Introduction:
The Kunena team is thrilled to announce the maintenance release of Kunena 6.3.5, a native Joomla extension for Joomla! 4.4, 5.0 and 5.1.
We've implemented native support for Joomla 5. This means you don't have to enable the new compatibility plugin "Behaviour - Backward Compatibility " on Joomla! 5.0 for it to work with Kunena.
Kunena 6.3 has been designed to work on Joomla! 4.4 and later, the requirements are the followings :- Php 7.4.1 to Php 8.3.x
- MySQL 5.7.23 to MySQL 8.3.0
- Bootstrap 5.1
The work done in Kunena 6.3 is the following:
- Refactor the backend views to be compatible with Joomla! 5.0 (thanks to ruud)
- Some bugfixes and refactor of code
- Replace Twitter by X in all places where it was used and add bluesky social network
- Replace some deprecated usage of methods Joomla! from in the code
- Implementation of handle of mentions in a message when using CKeditor
- Get list of users for autocomplete in search form

In one test version I have made the three changes as described and the X button can be switched on and off.
In the second test version I have updated to Kunena 6.3.4-DEV and nothing has changed. The X button is displayed and when I switch the x-social on and off in Aurelia/BBCode, only the x button changes position in the block of four.
If I then change "x_social" to "x" in plugin.js, delete the x_social.png in "icons", delete the twitter directory in plugins and make the changes in config.xml and TemplateController.php, everything works as it should.

Is it still not working for you with the dev version? Switching X off and on has been working for me since this fix: www.kunena.org/forum/76-Official-Announc...0-5-1?start=0#231875I have now found a way to switch the X logo in the CKEditor menu bar in Kunena 6.3.3 on and off without major changes.
In /media/kunena/core/js/plugins/x/plugin.js I changed the two twitter entries to X. At the moment it also works with twitter, the only question is: How much longer?
In /components/com_kunena/template/aurelia/config/config.xml I changed the entry x_social to x in line 285.
In /administrator/components/com_kunena/src/Controller/TemplateController.php I have changed the entries x_social to x in lines 259/260 and 423/424.
After deleting the browser cache and kunenacache it works perfectly.
Maybe the setting of x-social has to be saved again in aurelia/BBCode.

I have made more changes in the developpement version of Kunena 6.3.4 to renamme others things from twitter to X : update.kunena.org/nightlybuilds/pkg_kune...4-DEV_2024-08-03.zip and update.kunena.org/nightlybuilds/pkg_kune...4-DEV_2024-08-03.zip
Then I created a new test server with Joomla 5.1.1 and Kunena 6.3.2. I then updated the test server to Joomla 5.1.2 and copied the unzipped and modified pkg_kunena_v6.3.3_2024-07-16 into the tmp directory, adjusted the permissions and updated Kunena in the admin directory/system/install/extensions/install directory.
The result was that all relevant entries in /administrator, /libraries and /media were changed from twitter to x.
Unfortunately, the twitter entries were still present in all /components files.
Is there a way to change/update these /components files via the installation file or do I have to change everything manually?
For me this would be a matter of 30 minutes but it would be nice if it were easier.

I have an another change to renamme the config variables which had the word twitter in it : github.com/Kunena/Kunena-Forum/commit/b4...f0c581b5cdbfbdc4f031
There are couple of others part which have twitter in it, need some work to rename the remaining
Some others hasd been done in developpement version of Kunena 6.4 with that : github.com/Kunena/Kunena-Forum/commit/84...07550d1fc70059b48fa4
Regarding the changes in the plugin.js, there is no x_social and no twitter for me, everything is x, even x_social.png is x.png for me.
Btw. in the config.xml I have also changed x-social to x in the content, in the text I have left X_SOCIAL.
My test installation is 98% twitter free and works without problems. There are only two files, twitter.svg and twitter.png in email. In the content there is only "x" and in the text passage "X_SOCIAL".
This morning I created a new test version with a bare Joomla 5.1.2 and a bare Kunena 6.3.3. Only the admin, a user and AkeebaBackup was created.
The Kunena has 33 files in which the term "twitter" is still present.
If I can help to change this, please tell me how.
gindi
Then I did a lot of testing and realised that in the file administrator/component/com_kunena /src/Controller/TemplateController.php in lines 259/260 and 423/424 you have to change the expression X_Social to X so that you can switch the X button in the CKEditor menu bar on and off.

I've tried with both: Joomla 4.4.6-dev and Joomla 5.1.2-devYou encounter the issue on Joomla! 4.4.5 or on Joomla! 5.1.1 ?
Database is 10.5.25-MariaDB.
Confirmed. The fact is that the table update is not executed during an upgrade. It is of no use if you go to the dashboard afterwards. So you have to enter this command manually with phpMyAdmin in the database.Thanks for the reply, the error is because my Kunena database has not been updated.
I found the entry in kunena.install.upgrade.xml and updated the database table.
gindi
(Database = 10.5.25-MariaDB)
For users having this issue, x_social should be substituted for twitter. bsky_app needed to be added to the table as another column,.between reddit and ok

That's is something is changed on update to x_social from K6.2.x to K6.3.x since K6.3.0 stable, when you had done the update to K6.2.x to K6.3.x did-you had opened the Kunena dashboard ? And some alert messages has been displayed on things which has been updated ?
