The Kunena team is thrilled to announce the second public beta release of Kunena 7.0, a native Joomla extension for Joomla! 5.4 and Joomla 6.x. This is a development release and should be only be used for testing; this version is not recommended for live websites at this stage.

K 7.0.0 B2 is in testing phase and we are aware that people will discover defects. We encourage you to use the forum to report defects, as soon as they are discovered, so that the development team can work through the problems before the release of K 7.0 as a stable product. Reporting defects does not mean that the problems can or will be fixed. The Kunena team is looking forward to hearing your feedback on how well we have achieved our design goals.

Kunena 7.0 has been designed to work on Joomla! 5.4 and 6.0, the requirements are the followings :
  • Php 8.1.0
  • MariaDb 10.4 or MySQL 8.0.13
  • Bootstrap 5.x

The work done in Kunena 7.0 is mostly to update the code base:

  • Refactor all the code of plugin integration to be in Joomla! 6.0 by working with events and to drop the parts which was planned to be removed in this Joomla! version (thanks to ruud)
  • Changes on the installer script to be able to work on Joomla! 6.0
  • Make user type on whoisonline widget as links to open the userlist filtered
  • Remove most of the deprecated code

Okay, my mistake, I think.
I tried installing it over the Beta 1 version.
I installed Beta 2 via System, Installation, and Extensions.
It works fine in a clean Joomla 6.

Hello,

I had made a mistake when i had done the beta1 release, it was considered as Kunena 7.0 stable instead of beta1. I had fixed it couple of days after in the release packages. In this case you can uninstall the actual version of Kunena 7.0 and install the beta2

Thank you.
Yes, I manually removed Kunena 7-beta1 from the test sites where it wasn't working because it wasn't working properly through Extensions: Manage.
But after that, installation wasn't a problem.
And on the test site with Kunena 6.4.6, it works right away.
With kind regards
Leen
