Solved Kunena Latest - Latest Topics Bug

Hi,

I installed Kunena 6.2.0 and KunenaLatest 6.0.3 (ßlus Kunena Discuss). I added a module KunenaLatest and configured to show All categories with latest topics of 1 month backwards.

Looks perfect but then a user noticed that it would also list posts from categories where normal users do not have Read access. If they click on such a post it will of course not open. I verified with Kunena 5 that such posts were never showed to normal users or guests. If I change configuration to Latest Posts instead it does not show posts from hidden categories. But of course every latest post of same topic are listed here.

I verifed PHP of KunenaLatest and found that it calls method getLatestTopic in libraries/src/Forum/Topic/KunenaTopicHelper.php . It calls KunenaCategoryHelper::getCategories .

So it is clear that problem resides with method getLatestTopic. It should only select topics from categories which are readable by current user (guest or normal user) while it should be visible to moderators for example. Using Kunena Menu Recent Topics works correctly .

My temporary solution:

1. Instead of selecting category "All" I selected all categories manually incl. internal category for moderators
2. I added parameter "read" to KunenaCategoryHelper::getCategories call

That is not a real solution but it works for the time being.

Can someone please confirm this bug and add to bug list ?

Best regards and keep the good work going, Goldie

Hello,

I have made fix for both Kunena and the module kunena altest, the fixes will be in the next release, if you want try to a test site with nightly build :

• update.kunena.org/nightlybuilds/pkg_kune...1-DEV_2023-11-05.zip
• update.kunena.org/nightlybuilds/mod_kune...4-DEV_2023-11-05.zip

For the Kunena latest module, you need to select All if you haven't selected categories and save it

During the test here locally, everything seems to be fine

Hi xillibit,

I can also confirm that it now works well in my test system. I only saw that you hand over category -1 when selecting ALL categories.

Thanks for quick support !

And I saw that Kunena - Uddeim integration now also started to work again.
