The app for Kunena hasn't been updated for several months and Kunena has put out several updates in that time. Kunena 5.1 is long out of beta currently at RC4.

When enabling this app it causes 404 errors when trying to integrate EasySocial and Kunena on any non-kunena page and the profile integration is mostly broken as well.
Hi Paul,

Thanks for reporting this, I've logged this into our issue tracker and our developer will take an action for this

I appreciate it being logged but this is a critical issue. The app is unusable i.e. EasySocial / Kunena integration is not only impossible but renders the site mostly unusable if this app is enabled. Anyone updating Kunena is going to be in for a nasty surprise with no answers until this app is updated.

I found part of the problem in the app file: kunena.php

"authorise" is deprecated for Kunena and they now use: "tryAuthorise" I updated this file on my server and it did help partially in that it eliminated the 404 error pages all over the site but the actual function of the app to get kunena activity to appear in the EasySocial stream does not work

Hi Paul,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused, as I cannot access your backend to view the correct path to apply the temporary fix,
Can you replace the attached file and replace in the:
.../media/com_easysocial/apps/user/kunena/kunena.php

You're suggested to backup the file that you want to replace beforehand for precaution

Your understanding and cooperation is much appreciated Paul

OK after some testing I find that there is a problem with how the stream items are rendered. This exact problem occurred with EasyDiscuss in the EasySocial stream but was fixed a few months back. Here is the problem:

A kunena reply is made to a kunena thread.
this gets added to the EasySocial stream.

In Kunena the url for the reply is thus (how it should be):
http://redmen.com/forum-index/redmentalk/272714-guys-on-matt-s-radar.html?start=220#279586

but in the EasySocial stream it is rendered as thus:
http://redmen.com/forum-index/redmentalk/272714-guys-on-matt-s-radar/279584.html#279584

the problem with this is then that pagination stops working for the user.

the same issue if SEF is turned off:

Kunena:
http://redmen.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&view=topic&catid=6&id=272714&Itemid=2398&limitstart=220#279586

EasySocial Stream:
http://redmen.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&view=topic&defaultmenu=2237&Itemid=2398&catid=6&id=272714&mesid=279586&limitstart=210#279586
