KUNENA compatibility #37

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Hi!
Kunena forum is currently the only integrated with Joomla. This creates 
enormous opportunities. Integration of the gallery in the content of Kunena 
SigPlus would be a very good step. Using the gallery SigPlus and Kunena forum 
allows such a forum of photography, art forum, etc.

Best Regards!

I fully agree with you yet I must close the issue without taking action.

An important principle in sigplus has been to keep external dependencies at a 
minimum. Early versions of sigplus depended on several third-party lightbox and 
slider implementations, and tracking changes in external products and how they 
affect sigplus has proven to be beyond my capabilities given how little free 
time I have. Later versions of sigplus came with the lightbox boxplus (by the 
same author) and a slider implementation fully integrated into sigplus, 
reducing the number of dependencies. The benefit in terms of reduced support 
cost and time has been priceless.

A similar effect as described above would occur if sigplus were integrated into 
Kunena. I would have to track changes in Kunena and provide continuous 
integration. The only true solution from a personal perspective would be to 
develop a sigplus interface that allows easy integration of sigplus into 
various external (and unrelated) products. Other developers would then use the 
sigplus interface and create various bridges between sigplus and other products 
while incurring no time/cost on my personal resources.

As far as I understand, the Kunena 2.0 infrastructure allows regular plug-ins 
to be included in Kunena provided these special Kunena-specific methods are 
implemented in the extension. This is a feasible integration approach that I 
may as well follow in sigplus. However, the linked documentation "Kunena 2.0 
plugins events" by itself is clearly insufficient, e.g. what is a KunenaAccess 
or KunenaProfile object, how to use the BBCode, etc. remain open questions. 
These must be adequately answered, perhaps illustrated with an example, before 
any development could take place.
