Kunena 6.2.5 & module Kunena Latest 6.0.7 released
The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 6.2.5 [K 6.2.5] which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 4.3.x/4.4.x/5.0.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.1 / K 6.2 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 6.2
The topics in this category are for historical interest only. Owing to the structural changes that occurred in K 2.0, many of the ideas in these topics will not work with later versions and, for that reason, the topics are locked.
Solved Autosubscription Plugin

The Board watch also appends a link for you to click if you don't want to auto-subscribe to topics anymore.
Another important feature of Board watch is the option to send notification email once and not send anymore until the user visits the forum. So if user selects such option then he will not be notified again until he visits the forum to read the updates. This way it curbs the flood of emails bombarding the users which in itself could be irritating to users.
By the way has anybody tried this plugin yet?
Any feedback on performance?
Thnx

I've been using it. It's basic and I haven't noticed any performance issues. If you want to test it, make sure you use the attached file. There's very little code in the plugin:
As per the update notifications, I believe Kunena has that feature. Under configurations, see users, subscriptions, topic subscriptions (email first update).

Thnx

I did have a few existing users in my board when I implemented the plugin. What I choose to do was to manually modify the kunena_subscriptions_categories table with the appropriate catid and userid. If you had a lot of users this process would be pretty time consuming but you could write a sql query that selected all userid. If working with the database directly is out of your comfort zone let me know, I don't mind helping you.

I've implemented ACLs within my forum now. Everything seems to be going well too! I've now implemented the auto subscription plugin that someone kindly shared (thank you!). Here's the interesting thing. The new user is subscribed to all categories regardless of privileges.
The new user can only view what he had been given privileges in joomla so that's unaffected. They also don't get emails with messages from categories they don't have privileges to but are still automatically subscribed to so that's good. I'm still concerned since I'm still new to kunena. Can anyone give me ideas as to what kind of conflicts or problems may show up in the future if I leave the system functioning this way?
Best Regards,
Ben

The user can also amend the subscription options in his profile preferences. This is more useful for small groups where users simply don't bother to go to the site to check on topics unless prompted to do so eg. we are using it on our association website to discuss association matters.

That table no longer exists in 2.0. My quick look shows that subscriptions are now stores in kunena_user_categories and kunena_user_topics, one record for each category/topic subscribed to. The plugin will need to be modified for this change.
It should also be modified to check access levels before subscribing. This is a task I am not qualified to do. Anyone else?
