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

This category is for the module developed, endorsed, maintained and supported by the Kunena project team. The topics in this category only relate to the plugin developed for K 2.0.

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.

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.

Dear Sozzled,
Although for some of us (including me) English is not the native language, I see that many other users have the same problem as I have.
I want 'private discussions' in the forum, meaning that only registered users can see the discussions and participate.
BUT, for 'marketing purposes' (as others stated), it would be nice if the latest moduled would show the latest topics for ALL. Just to trigger users to become member and participate.
I do this with 'latest comments' and 'latest downloads'. Works great, but not for Kunena!
I feel that this does not compromise the security-basics. Just add an option in the latest module (instead of using the category-settings of the component) for a permissions setting for the module.
So guests can see a topic and not a full-blown discussion! It will trigger their attention and stimulate a membership. That's called marketing and has nothing to do with security.
If a non-registered user clicks on one of the latest-links, a login-screen is displayed. Simple as that.
Many other components work like this, but you keep on being reluctant for reasons unknown to me.
Please reconsider, because Kunena is the best forum available otherwise.

Mark

This is not possible to do in Kunena as it compromises the Joomla security model.

On a related subject, about encouraging users to join your website to see all the wonderful discussions that your members are having in the forum, see Teasers - Read post titles without being able to read posts . This facility is also not implemented in the currently-available versions of Kunena at this time.

It's a good idea, perhaps, but it's not possible to do achieve this without a lot of work and keep everyone happy at the same time. Sorry.
