@rich20 I see you gave it an unconfirmed status. Does this mean you were able to apply discuss without issues to J5?
Can confirm this happened. It works flawlessly on the clients J3 site but on J5 we confirmed the settings and turned it on that the issue as shown shuts down the site. Unpublish and the site comes back up.

You are right, I cannot reproduce this error. I only add the red bug label if I can reproduce and confirm an error.

Perhaps you can recommend things we can test/check. From a dev perspective there is nothing a user can do that would trigger this short of screwing with the extension code and that would've been fixed with a re-install of the discuss.
Keep in mind we are ONLY talking about discuss.

Set the error reporting in the Joomla configuration to maximum and enable the debug mode, then you should receive a more accurate error message.

fresh download and attempted reinstall using drag-n-drop gives
using file upload with same file gives
so, idk how your not getting the error but its very clearly a kunena discuss issue.
I have just tried this:
- Joomla 5.1.1
- install Kunena 6.3.2
- install Kunena 6.3.2 languages
- install Kunena discuss 6.0.5
Without issues
Now looking at the error when installing I would like to ask you to add the following code in the Kunena Discuss 6.0.5
File: install.script.php
replace line 17:
defined('_JEXEC') or die();
with:
defined('_JEXEC') or die();
/**
* We need to 'force' the KunenaDiscussInstallerHelper from the installation package as:
* 1. autoloading doesn't work on new installs
* 2. when the KunenaDiscussInstallerHelper is updated we must make sure that it will use the updated version
*/
require_once __DIR__ . '/src/Helper/KunenaDiscussInstallerHelper.php';
Can you tell me if that changes anything?
yep, that solved the issue
