Hi Thank you for replying on the weekend :) Unfortunately, I reinstalled pkg_cjforum_v1.2.0.zip a second time. This time I did not receive any error messages during the install process. However, when I tried to uninstall the package (specifically, by uninstalling CjForum Package first) I received the same error message, as follows: WarningPackage Uninstall: Missing manifest file.MessageError uninstalling package. I'm not sure if this is relevant, but after receiving the missing manifest error message I looked inside administrator -> manifests -> packages and noticed two Corejoomla files:1. pkg_cjforum.xml2. pkg_cjlib.xmlI hope this additional info helps you diagnose the problem. Thanks again for your assistance!

Hello, I've been installing, testing, and uninstalling CjForum on localhost and noticed a few errors. Before uninstalling, I tried to follow the instructions I found on one of the forum posts that suggested I uninstall the package, which would automatically uninstall the plugins and modules. However, when I attempted to uninstall the package, I received an error that the manifest file was missing. So then I preceded to uninstall the component, plugins, and modules manually. Finally I uninstalled the cjlib. However, I still couldn't uninstall the package because the manifest file is missing. I searched my website directory using the search term cj and found several files. I didn't want to delete them manually, so I left them. Then I looked at my database and noticed lots of cjforum tables. So I decided to reinstall everything again. First, I installed pkg_cjlib, which installed successfully. Then I installed pkg_cjforum, which generated the following warning message: Warning JInstaller: :Install: Can't find XML setup file. JInstaller: :Install: Can't find XML setup file. JInstaller: :Install: Can't find XML setup file. I'm guessing that the installation warning message is connected to the uninstallation error message regarding the missing manifest file. Question: At this point, how can I do a clean uninstall? Thank you!

Hi,I have one menu item: Questions Layout. I created three categories. The only thing I changed in each category was the name and description. All other items are set to their default values. The access level for each category is "public" by default. All settings on the permissions tab are set to their default values, which means that the public permission for "view question" is set to "inherited." The language of the category is set to "All." All of the settings described above match those of the menu item. Finally, Community Answers had been installed on a fresh install of Joomla.Everything is set to default, and the category settings match the menu item settings, which are also set to default. For the menu item, all I did was select "Questions Layout" as the menu type, gave it a name, and clicked "Save."Against this backdrop, I found a simple solution to the problem:SOLUTION: In order to view the category name in Questions Layouts view, I had to change the category's public permission for "view question" from "inherited" (the default value) to "allowed."I just don't understand why. It seems illogical that the question itself can be viewed by the public irrespective of whether this setting is set to "inherited" or "allowed", but the category name can only be viewed in Questions Layout view if the public permission for "view question" is set to "allowed." My knowledge of Joomla permission settings is limited. Perhaps someone with a deeper understanding of the way permissions work can make sense of this.

UPDATE: I logged in the front end as the super administrator and was able to view the categories. Therefore, this would seem to be a permissions issue. I guess what's confusing to me is why the permissions by default would be such that a guest could view a question but not its category. TWO QUESTIONS: 1. Why would a guest be able to view a question (both listed at the bottom of Questions Layout view and when the user clicks on and views the individual question), but not be able to see the categories listed in the Questions Layout view? 2. How do I fix this so that guests can see the category names in Questions Layout view? Thank you.

I'm trying to figure this out right now. Here's an update: When I open com_communityanswers/views/questions/tmpl/default.php and replace: echo JLayoutHelper::render($layout.'.category_list', array('category'=>$category, 'params'=>$params, 'maxlevel'=>1), '', array('debug' => false)); with echo 'hello world'; the phrase 'hello world' echoes out correctly.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I just double checked the menu type and "Show Category List" setting, and both are set up correctly: The menu type is "Questions Layout" and "Show Category List" is enabled, but the categories still do not appear. Thank you

Hi, I'm sure I'm missing something easy here, but the categories are not displaying on the Questions Layout home page. I just installed Community Answers a little while ago, added three categories, added a few sample questions, and created a link in my main menu to the Questions Layout page. In the demo there are categories listed above the textfield where the user is supposed to ask a question. On my site, however, the three categories that I created do not display. Below this area I can see the sample questions, but the categories above do not appear. I have tried going through the configuration options, but I can't seem to figure out which switch controls the display of the categories. I simply want the categories to display the way they do in the demo. Important Info: 1. I'm testing locally (localhost) so I do not have a site to look at. 2. I just installed the component a few hours ago. All of the permissions and configuration settings (other than bootstrap, which I had to enable manually) are set to there default values. Thank you!
