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

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 Prevent View of Messages

Prevent View of Messages was created by milgaz

Hi,

I want to prevent guests from viewing the messages but also keep them to see the category and the message title. Actually, a guest should see only the titles. How do I do this?

Thanks..

This is not possible with the standard, out-of-the-box Kunena. You would have to alter the way that Kunena operates. Do you have examples of other forum software where these features are available?

yes, for example, I saw it in a turkish web site based on vbulletin.

www.medikalforum.net

I think I have to change the "view.php" in kunena and insert something like that:

$user =& JFactory::getUser();
if ($user->get('guest')) {
echo "You should register to see the content of this message";
}
else {
....(the code that is present in kunena)......

The problem is that I could not find where to place this piece of code.

Actually, another way may be this:

When you view a message as "guest", you can also see the "forum tools" on the right. If you click on "post new topic" as "guest", you get a message that you should register. I want exactly this to happen in my case.

Thanks for interest..

Hi milgaz,

there is a more ways to do this, just a quick two.

1). open the file kunena.php line 579, in this way the Guest can't see the page of the message.

/components/com_kunena/

change this

Code:

######################################################################
        case 'view':
            if (file_exists(KUNENA_ABSTMPLTPATH . '/view.php')) {
                include (KUNENA_ABSTMPLTPATH . '/view.php');
                }
            else {
                include (KUNENA_PATH_TEMPLATE_DEFAULT .DS. 'view.php');
                }

            break;

        #######################################################################

with this

Code:

######################################################################
        case 'view':
		        $hidemessage='You should register to see the content of this message';
        if ($kunena_my->get('guest')) {
        echo '<h1>'.$hidemessage.'</h1>';
        }
        else {
            if (file_exists(KUNENA_ABSTMPLTPATH . '/view.php')) {
                include (KUNENA_ABSTMPLTPATH . '/view.php');
                }
            else {
                include (KUNENA_PATH_TEMPLATE_DEFAULT .DS. 'view.php');
                }
            }

            break;

        #######################################################################

2). open the file message.php line 100, in this way the Guest see all post except the content.

/components/com_kunena/template/default_ex/

changr this

Code:

<div class = "msgtext"><?php echo $msg_text; ?></div>

with this

Code:

<div class = "msgtext">
		<?php 
		        $hidemessage='You should register to see the content of this message';
        if ($kunena_my->get('guest')) {
        echo '<h1>'.$hidemessage.'</h1>';
        }
        else {
            echo $msg_text;
            }
		?>
		</div>

Hope this helps.

Regards

Thanks in advance Moderator.

I have tried your first simple suggestion and it worked. The problem now is that when onmouseover the message title, the content can be viewed. I get rid of this by changing flat.php line 236:

<?php echo CKunenaLink::GetThreadLink('view', $leaf->catid, $leaf->id, kunena_htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($leaf->subject)), kunena_htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($messagetext[$leaf->id])) , 'follow', 'fb-topic-title fbm');?>

to

<?php echo CKunenaLink::GetThreadLink('view', $leaf->catid, $leaf->id, kunena_htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($leaf->subject)), kunena_htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($leaf->subject)), 'follow', 'fb-topic-title fbm');?>

Now, when onmouseover the message title, it shows message title.

Should I make any other changes?

Hi,

Glad to help you.

I think no. That's all. Remember, this is a hack and next time when you upgrade Kunena, need to do again.

This works ok if you want all forums to be protected, but what if there are some which you want guests to read, but others you don't?
