Joomla 2.6.4
Kunena 2.0.1
Jomsocial 2.4.2 & 2.6.2
Groups Forums create fine, however there are a few issues;
As mentioned earlier in other posts, Group descriptions are shown in HTML in Kunena. It was mentioned in an earlier thread that group administrators would be able to edit their forums from within Kunena 2.0 themselves. I do not see this ability? Has it been implemented or am i missing it somewhere?
A more important issue however, is that group administrators also show as forum administrators in Kunena. Within their group forum, they even have an admin tag, this is confusing to my members as they assume these tags are for site admins only. Most importantly, they also have the ability to see IP addresses when in their own forums. This
Lastly, users banned from a jomocial group have access to the groups forum. I have noticed that the reason for this, is because they are technically still group members, however they have a permissions level of -1, stopping them from seeing any group activities or from rejoining the group as they are already technically in it.
At this time, I have come up with a workaround, of creating an hourly cron to remove anyone with privileges of -1 from the #_community_groups_members table, however if the group is not set as private, they do still have the ability to rejoin, so this is not a viable long term option.
My members and I are thrilled to have the abilities to create and moderate their own forums, however these security issues are important to us and allowing the ability to see other members IP addressed is a breach of our (and most) privacy policies, so I will need to find a solution soon, or be forced to discontinue the use of this plugin.
