Question JomSocial plugin integration and tagging

Howdy,

I recently upgraded our JomSocial to 3.2 which now does user tagging. I was trying it in the Kunena (3.0.5) forums on our Joomla 3.2 site but it doesn't work.

So, I searched the net, found nothing then searched here and only found one post.

Does anyone know if tagging works using the integration plugin or is this something that JS will have to come up with or is it something that Kunena will eventually update?

Thanks much.

Didn't you ask something like this before (about :user tagging", I mean)?

Not really. The time I asked was before there was any such feature so I was trying to figure out if JS or kunena might have that coming.

Now, JS does have it but it doesn't seem to work with Kunena so this time, I am trying to figure out if it might be the integration plugin or something else so that I can know who to ask for help.

Just got a reply from JomSocial support so I guess it's their plugin that will get this working with kunena.

Though, I'm not sure why he references this site as well.

Which plugin is that?

There is no "compability on kunena site" (whatever that reference relates to) concerning user tagging or the business activities used at www.kunena.org which has not used JomSocial in software here for nearly two years.

Insofar as the interoperability of JomSocial with Kunena is concerned (as provided by the Kunena - JomSocial integration plugin), the Kunena team intends to maintain the existing level of integration as best as possible; there are no plans to extend the level of integration should JomSocial incorporate new features into their product. Insofar as the continued interoperability of Kunena with JomSocial is concerned, I refer you to the topic To what extent does K 3.0 support Jomsocial .

I, personally, am unaware of this feature, how it works or what it does. Perhaps another member of the community can offer us some insight into the potential usefulness of this JomSocial feature.

It's very difficult figuring out what this topic relates to. Either this topic relates to user tagging in JomSocial (in which case it has little to do with Kunena but you're still welcome to ask) or it does not. If you are seeking to extend your discussion about user tagging within Kunena I must refer you to the questions you asked last time - there has been no change in that area and that is why I asked my question in msg #2.

If you are asking a question about the operation of JomSocial features within Kunena, Kunena relies on the Kunena - JomSocial forum integration plugin for those things.

If you are having a problem with using JomSocial with your forum - and we can identify this as a Kunena issue - that's what this forum here (at www.kunena.org ) is for. I remind you that this is a forum category for users of JomSocial and Kunena to help one another; I personally do not use JomSocial and I am only trying to help moderate the discussion in order to best help you find the answer(s) that you're looking for.

Yes, that's what I was asking about. I was trying to find out who maintain this plugin, kunena or jomsocial. I think JS already confirmed that they are needing to update this plugin.

As for what tagging is, the new JS supports user tagging, similar to Facebook. When a user types @some_user_name, they receive a notice about the mention. Very useful.

*** Topic moved ***

Now that I understand the question better, I ask you again to read To what extent does K 3.0 support Jomsocial

The Kunena team maintains the Kunena - JomSocial integration plugin.

The plugin has 8 settings as shown in the image (reproduced below):



There is no setting (or support for) user tagging in this plugin.

I understand (and have some sympathy for your interest in) user tagging - I believe I expressed that in the topic I referred to in msg #2 earlier - but this does not change the situation nor am I, personally, able to offer you any further insight.

As far as I am aware "user tagging" (however it's done in other Joomla extensions) is not yet a feature of Kunena. However "user tagging" may be done with JomSocial, that's something other users of JomSocial will have to advise you as to whether you can achieve some user tagging capability for your forum needs.

Good luck.

would be super cool to be able to tag users in kunena forum.

whether this is done by the kunena team updating their integration plugin or through jomsocial team somehow, but either way would be good addition to have.

so would be good for kunena and jomsocial to talk to each other to find out how this could be achieved.

Would be super cool if we could pay someone the $1,000 it's going to cost to develop the feature, too?

Bait bait bait... yeesh, sure gets old.
