Kunena Groupjive Integration Question

Hi,

Groupjive Group/Kunena Forum integration worked from an installation perspective.

I have two questions:

Question 1:
If the system works, and the groupstructure

Category 1 - Group A, Group B, Group C
has been translated to
Forum 1 - Subforum A, Subforum B, Subforum C

Can I e.g. Move Subforum A in Kunena up one Level to e.g.
Forum 1 parallel to Forum A - Subforum B and C being still a Subforum to Forum 1?

My question is, if I change the imported structure in Kunena (titel of Forum) or hirachy, will it break the integration or are IDs used and no issues will happen?

Qustion 2:
I do encounter the issue, that the Kunena access control reports "Groupjive" but also, that no Groupjive Groups are found (see screenshot).

The result is: the user in a group sees "his" forums but no others (=ok). However in Groupjive in the forum tab he sees all postings of other groups he currently is no member off.

Config: J 2.5.9 GJ 2.7 CB 1.9 Kunena 2.0.1
I ran the groupjive Tool - it reports "Forum :: Forum not private - Repair" - I click repair, but the error is still reported and the problem persists. I already deleted all GJ forums in Kunena and rebuild without success.

Thank you,
Matthias

They're attached by IDs, but I do not suggest moving them or you risk breaking it. Basically what I am saying is I did not test that usage, that usage is not supported, so use at ones own risk.

That's normal, just ignore it. I don't populate the dropdown as it doesn't work very well with GJ.

Set the Public status of the forum tab to Disabled for groups. If the user isn't a member of the group they just get a preview of the posts. They can't actually view the posts.

The top level category that all GJ forums are in should be private. The tool should've fixed this though.

Kunena 2.0.1

Please upgrade to 2.0.4.

Thank you Kyle,
I will upgrade Kunena and I will test it further.

With regards to the preview of posts in the groupjive forum tab: we have some groups that contain confidential information. Even a preview of one or two lines is too much. This would be a wishlist item to switch this off.

To explain: in some forum threads health data are being discussed. If the name of a patient is revealed even in preview this is too much.

There already is a feature to do this. As explained in my previous post simply edit your Group and on the Forum integration tab set Public to No. Once done only members of the group can see and interact with the Forums tab.

Hi Kyle,

I was referring to this line - I think I misunderstood. If NON group members do not see anything, then this is fine. I will set the public view to no.

Correct, it only affects users that are not members of the group.
