Loved Switch template for Mobile browser - Kunena 3

Hi everyone,

I use a custome K3 template, which look very nice on desktop, but is a mess on Mobile browsers.
Is there any way to have kunena to switch template when it detects the browsing device is a Mobile?

I've already that setup for the Joomla template, which change depending on desktop/mobile, but Kunena template remain the same, this is very annoying.

Thanks a lot.

I can't say the answer, but I use Mobile Joomla! That pro version cost someting too...
www.mobilejoomla.com/extension/forum/kunena-mobile.html
I use there only basic settings(not any pro) www.joomla.fi/foorumi/viimeiset

Hi Mortti,

Thanks for your answer, seems pretty much to be dooing what I want it to.
Just one information for you, from my Nokia 920 (Windows 8 phone), all is working well, except for scrolling when displaying the topic list.

If I see the top or bottom (black backgroung) I can click on it and start scrolling.
If the topic list is longer, and I see only topics, no way to get the scrolling working.

Except for that little annoying bug, I'm intrested, so I'll look deeply into it.

Thanks a lot

Hi there,

Seems in the past they could do it with a small hack.

My temporary solution is hack to Kunana (1.7.2) file

File effected:


Find this code (line ~30)


Add underneath those code:


The script check if your your Joomla is using template 'your-joomla-template', then switch Kunana template to 'your-kunena-template' instead of default template setting in Kunena backend.

But the file don't exist anymore in the kunena dir.

I try to do the same trick, but compatible with K3.0 in the /controllers/misc.php where template should be loaded, but it seems this file is not used when my kunena forum is loaded

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

K 1.7.2? What are you talking about?

Please post your configuration report.

Removed as it contains my PHP config.

So I'm on Kunena 3.0.4.

But I was pointing out what I found on the web, and want to achieve.
Only found a Hack for 1.7.2

But would love to use it on 3.0.4

So what I would love to achieve is to change my Kunena Template based on the joomla template displayed (I got already the joomla template to change based on the device used).

Thank you.

If you are using a custom Kunena template then you need to talk with the developer of that template. Did you know that the K 3.0.4 Blue Eagle template is designed for mobile browsers?

Hi there,

I finally solved it myself. Here is the how to for anyone interested (Joomla 3 and Kunena 3):

Download the official free (community) version of Mobile Joomla: www.mobilejoomla.com/download.html

Configure the component (all the devices on the left, "Smartphone", "iPhone", "WAP", ...) should be set to the template you selected for mobile users let say "joomla-template-mobile".


Go to your ftp, and edit "/component/com_kunena/kunena.php"

Find this line:

Add BEFORE that line:

What you have now:
If your website is accessed by a dekstop:
You have your site, and your default (selected in administrator pages) Kunena Template

If you website is accessed by a mobile device:
Your website will be displayed with the mobile template you chose (In component mobile joomla) and will have now the Kunena Template you selected in the code !

Enjoy,

Funkjamin

Is it possible add option to use for mobile Crypsis version and for desktop Blue Eagle as Funkjamin made changes in kunena.php? It's really annoying to make changes on file after updates...
