Sticky List of Kunena Features

Actually the author contacted me and asked us to look at it. So let's make it more accurate.

Somebody update this for Kunena 1.6 - its gonna look very different...

Someone pointed me to this thread.

please check if source of information is valid before posting lol

Could you please be more precise and explain which features should be wrong?

I am sorry, which features did I miss?

May be in your conclusion, but in real it is not unreliable! Everybody can explore the forums (all are installed) and have a look in front- and in backend. The comparison only lists features that every user can see and proove himself in frontend as well as in backend.

I only can explain that for the comparison on installiert.de . All free forums with at least RC state will become installed - no alpha or beta.

On the startpage of installiert.de is stated in german and english:

So, who discovers mistakes (in content or in my written text), should send me an e-mail,please, you'll find the contact details under "Impressum". The same, if there are missing features. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

But because perhaps 2 or 3 features of Kunena may be missing, to deduce whole comparison would be "unreliable" is distinctive and why I am not surprised about this?

@Devs, sorry if something is missing, I would be glad to correct the comparison table, if you let me know, what exactly is missing. Thanks.

Lintzy,

Its all good. Great work as always!

Might get ready for a large Kunena 1.6 upgrade of that list. You will have some editing to do.

Here are a few new categories you don't have on that list like Joomla menu integration (all navigation controlled via Joomla menus), Joomla router integration (multiple separate sub forums on a single website), Joomla module integration, Minified CSS and JS for faster page loads, color coded categories, Joomla version support: 1.0, 1.5 & 1.6 (turns our there are still hundreds of thousands of Joomla 1.0 sites out there), community wiki, ...

The changelog for 1.6 is over 2,000 lines long. We will get you a compiled list of all the new features and functions.

Hope this helps!

Hi fxstein,

as explanation about this comparison table: It only lists, what you can see, if you explore the forums in front- and backend.

It will not list informations, that only DEVs can know. I talked with Mathias some time ago about my idea, that DEVs, if they are interested, could send me a list about the features, that a normal user can not see, like: Performance, MVC framework, and also e.g. what you just wrote Minified CSS, JS.

I talked with Stian from Ninjaboard too, (there the idea was born), he gave me a large list of features, that he missed in comparison table. I quote of this talk with stian

But as well as your feature list (most of the items) are more background informations, they are very interesting for a lot of users, I guess. So I thought about a way to publish them too.

I would like to integrate a new menu item / category on installiert.de, like:
Supplement of the Developers.

Here all DEVs could give more informations about their forum. Are you interested? We could publish your list above. But please separate this list yet into: Is still integrated in this beta, and will come in future.
And of course, you should keep this list current.

I will translate this also into german language and send the other DEVs a message to send me a list too, if they like to do so.

The points "Joomla menu integration) and Jooma Module integration (is it in 1.5.12 yet? I will check it, really did not see this) will be integrated, with next upgrade of comparison table.

A compiled list of all new features of Kunena 1.6 (at least RC) is very appreciated, thank you.

Just as far as the RC "rule" - its up to developers, at least one of the forums you listed never had Alpha or Beta but only RC, the other one you are quoting is running FireBoard as their support forum.
We wont be doing that. We run what we write, Kunena 1.6 is closer to be stable than some of the RC candidates you might see out there. As you can see we have upgraded kunena.com today to 1.6 and its here to stay.

Anyway I hope you will be pleased once you get to install it. We think it is a major step for the open source world around Joomla.
