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

As I wrote earlier,

As people will see, the discussion about Kunena 1.6 has been going for a very long time. The developers have been working tirelessly to deliver as many of the design objectives as they can and to incorporate, were time permits, new features prior to the initial alpha test version.

This discussion topic has largely been overtaken by Kunena 1.6 - a moderator's view in an effort to introduce users to the differences that they can expect to see when Kunena 1.6 is finally made available to the public. In order to not distract the development team from their main objective, this discussion topic will now be closed.

Thank you, everyone, for your keen interest in following the progress that is being made to establish Kunena as the premier forum extension for Joomla!

In addition to this topic, we've had a couple of other discussions involving people asking, complaining, pressuring the development team for a release of Kunena 1.6 or a commitment to a specific target for a stable version. The additional pressure does nothing to alter the situation and the questions are not new.

Kunena 1.6 alpha requires further testing before it can move into a beta/release candidate phase. Instead of repeating the same questions - when will it be ready - users would be helping themselves (and the Kunena project) by assisting with the testing/familiarisation activities.

This topic is (again) locked.

Hello!

I'm thinking about move to K 1.6 from K 1.5.9 when it will be Final realease, but I wanna do some questions before.

-Will it include the login system like wich was created by @quila?
-When a guest visit a post, can he click on "reply" and be redirected to login or register?
-Are there more flexibility in permissions?
-How are shown message dates? ([ago...] or [date xx/xx/xxxx]
-And is it possible to upload avatar images to another filehost (like imageshack.us) and use it on Kunena?

I have done some hacks ins Kunena and it would be a pity to lost they

Thank you very much and great job!!

- Yes
- Yes
- some - but more in the works
- Yes - configure in admin
- images are local, but with auto resize and thumbnails on the fly

I recommend you download it and play with it on a test server or local hosts.

Hope this helps!

Great fxstein!!

But, what "but more in the works" exactly means?

And a last question to try it in my test site. I have Joomla 1.5.14; Do I need to upgrade it?


Thank you!!

Right now we are working on basic Joomla 1.6 support.

For Kunena 1.7 we are imolementing full private group support for JomSocial, CB and the Joomla 1.6 ACL

Min required Joomla version for K1.6 is Joomla 1.5.19

Hope this helps!

It sounds really good!

Thank you for this excellent forum
