Question [Resolved] Kunena Discuss Plugin not working

Hello there,

I have just installed Kunena Discuss 1.7.2 (have latest version kunena forum installed) on my Joomla 2.5 website.

I have enabled and configured the plugin but I cannot see any comment box in the articles at the frontend nor any topics created in the default category in Kunena.

Am I doing something wrong?

Could anybody advise.

Thnx

G'day, lurd.sammie, and welcome to Kunena.

Did you read the guide in the Wiki? Have you browsed other topics in this category (and in the archive sub-category) to see if your questions have been asked before? I think you will find that your questions have been asked and answered before.

You could have done something wrong. I don't know because we don't know what you've done. I'm not sure how to advise you without knowing a lot more about your site.

Please read How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

Thanks for the reply.

I actually did search the forum, found a few close topics but maybe not exactly answering my question. Admittedly, been new to the forum it takes time to find my way round properly.

I have looked at the wiki on generating report and i must admit, got me more confused. I have attached a screenshot of the settings. Hope that may help.

Thnx

Remove "8.9.10.11" from Allowed Content Categories (the syntax is wrong) and Kunena Discuss should work for you. See Discussbot Instructions for some information.

For future reference, please read What information should I include when I ask for help (including how to post my configuration report)?

Thanks for once again for the reply.

My first attempt at the settings I left the Allowed Content Categories empty and it wasn't working so that is why I tried with the categories IDs in there. That too didn't work. I have removed them again as per your advice but still won't work.

Basically I have 4 joomla categories (IDs 8,9,10,11) for our news section, 'The Herald'. I want all articles in any of the 4 categories to be discussed under the Kunena 'Herald Discussions' Category (ID 4).

I have managed to generate the report:

Thank you for your configuration report.

You have no Joomla articles and that explains why the Kunena Discuss has no content to create on the forum

You have no Kunena categories. See Sections, Categories, sub-Categories (Part 1) and that explains why you cannot see any topics.

Hello again,

I am not quite sure why you said I don't have any categories created. I actually created all the categories under the Main Forum which was listed as a section. In any case, to be double sure, I have created a new section and moved the Herald Discussions category to it. It is still not happy.

Pls see attached screenshot.

Can you show me any one Joomla article that you have written, that we can see (without having to login to your website), please? Where is this "Herald" thing? I can't see much of anything at your website but, then again, I am not logged in and that probably explains a lot.

Sure. The site itself is still under construction but you can view it at:

1. 173.214.160.145/~odadee83/index.php/test...odadee-felix-amartey

2. 173.214.160.145/~odadee83/index.php/test...adee-benjamin-kwakye

If you need a login then I will have to PM you for very obvious reasons.

Thanks

Found the cause of the problem. In the end it was a very simple oversight. The problem is because I recreated the articles from the live site odadee83.com , I have set the creation date back to January while in the kunena discuss plugin I had set the Topic Must Start Within: to only 1 week.

I have now set it to 6 months. And voila! its all working now.

Thanks for your time and effort.

Very much appreciated.
