Kunena 6.2.6 released
The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 6.2.6 [K 6.2.6] which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 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 Topic Creation Behavior and Date of Posts

For example, it would be great if I could set that new topics were only created when the first comment arrives, NOT when the article is first read (or just loaded on the front page/blog pages).
Thanks.

Would it be possible to use the article's original creation date when creating the first forum post?
Thanks for all the job done anyway!!!!

Also is there anyway to stop the actual article itself appearing - I find Kunena isn't parsing the code correctly and the articles just don't look as intended - I LOVE the concept of the discuss bot -
So in summary surely it would suit the majority better if...
a) It only created forum topics for articles with comment(s)
b) It didn't bring in and replicate the whole article (maybe just a link to it would be cool)
Great Job though!
For example:
The first line of the forum post says:
** This thread discusses the content article: (Article Title, with the title being a link back to the news article) **
And then the full article follows in the post.
But I also agree that it shouldn't populate it without someone making a comment or clicking the link to push it over.

Hope these important tweaks can be made prior to Kunena 1.6 stable....
So in summary from all points made above it's having back-end options the following. I can't help thinking that Option b in both cases would by far be preferred by almost everyone above the current behaviour of the plugin. I don't think it's just me being selfish! :sick:
1) When to create Discussion Topic for an Article?
OPTIONS:
a) Automatically when it's first read (current behaviour)
b) When the first comment is made on the article
c) For all articles created after a given date
2) What to include in the first post of the created Discussion Topic?
a) The whole article content (current behaviour)
b) A link that simply says 'The following discussion has begun based upon this article LINK'
c) Both of the above at once (presumably b before a!)
I think there should be an option to mimic the behavior of the old plugin, that is a forum post for a specific article should only be created only if the user decides to comment on an article...and this should be the default behavior in my opinion...since the majority of the sites would use this option...
I agree with this, it'll be great have this settings in back-endandy bonner wrote: ...1) When to create Discussion Topic for an Article?

Will the devs consider to implement the feature 1b (create forum thread only when the first comment is made)?rgponce wrote:

I think that this functionality should be obvious...
