Solved K2.0.0 RC2 - menu issues with upgrade

Hello, first thanks for the great component and the great support!
I'm having an issue with the Kunena tabs on top of the forum:

Matias wrote: Kunena 2.0 has a small change on displaying menu -- you always need to have menu items UNDER your Forum menu to display the menu. Or you can use menu item alias to point to the automatically created menu. So the issue is in your Kunena menu item inside your main menu.

The (rockettheme) templates I've used so far with Joomla 2.5 do not highlight (i.e. mark the menu items as selected) menu items of type "menu item alias".
So I can either have Kunena tabs (if using a menu item alias) or a highlighted main menu entry (if the menu item not an alias), but not both...
Do you have any ideas how to get both - the highlighted main menu item and the Kunena tabs?
Thank you,
Nop.

nopalot: I am trying to understand how your questions relate to what we've discussed earlier in this topic and, in particular, whether your problem will simply disappear when K 2.0.0 stable is released. I am trying to understand whether the problem lies with the Rockettheme template that you are using or whether the problem is caused by the way that K 2.0.0 RC2 did not properly create menu items - something that has been fixed.

It would assist everyone, when people report various issues in testing K 2.0, if people read the "rules" posted at the top of this page. In other words, when you make a report about problems that you have found with test versions of K 2.0, please include your configuration report so that we can see if the problem is something faulty with Kunena or if the problem was caused by something you may have done.

In your case I cannot decide what is the cause of your problem but, because we don't see the problem here at this website, perhaps your problem has more to do with how you implemented Kunena and less about some software defect. I don't know. :S

Lemme try to show you a Solution, without knowin´ about any Config-Logs from yours.

Simply log into your Backend. Go to the Menus/ Your Main Menu. Select the Menu Tab, which is directing to the Kunena Forum (I guess you named it "Forum" aswell) and "Edit" it. Klick onto Details/ Menu Item Type/ Select. Choose System Links/ Menu Item Alias. Select Required Settings/ Menu Item/ Kunena Menu/ --Index. Save & Close. Done.

sozzled and kristobal, thank you both for the quick reply and sorry for being too vague in my earlier post. I was referring to version 2.0.0-RC2

After update no Kunena menu as top of Kunena (the tabs) where shown.

I'm aving the same problem - that the Kunena tabs are not always shown.

What I like to do is to ensure that the Kunena tabs are visible regardless of the menu item that points to the forum. Is this somehow possible?

The fact that the rockettheme templates do not highlight menu item aliases has nothing to do with Kunena. I mentioned it as explanation to make my situation more clear, but it had the opposite effect...
Sorry about it!

Anyway, here are my configuration settings:
