Kunena 7.0.2 Released

The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 7.0.2 [K 7.0.2] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 5.3.x/5.4.x/6.0.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 7.0

This category contains miscellaneous, uncategorised user contributions, (templates, modules, plugins and hacks) relating to older versions of Kunena that are no longer supported.

The topics in this category are for historical interest only. Owing to the structural changes that occurred in K 1.7, many of the ideas in these topics will not work with later versions and, for that reason, the topics are locked.

Hello,

You have two ways :

-You can read in the database in the table jos_kunena_version by taking the most recent entries
-Read the xml file which is generally in administrator/components/com_kunena/ and extract the version

I don't provide support by PM, because this can be useful for someone else.

Ipotize that we choose the table option
if i run the 1.5.* the tablename is jos_fb_version
if i run the 1.6.* the tablename is jos_junena_version
so checking what table name exist i can detect the current kunena running version
but if i upgrade from 1.5.* to 1.6.*
if i'm not wrong the table name is jos_fb_version ? is correct ??

For the xml manifest option
i've tryied the upgrade from the previuos 1.5.* to the 1.6.*
the update goes wrong cause of my old PHP version,
but the manifest xml file was changend like

Code:

        <name>Kunena</name>
	<version>1.6.1</version>
	<versionname>Timu</versionname>
	<creationDate>2010-11-06</creationDate>
	<build>3858</build>

so i think that a more robust way is table do you agree?

i'm trying to develop a joomla system plugin that will be able to work for both Kunena version...

Yes table is more reliable, you need to have two checks one for k1.5 and one another for k1.6

something like this snippet of code

Code:

}	
//Get the DB 
     $db=JFactory::getDBO();
     $cfg = new JConfig();
     $table16=$cfg->dbprefix.'kunena_version';
//the query for table existence     
     $sql = "SHOW TABLES LIKE ".$db->Quote($table16); 
	   $db->setQuery($sql) ;
	   $version16 = $db->loadResult();	
	   if ($version16==$table16) {
        // we are running k1.6
     }	   

thanks
