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 figured it out so here is a report and a fix

Bug Report — Fatal error when editing user profile (social fields undefined)

Kunena version: 6.4.7
Joomla version: 5.4.0
PHP version: 8.3.27
Database: MariaDB 10.5.29
Template: NTS KBee (no social options exposed)
Site: (redacted)

Summary

When accessing Kunena → Edit Profile, the page shows warnings related to undefined social objects.
When clicking Save, Kunena throws a fatal error:

Attempt to assign property "value" on string
components/com_kunena/src/Controllers/UserController.php:596


The system appears to expect $socials[$key] to be an object with →value, but it is actually being returned as a string, causing assignment to fail.

Visible Front-End Warning

Before saving, Kunena outputs warnings such as:

Warning: Attempt to read property "value" on string
/components/com_kunena/template/nts_kbee/layouts/user/edit/profile/default.php on line 129


Because:

$this->socials[$key]->value


…is not an object.

Fatal Error on Save

From:

components/com_kunena/src/Controllers/UserController.php

Offending block:

foreach($socials as $key => $social) {
if ($input->$method->get('social'.$key, '', 'string') !== null) {
$socials->$key->value = $input->$method->get('social'.$key, '', 'string');
}
}


This results in:

Attempt to assign property "value" on string


because $socials->$key is a string, not an object.

Root Cause

KunenaUserSocials::getInstance($user->userid) returns an array of strings, not objects, so:

$social->value is invalid

$socials->$key->value = … is invalid

The template expects objects, but the controller receives strings.

Temporary Workaround

Disable the social processing block in UserController.php:

/*
foreach($socials as $key => $social) {
if ($input->$method->get('social'.$key, '', 'string') !== null) {
$socials->$key->value = $input->$method->get('social'.$key, '', 'string');
}
}
$socials->save();
*/


This prevents the fatal error, but profile social fields are currently unusable.

Expected Behavior

Kunena should either return social objects with →value
or

The controller should not try to access →value on string data
or

Social fields should be fully disabled when not available in template configuration

Request

Please update the KunenaUserSocials model and/or UserController so that:

$socials[$key] is always an object with a value property
OR

The controller checks is_object() before assignment
OR

Social fields are disabled gracefully when no social configuration exists in the template

Controller patch (fix fatal, keep backward compatibility)

File:

components/com_kunena/src/Controllers/UserController.php

Current block (around line 591):

// Save values entered by user for the social
$socials = KunenaUserSocials::getInstance($user->userid);

foreach($socials as $key => $social) {
if ($input->$method->get('social'.$key, '', 'string') !== null) {
$socials->$key->value = $input->$method->get('social'.$key, '', 'string');
}
}

$socials->save();

First of all you are using a third party Kunena template, so you should bring this problem to the attention of developers. 
Furthermore your database collation is wrong, so you should fix that.
And I see errors in your menu structure, so please check that as well.
See also this topic.

@drbo It is very difficult (if not impossible) to help someone who does not accept advice. Your database tables still have the wrong collation, just like three months ago, and your main menu still contains the same incorrectly created Kunena menu items. As long as these errors cannot be corrected and excluded as error rates, there is little point in discussing further problems.
Important! Always create a backup before you make any changes to your website!
