Merged [Merged topic] K 2.0: Problems with third-party content plugins

The option doesn't exist in Kunena 2.0.1 "Forum Configuration >> Frontend" page, and I need to use the JoomLatex plugin in the forum. What can I do?

Hello,

Your plugin needs to leverage the right events : docs.kunena.org/index.php/Kunena_2.0_plugins_events

Hello! All of the events (plugins) already are activated. But the JoomLatex still doesn't work. I saw here in the forum that a user fixed the same problem activating the ancient function Joomla Content Plugin Support, existing in the Frontend Kunena administration tab. But in the Kunena 2.0 this function doesn't exist anymore.

I noticed that if I use the tags {tex}{/tex} of JoomLatex on topics, instead of equation appear in LaTex format, the following code appears:

<img src="latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?x%20%3D%202%20%2B%203" title="x = 2 + 3" alt="x = 2 + 3" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-left: 1em;" />

If I use the tags in the Category Header or Description, the tags have no effect.

Are you using J2.5.x then go to administrator/index.php?option=com_plugins&view=plugins&filter_folder=system

click on System - Kunena Forum ->

Joomla Content Plugin Support to yes

Thanks for the answear! The system plugin already is set up to "on". And, if I choose "...bodies", on topics appears:

<img src="latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?x%20%3D%202%20%2B%203" title="x = 2 + 3" alt="x = 2 + 3" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-left: 1em;" />

If I choose "...Titles", appears:

{tex}x = 2 + 3{/tex}

There are four important points that we need to make about the matters discussed in this topic:

(1) All of the problems that people have reported relate to content plugins, developed outside Kunena, that people have installed themselves;

(2) These content plugins were developed by third-party developers for versions of Kunena before K 2.0.x. The K 2.0.x release notes clearly state the following This important point also appears in Before you post your question, read this first . People should read the release notes and the sticky topics in this forum so that they understand what may be the reason for their problems.

(3) There was an issue with the System - Kunena Forum plugin in K 2.0.0 which has been fixed in K 2.0.1.

(4) Third-party content plugins will not work unless they are

• compatible with K 2.0; and
• you have enabled the System - Kunena Forum plugin (see the image below):
  
  

The system plugin already is set up to "Yes". And, if I choose "...bodies", on topics appears:

<img src="latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?x%20%3D%202%20%2B%203" title="x = 2 + 3" alt="x = 2 + 3" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-left: 1em;" />

If I choose "...Titles", appears:

{tex}x = 2 + 3{/tex}

lutheriah: Have you discussed this issue with the person who developed the JoomLatex content plugin to ensure that their plugin was compatible with K 2.0.1? From what I see at the JED , JoomLatex was last updated in April 2010 and it doesn't look as if this is supported any more.

Hi! The JoomLatex is really outdated, but a user here could use it in previous version of Kunena, enabling Joomla Content Plugins Supporter when this function was located in the Kunena Frontend configuration . It would be really nice if both (JoomLatex e Kunena) could work together because JomLatex is one of the few formatters of LaTeX for Joomla, and it works well on Joomla 2.5, in addition to Latex format is essential for mathematicians forums.

Yes it would be "really nice" but, let's agree on one thing; K 2.0 is a totally, systematically, structurally and logically, different product to earlier versions of Kunena. That is why there is a big, prominent warning in the K 2.0 release notes that states:
There are no ifs, buts or maybes.

If JoomLatex is more important to you than a supported, progressive discussion forum then you always have the option to restore your website to the state it was in before you upgraded to K 2.0.

*** Off-topic ***

I am sympathetic to the needs of people who want to use LaTex in Kunena. In fact, I remember us having a discussion about some of these things nearly 3 years ago, here, in code without replacement by smilies or something else . Perhaps someone else has a contribution to make about a third-party product that may be useful for people who need to use LaTex?
