This is important information for all users of JomSocial and Kunena.
Kunena,
before K 3.0, included the means to optionally download and install several add-on features developed by the Kunena team. These additional features were:
- My Kunena Plug-in for JomSocial
- Kunena Menu Plug-in for JomSocial
- Kunena Groups Plug-in for JomSocial
At various times throughout the development of
Kunena, there have also been other products developed by the team with
JomSocial in mind. These features were developed by the Kunena team to be used primarily with the Kunena website at a time when
JomSocial was used at this site. When the team decided not to continue to use
JomSocial at this site, the continued interest in, and activity with, these add-ons also gradually faded.
When we removed JomSocial
from this site a year ago, the Kunena team continued to update those add-ons (for the remainder of K 2.0) that we had used here for the benefit of people who used
JomSocial on their sites. This was done without any partnership with, or financial assistance from, members of this community or the JomSocial team.
A decision was taken during the development of K 3.0 to cease making these
add-ons
for
JomSocial. This decision was based on the available time required and to ensure that K 3.0 would be delivered as soon as possible. When the decision was made, Kunena team members approached the JomSocial developers and made available all the source code that was used to make these
add-ons
. That is where the
Kunena teams' responsibility should end.
With K 2.0.4 at end of life,
support
for that version will be decommissioned shortly. The
Kunena team announced a while ago that updating the
JomSocial-related plugins and modules
would be taken over by the
JomSocial developers (assuming, of course, it is in the interests of the JomSocial development team to do that). Therefore, the Kunena team has no intention of updating, fixing or dealing with issues arising from the use of the
JomSocial-related add-ons that were available (at no cost) from this website.
K 2.0.4 will remain available for downloads (for those who require it) but it will be offered "as is" and, after 31 August this year, the categories that relate to K 2.0.4 will be closed from further discussion.
We understand that some people may be disappointed but these are the facts. People need also to understand that
www.kunena.org
is not the "support forum" for
JomSocial. If people would like assistance in connection with the
Kunena add-ons developed for
JomSocial (or if they have their own ideas how best to adapt these add-ons) then they are advised to either
a) wait patiently for others in this community to provide relevant information; or
b) contact
JomSocial
to enquire about what plans
they have for the
Kunena-related add-ons that may be used with their software.
