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 contains miscellaneous, uncategorised user contributions, (templates, modules, plugins and hacks) relating to older versions of Kunena that are no longer supported.
The topics in this category are for historical interest only. Owing to the structural changes that occurred in K 1.7, many of the ideas in these topics will not work with later versions and, for that reason, the topics are locked.
Guys I have analyzed Kunena 1.6 code and we can do whatever you want, the problem is "the clean way of doing it"
I explain. We could do
A ) Hack Kunena parser so that whenever you attach an mp3 files it will display both download link AND 1pixelout audio player. So that users don't have to write any special code.
B ) Avoid using base directory in 1pixelout plugin config and create a new button in post editor that embeds mp3 files by giving correct full path
C my favourite) Create a new button in post editor that lists with a select box all the mp3 files uploaded by the user in his attachment directory and he may select whatever he wants among his mp3 attachments, after selecting it embeds a player instance with the selected mp3.
The only problem with all these solutions is that they are all "hacks" to Kunena code... I don't like hacks for obvious reasons. I have been searching a bit but I could not find any way to "cleanly" add a custom button to Kunena without hacking it's code files... so I am asking to you Kunena experts if there's a clean way to do it
I think noone likes hacks, that is why Kunena Team should express itself.
P.s. in my opinion A solution is the most comfortable.
Maybe it is a good way to prepare hacks, (like it was with hack poll) and some day it will be implemented into Kunena source code permanently.
4 me A is good and simple. if the plug is included automatically is very simple and clean.
B is also a good option. Because can be a different thing for adding mp3 files.
But in B what change is that is a involve of kunena. New kunena 1.6 adds the Ajax upload files to manage more files in one single post.... Or you have to separate and rebuild a code like this.
C is very powerful and cool. the best but wait!
Kunena 1.6 now use user ID subfolders... That thing can be read as "Kunena Team want to develop a files manager for the users in next versions".
We come from kunena 1.5 without any User ID settings for the file but only attached to the Post Number in database.
So what i think is that.
Use the A option for now. because is simple to use and use the default uploder of kunena 1.6 + your hack.
C option is a final option to include in the Kunena Files Manager, but for that is a part of Kunena Team. If they support this project i hope that it will be included as support of your plugin into kunena code. But creating a file broswer perhaps is a part of the team, because i think this must be definitively included into kunena code as a new feature.
So if A option hack is done. in the near future we can have your hack + kunena files manager.
Ps: Please kunena team watch this thread!!:woohoo:
Adding BBCode tag to Kunena is very easy. Adding it to the editor is also easy. I just need to get the logic inside the bbcode (best way to call 1pixelout) and a free version of it to test it.
EDIT: even better: why not have the logic inside attachment tags?
Happy to see a Kunena developer here... I wanted to say that I successfully implemented solution A about 1 week ago and I sent the code modification to that guy of Samples Share who contacted me privately for this thing... I was waiting for him to test it before publishing here yet he seems to have forgot all of us...
