Hi,

Wonder if anyone could help? Installed the Kunena forum and all seems to be ok, accept for the user profile.

>profile>edit

There are no options to edit a users profile? Is there anything extra I need to add or is there something a little more sinister going on?

G'day, DeviousBanana, and welcome to Kunena.

Your question has been asked before and the answer is found in msg #1 of this topic.

Hi, I've got problem probably related with some Javascript conflict. I know that it's common problem, but I am not able to find any solutions. Problem is that users can't edit their profile, avatars etc. - docs.kunena.org/index.php/*_Commonly-ask...ipt-related_problems (second heading)

miloshavlicek: Your latest posting is a duplicate of the question you asked before .

The reason that your users are unable to edit their profile, avatars, etc., is because you have another Joomla extension installed on your site that loads a Javascript library that conflicts with the standard Joomla Mootools library. The solution is to identify what is that other Joomla extension and to address the problem by either (a) resolving the cause of the Javascript conflict yourself, (b) asking the developer of the other Joomla extension to fix the problem, (c) resolving the cause of the problem yourself, or (d) uninistall or otherwise remove the other Javascript library so that it does not load and conflict with Mootools.

Sometimes these problems are easy to fix and sometimes they are not so easy to fix. The solution really comes down to answering the question how important it is to make Kunena work on your website and how much time you want to invest in making Kunena work on the site that you have created. The most important resource that is needed in each case where we see these problems is time: it's either a case of how much time you have to spend on working through the problem or how much time someone else has to spend working through the problem for you.

What may help is to compare the HTML source of your website with a "vanilla-flavoured" Joomla site that has K 2.0.2 installed. Using a different example , you may be able to see how to go about doing this yourself. I hope this helps.

Hi

I have just recently installed Kunena 2.0.2 on J1.5.26

Wow! Awesome! Everything works and right out of the box it has everything I need. So I am smiling. The only niggle is that none of my users can edit their user profiles (avatars, signatures, etc, nothing under "profile" is editable).

I have read and taken careful note of the known issues discussed in
" Common causes of Mootools (Javascript library) issues and Kunena " and
" Javascript and Kunena "

From what I can glean from these documents it doesn't seem as if this is my issue. I have my forum running on the JAPurity template with Mootools 1.2.5.

My site also doesn't display the other symptoms of a Mootools conflict, viz:
The performance of the forum on your website is not slow
The BBcode toolbar works fine
Smileys work fine
The Kunena tabbed menu works fine

... its just the profiles that I can't edit.

So I am guessing there is another issue at play?

I'd REALLY appreciate some advice!

My forum is at www.zingdad.com/ascension-forum

Thank you...

EDIT TO AD: Now the BBCode toolbar has stopped working. I am sure it worked before?!? So perhaps this IS a Mootools issue?

G'day, Zingdad, and welcome to Kunena.

Yes, as we are tirelessly reminding people, your issues are caused by a Javascript library conflict from another Joomla extension that has clobbered Joomla Mootools. After spending some time on your website, I see that you are using J! 1.5 with a number of other extensions (notably JCE MediaBox which we are well aware has been reponsible for causing havoc with Joomla Mootools 1.2) and any of these could be responsible for introducing the source of your problem. The way to resolve these problems is to remove - i.e. disable or uninstall - those other things you have until you find the "thing" that is causing your forum to not behave. The articles that you referred to in your post hold the key.

JComments is another extension that you are using that loads its own Javascript on your forum pages. (As an off-topic aside, you may like to consider replacing this extension with Kunena Discuss as an alternative.)

I hope that this advice, together with the advice given in msg #1 of this topic, will help you resolve your problems
