Idea Re: Jomsocial and Kunena questions

Hello Sozzled,

I am allready upgraded to the latest version which is 1.5.11. I should have mentioned that in the beginning of my post.

2°) You need to enable the activity stream in kunena configuration panel and look this : joomlacode.org/gf/project/kunena/frs/?ac...&frs_package_id=5011

Thank you. Question number 2 is solved.

I have created a test account for you guys so you can try out what goes wrong in question number 3. The username is test and password is also test.

The account isn't enabled

I inspected a couple of pages at the user's website but I did not see evidence of the avatar image problem; I was probably looking in the wrong places. We also need to remember that the site under discussion does not using the standard Kunena default_ex template. Although the template being used at Lord Zedd's website looks OK (from the few pages that I saw) is it really fully-compatible with K 1.5.11?

This is one of the major pitfalls of Kunena and one of the main reasons why I don't make too many changes to Kunena. Because Kunena has changed so many times in the past 12 months (there have been something like 15 releases!) by the time you've tested the latest version in a test environment, worked your way through the hundreds of so-called "problems" that people report (most of these aren't bug reports, they're mainly problems caused by issues outside Kunena), satisfied yourself that the latest version is safe to use, customised it to your own personal taste and installed it ... the next version has already been released! In other words, you're continually playing a game of catching up! :ohmy:

For various reasons I simply don't have the time any more to make changes to Kunena because, for every change I make, I have to keep records what and how to do it all over again when the next version comes out.

This may be the case for this problem. When I wrote that the avatar image problem was known in K 1.5.9, I was referring to what I wrote in 1.5.9 - Known issues . In K 1.5.9 we received numerous questions about wrongly-sized avatar images if users integrated Kunena with Community Builder. I don't recall any problems with JomSocial.

So, while I don't know anything about JomSocial, I'm looking only one aspect of the problem: the avatar image size issue. Cerberus wrote earlier that this is a JomSocial matter and that Lord Zedd should take his question up with them. That's a good idea. Has the question been asked? What was the answer?

But, by the same token, whenever you "customise" software to suit your own personal tastes you jeopardise its integrity.

So, in conclusion, let me ask this one important question: does the avatar image size problem occur when you use the standard, unmodified Kunena default_ex template on the website? If there is no problem then we know where the cause is, don't we?

Until we get an answer to this question, anything else we write is just guesswork on our part.

Sorry. I thought I had done that. It is now enabled.
