Thanks again Kunena!

Suppor kunena by reviewing in on the JED!

Nice to read that.
Really goods news.
Thanks...!

However, it leaves 1 question: will template-mod's, icons and smileys be overwritten, updating that way ?

Is there a change log anywhere explaining what has changed? The only description I can find is this general statement, which doesn't say what's new or changed.

reviewing in on the JED! ...sure..: n00b aks what is JED..??

JED = Joomla Extensions Directory

I have Joomla 1.5.2 Can I upgrade to Kunena 1.6.2. without problems.

I am very new to Joomla, a simple yes or no would do.
Thanks

yes, you can.
first install component Joomla! Update Manager .
let that tool do the work to update to J! 1.5.22.
it's free and you'll be on the safe side.
Then update to Kunena 1.6.2. but take care abt special, and/or modified template settings etc in your 'old' version.
Follow the threads on this forum.

Read the first post again:

Be sure your setup meets or exceeds the minimum Technical Requirements or the install/upgrade process will fail. If it fails, your data will be left untouched.

You will found System Requirements also in here: docs.kunena.org/index.php/Kunena_1.6.2_R...#System_Requirements

Because you said that you are very new to Joomla! I think you wrote wrong Joomla! version number (maybe right is 1.5.20 or 1.5.22)?

I went to www.kunena.org/download , selected the 1.6.2 Installer/Updater, and downloaded com_kunena_v1.6.2_b3894_2010-12-29.zip. Then I went to Extensions->Install/Uninstall on the Joomla back end and browsed to the zip file and hit "Upload File & Install" (like usual). I got a big pink/red error stating "There was an error uploading this file to the server". Below it was the message "unable to find install package".

- Any advice? I'm running Joomla 1.5.21.

I installed version 1.5.9 into Joomla and it's working well - but there's one error on the front end page that displays the Kunena forum:

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in \wamp\www\joomla\components\com_kunena\kunena.php on line 698

Other than this - it seems to be working OK.

On my earlier post: I imagine v1.6.2 is for Joomla 1.6??? (since it did not install into Joomla 1.5.21). If so, it would be helpful if this were clearer on the download page. And if not - the Kunena people have a bug. 1.6.2 will not install into Joomla 1.5.21
