Question Is it possible to automatically update to Kunena 3.0.2?

Hi there,
We're using Kunena 3.0.1 on a Joomla 2.5.14 site.
We'd like to update to Kunena 3.0.2.
Is there is a way of doing this automatically from Joomla Extension Manager Update?

This is only my personal opinion but I think it's safer if (until the problems with Joomla have been solved) you upgrade using the method described in K 3.0 Upgrade Guide .

Eventually it will be, but at the moment it is disabled while some issues are being resolved.

I have been trying to upgrade my version of Kunena and I get the following error message.

Instead of using the "Live update method", try using the method described in K 3.0 Upgrade Guide

Thanks Jiminimonka & sozzled,
I'm happy to wait until the issue with Joomla is resolved and automatic update is available.

Yes, but don't let that stop you from updating to K 3.0.2 the "old-fashioned" (and most reliable) way. It might takes months before Joomla fixes this problem.

In fact, there is talk that Joomla will move away from the current "automatic update" system to an "app store" arrangement which may (or may not) be more than just a name change for the same kind of thing. If you have extensions that need to be updated, my advice is to update them now, using whatever technique works for you. What works for K 3.0, is to read the upgrade guide referred to earlier in this topic.
