Merged Kunena Latest module does not show latest posts from topics in restricted categories if the user has not logged-in first

My average user visit the home page and login only if he sees new downloads, new pictures, new posts. I have a module that shows latest downloads, but you can download them only if logged. In the same way I would like to have a module that shows that there are latest posts, but you can read them only if logged in. I don't mind if a guest is able to see that there are a post titled "summer 2013 camp" or "tips on movies" or whatelse...

My answer is the same as before.

If you want the members of your forum to have private discussions (that is, the topics cannot be viewed or replied to unless your users are logged in) then that's the way that Kunena Latest module will also work.

The Kunena Latest module does not show information about topics in private/restricted categories unless your users are logged-in to your site. This is normal.

If you want to allow guests to view "private" discussions that's a whole different question but I do not have any other answer for you except to tell you that it's not possible. The easiest way to resolve the issue is to put a notice on your site that says something like this:

Our forum contains topics that can only be viewed if you are logged-in first. If you want to see the latest messages posted on our forum then please create an account and log in to the site to see them.

This will solve the problem at zero cost to you.

The other way of solving this problem is to make your categories public. Topics in public categories can be viewed without being logged-in but people will need to login if they want to respond to them. Public categories will be displayed by the Kunena Latest module without having to be logged-in. This solution also costs nothing and requires no special programming changes.

Can the latestmodule be like in the following graphic?

Joomla 5.1.26 or ....

English only in this category please. Please remain on topic.

hi,
My website is in portuguese so i dont know accurately the name of the module but i have it in my main page and it shows the 3 last topics made by users in forum. The problem is if you are not login in the site it doesnt show the topics (the forum is only for registered ppl) but i want unregistered ppl to see the topics and if they click them they go to the topic or to the login screen. I cant find that option so every one can see the topics in the module.
hope i made my self clear.
