G'day, mate. :) The old menu "thing" for JomSocial was retired by the Kunena developers a long time ago. However, I understand that the JomSocial developers have taken it over and you can obtain what you want from their website.

As far as editing one's forum signature (or altering other forum preferences if you use the JomSocial profile within Kunena) is concerned, I believe this is still only the case if you use Kunena profiles

I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with the concept of "setting up an automatic post" in any forum product (whether Google AdSense content is displayed inside it or not). I understand that it's possible (and it's done all the time) to use template positions to display advertisements, but I'm not familiar with the term "automatic post", sorry.

Do you have an example somewhere to illustrate what you are trying to achieve?

That's true, unless the users are using Community Builder :whistle:

May I ask you, what version of Kunena were you using before you observed this problem? The problems you refer to commenced in K 4.0.5 and we discussed them >>> here <<<

I'm sorry, I can't help you with the eBay widget problem. The solution might have something to do with making sure your site has the necessary eBay AppID in order to link your forum to eBay. Another alternative is to disable the eBay widget in Kunena. As I said, I don't know anything about using eBay with Kunena and I don't use that feature.

The second problem concerning nbbc.php relates to Tapatalk . You probably need to talk to them about whether they support K 4.0.x

Replied by sozzled on topic RSS Feed for 1 topic?

oestek wrote: Is there a way to create an RSS feed for one topic on my Kunena forum?

No, sorry.

oestek wrote: I don't want to see the entire category feed, just one topic.

RSS feeds in Kunena operate both at a global level and at the category level. There is no [RSS] "topic feed" for Kunena. However, members of your site can subscribe to topics to be notified of new posts in the forum.

The behaviour changed in K 4.0.5 in September last year. I wrote about it here on this forum and in one of my blog articles.

You may have to turn off Joomla caching (it works for me without using page-caching).

JedCausient wrote: ... and I got lost trying to find profile > edit > forum settings > clear cache lol It just took me to my Jomsocial profile.

:laugh: I'm not surprised. The JomSocial profile doesn't have this setting; it's only available if you use the Kunena user profile.

JedCausient wrote: If a user presses the "x" on the announcement box it closes but there is no way to get it back. Is there a fix for this?

No, there is no fix for this as far as I know. The easiest way—with a single mouse-click—to restore the announcement box (after collapsing it) is to refresh/reload the page.

I wrote an "opinion piece" some years ago (posted on this site and updated in my own blog) about the possibilities, the problems and pitfalls associated with migrating from one forum product to Kunena (or any other product, for that matter).

While it is certainly true that CF provided a single-click import feature—it was one of the features that attracted me to CF in the first place—CF is kind of in an exclusive class. AFAIK there isn't a means of importing from CF to Kunena, certainly not with a single mouse-click.

However, nothing's impossible; "where there's a will there's a way" as the saying goes. But the means to achieve this outcome might prove to be a time-consuming or financial barrier. I'm happy to discuss your situation with you—free of charge—and give you some suggestions or "benefit" of my experience. Skype might be something you could consider (my Skype address is in my user profile on this site). :)

Unfortunately, this seems to happen (as far as Kunena's HMVC templates are concerned) with four out of five Joomla templates, sadly. The trick is to find a Joomla site template that co-operates nicely with Kunena. This also may explain why nine out of ten Kunena site owners are still using the older [Blue Eagle-based] templates.

As far as topic icons are concerned, there's a setting somewhere on the Crypsis template option (I think).

I've been tempted to go back to protostar; K 4.0 Crypsis seems to work pretty well with that one. :lol:

In effect, you've already done that. The developers will read this topic and act as they see fit. You should not have to do further except wait for their response to your question/suggestion. B)

Just for your information, I suggested an idea similar to yours nearly 6 years ago ... but it never caused a minor ripple.

nemmar wrote: Yes, I understand that there are limitations now with the forum moderator replying to a topic using the confidential BBcode

It's not just Kunena. Other web-based discussion forums implement similar functionality (although they may use different BBcode tags to do it, e.g
This message contains secure information
). Basically, the tag is designed to provide "one-way" traffic between the user and forum moderators. That's the way that nearly all forum products (that I've used) work. You might consider "PM" as an option :dry:

nemmar wrote: That is why I asked about having a feature request for the next updates to Kunena:

I haven't seen anything on the development roadmap that suggests this might be a future feature (at least not in K 5.0) or, at the very least, not in the foreseeable future. Of course, plans change and the developers might consider it. Who knows? :unsure:

As you probably saw in one or two of those links I posted, it's possible to create separate categories for each user (assign a unique Joomla ACL to each user, then use Joomla ACLs to control who can view/create/reply to topics in those categories) but, at the present time, it's not easy to do and it will involve a large management overhead to create and maintain those separate forum categories.

Alternatively, as you say, you can still use the confidential BBcode tag (to protect the sensitive information that people post) but, unfortunately, the contents of the confidential tag can only be seen by the person who posted a message containing it and/or a forum moderator. So, the problem is that, if a moderator replies to a message using a confidential tag, only the forum moderator(s) can see it (that is, the person who is not a moderator will not be able to see what a moderator my write if they use that tag).

Even if there was a "button" to generate the BBcode
Code:
[confidential [/confidential]
this probably will not do much if moderators reply to topics and use it with the intention of communicating "privately" with other [non-moderator] users. For this reason, Kunena is probably unsuitable for use in a true help desk environment (unless, as I said before, you set up private areas (categories) for each user.

I hope that more detailed explanation may help you to decide how you go about setting up a help desk environment for your website.

Good to hear that B)

jhebbel wrote: From what I read 5.0b5 is "stable" ...

Sorry, I doubt it. I won't be trying K 5.0 until about 3 or 4 months after it the first production release has emerged; the beta version is for members of the community to trial, to experiment with.

jhebbel wrote: ... from that I think its probably better off than Chrono ...

Well, it is now :laugh:

jhebbel wrote: and the leap from 5.0b5 to 5.0 final is likely smoother than 4.0 to 5.0.

More likely, there will be a hair-breadth's difference between them.
