Kunena 6.3.7 Released

The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 6.3.7 [K 6.3.7] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 4.4.x/5.0.x/5.1.x/5.2.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.2 / K 6.3 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 6.3
Note: Please go to the Kunena Dashboard after an upgrade so that the Kunena database tables are also updated.

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.

Getting back to the topic: I really need to know the answer to this question:

Let's say we have a topic in a category where you use "Review Posts = Yes" with more than one message already posted, approved, and visible. Let's say, for argument's sake you have 35 replies in it. Now someone else posts a reply into that topic. What I want to know is this: What happens when other people try to access the other 35 posts? Do they get the message "you do not have permissions to access this page" on every page in that topic? Do you understand my question?

The category and all the previously approved posts remain perfectly visible. At least in my forum (and apart from the unexplained anomaly referred to above).

This is really the crux of the matter. While we may now have an explanation, in this particular case, for "you do not have permissions to access this page" messages but I also believe that we eliminated the likelihood that there's an ongoing serious functional defect in the Kunena product in new installations. That is good news.

We have had an interesting discussion. As you can see - and others will also see - getting to the root of the "randomness" of less-than-helpful messages like "you do not have permissions to access this page" is not always straightforward and these things require scientific evaluation of all the available evidence. My main concern, in dealing with the topic, focused on the word "sometimes".

In a community-driven, self-help forum, it's really very difficult to reach the heart of a problem quickly. Obviously we would have gotten there sooner if this had been done one-on-one but I have to agree that we've now reached the point where we cannot go further in this particular case. I also think we would both agree that the issue is not critical and that most features in the affected forum function satisfactorily (for the greater part) but that there will be anomalous issues arising from time to time that will need to be managed as and when they arise.

As far as "self-help" is concerned, this really means that we point out the general [theoretical] approach but that we may not always be able to provide specific answers that target every individual case that arises.

I've asked the testing team to review this topic. I've also asked the development team to look into this matter, too. We appreciate the solid constructive feedback we've received. What happens next I cannot say at this time.

Eventually, I figured out how to re-create the post myself in the SQL database. I taught myself how to recognise the tables in the backup .SQL-file and look for strings that I needed to locate the missing post. I had a back-up version from a couple of months ago which allowed me copy-paste the text.
It was interesting because all db entries for the post were present (_kunena_attachement; _kunena_categories; kunena_messages; kunena_topics) except the one for kunena_messages_text.

I saved you the trouble and myself the money and I am more equipped the next time to do this on my own. Needless to say that me consultancy fee has increased a bit tonight!

It works fine now,thanks to Maszek:

After reading his post,i checked kunena_messages_text table and noticed that it was crashed so a little repair solved my problem.

Any way problem solved

I have the same issue on my forum for 2-3 days now. I've reset Kunena settings to default but doesn't work. I just had the issue myself and after clicking submit I get redirected to : roadsterclub.be/index.php/forum which I cannot access any more.

Here are my configuration settings:

Category permissions are defined using the Kunena Category Manager. Overall access permissions to your site are defined in Joomla ACL management and the two functions work together. If you have added or changed any Joomla ACL definitions then this may explain why you are getting the [unhelfpul] message "You do not have permissions to access this page."

Further to your issues, you have defined settings in the Kunena - AlphaUserPoints plugin but you do not have AUP installed on your site. You should disable all those settings. You also have Kunena Search 1.7.1 installed; please read msg #1 of If you are having problems with Kunena, please read this first ; upgrade this module or uninstall it.

Last of all, your menu is very complicated and this may explain the problems you now have. Try using the basic Kunena menu and see if this helps to resolve your current problems. For further information, the topic The Kunena 2.0 Menu will help.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but my problem is very similar. When users try to subscribe to a thread or put it in their favorites, they get "Access Denied - You do not have permissions to access this page". It doesn't happen to all our users, but several of them have reported this behavior.

I have tried turning off Kunena cache, and have run a check and repair database through my cPanel. Neither of them worked.
