Question CB Plugin - Kunena Forum Tab

never mind, I modded the simpleboard one

I had, until recently, relied upon this CB forum tab. It worked to provide a tab on a user's Community Builder profile with some information about their Kunena forum material. So far so good ... until recently when I tried to add new CB data fields and then all hell broke loose.

Attempting to add a new field resulted in a "500 Internal server error". The Joomlapolis website was totally inadequate in tracking down the source of this error - in fact, all previous discussions with "500 Internal server error" in the topic name have been locked.

Not only was it not possible to add a new field, attempts to run the built-in Check Community Builder User Fields Database tool likewise resulted in the same "internal server error".

I've been able to track down the cause of this problem - but it took me several days:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class CBfield_forumstats in ..\components\com_comprofiler\plugin\user\plug_cbsimpleboardtab\cb.simpleboardtab.php on line 76.

The problem occurs merely because the cb.kunenatab plugin is installed ... irrespective of whether it is published! :ohmy: The solution is to either uninstall the standard cb.simpleboardtab (which can't be done because it's a core component of Community Builder! ) or ininstall the cb.kunenatab plugin. I went for the line of least resistance and removed the cb.kunenatab plugin and, hey presto, I could operate Community Builder again! :woohoo:

However, this doesn't solve the initial problem: how to add a forum tab on a CB profile that operates with Kunena. :S The best solution that I've found is the "Tony Woodhouse" method: see Kunena Integration with CB - Step by step guide.

Thanks a lot for this post...
The plugin that I posted was ment for CB 1.2 RC4, that was the cause for this error..
I now switched to jomsocial so supressed further development of this plugin...
I'm sorry for that...
But, anywayz, thanks for pointing the fault....

I gave Tony Woodhouse karma for that one.

With several work arounds available to us, we can get everything to work. I can get my forum information displayed in CB, even signatures that were in CB over to display in Kunena, but the only thing not fixed or worked around is the MESSAGE ORDERING.

But like I said in another post, I'm leary of going live just yet. I have a couple of weeks before I really have to be fearful of my release time frame being lost. There are updates for Kunena and CB in the hopefully NEAR future but definite future for sure.

In my case, I need to use JACL PLUS, which is a permissions program that hacks the core of the CMS to work. So when I make an update, it may effect JACL, and that will require enduring the wait to get more updates.

In a perfect world I would have 100% integration, with out work arounds, between CB and Kunena, then implement the JACL core changes to use the permissions this website I am working on requires, test, and launch the site.
