Joomla 6.x • Kunena 7.x • 9 Event Types

Most Kunena forums feel static and disconnected. Members post, nobody responds, and the community slowly fades. Kunena Mention bridges that gap — when someone is @mentioned, they know instantly. No email setup required. No template patching. Just install and your forum comes alive.

Powerful Mention Types
Go beyond simple @username. Reach the right people with precision.

@username
@author
@everyone
@participants
@moderator
@admin
@followers

Features That Matter
Every feature is designed to increase engagement without adding complexity.

Instant Bell Notifications
A beautiful bell icon appears beside the login button. Unread count shown in real-time with smooth animations. Click to view, mark as read, or navigate directly to the post.

Toast Alerts
Non-intrusive popup notifications slide in from the corner when new mentions arrive. Clickable, dismissable, and staggered for multiple mentions.

Email Notifications
Optional email alerts with editable subject/body templates. Admins can choose immediate delivery or batch into daily/weekly digest. Uses Joomla's built-in mailer — no SMTP needed.

Colored Badge Styling
Each mention type gets its own color — configurable in the admin panel. @admin in dark gray, @everyone in red, @moderator in purple. Or use plain links.

Smart Autocomplete
Type @ and get instant suggestions. Navigate with arrow keys, select with Enter. Works with CKEditor, SCEditor, and plain textareas. Hide login usernames for security.

Deep-Linked Notifications
Every notification links directly to the exact post — with correct pagination. No more "scroll to find it" frustration. Works across categories and topics.

Rate Limiting
Prevent mention abuse with per-sender cooldowns and per-topic @everyone limits. Configurable intervals from 10 seconds to 1 hour.

Hover Preview
Hover over any @mention link to see a tooltip with the post snippet. Know what the conversation is about before clicking through.

Tab Title Badge
See unread notification count in the browser tab title — even when the forum isn't in focus. Like Gmail, but for your forum.

User Opt-Out
Let users who don't want mentions opt out. Admins and super users always stay connected. Configurable per user group.

Diagnostics Report
One-click downloadable ZIP with styled HTML report, config dump, and debug log. Troubleshoot issues without touching the database.

Zero Template Patching
Runtime CSS/JS injection — works on any Kunena template without modifying template.php. Install and forget.

Forum Event Notifications
Beyond @mentions — keep your community informed about every important forum activity.

Complimentary Event Coverage
Every toggle is individually configurable. Enable only the events your community needs.
