Question WhatsApp Icon Not Displaying Correctly

Hi,

When adding social accounts to the user profile, all icons function properly except for the WhatsApp icon, which does not appear as a clickable link. Other social icons are correctly linked, but the WhatsApp icon fails to render in link form.

 

Kind regards,

Confirmed. Think that line 2224 in libraries/kunena/src/User/KunenaUser.php should be changed from to

Hi Pinkeltje,

Thank you very much for your code. I tried changing the code as per your suggestion and it works perfectly. I hope Kunena team will fix this bug in the next version.

Thank you

Then you should create a bug report on Github

Code:

 'whatsapp'         => ['url' => '##VALUE##', 'title' => Text::_('COM_KUNENA_MYPROFILE_WHATSAPP'), 'nourl' => '1'],

to

Code:

 'whatsapp'         => ['url' => 'https://wa.me/##VALUE##', 'title' => Text::_('COM_KUNENA_MYPROFILE_WHATSAPP'), 'nourl' => '0'],

Doesn't seems to work for me. Mine is fresh install of Joomla 5.2.1 and Kunena 6.3.6 with a default Cassiopeia Site template.
When hover the button link look like this;
whatsapp://send?text=https%3A%2F%2Fmysite.org%2Ftest%2Ftest%2F46-test%20Just%20a%20test.

 

Then I don't know what the problem is. I've tested it before creating a pull request and just patched the file on my live site to make sure the code was right and it works nicely on desktop and mobile.
