Kunena 7.0.4 Released

The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 7.0.4 [K 7.0.4] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 5.4.x/6.0.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.2 / K 6.3 / K 6.4 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 7.0

This category contains miscellaneous, uncategorised user contributions, (templates, modules, plugins and hacks) relating to older versions of Kunena that are no longer supported.

This category may also contain a few topics relating to K 1.6 that may have been moved here possibly by mistake.

The topics in this category are for historical interest only. Owing to the structural differences between K 1.6 and K 1.7, these ideas in these topics will not work with later versions and, for that reason, the topics are locked.

Question Enhanced Kunena RSS Feed

I use Google Reader to keep track of my site and I wanted to have a feed that parses more than just the text of a post - but displays links, images, and even things like bold or quotes. I have migrated to Kunena from phpBB2 and so I used some code from that installation plus some custom code to create a more advanced Kunena RSS Feed. This new feed parses the following bbcode tags into HTML in the feed:
- newlines, a, u, b, i, quote, code, img, spoiler
All other bbcode decays nicely into plain text. Any bbcode that contains urls (besides images) like a youtube video will decay nicely into a link. In order to use this enhanced RSS Feed generator on your Kunena install, simply replace the default kunena.rss.php file in /components/com_kunena/lib/ with the attached one.

Here's an example of the feed . To see what this feed looks like in a RSS reader, try this demo .

Let me know if you have any questions or enhancements to add! Update: You can download the current version in this post.

Installation:
Unzip the archive and you will find two files - one for Joomla 1.0.x and one for Joomla 1.5.x. Rename the one for your version of Joomla to "kunena.rss.php" and upload it to your /components/com_kunena/lib/ folder. Then, have a look at the file - you can edit a couple lines at the top:
Code:
$selectCategories = true; // set this to true to enable output of only select categories $seo = false; // set this to true if you have SEO enabled in your Joomla Config // if you set selectCategories to true, you may want to exclude some private or test forums // you can do this by adding values to the array below for the Category Titles. // An example is array("My Private Forum", "Admin Section"); $exclude_these_categories = array("Private Forum", "Another Private Forum");

Changelog:
Updated 3-23-09: added support for the [ url ] tag
Updated 6-16-09: converted a fresh Kunena 1.0.10 kunena.rss.php file to the enhanced version to ensure compatibility with the newer versions of Kunena
Updated 7-14-09: separate files: one for Joomla 1.5 and one for Joomla 1.0
Updated 9-22-09: much better support for Kunena 1.5.x
Updated 9-28-09: bugfix in the Joomla 1.5 version that fixes broken links to posts in the feed
Updated 1-21-10: added better seo/no seo support

Very nice work - Thank you very much for sharing!

It's too late for it to make it into the pending 1.0.8 version, but I will see if we can add it to 1.1

Thx!

Thanks everyone! I'm honored to be able to contribute to this fantastic forum solution! For adding it to 1.1, I also included some code for parsing additional, more obscure tags so if someone thinks those would be useful they can be added as well. I am really impressed by all the rich features and yet ease of use of Kunena!
