Question [Merged topic] KunenaDiscuss plugin for K 1.5.x

I'm from Russia too Therefore, I think you understood me, if I told you in Russian

Это проблема не с русским языком и тем более не в utf8, это проблема с спецсимволами, которые плагин заменяет на их html сущности. Надеюсь, я понятно выразился если можно, киньте ссылку на сайт, где можно увидеть как это выгдядит у вас.

Hi,

I have installed the Kunena Discuss Bot to my site and would like to know how can I link articles to Forums and not Categories.

To explain more detail,

My Kunena has been setup as Categories --> Forums --> Actual discussion threads within a forum. When I click on the "discuss this artile" in my Joomla, I want the user to end up in the actual forum. Is this possible and if so how?

Thanx

Categories = Forums. Just make sure that you do not link Discussbot to Sections (1st level categories).

AKyHuH, Thank you for the MyBlog fix... it didn't work on my site. Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you!

Does anyone know how to have comments be hidden in a little collapsed menu instead of showing up automatically on every post?

Like a "view comments" button on the pages? Instead of having them just be there..?

Hi,

For the sake of clarity:

In Kunena I have a Category and a Forum and then the actual discussion topic, i.e.


Category
...Forum
......Actual Topics/Discussions/Threads

e.g.

General (Category)
...How to bake a cake (Forum)
......Baking a Sponge Cake (Topic/Thread)
......Baking a Chocolate Cake (Topic/Thread)
etc.


In Joomla I have Sections and Categories and then the actual article, i.e.

Section
...Category
......Article

e.g.

General (Section)
...Cake Recipes (Category)
......Sponge Cake Recipe (Article)
......Chocolate Cake Recipe (Article)

etc.

When someone is viewing the article on Sponge Cake Recipe and they click on

"Discuss this item on the forums"

I want the user to be taken to:

General (Kunena Category)
...How to Bake A Cake (Kunena Forum)

and discuss the item under "Baking a Sponge Cake" (which will be a Topic/Thread)

So far I can link Kunena Category to Joomla Category only!

makes any sense? Any advice?

I have made a total rewrite based on discussbot to K1.6. I found it not useful to have manual override to forum -- so I changed it to be thread. Unfortunately new code does not work in K1.5 and is totally different from old one.

But the main idea is to interpret number in the tag as threadid and pass it to the next function. In there if thread is already defined, you just pass it without searching any mapping..

I've just spent two days reading the whole code from Kunena Discuss and there were some serious bugs in it.

The worst bug is that it tries to be too smart and sometimes it replaces content from an existing post with new one from the plugin -- failing to add that new post. This only happens when two posts are made exactly at the same time, but I believe that it has happened in some forums.

Is the author of Kunena Discuss still around?

author is jerry

Thanx for the feedback. So I assume I have to wait for K1.6 to achieve what I need to ...
