Kunena 5.2 Beta 1 Released (24 Sep 2020)

The Kunena team is thrilled to announce the first public beta release of Kunena 5.2, a native Joomla extension for Joomla 3.9. This is a development release and should be only be used for testing; this version is not recommended for live websites at this stage.

The purpose of this release is to encourage testing by downloading, installing and identifying any problems or shortcomings that people may discover. K 5.2.0 B1 is stable and we are aware that people will discover defects. We encourage you to use the forum to report defects, as soon as they are discovered, so that the development team can work through the problems before the release of K 5.1 as a stable product. Reporting defects does not mean that the problems can or will be fixed. The Kunena team is looking forward to hearing your feedback on how well we have achieved our design goals.

Hello,

This isn't configurable it's hardcoded in some differents places

I don't provide support by PM, because this can be useful for someone else.

The problem has never occurred before in earlier versions of Kunena. I don't like the way that Kunena now truncates attachment filenames two the last three characters plus the filename extension.

In my opinion, this change is a design defect — no question about it.

Would it be easy to edit the code?

xillibit, thank you.

Can you give me a clue where can I find this part of the code that handles the change of the filename?

I have a problem that utf8 characters are not shown in the link so i get no links at all if all the filename is in Hebrew.

Thanks,
Omri

So I decided to disable the shorten file names and it's also solved the problem I had with the missing characters in Hebrew.

in libraries/kunena/attachment/attachment.php

line 466:

replace: $output=substr($filename,0,$front).$filler.substr($filename,$len-$back,$back);
with: $output=$filename;

This issue has not been included in GitHub as far as I can tell. If it has been listed as something to be looked at, what is the GitHub reference, please.
