Important Mobile Responsive Menu Problem w/ Kunena (Update: Not just mobile but desktop too!)

I have a weird problem I can't seem to figure out. When I am accessing my site from a mobile phone and the responsive select box is being used when I select 'forums' (my main menu title for Kunena) it goes to the forums but the name stays 'gallery' (which is my first menu item) in the menu. Every other main menu item changes to its name when I select it except for Kunena. Does anyone have any ideas on why this is? I have also tried it with DJ Menu and same thing on mobile. Of course on computer the menu title says 'forums'. The select box title is correct but the drop down box title is wrong. Hopefully someone can help me figure this mystery out. Thanks in advance.

I posted my report below and you can see for yourself if you access my site on mobile I choose forums.

Here is my configuration report:

Hi cmantis,

I think, with this problem you should post your site url here and upload a screenshot of your bug.

Regards,

Sorry I figured the website name was in the report but I guess its hard to see. It is popcorals.cloudaccess.net/ again the problem is with the mobile menu. When any other main menu item is active the name in the drop down box reflects the correct menu item title except 'forums'. I have tried making new menu items and also renaming to other than forums but still it says 'gallery' instead. (Note: I hid the 'home' in a hidden menu hence why 'gallery' is the default when you go to the homepage). Here are the screen shots so you can see what it looks like when 'forums' are active and then when another page is:


(In the selectbox menu 'forums' was chosen but 'gallery' is displayed in menu)

(In the selectbox menu 'gallery' was chosen and 'gallery' is displayed in menu)

Here is another one for reference (this is the 'guides' section):


*It is only the 'forums' section that doesn't display correctly in the menu. It says 'forums' in the actual select box but not in the menu.

First of all, g'day and welcome to Kunena, cmantis.

The subject of this topic "mobile responsive menu problem with Kunena" may confuse some people. I will try to summarise and explain my understanding of the issue.


When you say "the name stays 'Gallery'" (I see what you mean) this is a function of your Joomla site menu, not the Kunena menu.

The following screenshots may help:





In your case, the name "Gallery" is the first menu item in your main Joomla menu; it may or may not be the active menu item, but it's the first one. Perhaps, depending which Joomla menu item you select, your Joomla mobile responsive template (from Rockettheme) may display the correct menu item that is active at the time but, if you will also notice exactly the same thing if you look at this website ( www.kunena.org ), too; this website also uses a Rockettheme template. You will also see the first menu item in the main Joomla menu used on this site ("Home") even if you visit the Forum page.

The K 3.0.3 Blue Eagle template was the first template design released to the public developed by the Kunena team. The team knows that this is not the best mobile/responsive template that could have been built; the K 3.0.3 Blue Eagle template is an interim stage in the evolution of a truly responsive template for Kunena. A lot more work needs to be done before things are finished.

In my opinion the problem we are discussing is an irritation but not a serious defect. Whether this particular matter will be resolved or not, I cannot say. I'm not a developer, I'm just a user.

Thanks for the response. I added the 'home' menu back in and you are correct when I select the Kunena forums it is displaying the first (in this case 'home') menu item. It just seems strange that when any other menu item is selected it displays the correct menu item just not Kunena. Thats why I turned here.

The issue is not isolated just to what you see on a mobile phone display. It also happens on desktop displays, too. To be honest, I'm not sure if I know the reason why this occurs. :laugh:

You know I just realized this and was coming back to post. It doesn't stick on the desktop menu either. That is why mobile menu is messed up. Usually when a menu item is selected the menu is highlighted and in my case has an arrow however (only) with Kunena it remains blank as if it wasn't even selected. Hope that gets sorted in an upcoming update.

It's not Kunena bug really. Its a limitation in menu module as it cannot associate alias into the real menu item.

Currently the only way to fix this issue is to move kunena menu items into your main menu and replace the alias in there.

The feature worked in Joomla 1.5, but somewhere between 1.5 and 2.5 Joomla broke it. The feature itself is rather easy to implement... Not sure why it's not in there anymore.

I am not sure that I follow. Are you suggesting I move the entire forum menu into my joomla main menu? Really I just want to get the 'Kunena' joomla main menu item to be highlighted like other main menu items when selected and display the proper name (in my case 'Forums') in the mobile menu.
