Module mod_kunenastats_v6.2.1_2026-04-25.zip returns an error when activated. was created by Leen

HHello ,
Module mod_kunenastats_v6.2.1_2026-04-25.zip gives an error when activated.

If the problems persist, please contact the website administrator and report the error below.

0 Call to a member function bootComponent() on null

So the question is why ?
With the help of ChatGpt I found this solution
modify in : mod_kunenastats\src\ModuleKunenaStats.php
Add at the top:

Code:

use Joomla\CMS\Factory;

and replace this:

Code:

// Boot Kunena component for use of Kunena registered function in non com_kunena page if (!$this->application->bootComponent('com_kunena')) { return; }

by:

Code:

// Boot Kunena component for use of Kunena registered functions $app = Factory::getApplication(); if (!$app->bootComponent('com_kunena')) { return; }

then the module will probably work,
but the message will appear again
Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property Kunena\Module\KunenaStats\Site\ModuleKunenaStats::$stats_link is deprecated in C:
I am still working on this, so I will post the solution a bit later

With kind regards
Leen

This is ChatGPT's solution

Clean up the entire ModuleKunenaStats.php file for PHP 8.5, Joomla 6, and Kunena 7

Yes. Based on the file you provided, I would clean it up like this. I keep the existing Kunena functionality intact as much as possible, but address the points that could cause problems with PHP 8.5, Joomla 6, and the current object/property handling.

Key changes:

Factory::getApplication() instead of $this->application.
All properties used are explicitly declared → no dynamic-property warnings.
PHP 8.5-compatible type declarations where safe to do so.
preg_replace() is checked for null.
The existing Kunena API calls are retained.
No use of #[AllowDynamicProperties]; that would only hide the problem.
The operation of the module remains the same. Replace the entire content of modules/mod_kunenastats/src/ModuleKunenaStats.php
with

Code:

Then the mod works fine
