Question [Merged topic] General questions about Kunena 1.6 - please do not ask about release dates

Thanks for the update - we appreciate it!

We just get a little eager when we read that it is 48hrs from release on Twitter..

That is K1.5.6, not K1.6

Hey, I'll be more than happy with the release of 1.5.6 (when it comes out)

But I'm excited to see what 1.6 has whenever its released!

Thank you very much for the information. With that information I will go ahead and get what I need developed for JS Groups. I will gladly offer it to the communicty when it is complete. Question... Do you think that plugins created for K1.5 should work in K1.6?

Thanks...


If anybody would like to offer suggestions on JS groups, I will consider getting them developed at the same time.

My plan is to allow groups to create their own forums within "enabled" categories on the back end. The group creator will be the moderator by default and they can add othher group members as moderators. The forum will be "Private" to the group or "Public" to other site members. Groups could create multiple forums. And links to the forum would be found in the JS Group.

Great to hear they are working on big improvements for the Kunena 1.6 release.

Continue the great job guys!

As Johnny said, Kunena 1.6 is a rewrite to J1.6 MVC model.

Currently it's mostly working for visitors, but once you log in, there are a lot of missing features -- like writing a post, well, does not exist as the icon is missing..

With the new code forum seems to work much faster. There are many reasons for that: Less code to be parsed by PHP, greatly reduced amount of optimized SQL queries, optimized images, etc..

There is a new default template looking closely to default_ex, but internally it is very different to the old themes. There is almost no code in the template. This is good news for every template designer and means, that older templates will work in new releases -- but maybe have some missing features.

Basic integration with UddeIM, CB and JomSocial is already implemented, and the new implementation will make it easy to extend those integrations.

Ah, almost forgot to say, that no code made for K1.5 will work in K1.6 without modifications. Everything has changed.
