Question Adding signatures to profiles?

Just so YOU know for future reference, the sig is controlled by Kunena in the forum config. You need to set Kunena as the profile manager, not auto-detect and not JomSocial.

Hello, I'm a newbie of Kunema. I'm evaluating to adopt it as forum of my website or not.
You wrote "You need to set Kunena as the profile manager", how can this acchieved? Is something related with Joomla configuration?

I confess, I'm a little bit confused about signature. For example, I have registered myself on this forum and there is no field for the signature when you register for the first time. :dry:
Nevertheless, If now I click on the "Profile" tab upside of the screen and then I click on the tab named "Forum", I can see an overview of my forum activities. But... looking carefully I see e little button named "Edit" on this screen :huh:
If I click it and I go to "Forum settings" I can finally specify my signature.

So, seems to me that the signature is not a feature of the forum itself but of that "thing" ( :lol: ) called "JomSocial". I'm right? :huh:

This website, www.kunena.org , uses JomSocial. Look at the bottom of my reply to you and you will see a signature. If you go to your [ JomSocial ] profile (press the Profile tab) you will not find a place to add or change a signature. Therefore you can conclude that the signature feature is not part of JomSocial. So, you may ask, how did I add my signature?

If you look at the menu bar on the JomSocial profile at this site, you will see a menu item as depicted in the following image:

That's something you have to configure for JomSocial. If you know how to build those JomSocial menu items then you can create a menu item for Kunena. The target of the menu item should be "/forum/myprofile" (if you have SEO operating on your site). If you go to that address on your site, you will see that you can now access your Kunena profile and you can change your signature.

The signature is a feature of Kunena; it is not part of that "thing" called JomSocial.

Thanks Sozzled for your fast reply.
Now I have undestood...
maybe...
yes, I have...
mmmh...
no...
maybe not...

I would like to tell you that is all clear to me, but... I cannot...

As I understand from your explaination, JomSocial is a thirdy-part component (I'm right?). So it sounds a little bit strange to me that to use a feature of Kunema I must use another component builded from somebody else.
:huh:

This thing I really cannot understand... maybe I'm too much pragmatic, I don't know... :dry:

There is no other way to access to all feature of the Kunema profile data? For example... using Kunema only? :woohoo:
(look at my avatar, please)

If you don't want (or need) JomSocial then don't use JomSocial.

Clear!
But a user would be able (in some way) to specify his signature?
I suppose yes, I'm right?

(yes, I know, sounds a little bit strange talking about this in the JomSocial section of the forum...)
