Question KunenaLatest Topic first post

I have tried loads of combinations but I cannot seem to get the Kunenalatest 1.6.2 module to show the original post text of Latest Topics.
It always seems to show the post text of the latest post to a topic rather than the text of the original topic post like the old latest module did.
Can you please help me?

Joomla 1.5.22
Kunena 1.6.3
Kunena Latest 1.6.2

The only difference that I can see between 'Latest Topics' and 'Latest Posts' in the 'Module Output' is the 'Re:' before the output !

G'day, Mike. I'm trying to understand what is the problem here.

I see that you are trying to use the Kunena Latest module. Even though I have not used the Kunena Latest module myself, and I don't know very much about it, in my simple, intuitive understanding of the words "Kunena Latest module" I would have thought that the purpose of this module was to display the latest messages posted on your forum. That's what I would have thought.

I don't know much about "the old latest module" except that, until K 1.6, there has never been such a module that was endorsed, supported or maintained by the Kunena project.

So, I will repeat my question: what is your specific problem with how the Kunena Latest module was designed to work?

While we have your attention, please look at your K 1.6 configuration report and attend to all the issues shown in red font. In particular, please read the very important information about using legacy mode and stop using legacy mode as soon as possible,

You also have some issue involving uddeIM. You should fix that too.

G'day and thanks for your quick reply sozzled.

I will attend to the issues in the K 1.6 configuration report; I first ran it just before posting this topic.

What I would LIKE to show is the first post (original) of the Latest Topic so that my members can see what the Topic is about.
The module appears to show the last post of the Latest Topic.

I do realise that the module may well be doing exactly what it was intended to do.

If I could be pointed towards where the post is selected, in which file, then I may well be able to adapt it myself. My concern here is that I do still want to show the single latest post from a Topic when the module is set to 'Latest Posts'!

Thanks again,

... but that's not what the module is supposed to do, is it? You want to see the latest post, then you use the Kunena Latest module. If you want to show the context, then let people click the link in the Kunena Latest module and they will be able to view the post within the context of the topic. I still don't quite understand what you want changed in the way that the Kunena Latest module currently works.

Perhaps you are confusing the Kunena Latest module with the RSS feed options? There are options in the RSS feed that allow you to see the original message that relates to topics that have been recently updated with new postings. Does this help?

I do appreciate now that what I am asking for is not what the module was intended to do but would like some help to maybe adapt it.

The module offers a choice of what to display:

1. Latest Topics
2. Latest Posts
3. No Replies
4. Category Subscriptions
and more options...

What I would like to show when the 'Latest Topic' option is selected is the 'Latest Topic' post rather than the latest reply to that topic. My desire is to show visitors what the latest topics on my site are.

Does anybody have a suggestion as to how I can adapt the module please?

Hello,

New to this forum and to using Kunena. I am using joomla 1.5.23 with Kunena 1.6 and the newest Lastest Topic module.

So far I am liking everything just fine, it's easy to set up, and although the site really isn't live for posting yet, it seems to be working as I'd hoped.

My only question about this module is it is showing the most latest posts as it should but when I login to the forum - the posts go away and it says there are no post to display. I am not sure why this is and have been unable to find a solution.

Can you possibly help me out?

Thanks.
