Kunena 7.0.4 Released

The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 7.0.4 [K 7.0.4] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 5.4.x/6.0.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.2 / K 6.3 / K 6.4 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 7.0

If you are having problems then, for your own benefit, it would save us all a lot of time if you would kindly post your configuration report when you ask for help from this forum. If you do not post your configuration report we will not ask you for it but you will probably not get your problem solved, either.

K 2.0 support will cease on 31 August 2013 and this section of the forum will be closed and archived after that time and no further questions will be answered about this version.

I don't have access to a WinXP system running an original version of IE8. Therefore, the only test I could run was on a Win7 system with IE9 simulating IE8 and, as far as that test went, I had no problems when I hovered the mouse over the Kunena menu. It is, however, clear to that you have a Javascript "software soup" whose ingredients are overpowering one another.

Let me put these issues into perspective. In msg #1 of Before you post your question, read this first we discuss various issues that cause the non-performance of Kunena on people's websites. If one studies the "form guide" over the past few years, it's a safe bet that as one introduces another Javascript library into the mix, the probability that it will not co-operate with others increases until it becomes a certainty.

Joomla needs the following Javascript libraries in order to work
Code:
<script src="/media/system/js/mootools-core.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="/media/system/js/core.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="/media/system/js/mootools-more.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Kunena adds two more
Code:
<script src="/media/kunena/js/mediaboxAdv-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="/media/kunena/js/default-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
That's the minimum set needed to run Kunena in J! 2.5. In a "vanilla-flavoured" J 2.5 website using the Beez5 template, the total number of Javascript libraries running (when Kunena is loaded) is 7.

In your case, however, I counted a total of 24 Javascript libraries, any one of which could be responsible for clobbering Mootools in an Internet Explorer environment.

Although I did not encounter any problems (in the 10 minutes that I spent looking at your site) with Firefox - I'm not saying that there aren't Javascript conflicts even for Firefox, it's just that I didn't find any - I did encounter the Javascript errors with IE9. Several elements on your Kunena pages, when clicked, produce the same "Invalid Argument ../media/system.js/mootools-core.js [at] line 354" errors.

What's the solution? Ultimately this is a decision that only you can make. I suggest you read Which came first? The template or the forum? and then look at the practical guide given in msg #1 of Before you post your question, read this first .

When you say "at one point your upgrade failed" I think we should be discussing those issues in a separate topic where we can give it the focus it requires, rather than diffusing the focus away from the principles on which Javascript operates in an Internet Explorer galaxy "far far away". ;)
