Kunena 6.3.5 maintenance Release for Joomla! 4.4/5.0/5.1

Details
Published: 22 September 2024

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

Download:

Download K6.3.5 stable here: https://github.com/Kunena/Kunena-Forum/releases/tag/6.3.5

This means that the Kunena 6.2 series is approching the end of life and will be discountinued, with the future release of K6.3 in stable there won't be new versions of K6.2 after that.

Donations

Any donations are needed for future support.

I have created two test versions of my Lifesite locally. In both versions, the X button is displayed in the CKEditor menu.
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.

I 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.

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#231875

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.

Hello,

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

I have unpacked the installation file pkg_kunena_v6.3.3_2024-07-16.zip and changed all twitter entries to x in the packages directory in the files com_kunena_v6.3.3.zip, kunena_media_v6.3.3.zip and lib_kunena_v6.3.3.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.

Sorry, when I saw that I had to smile. The changes from emoticons to smiley are OK and have made a difference.
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.

I don't understand exactly why you have made this change. For the issue with the icon X which can't be disabled in ckeditor toolbar, you can try with this change : github.com/Kunena/Kunena-Forum/commit/84...68a63bc06fa3f6d8551a

@xillibit: After this answer, I consistently changed everything that is not text from x_social to x on my test server and changed everything that is text to X_SOCIAL.
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.

The work done in Kunena 6.3 is as follows:
  • Replacing Twitter with X in all places where it was used and adding bluesky social network
I have a question: Was Twitter replaced by X everywhere or are there also combinations of X and X_SOCIAL?gindi

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.

(Database = 10.5.25-MariaDB)

Yes, this update has the same problem as previous updates.  The database entries for social media found in Table Kunena_Users are not being updated.  I had this same issue with bsky_app which needed to be manually added to this table for Kunena saves to work with a previous upgrade.  I am using MariaDB version 10.6.16 on Ubuntu 22.04.

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

Hello,

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 ?
