Question banner positions?

It seems that the positions for banner (fb_1, fb_2, fb_msg_1...) from FB don't work in Kunena 1.0.8.

While 1.0.7 was active you've mentioned that you will post new instructions for banners after 1.0.8 is public..so.. can we have them now pls

tnx

Starting with 1.0.8 the following Joomla module positions are supported by Kunena:

kunena_profilebox (Inside the profile box - like the share button on kunena.com)
kunena_announcement (Below the profile box)
kunena_msg_1, kunena_msg_2, ... kunena_msg_n (below the n-th post - limited by number of posts per page)
kunena_bottom (below the forum)

Modules can be published for all these positions. As such you can publish a custom html module, that contains adsense code. On kunena.com we have publish adsesne below the first post (kunena_msg_1) and below the 5th post (kunena_msg_5).
Make sure the module are set to public and published.

i'm using Joomla 1.0.15, and inside the module positions filed i can enter only 10 characters. Anyone else having this issue??

Many thanks, it is a great notice and works fine.

Guys, in Joomla 1.0 you cant put kunena_msg_1 in the module positions because it only fits 10 characters, so the position is saved as kunena_msg which normally doesn't shows the ads on the proper place. Is there any solution for this?

Hi,

Have not seen that I will need to check this out on the local test servers.

Hi,

Unfortunately you are correct. Joomla 1.0.x is limited to 10 chars on module positions. Totally artificial limit but never the less. We will need to see how we can offer a work around for this.

If anyone is in a hurry,

1. create new module position (it will be saved as "kunena_msg" because of the 10 chars limit)

2. open phpMyadmin, navigate to jos_template_positions table, click the structure tab and change "position" it has value "varchar(10)", all you have to do is click on the pencil (edit) and change the value from 10 to 20.

3. then navigate to jos_modules table and also change the "positions" value from varchar length 10 to 20

4. again open jos_template_positions table, clck the browse tab and click the pencil next to the "kunena_msg" position and change it's name to the desired banner position (ex.kunena_msg_2)

now you can assign any module to the new position

note: this is for Joomla 1.0.xx only!

Hallo,

Sorry, but don't understand above?

I'm using Joomla 1.5.9 with Kunena 1.08

How can I add banners as described above in Joomla 1.5.9? Where to create the Joomla module positions?

Withe regards,
