url if I place in a browser I get to download the file.

Nothing worked.

Thanks in advance and have a nice sunday!

Please read K 1.6 Upgrade Guide .

The important point of reading the guide is not to explain the mechanics of the upgrade procedure. As we all know, the K 1.6 upgrade procedure only takes about 2 minutes. It's easy. The point of reading the upgrade guide is to pay particular attention to the preparation that people need to do before they run the procedure. This means that you need to look at whether your website meets the technical requirements to run K 1.6.4. This means that you must review the currency of other components that you have installed and whether those other components might interfere with the upgrade or the operation of K 1.6.4. This means that you might also need to review the file security that you implemented on your site.

I have lost count of the hundred or more Kunena upgrades that I've done, on several websites, in the time since K 1.6.0 was released. By paying particular care to the way those websites were set up - it's made easier because I never change any Kunena PHP source code or CSS - I have not had a single problem doing these things. Is it it good management on my part ... or just plain luck? Maybe it's a bit of both. :lol:

We'll continue to do our best to give general guidance to assist people who want to upgrade Kunena but if people find themselves incapacitated and unable to upgrade Kunena themselves there is always the option of paying a specialist for their time and expertise to diagnose and cure their specific problems.

Thanks for your reply Sozzled.

I've checked my server and they have PHP 5.2.17, maybe that was the issue trying to upload/install once Kunena 1.6.4 requires PHP 5.2.3+ or 5.3.0+. Let's see if they will update it, and I'll post back if it worked.

Another question that I didn't find in the guide is regarding the file permissions. Can I set all Kunena folders and files as 755 or is it dangerous. How should it be set. I have noticed that I had Kunena in different sites and they are with different values in the same files. I mean, in one site a certain file is as 644 while in the the other the same file is as 755. How should be the folders and files set for the upgrade to to 1.6.4?

Thanks again.

By the way, this "PHP 5.2.3+" minimum request needed is PHP 5.2.03+ or PHP 5.2.30+? I have 5.2.17 installed.

5.2.3 means 5.2.3 not, 5.2.03 or 5.2.30 and the latest php version released in 5.2 branch is 5.2.17

Check that the following directories have the 755 chmod :

/components/
/administrator/components/
/media

If you using install by directory, you need to use the following path :

/home/user/www/joomla/tmp/kunena

I don't provide support by PM, because this can be useful for someone else.

Hi xillibit, thanks for your reply.

Yup, I had all as 755, but there is something they changed in the server that I'm not getting to move, delete and so on. Sometimes creting folders create as "nobody" or 99 99. But I got a solution to install Kunena. just to share if somebody is facing the same issue. I've changed all Joomla folders to 777 (Checked from Joomla help/system info/directories) and set also the FTP into Joomla into global settings / system.

[Edited]
Well I just got one issue/error when installing 1.6.4, it showed the following error:

* JInstaller::install: ERRORXMLSETUP
* Unable to detect manifest file
* JInstaller::install: ERRORXMLSETUP
* Unable to detect manifest file

When trying to install the portuguese-br package. Now some codes show as not translated like these:


COM_KUNENA_BULK_CHOOSE_ACTION
COM_KUNENA_BULK_CHOOSE_DESTINATION
COM_KUNENA_MODERATION_CHANGE_SUBJECT_ON_REPLIES

etc.

How to fix the portuguese-br package for 1.6.4? I don't remember wich file I would compare with winmerge. I men the english vs br.

Well, I got to solve by editing the file pt-BR.com_kunena.ini, if you want to share it with the community here is the file for yoursite\language\pt-br folder:

File Attachment:

File Name: pt-BR.com_kunena.zip
File Size:18 KB

[/Edited]

Another issue is regarding the CSS. I have my own folder as template and it is set to use it in the kunena setting. By checking the files into the kunena 1.6.4 package upgrade, I didn't see any css such as kunena.forum-min.css or kunena.forum.css to change the colors of my headers and topic texts. It was all changed back to blue and so on. I didn't get to find where it was changed once I'm using my own template set into Kunena settings. What was upgraded/changed that I can check and change again for the colors I want too.

Thanks in advance.

First, can you please send your updated/fixed translation to [email protected] ?

There are many template parameters in default template, so you may find these from the template.

If it doesn't work, you can always use FireBug (or similar) tool to find the CSS rules.

Hi Matias, thanks for your reply.

I've attached in the post above the file, but anyway, I've sent it to the e-mail you've requested.

Regarding the FireBug, it isn't showing the css file name where it is as you can check this thread:

Language files are impossible to find from the forum, so the only reliable way to get them into the release is to send email.

FireBug always shows file and line. :)

What I meant regarding the language files was that I had attached it two posts above as zip file. ;0)

Regarding Fire Bug, it shows the line number, but not the file name these lines are, it is showing the link instead as it:
