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

Topics must relate to a currently supported version of Kunena. If you are unsure what is the current supported version of Kunena, please go to the download page.

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.

I am looking for the proper setting to avoid showing the e-mail address of registered persons to quests. I only found the setting to show e-mailadress of registerd persons yes\no.

You cannot display email addresses if a user does not want. This option is in the "Profile -> Forum Settings" and the user must allow this itself.

Important! Always create a backup before you make any changes to your website!

Thank you Rich,I thought there would be a global setting for all forum members.

I have set mine to display it to registered members only and find that iff I look under my 'more/less' button that the envelope is not shown.
Do I fail another setting?

With the backend setting Show E-mail you can basically choose if the users may publish their addresses or not. But it would be a legal problem, when the administrator publishes user addresses without their consent.

If you set "Show only for registered users", you see the address only in the profile.

That I find is not a very smart setting. More over that there is no mouse-over on the envelope and many users- if they find the profile anyhow- have hardly an idea that one may copy/paste the email address.

I would love to see that both settings for the profile and button 'more/less' for the email works the same.

For the time being, is there code available to show under the profile the e-mail address like the website, so expand the envelope with the email address?

That is extremely dangerous and is illegal in the UK and most if not all of Europe. You cannot even write it into your terms and conditions. Registered users will have to explicitly allow it themselves. I would definitely recommend that this is not allowed in Kunena, or even Joomla. If this happened to me I would immediately tell the forum/site operator to stop and if they didn't here in the UK report to the ICO (Information Commissioners Office) who are able to take action against the site/forum operator.
