Question Multiple forums on the one site

Hi all,

Is it possible to have multiple forums on the one site?

So one menu link goes to forum A and another link to forum B?

Guiding steps would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mat

It is only possible to have one instance of Kunena installed on one site.

It is, however, possible to have different categories open using separate menu items for each. See Customised menus in the Wiki for detailed instructions on how to setup custom menu links for Kunena.

Okay, first I will preface this post with the fact that I have searched on this, and seen many posts about how impossible it is, why no one should want to (but obviously many have), etc. But every post I have found was related to an older variant of kunena (i.e. 1.x)

So, I have a website in which I wish to isolate various parts of the forums, either having multiple separate forums, or else one forum with distinct sections which are shown only on one menu item/page. I cannot use ACL for this, not entirely, as I wish to have the various separated sections accessible by the same users.

As an example, this will be a national (USA) website. I wish to have each major city represented with a distinct/separate forum, on separate pages. As each city will have a full long list of categories within it, it would make for an unwieldy forum system if they are all displayed on a single page. However, I would like users from any city to be able to visit the forums for any other city - this is not to restrict access, but to make a more usable site/experience.

Also, there are members who are businesses, and members who are clients. I would like the businesses in each city to have a business-only forum (now THIS can be handled by ACL), which their clients cannot access. Likewise, clients should have a forum that is theirs alone.

Anyway, regardless of your opinions, there are many valid reasons why a website might need multiple different forums, or at least a single forum which appears as multiple different forums. Is this in any way possible with the newer versions of kunena, or is it the same old story?

A feature request from a while ago by me
Github Issue #1030

The issue is we can only show one category at a time. Instead the idea is to point to the parent and show all children.
