Kunena 7.0.2 Released

The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 7.0.2 [K 7.0.2] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 5.3.x/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.

Maszek: I understand what you are saying (about the plethora of configuration settings). But, when you consider, that Kunena works immediately if you make no changes at all, it's not that difficult to set everything back to the original settings and then you can forget about the "extras".

The difficulty is that while there are people who do not need all of the additional extras we have been untiringly requested by many others who have requested even more additional extras. Therefore, the problem is to find a happy medium between a "basic" web-based discussion forum and one that is more "advanced". I'm sure you appreciate the difficult position that this puts us in.

This forum is a community-driven, self-help resource. As far as possible, we encourage everyone in the community to help one another. Obviously - and as you already know - there is no company behind Kunena; everyone who contributes to Kunena is a hobbyist, enthusiast or professional web developer who gives their time freely to this project - volunteers every one of us. Our hope is to make Kunena the most reliable, scalable, durable and robust forum component for Joomla that we can make it and to give people the best solution to meeting their forum needs. The forum is a self-help community-driven resource for users to help one another. Our job, in moderating the forum, is not necessarily to answer every question but, rather, to point people in the right direction where they can find the answers.

Because Kunena is a free product - free to download, freely distributed under the terms of the GPL licence - and open source, this means that we will always try to do our best to resolve genuine, identifiable and reproducible issues so that the whole community benefits ... not just the few people who may experience problems from time to time. But, sometimes, this is not always easy to achieve. As I have mentioned on previous occasions, unique problems require unique solutions.

We have not seen this issue here at www.kunena.org . If someone does find an issue here then we will investigate the cause. This basically means that we are satisfied that K 2.0.2 is a reliable product that should work every time straight "out of the box". But we also recognise that many people do not want a vanilla-flavoured website like everyone else's and that's what the community is here to help with: help others who want to use Kunena that benefits us all.

Please do not doubt my sincerity or my understanding of your problem. Joomla is not 3-mouseclicks-and-hey-presto-I-have-a-website. I have invested hundreds of hours learning how things work. Not everyone has the luxury of time that I have. But, for those who are hard-pressed for time, there are always other alternatives.

Perhaps Kunena is not for you? I would be disappointed if that was the only conclusion but it's one I think we can all accept. We're doing our best but our time is limited too. :)

Hi Sozzled,

The only reason why I even bothered to post my problem here is to give the developers an opportunity to learn from users of their product and effort.

I fully appreciate the expectations related with a free of charge product. In general, it requires additional effort and I do that with the same enthusiasm as many others here do (and to beat the corporates, to remain independent, or just 'to speak'!). This is hard enough, since most followers of my website prefer to vent their opinions on Facebook. Quite a competition to deal with.

I am not going to change to another forum, since migrating to anything else is bound to give me real headaches.
I can get over the disappointment of losing a topic, I find it more troubling that the system is not 'robust' enough to help site administrators avoid getting into such issues. This is the underlying concern for me.

Meanwhile, I've managed to re-open the topic by selecting the topic in the front end, choose action-->approve selected. It contained two posts, the latter of which was restored, the first one isn't visible in the front end at all. Strange enough, the post is visible in the sql database and the file referred to in the first post is present on the server.

So this explains the reason why "you do not have permissions to access this page"! Eureka! People were trying to access a topic that was awaiting your approval.

There you go! A perfectly logical explanation for everything. Nothing non-robust about this at all. It shows that the system is working perfectly! :)

I'd say half perfectly, because not all posts in the topic were recovered. The question why this has happened to old posts that were already open to visitors remains unanswered as well.

Other than that, wouldn't it make sense to have a (system) notification for visitors to a post which has access denied that "This post needs to be approved by the moderator!"?

It would have prevented me writing at least four post in this thread.

Another thing for your wish list, perhaps!
