Kohana Forums

Welcome to Kohana Forums

Here are some guidelines to help you utilize our resources better.

The forum software is Vanilla Format your post comments as one of: 1. Text - Just plain old text. 2. Markdown - A simple text markup - Learn Markdown syntax 3. HTML - Hyper Text markup - Learn HTML (srsly)

There are various forum categories: If you are not sure which category to use: then post to community support NB! Don't post in announcements unless you have an, erm, announcement.

Use Markdown. it's easy. All you really need is:

Text: Just type your text as usual, no tags or anything. Basic markup:

Links:  Here is a link to [google](http://www.google.com)
This will **bold** something
This is in *italics*
* on the line starts a list

Important If you are posting code : 1. Indent each line of your code block by 4 spaces.

<?php echo "this is a line of code"

2. If you are using HTML wrap your code in something

Don't post hundreds of lines of code into the forum. Post small, relevant pieces. Do use a pastebin if you have longer code samples. See kohana pastebin or another one

If you have a general question about Kohana post to Kohana general discussion Your question starts like "how does kohana do this" or "why does session do that"

If you have a specific question post to community support Your question starts like "how do I get the whatchamacallit to thingamy" Or, my app is not working, why is my app not working? Please, We are not here to debug your application, ask nicely.

Please don't post questions in the tutorials and plugins category.

If you think you have found a bug. Post to Bugs and Errors Try and describe what occurs in a clear concise manner. Kohana Core is pretty stable, don't jump to conclusions, it's probably an application bug, or a configuration error.

If you know you have found a bug. Please log on to Trac and raise a ticket. Try to describe how we can re-create the error.

If you are not a native English speaker, please post in English, but don't apologize for bad English! It's probably not that bad anyway, and there are many languages understood here.

4. Is Kohana production ready? Yes.
5. I have read the user guide but am still uncertain, where can I find source code for a working application? The Kohana website code is available (includes css, templating, authentication, paypal, feeds etc) Also numerous modules are available which contain high quality code (flot, kodoc, shoutbox, gmaps etc) zombor has generously made a production application available, which is based on Kohana 2.3.4
6. The svn version has a bunch of major changes from released version. Why do you guys keep changing things? Briefly, backwards incompatible changes are made for new major releases, when evidence shows a compelling case the change will benefit the developer, long term.
