Question No category selection possible

Hello,

first of all I would like say a big thank you for the kunena team for it`s great work on this fantastic Joomla component.

I`ve an Joomla 1.7 installation with Kunena 1.6.5 and the latests "Kuena Latest" extension 1.6.4 on my server.

What I want to archive is to use the Kunena forum as data source for my news/front page which is initially shown. So if someone posts for example into the category "News" in the forum the post should be instantly show up on the news/front page. This is because I don`t want my users to struggle around with the Jommla backend.

As far I`ve seen I can archive it using this extension. However, I am wondering about some things (maybe i misunderstood something?):

(Screenshot attached - sorry for german translation)

• No category selection possible
No categories are displayed in this field and its value is set up with "0" by default. In some other screenshots of this extension I have seen that a category list schould appear there.

• Setting "Show content" doesn`t have any effect
On the page where the module is used changing the "show content" setting doesn`t have any effect the content is never displayed on the page (only as tooltip). Is this intended?

Can you please give me some advice on how to get it working? Is the latest extension version maybe not yet compatible with Kunena 1.6.5 ?

I really appreciate your help !

Thanks,
Thomas

Hello,

Hello xilli,

thank you very much for your fast help.

Your patch helps, the category selection menu is now filled up correctly. There`s just a cosmetical fault left, the value "0" appears at the beginning of the category list.

But even if i select "show content" the content is of the post is only displayed as tooltip. I fear this is intendend ?

However great to see that an updated extension version is coming really appreciate your work and support !

Thanks,
Thomas

Yes, it's intended to show content only on hover

Thank you very much for your help xilli!

Just because i am interested in is there any bridge/extension/plugin for Kunena which can serve this feature or do I really have to modify extensions source otherwise (or find another way) ?

Thanks,
Thomas

I'm still rather new at this, so I'm wondering...is this just a file I can download and put on my site? Or do I need to modify/add some code? I'd really rather not do that, but I'd give it a shot if it was relatively simple and I had some step-by-step instructions.

Or will Kunena Latest be updated to include the category list any time soon?

Thanks.

You need to save the file and replace it on your installation
