Question Are there a public demo of Kunena & why/why not?

Hello

I realised havent been able to find any online working demo of Kunena.
Not on kunena.com or on any Joomla-sites.

Why is that? :dry:

The first thing I am looking for at online applications, is a working demo.
Please correct me if Im wrong, but I think most of the more advanced Joomla plugins have this...

Anyway - I think it would be a good feature to set up a example/demonstration of Kunena and make it easy accessible for the public (incl admin account, the forum could do an automated re-install every 3-6 hours maybe).

Best regards

www.kunena.com is a working implementation of Kunena. What else were you looking for in a demo?

Poor sozzled, he gets to answer all these great questions. Kunena is a simple component to install on your site if you want to view the backend.

... just lucky, I guess ... :laugh:

@sozzled
Ok, where do I find the backend and administration tools here on kunena.com?

@Ganzuelo
Yes, I figured it were a module fairly quick (duh)
But I still think it would give the project an overall nicer presentation than without a demo.
Dont you?

Best regards

Giving users backend access to a Joomla website (for demonstration purposes) is a tricky business. I've only seen this done a couple of times before. Actually, it's far less common for component developers to provide this kind of "try-before-you-buy" feature than littlejohn would have us believe. It certainly makes some sense, if you're trying to lure paying customers to your product, to allow them to try things out before they pay good money. Sometimes you can do this by providing a universal platform (in English, French, Swahili ... maybe even the language spoken by the 10 remaining members of a small tribe that lives in remotest parts of the Amazon valley) on the web. Sometimes you can provide a limited-features version or a time-limited one instead.

Kunena is free. (I mean, it doesn't cost money). It does cost your time and effort but, even there, the costs are fairly small. And, as every serious web-developer knows, you don't implement something you don't know anything about on your live, production site without subjecting it to thorough testing on your own test site.

So, in short, there's no substitute for using your own brain-power and muscle-power and build your own demo site. On the other hand, if you want to save yourself that effort, I would be happy to build a basic demonstration site for you for a small consideration. Say a couple of hundred dollars. Interested? :woohoo:
