empty "forumposts" field?

Hi,

Using the forum integration plugin, I am in the process of creating an custom sidebar for Kunena using various CB fields.

For some reason, I am not getting the number of forum posts to display. I am using this code, from the sample code the plugin itself displays: I realize that this is a field which first needs to be published. In Field Manager, I publish "forumposts" on a profile tab, but it appears empty, just a dash.

If I temporarily revert to the basic default Kunena mode in the plugin, the default Kuena sidebar reappears and displays the number of posts correctly, so that data is somewhere.

According to the PDF:

This predefined field will be populated with the total number of forum posts when forum plugin is published and forum compatible component has been installed and integrated with CB.

It would seem this field is not being populated with data as its supposed to. Any ideas what might be going on here?

Thanks.

When switching to basic does it display within CB it self or just in the sidebar? If it's always displaying within CB as a dash then something is configured incorrectly resulting in the API ignoring the posts count. This could be due to forum posts display being disabled in CB and/or Kunena that'd result in no results.
