Kunena 1.6 stable is out now, and a new error has popped up on with its Kunena plugin regarding Itemids. As you know kunena 1.6 now uses a menu and just ADDED in this release of stable was its own internal SEO setting to make the urls pretty. I shut this off but here is whats happening...

When I click into the forum for instance on the Index tab it defaults to the help tab. and clicking on any other tab does this. It is because most likely to recent changes in kunena that acesef is not recording the urls properly for each tab. IT WAS working fine in kunena 1.6 RC2 but must have been changed around in the stable release.

Could you please take a look at www.evermoresuccess.com then click on forum and you will see what I mean and then release a new plugin?

Thank you kindly!

Forgot to mention that when I disable the kunena forum AceSEF extension and just use the basic router everything works fine with the Itemids, the urls arent as pretty but it does work... Oh and certain itemids record JUST fine while others dont click the link above and you will see...

Try to search plz:

Do you get "Stopped at line 1313 in uri.php" errors too?

Also the Kunena 1.6 plugin still says 1.5.2 as its version.

The last instruction was to use the itemid from the main menu and use that number to override the other itemids.

This is what happens when you do it.



* Kunena Notice: Oops. You have conflicting menu items in /forum (same path to Itemid 397 and 387).
* Kunena Notice: Menu item /forum (Itemid=397) should have Kunena Forum: Entry Page as its ancestor.

Since I cannot post in the other post you put I will post here.

Now I want to explain below with the understanding, that I could be wrong and if thats the case let me know.

He does have a similar problem however the thing that you say to do in the other post but respectfully it seems to me to be a bandaid and not a solution to the problem.

Basically Kunena 1.6 unlike 1.5 creates its own actual menu with menu items every time you install or upgrade, this is separate and apart from the main menu but it is an actual menu.

In the kunena template they actually create their own module position AND module for this menu and call it from with in kunena like a NORMAL menu in joomla.

The point of this is that when you click a link across the top of the kunena menu while with in kunena the tab will highlight to let the user know where they are. Now each of these menu items in the kunena menu OF COURSE have their own menu itemid.

So your solution to simply make it only use ONE item id with the item override breaks the system because then the menu items in the kunena menu DO NOT highlight, just the one on the main menu.

What I have been doing SINCE kunena has its own menu itemids is using ALIASES instead of direct links to point to the kunena menu itemids so that new itemids are not created to make it so it does not confuse ACESef.

What it is doing is if you don't have the itemid override turned on is recording the itemids incorrectly for the links and when it is turned on ignoring them all together.

The optimal behavior would be for the forums to to work as kunena intends them to. WHEN I switch to the basic router it records the urls itemids perfectly and the tabs work flawlessly thus proving it CAN work BUT I lose some of the url prettying that I get when the kunena router is on, so turning the kunena extension off is not optimal.

One thing is however, it seemed that the kunena 1.6 RC2 menu itemid recording with the 1.5.2 Kunena ACESef extention was working correctly AND ONLY stopped working when Kunena 1.6 STABLE came out. I think they added SEO stuff to 1.6 that was not in 1.6RC2, but I have shut that off and it still doesnt work...

So with the proposed solution in the other post the only options are either not have the new tabbing system work as intended and confuse the end user OR override the itemid and NOT have it work at all.

Is there any way we could just have it working correctly?

AGAIN if I am mistaken in my post I am sorry to have wasted your time please correct me if I am wrong.

P.S. you say to update tot he kunena sef extention 1.5.3 in your other post but it shows the latest version is 1.5.2 and indeed downloading and reinstalling it, it is only 1.5.2.

Please let me know...

@Rodo
Sorry, you should enter the ItemId of "Forum" menu item in Kunena Menu, not Main Menu.

@Lee
Thank you for the long description. I've been in contact with Mathias from Kunena Team about how to improve Kunena routing, w/without AceSEF.

So we've 2 solutions/problems with AceSEF:

1. Overriding ItemID => Couses no "tab highlight" and wrong "modules positions"
2. Using Prefix => Couses tons of duplicated URLs

Right?

Suggestions:
1. What if I make the plugin to "not override" the ItemID of URLs that are in Kunena Menu even if you've set to override ItemID? It'll solve the "tab highlight". About modules, are them displayed while viewing a category/topic too or just while viewing any Kunena Menu item (like Recent Topics)?
