Joomla site

Kunena is a  leading Joomla Forum Component which has been downloaded more than 900,000 times in a span of less than 2 years. It is considered  as the only forum/discussion solution for Joomla that is community driven and at the same time is open source. Kunena integrates deeply into the framework of Joomla and the User management, Registration, Login/Logout, menus, modules and much more are leveraged through Joomla itself.

Kunena is a simple to use, yet sophisticated CMS based forum platform that grows with the users needs. The tight integration with Joomla allows for cross customizations options that are hardly provided by other bridged solution.

• Kunena comes configured with a sample database that allows the user to setup and run the extension without having to make any changes. From the moment Kunena is installed the forum  goes live. The user just needs to create a menu item on the Joomla website.

• Since the stable release of Kunena 1.6, the Kunena team has been focused on fixing over 100 bugs; including fixing issues with CSS, router, API, HTML validation, and usability. Official Kunena modules and plug-ins have been updated along with language translations.
• Kunena 1.6 marks a major milestone for the Kunena Project. A long list of open source contributors have committed over 3,000 changes helping make Kunena the leading forum solution for both Joomla 1.5 and 1.6. A long list of new features, various optimizations, and code restructuring have resulted in the most advanced version of Kunena to date.
• Kunena now supports Joomla 1.6 style languages files that are backward compatible with Joomla 1.5. Multiple languages are included in the base install packages. They can also be installed separately. Kunena 1.6 supports multiple languages installed on a single system and, together with Joomla, allows users to select their preferred language.
• Templates have now been separated from the underlying code, which allows for version-independent template development. Templates can embed various options that can be set via the included template manager (e.g. avatar position on left, right, top, or bottom in the new default template, Blue Eagle).
