Kunena 6.2.5 & module Kunena Latest 6.0.7 released
The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 6.2.5 [K 6.2.5] which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 4.3.x/4.4.x/5.0.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.1 / K 6.2 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 6.2
Question [Merged topic] The great CAPTCHA problem discussion
jquery-translate wrote: Sorry, I couldn't find a category for Kunena 1.6 hacks, so I am posting here.
Here are some instruction how to enable the captcha for registered users as well with the side effect that you have to disable quick reply:
1. Install and configure captcha
2. Hack /components/com_kunena/funcs/post.php.
Add the following four lines after public function hasCaptcha() {
$user = JFactory::getUser();
if ($user->usertype == "Super Administrator" || $user->usertype == "Administrator" || $this->config->captcha == 0)
return false;
else
return true;
3. Hack /components/com_kunena/template/default/view/message.actions.php
Remove line <?php echo $this->message_quickreply; ?>
4. Hack /plugins/system/captcha.php
Add the following line before $user = &JFactory::getUser();
return true;
Hope this helps.
This didnt result in a working captcha picture for unregistered users, still the message:
The CAPTCHA plug-in is not enabled or not properly configured.

Also, I am using community builder and tried using the community builder captch plugin which works great on everything else on the site, except in the Kunena forum. I have a forum set up so that guests can view the forum and post to the forum.
However, when I check the "Enable captcha system with third party plugin" to "Yes" under the security tab in the Kunena control panel, and then go to the forum frontend and try posting as a guest and see the following where the captcha should be.
"The CAPTCHA plug-in is not enabled or not properly configured."
It would appear that no matter what captch plugin/extension I try using in the Joomla 1.6 CMS system, weather it be the community builder captch plugin or the most current joomla system captch plugin or even Joo ReCaptcha which I also tried. None of them will work with the Keunena 1.6 Component.
Any thoughts or solutions would help!

If I understand this correctly it is simply the case that there is no facility in Kunena 1.6 to provide a captcha for anonymous postings. That seems the very place where you absolutely need a captcha. :dry: The other option would obviously be to not allow anonymous postings but, unfortunately, the people I am doing this web-site for really want to anonymous postings be allowed. They think that including a captcha and requiring the poster's email address should provide sufficient security for their needs. (personally I think they're misguided)
I was misled by the field in 'Forum Configuration|Security' that says Enable captcha system with third party plugin
Ah well, perhaps if I wait patiently it might appear 'as if by magic'.
Apart from this little iss ue I think K1.6 seems a really nice piece of work.
Is that so?johntennock wrote: If I understand this correctly it is simply the case that there is no facility in Kunena 1.6 to provide a captcha for anonymous postings.
CAPTCHA is intended to be used with guest posters. I wasn't aware that we were discussing CAPTCHA for logged-in, registered uses (even those who want to remain anonymous).

This is probably correct. I only tested this for the use case where guests are not allowed to post.
I'm running Joomla 1.6.3 and Kunena 1.6.3 and the plugin recommended here
docs.kunena.org/index.php?title=How_to_p...unena_1.6&setlang=ru
is ok for Joomla 1.5.x with Kunena, it doesnt work properly for J1.6.x
Since i've not found any ready solution for J1.6.x + Kunena1.6.x i've made a simple modification of joomla captcha plugin to make it work with J1.6. until the official update will be published or another solution will appear.
if u have already installed the described joomla captcha plugin, the fastest way of making captcha work is:
1) file /plugins/system/captcha/captcha.php:
string 169
JPlugin::loadLanguage( 'plg_system_captcha', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR );
change to
$this->loadLanguage();
string 184
$enabledcaptchas = $captchaparameters->def( 'enabledcaptchas', '' );
change to
$enabledcaptchas = $captchaparameters->def( 'enabledcaptchas', 'kunena.post' );
string 430
$captcha_URI = JURI::root() . 'plugins/system/captcha/';
change to
$captcha_URI = JURI::root() . 'plugins/system/captcha/captcha/';
2) in plugin language files i.e. /administrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.plg_system_captcha.ini
replace all "#" symbols to ";" symbols
put all values into quotes. Example:
CAPTCHACODE_FORM_TITLE=Captcha code
change to
CAPTCHACODE_FORM_TITLE="Captcha code"
3) change the /plugins/system/captcha/captcha.xml file to the attached one.
Also dont forget to turn on captcha into kunena settings (security tab).
Please note, this is just a homemade temporary solution, before the respectable authors of plugin will release the official update or another captcha solution for this configuration will be released.
Please back up files (captcha.php, captcha.xml and language files) before changing them cos i had tested this only on my own site and will not have enough time to help u if any issue occure.
Regards.
here is the modified xml file for being able to edit

I finished the migration from J1.5 -> J1.6 and everything is running fine. Now I want to enable a captcha function in K1.6 to make it possible that also unregisterd users are able to write in some parts of the forum but it seems that there is no working captcha. For J1.6 I am using EasyCalcCheck PLUS - ECC+. Does someone know a soloution or will one of the next versions of Kunena have a captcha function?
Regards
Inlinerbutch
Kunena has been designed to support only this catpcha plugin : code.google.com/p/joomla15captcha/ , the problem is this plugin works only in J1.5. So, we need to change how to work kunena to leverage the captcha plugin which is present on your installation.
I don't provide support by PM, because this can be useful for someone else.
