Implementing bootstrap worked perfectly!

A word of advice to you: K 5.0 beta is just that: it's beta software. If, as I suspect, you're investigating the viability of replacing Chronoforums as your forum software of choice, it might be advisable to use K 4.0 which is stable (and supported).

Returning to the discussion we are now having, I understand your concerns about using Kunena in your Joomla environment. Without going into specifics, yes, the Crypsis template (even with K 4.0) may not always adapt smoothly to everyone's site template.

Well hello! I have only fooled around with this for an hour or two, but already find it far superior and polished to Chrono. Looks as if Kunena will likely be our new forum. From what I read 5.0b5 is "stable" so from that I think its probibly better off than Chrono, and the leap from 5.0b5 to 5.0 final is likely smoother than 4.0 to 5.0.

Good to hear that

Sorry, I doubt it. I won't be trying K 5.0 until about 3 or 4 months after it the first production release has emerged; the beta version is for members of the community to trial, to experiment with.

Well, it is now :laugh:

More likely, there will be a hair-breadth's difference between them.

I seem to have some missing/broken path images now.




Its lookinf for icon in the folder inputmapper.com/media/assets/images/ but I do nat have any such folder assets in media.

For giggles, tried k4, same issues with the icons folder missing or path broken, with some additional funkyness happening in the menu. Guess it may be time for me to re-design my template in bootstrap, though ive never really liked bootstrap much.

Unfortunately, this seems to happen (as far as Kunena's HMVC templates are concerned) with four out of five Joomla templates, sadly. The trick is to find a Joomla site template that co-operates nicely with Kunena. This also may explain why nine out of ten Kunena site owners are still using the older [Blue Eagle-based] templates.

As far as topic icons are concerned, there's a setting somewhere on the Crypsis template option (I think).

I've been tempted to go back to protostar; K 4.0 Crypsis seems to work pretty well with that one. :lol:

So with K4, I created a blank bootstrap template with all the basic joomla and bootstrap styles and js files, and it still has some very odd behavior inputmapper.com/index.php/component/kune...emplate=inputmapper2



At this rate i'm beginning to think k5 was more stable than k4.
