Excellent Extension



Posted on 10 February 2011
I have been working with joomla for a few years now, and developed 10-12 websites. The one thing that has been most difficult is the incorporation of a viable forum. I've tried many of the commercial and non-commercial extensions out there, and learned the nuances of bridges, template integration, dual-site scenarios, and multiple databases. Integrating a forum in joomla is a daunting task.

Kunena has proven to be the simplest integration I've seen. No dual databases...no dual logins...fast installation...straight forward configuration....plenty of available templates...Plus, the option to integrate into your existing template.

I am impressed.

There are no words...

to express how fantastic this extension is and how unbelievably supportive the Kunena team is in helping rectify any problems you may have. And, to clarify, the problems were of my own doing and not something either caused by or native to this extension itself.



I cannot express how impressed I have been with the Kunena team from top to bottom on my experience thus far.

Great Extension

Amazing !

I was looking for a good forum component and this one is the best. I first installed CCBoard, not really what my customer was looking for but they started with this one after their site has been hacked. So we were stuck with 1500 posts. I imported to Agora, which has not what we wanted. So I used the Kunena converters and I was good. So many features and easy to work with. Still some few problems but better than rewrite everything.



When I encounter problems on the Kunena installation I posted on the forum and the support was perfect, quick and helpful answers. They even chat with me to be easier and faster.



I've been ''playing'' with Joomla for the last 6 years and I is the best support I received so far.



Congrats to the developers and the forum support.



Keep your great work !

The best... impresionant!

Easy installation and configuration, yet meets the basics of a professional forum! Awesome job!

The best native Joomla Forum!

I have tried several other forum solutions and was not happy about the joomla integration. I finaly found Kunena about a year ago. Since the first release, large development steps have been made and much more to come.



Pro's: stable, fast, easy to install and configure even for a beginner, great support, great modules to support your forum.



If you need help, just ask the large community, moderators and devvs!

An Open Souce Software



Posted on 30 December 2010
This component is the best one I've ever used. It's a real Open Source and Free software, no hidden payment and/or intentions.



Looking forward for the Kunena 2.0 version.
