Kunena 6.4.8 Released

The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 6.4.8 [K 6.4.8] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 5.0.x/5.1.x/5.2.x/5.3.x/5.4.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 6.4
Important note: Go to the Kunena Dashboard after an upgrade so that the Kunena database tables are also updated. This is particularly necessary for major version jumps so that the table changes are adapted.

This section is for questions directly related to the procedure for installing Kunena for the first time or upgrading from an older version of Kunena.

Use this category:
  • to ask how to install or upgrade; or
  • if you encountered problems during the installation or upgrade procedure.

Use a different category to ask questions about problems that you may be having after you successfully installed or upgraded the currently supported version. If you are unsure what is the current supported version of Kunena, please go to the download page.

Multiple problems after update to 6.1.3 was created by webenhanced
Since upgrading Kunena to 6.1.3, I am having troubles in categories and uninstalling using the Joomla extension system.

The first symptom was during the update I selected 3 extensions and updated in a batch. One of them sent the installer to a 500 internal system error page. I was able to go back into the joomla admin  section and two extensions were still ready to update including Kunena. I then updated each one individually and they both succeeded.

The next was an error while trying to delete a Kunena category. By ticking the category and choosing actions / delete, I get the following error message and the category is not

View not found [name, type, prefix]: categories, html, site

So I go to tools and run diagnostics, and all passed except this one:

categoryMissingAliasTEST FAILED1 issues

So I go back to categories and they all have an alias and the aliases are unique. Although two categories had the same alias at one point and I modified one so they were all unique.

Then tried to uninstall Kunena package and it failed:-

JInstaller: :Install: Can't find XML setup file.
Incorrect date value: '' for column `mpg_portal_live`.`n7x63_kunena_version`.`versiondate` at row 1


Went looking in the hosting apache error logs and found this from around the time of the 500 internal server error.

AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Cannot declare class PlgSystemNovaRainInstallerInstallerScript, because the name is already in use in /var/www/vhosts/', referer: &view=update


A web search suggest a couple of extensions by Tassos Marinos might be the issue so I uninstalled them and that allowed the Kunena uninstall to complete properly.

After installing Kunena 6.1.3 package with the joomla installer, I then went to the categories (data was preservered) and tried to delete the category and the same error was displayed as mentioed above and the category was not deleted.

I went into phpMyAdmin and checked the kunena_categories table and all categories have a value in the alias field.

I used the tools / Uninstall Kunena including DB and then did a fress install of Kunena v6.1.3. The install went well, but the software is still having the "view not found" error trying to delete a category.
I also noticed that I get the same message on the front end when editing a post.

The diagnostics are all passing now that I have created the category tree from scratch.

That view not found error make the software unusable at the moment.

It would be worth trying to change the entries profileiconset from default to standard and editoriconset from default to standard in the template settings.

Thanks for the reply.

I do not see any other option other than "default" in Aurelia template for both those icon sets.

I did not install the sample data. Does this add something?

Am I missing some component or add-on?

You had written the following:

You wrote that in the next post.

Which categories did you want to delete? Without sample data you have no categories and no smileys, unless it is an upgrade from K5.x to K6.x.
Try again with a clean reinstallation and also install the sample data.
Important! Always create a backup before you make any changes to your website!
