Solved Attachments in email not linking to attachments

Hi there,
Noticed that users do not receive the attachments in email when placing an attachment in a post. Link to attachment is send when inserting the attachment in the post but the link is of format: media/kunena/attachments/userID/attachment.pdf and not mywebsite.com/media/kunena/attachments/userID/attachment.pdf which makes the link useless. How to fix this?
Addition: found out that the links in backend under tab "attachments" are all linking to a 404 page. Reason: they link to the administrator/media/kunena..... folder instead of /media/kunena... folder. Do not know if one has to do with the other.......

that's a other bug, just link issue.

I think the problem is on your htaccess file.

Yes, easy to say it is a bug when something is not working as it should. No, problem is not htaccess file as I am using the standard htaccess file. Problem is also in backend. All links to attachment pages link to 404 pages instead of the attachment. On the frontend, the links are working correctly. Backend attachment links, link to administrator/media/kunena/attachments/userID/attachment.jpg while on frontend to: /media/kunena/attachments/userID/attachment.jpg
Could not find where to configure this settings and do not know if this influences the problem about attachment links in email notofications.
Hope there is someone with a simular problem and solution.
Kind regards,
Meindert

Hello,

For the issue in backend, there is a fix for it here and it will available in 4.0.8 : github.com/Kunena/Kunena-Forum/commit/b0...6fa499612744f87a3afd

For the link of attachments in email, do-you have tried with crypsis if it's the same ?

Ok, thanks for the reply. Will wait on Kunena 4.0.8 as I do not see any folder components/com_kunena/admin (so also no folder components/com_kunena/admin/template....) in my Kunena install so i do not knwo were to put the changes.
But my original problem is not that in backend the attachment files leads to 404 pagina (although this is also a problem) but that de notification email does not show a proper link to the attachment. Attachment links are not shows at all when attachment is not inserted, so images are not send as attachment in email at all and for de pdf's I instert, the wrong url is generated. And yes, same problem when activating the Crypsis template. Can try with protostar as Joomla......

The path is
/administrator/components/com_kunena/template/joomla25/layouts/attachment/item/default.php
and
/administrator/components/com_kunena/template/joomla30/layouts/attachment/item/default.php
