Merged Sometimes users get: "You do not have permissions to access this page"

Funny. My site works and every components work. Only kunena does not work with legacy off. But you think that site does not work.

Otherwise, the kunena wiki esplane (wrongly) that if you have every component updated you can turn off legacy, but it is not true.

In fact, in previous post, Matias says that "I think you have either CB plugin or UddeIM/CB template that doesn't work in Joomla 1.5 Native".

So, kunena's wiki about legacy is not complete (for me).


Please, consider that this problem of legacy is not a problem of today and for me. You can find a lot of posts about...

We have the same issues on our homepage. It is running completely under Joomla 2.5.X. I just made the upgrade from Kunena 1.7.x to 2.0.3 and have exactly the same problem.

Parallel we have a test-site running, on which we updatet from Kunena 1.7 to Kunena 2.0, 2.01, 2.02 and today 2.0.3 without any problems.

Is there a change in the Kunena-Code that the installer doesn`t know ?

The answer to the problem about "sometimes users are getting 'you do not have permissions to access this page'" is to check the permissions on your categories. A useful guide to setting up your categories is to read Simple forum setup instructions

The other information that you are looking for is in this topic. You should not have to change any PHP code.

Regarding the problem described by virgo (all categories empty on Index, access denied if accessing a topic directly) I have made two experiments with the backup of this site on my local web server:

a) upgrading from latest Kunena 1.7 to 2.0.3
All topics are lost (the frontend says). Accessing a topic directly (via previously working url) a "you don't have access" message is shown (to a Super user!)
In the DB all entries are present but in _kunena_categories and _kunena_topics tables all references to first/last topic/post are empty/zero.

b) upgrading Kunena (on the same site, restored again) from 1.7.x to 2.0.2 first and then from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3
All topics are shown and can be accessed without any problem - all works fine.
(and all references in the DB tables are set as expected)

To prevent a complete site restoration I had simply replaced the two tables on our life site by the two from test b) and all is working fine and our users are happy.

This is why virgo asked if there is a difference in the upgrade functionality in 2.0.2 vs. 2.0.3.

I don't know where to find the real cause of the problem. But maybe this test results will help someone.
