Question Kunena 1.6 - a moderator's view

Threaded view is not planned for K 1.6 alfa/beta.

For those who haven't seen the movie (see msg #45772 ) the fact that it's attracted a bit of bad press :laugh: means that it's made an impact!

But I know that we're going to have to keep repeating these warnings because people are not going to spend 2 minutes 6 seconds of their precious lives looking at such stuff. So, here's the information again:

Kunena 1.6 is coming soon:

It will soon be here at www.kunena.com and you will soon be able to download it and test it for yourselves. But here are a few important warnings:

K 1.6 alpha is not for live sites. If you don't know what you're doing you could risk destroying your website. If you upgrade a K 1.5.x website (and you can) you are warned that there is no going back. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. If you don't like it, you're stuck with it. Any customised changes, hacks, tweaks, "things" that you did in K 1.5.x will not work at all in K 1.6!

K 1.6 doesn't work with every Joomla site template. We don't care at this stage: K 1.6 is still in alpha development and it's changing every day. We're focusing our attention on rhuk_milkyway and JA_Purity templates.

There will be no support for K 1.6 alpha. If we receive questions that include any of the following terms, they will be ignored and the topics will be locked:

I've just installed K 1.6 and I can't make it work!
How can I go back to K 1.5.11?
Urgent help needed!
I cannot install K 1.6
Please tell me what to do next?
I've installed K 1.6 on my live website ...
Can you please fix this for me?

However, we are interested in receiving feedback on what things don't work, but don't post your messages in the Support category. We will make available a new category to receive your bug reports.

Another new feature of K 1.6 (that a lot of users will be excited to hear): users can delete their own messages.

But the news gets better: deleted messages are actually moved to a "trash" area and not permanently deleted until the site administrator empties the trash. Until that happens, messages can be undeleted as the following screenshot shows:



In this case, the "ordinary" registered user (test-user2) has deleted the second message that they posted in the thread. Other users cannot see this deleted message unless they have admin/moderator privileges. Note the appearance of the "undelete" button to restore the message to view.

The above image is a conceptualised view based on a work-in-progress. It is not intended to be an official endorsement of what the finished product will look like because the design is continually changing. It is meant to illustrate what people may encounter with the new version.

Also, please note: I made some important changes to the movie in msg #45772 . Please watch it again.

The new movie is much better!

Can't wait to install it on my test site!

I thought that threaded view was being included in K1.6. Has this changed?

Sincerely,
Howard

Threaded view (discussed here ) is not planned for K 1.6 alpha or beta (at this stage) as @quila wrote in msg #45813 .
