Question [file]CB tab for Kunena

I needed a CB tab to work with Kunena. I had an old simpleboard-tab, which worked fine with Fireboard 1.0.4 Stable. I just installed Kunena and the plugin works fine except for the option 'threaded/flat'-view, which in the latest versions of Fireboard was integrated in those tabs above the forum header. I did not manage to rip that out.

I could not find it anywhere online, so could not post a link, so I attached the CB plugin in this post.

Note: this is for:
JOOMLA 1.0.15
community builder 1.1

It need language vars. Just paste the underneath vars in file:
components/com_comprofiler/plugin/language/default-language/default-language.php I hope this is helpfull to anyone.

i get this error when i try to install it:

The directory in which the plugin should install does not exist: probably the parent extension is not installed. Install parent extension first. Plugin parent directory missing: "/server here/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbfireboard/joomlaboard/" and plugin directory specified by installer for installation "/server here/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbfireboard/joomlaboard/simpleboardtab/"

The "missing directory on installation" problem is a relatively simple one to fix. Assuming that you're trying to install the CB tab plugin for Kunena 1.0.8 , create the following directories

/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbkunena/
/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbkunena/joomlaboard

then install the plugin from the Community Builder plugin installation control panel.

Thanks! it works now

I had, until recently, relied upon the CB forum tab referred to in this discussion. It works fine, even with a bit of fiddling during the installation, to provide users of Community Builder with a profile tab with 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" have been locked. We can only speculate on the reasons for that.

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.

These were exactly the instructions I needed. Short and to the point and worked like a charm.

Thanks.
