Question Kunena 1.6 - a moderator's view

HAHA! nice! I like this time options thingy. Should really help out some of us that get stuck on stupid over the date formats. Good stuff Kunena Dev. Team.....keep it coming!

kunena 1.6 is looking awesome cant wait to get me hand on it and see if it really is goin to be a massive step forward for my gaming communtiy and help to make us as good and have as many member as this site

Looks great, looking forward to it.

Is there a test version available to download? (can't find this...) Or is it private only?

Private only, can't w8 to see it :>

alpha is availible to INTERNAL testers only and is looking rather sweet so far, but with the ungforseen problems with K1.5.10 it has delayed work on K1.6.


good things come to those who wait OR rome wasnt built in a day OR perfection takes time

take ya pick but end of the day we are just gunna have to wait till K1.6 is finished before the public get to play with it.

You will recall (msg #42254 ) in which I showed a screenshot of the new Kunena configuration report that users will, in future, be able to post at this website. I omitted to say that this new report makes use of a number of new Boardcode tags but, before I get into those, I would like to update the image that I showed previously with a new one:


The first thing that stands out is the mauve-pink shaded section at the top with the heading Confidential information. This shaded area is generated by a new tag and its purpose is to reveal information only forum administrators and moderators. In other words, the existing functionality implemented by the hide tag - that prevents guest users from seeing information unless they are logged-in to the forum - is extended by a new confidential tag to screen information from other logged-in users: only moderators and administrators can see this "confidential information". There is, however, one drawback: users who post this information cannot see it either ... at least, not with the test version I have been using. Perhaps that will be changed in the near future? :whistle:

The other main change to the Boardcode that I've noticed is the introduction of support for tables. Although it's still early days, there are several new tags that look very similar to HTML <TABLE> tags. Pressing a table icon will automatically generate the following Boardcode: So, you see, extending this boardcode "template" structure into something more useful is fairly intuitive. In fact, if you already have a table on a website and you want to put it into a Kunena forum post you could simply transfer the HTML into a text editor, replace the angle brackets with square brackets and you'd be fairly close to converting native HTML into Kunena Boardcode! :woohoo: (Fairly close, obviously ... it wouldn't be an exact match)
