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

If you are having problems then, for your own benefit, it would save us all a lot of time if you would kindly post your configuration report when you ask for help from this forum. If you do not post your configuration report we will not ask you for it but you will probably not get your problem solved, either.

K 2.0 support will cease on 31 August 2013 and this section of the forum will be closed and archived after that time and no further questions will be answered about this version.

Question How do I limit the Karma points users can give...

How do I limit the Karma points users can give per period or per user (e.g. hr, day, week, per user)? It looks like a big way to cheat without limiting this. Is there a way to log IP addresses of clients who increase/decrease karma?

My personal opinions on Karma are well known but let me quickly summarise the main points:

(1) There is no accountability; there is no record kept of who added or subtracted Karma points; there's no way of "policing" Karma; there's no approved, recommended, non-approved, non-recommended uses of Karma.

(2) Karma is enabled by default when you first install Kunena; personally, I would disable it (but that's just my personal opinion). People can use Karma (or abuse Karma) any way they like.

(3) Although there is not a configuration setting to change it, you can extend the time between how frequently someone use (or abuses) Karma. You will need to edit the file ../components/com_kunena/controllers/user.php at around line 246 where you see
Code:
protected function karma($karmaDelta) { . . . $karma_delay = '14400'; // 14400 seconds = 6 hours
Change the value to something else. Remember, you will have to make this change every time you upgrade Kunena.

I hope this helps.
