HI,

I've installed 5.2.7 on a new copy of my website for testing purposes (the production database is still on 5.1). When testing the quote function, the full name of the user who has been quoted is shown correctly, which wasn't so with 5.2.6.. However, existing posts that have quotes still show only the first name. This happens using both Blue Eagle 5 and Crypsis.

Maybe it helps, if you recount the statistics (Dashboard -> Tools)..

I've just noticed another issue with quotes. The hyperlink just goes to the website root when the a post has been quoted after conversion to K5.2.7. Quotes that were done previously, ie when K5.1 was still used, have only the first name but do have the full path to the post that's been quoted.

PLEASE CLICK ON SOURCE VIEW BEFORE READING THIS POST!

Thanks for looking into this. I'll try to clarify the situation, which is a bit confusing.

The live website has K5.1.9 and Blue Eagle, but with some overrides in layout/user. All posts have been created using bbCode.

To test K5.2.7 I created a copy of the website using Akeeba in a subdirectory of the live website.

I then installed K5.2.7 and the new version of Blue Eagle on the test website. I removed the layout/user overrides to ensure that they weren't affecting anything.

I then examined earlier posts that included quotes, made on the live website, to see how they showed up using K5.2.7. What I found was that
a) only the first name was shown
b) the name was hyperlinked correctly to the post that was quoted

I then added new posts that quoted from earlier posts and found that:
a) Both names were shown
b) The link was wrong - it was just the root url for the domain, www.pgweb.uk instead of for example www.pgweb.uk/pgcdev4/forums/forums-index...ne-ltn?start=40#6293

Examining the bbcode, I found that the pre-K5.2.7 posts with quotes used the syntax

Editing these later posts to use the syntax

Both Blue Eagle 5 and Crypsis behaved in the same way.

Confusing! I'm sure this would have been noticed if it was happening to everyone, so perhaps it's another example of Kunena behaving strangely on my website, eg the unresolved issue of why it won't send emails to people subscribed to a topic, only to the moderators.

Sorry, my last post came out differently than intended because the examples were parsed!

Examining the bbcode, I found that the pre-K5.2.7 posts with quotes used the syntax where only the username was surrounded by quotation marks, while in the K5.2.7. quotes the entire sequence of username, userid and postid was enclosed in quotation marks. Editing the source for the K5.2.7 posts so that only usernames were in quotation marks generated the correct links but showed only the user's first name.

Hello,

In K5.2.x we have changed something in the bbcode quote tag :

[*quote="Firstname Lastname post=73 userid=394"]text text text[/quote*]

In K5.1 it was like that :

[*quote="Firstname Lastname" post=55"]text text text[/quote*]
