Question Kunena latest posts module - BACKPORTED FOR JOOMLA 1.0

Oscar, I can't remember from your other post. Did you upgrade from Fireboard to Kunena or are you still using FB 1.0.4 or 1.0.5?

It is not wise to remain on the 1.0.xx platform.

I don't think he can. If I understand correctly, Jerry's module only works with J1.5 and Oscar is using J1.0.X
I would, however, recommend upgrading to Joomla 1.5 if possible. All new security releases are available in 1.5 moreso than 1.0.X and everything is moving there in time.

I'm sure I'm correct in saying that you don't actually upgrade to 1.5, you actually migrate to it (if that's the correct term to use) obviously I would have upgraded straightaway if it just meant overwriting a few files. But I would have to literally wipe everything clean and rebuild the website. I would probably lose a lot of traffic because the URLs would be different. So I'm quite happy to stick to 1.0 15 and use 1.5 for any new websites I do.

Obviously I realise that I am limiting myself because websites such as rocket theme are no longer making templates for anything other than 1.5. Anyway, they've got some great templates that are still compatible with my version so I am not really bothered.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway, let's hope that I can get this particular module working.

Ahhhhhhhhhh........ I keep having to login again every time I come back to the forum, very frustrating.

Yes, I appreciate that things are moving on and 1.5 is recommended. It's just the thought of having to do my website all over again. What I thought I might do is go down the same lines as BOJ and create another website with exactly the same content and close the forum on the old one so people can't post but just use it as a reference. They can be redirected to the new website and then may be two or three years down the line when a new website is doing just as well as the old one, close the old one completely. Just a thought, at least I can construct the new site gradually instead of having to rush it. I suppose I could put it together off-line and then just upload it. It is something to ponder over.

Sorry, but you seem to be missunderstanding, we're not BOJ, we aren't related in anyway, besides forking kunean form their previous project, fireboard.

I was under the impression that the developers of fireboard are now developing this forum software. You can no longer post on BOJ forum either. They linked directly to this website and a lot other moderators and now on here doing the same job.. that's probably why I thought you were just a follow-on from fireboard.

Regarding my previous post, I was just using them as an example of what I might do when migrating to 1.5
