Solved [Merged topic] Kunena Latest doesn't display posts to visitors

sozzled wrote: Based on those values, if the same guest visits, from the same PC, and there's been a post made in between when they logged out and when they refreshed the page, they might see something on the "latest posts" module; most of the time the Kunena Latest module will show nothing. Choose a different value (e.g. last week, last month, etc.). If the cache is on, turn it off.

Kunena Latest module: Module Parameters » Time Period = Since last visit

The above setting is only useful (perhaps) for logged-in registered members, not for guest visitors. When you think about it, how would the system know when the same guest last visited your site when there is no record kept of that guest's "visit"?

i've changed it to one month and now guests can see the posts
thanks for the help

I'm having the same issue, but my settings seem fine. public users cannot see the posts!

Two questions:

Can guests view topics in forum itself?
Have you any posts written in last month? (another setting)

For some reason I was having the same exact problem. I stayed logged in this whole time not knowing that non logged in users could not see my forum. :whistle: For some reason even when going through all the permissions and such it still does not display to the public.

But after experimenting with the category permissions when I change it from "User Groups" to "Access Level" it suddenly works! (with setting it to public of course) But I don't understand why using "User Groups" does not work for non logged in users. :huh:

I think I know why...

There are 4 fields for user groups; primary & secondary group/children. Both are effective, so if you have wrong group in secondary field, all users can see the topics.

Hi! Sorry for my bad english!
I have a similar issue. With cache activated the module kunena latest don't show latest post to visitors but only to registered members. Visitors see an old cached version never refreshed. I have to manually clear the cache!

I don't know PHP programming but i have solved the issue modyfing mod_kunenalatest.php removing the "basic caching" fo visitors in this way:


// Add basic caching for visitors (3 minutes)

$klatest = new modKunenaLatest ( $params );

// $user = JFactory::getUser();
// if (!$user->id) {
// $cache = JFactory::getCache('mod_kunenalatest', 'output');
// $cache->setLifeTime(180);
// if ($cache->start(md5(serialize($params)), 'mod_kunenalatest')) return;
// }

$klatest->display();

// if (!$user->id) {
// $cache->end();
// }
