Question JomSocial and Kunena Profile Integration

Version 4.0 Release


This is the STABLE release of version 3.3 and supports JomSocial 2.6.

New Features:

"Forum Settings" page (my original hack)
"Posts" page
"Subscriptions" page (categories and individual posts)
"Favorites" page
"Thank You" page (Thank You's received and given)
Installation Instructions is now a html page with color and anchor links for easier reading/navigation. This instructions file is also now available via the "JomSocial and Kunena Profile Integration" page on my website when logged in with a valid subscription.

With the exception of the "Unapproved Posts" and "Ban Manager" these features are what is available in the Kunena Profile page.

TY for the wonderful (and affordable) bridge.

Just one suggestion, I think it would flow better to place Forum Settings into Jomsocial's "Edit profile" -- that way all profile information is in one place.

All that remains in the forums section is Posts, Subscriptions, Favorites and TYs.

Couple issues:

(1) No buttons to unsubscribe and unfavorite under subscriptions or favorite tabs.

[strike](2) Is there a way to make the forumsettings.css link colors only affect that page? It has changed my top menu links all to white also.[/strike] Fixed the CSS to match my theme, just removed the .d0 and .d1s for the links, and changed the .d1 background to a different color.

xenxes,

I will look into combining the Forum Settings into the Edit Profile page.

I overlooked the unsubscribe and unfavorite, I will see if I can get this added and released soon. In the mean time clicking on the link will take you to the forums where you can unsubscribe/unfavorite.

I am concerned about the link color issue, as unless I screwed up on the code it should only be changing the color of the links within the output from my hack. On my test site and my live site that I sell/support the hack on there is not an issue. Might just be your particular theme? Not sure on this one.

Thanks,
Justin

Wow you're quick!

For the Forum Settings, I think the following move is most user-intuitive (without having to break up the specific fields on the page):

- Move Forum Settings->Forum Settings to Edit Profile->Account Information
- Move Forum Settings->(Post+Subs+Favs+TYs) to Top Menu, new tab called Forums



As for the link color, it may just be my theme (Rocket Theme Clarion), CSS is an easy edit so it's not an issue.

I too agree with Xenxes. This move would make it more user-friendly.

That looks good, I will see what I can do and it actually falls in line with another request I have received.

-->If the install is successful on the loading page it will give you the option to migrate the Kunena Fields into the new JomSocial fields so your users do not need to retype the information in the new fields.

-->Image/coloring removed from top of Posts, Subscriptions, Favorites, and Thank You pages. This now uses the JomSocial submenu template/css.
