Kunena 6.4.8 Released

The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 6.4.8 [K 6.4.8] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 5.0.x/5.1.x/5.2.x/5.3.x/5.4.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 6.4
Important note: Go to the Kunena Dashboard after an upgrade so that the Kunena database tables are also updated. This is particularly necessary for major version jumps so that the table changes are adapted.

Topics that are moved into this category are generally considered to be closed. Users may want to add additional information but these topics should not be resurrected in order to discuss new problems or unrelated matters.

I wasn't being sarcastic at all. I was making absolutely sure that I understood the problem correctly. Let me put this into perspective for you: if you were to provide me with the details of an account at your website and I tried to login, and my login was successful, what conclusions could I draw from that experience?

If, on the other hand, I was to try to login with your account and, like you, I failed, then I would have to agree with you that there's an issue with your ability to login. We need to identify the specific problem. If there's a problem with your login, what's different about it compared with someone else's login? No sarcasm here; it's all perfectly reasonable problem analysis.

I'm just trying to make sure I know what kind of problem we're dealing with. Is this a Kunena problem, a Joomla problem or a "something else" problem (e.g. the browser). You see, we could be dealing with dozens of possible factors and we need to eliminate all the possibilities until, as Sherlock Holmes said, "whatever is left, no matter how improbable, is the solution".

I understand, but sometimes not talking face to face and smileys make it difficult to "read" the way something was intended. But I have a thick skin and even if it was sarcasm I don't mind. You guys deal with enough people and issues in one day.

For that same reason now I'm back from work I started to test things myself to try to help identify if this is something I do wrong or if this is coming from another direction.

Macbook Pro 01 / Mountain Lion

  • Before Mountain Lion (and older versions of Safari, Chrome and Firefox) everything worked fine. Also in the configuration I send you first.
  • After update Mountain Lion (Safari 6.x, Firefox 14.0.x and Chrome 21.0.1180.57) it stopped working. Even if I choose another username it jumps back to the first and does not log in.

  • Macbook Pro 02 / Mountain Lion

  • Before Mountain Lion (and older versions of Safari, Chrome and Firefox) everything worked fine. Also in the configuration I send you first.
  • After update Mountain Lion (Safari 6.x and Chrome 21.0.1180.57) it stopped working. Even if I choose another username it jumps back to the first and does not log in.
  • Firefox on this system is still version 12.x and does work fine with both of my accounts.

  • Macbook 03 / Lion

  • Safari 5.x, Chrome and Firefox 3.0.x all work fine.

  • Working my wat through this and disabling plugins I think solved the situation. I have a plugin installed called EU e-Privacy Directive and is meant to make my website compliant with the European Cookie Law. What I noticed was that on all the browsers showing this problem, the Cookie Warning was not showing. Disabling this immediately made the login form back working. Maybe a login cookie was being blocked? But still this only happens with new browsers and only on the new Mountain Lion.

    Again, it seems like the problem wasn't Kunena. Thanks so far and sorry for taking your time.

    I, too, noticed the "cookie monster" javascript and I was also considering whether this may have been the culprit. What now has me intrigued in this case if why you are reporting a problem with the Kunena Login module when I cannot find where you have published the Kunena Login module on your site and, therefore, how any of the issues you reported come into play.

    If your users login to your site using the forum on the forum (on the site home page) and they never see the Kunena Login module, then you don't even need the Kunena Login module and it will probably be one less headache for you if you uninistall the Kunena Login module. Yes?

    The reviews for EU e-Privacy Directive seem quite up-beat and so I don't quite know how to explain how Kunena is involved. The question we need to resolve is whether you're using the Kunena Login module or you're just using the normal login form that appears at the top of the Kunena forum page. That's really the question here. :)

    I only use the one on top of my forum so this is the non-Kunena one making this also a non-Kunena issue. First of all, I'm happy this one got solved. Now I think it's time to report the issues I've had to the Cookie Plugins developer.

    Then this has nothing to do with the separately-installed Kunena Login module. You can safely uninstall the Kunena Login module because you are not using it. :)
