Merged [Merged topic] Multiple forums on one site?

Actually, Sozzled, can't we just make one category and its children invisible to other categories and their children?

Most of this is already possible in Kunena 1.6

Please check out the "Playground" forum here on kunena.com.

You can display any category or section of kunena by itself on a separate joomla page.

First of all, sorry for my speedily reaction in Dutch...

Yes, I used third-party developers of ACL-related software in the Joomla space: Noix and JUGA, together with CB.
The advantage, for me, is that there is ONE database, one forum but only sections/categories are assigned to different user groups.
It looks like they are independent, to the user. As Admin they are One forum.

I'm going to have a look at your suggested playground, and DL version 1.6 to test it in my situation on my localhost test machine.

I'll let you know what the results are.

Sorry if posted in the wrong section, not sure where this should go.

I am currently working on a new Joomla site and because of the type of site it is I will be requiring more than one forum (using different sections of the same forum will not do the job as the forums will need to be distinct from each other). Is there a way in which I could add too installations of kunena to one Joomla site?

If I was to edit the tables to be created name and some other files in the product I could make joomla think it's a different extension completely, however not sure if the licensing agreements on the product will allow me to do this.

Thanks

Hello,

You can't have two Kunena installation on the same Joomla! installation, because there will the same tables used in the same time and there will be a lot of things corrupted.

With Kunena 1.6, you can define some Kunena menu, which each one point to a specific kunena categories : docs.kunena.com/index.php/Customised_menus

Does Kunena 1.6 support having two completely independent forums in the same site?
I read this was not possible in Kunena 1.5 but that it might be available in the future in 1.6. Was it finally implemented?

I want this because I have a Joommla site with two languages (I use JoomFish for this) and I would like to add two forums one for each language. If it is impossible to have two, I could have one single forum (one single installation of Kunena) and then having two categories for the two languages but I don't like much this solution. In case of doing it with one single forum, is it possible to hide the categories that are not in the language selected by the user?

Thank you

When you create a menu item pointing to Kunena forum, you have parameters to choose which category to show.

Therefore you can create one category per language and have two different menu items, each one of them pointing to the proper category.

HTH

It is posible ?

No it's not this issue has been discussed again!
