Hi,

I bought JFBC 1.6 v3.3 today on the basis that it links with Kunena - but there doesn't seem to be a Kunena profile plugin in the downloaded files - just communitybuilder and jmsocial.

Have I missed something?

Rob,
Not yet. The Joomla 1.5 version of JFBConnect has a Kunena profile plugin, but when the Joomla 1.6 version was released, Kunena was incredibly unstable from our testing. We're testing the 1.6.4 version, just released a few days ago, which seems better. If we can get a profile plugin that we're confident with and don't feel would be a nightmare to support, we'll be releasing for that version. With luck, testing, and a release, will only take about a week; however it may take till the end of the month to get something out.

Hope that helps explain the current standing. The intent is to have complete feature compatibility between the Joomla 1.5 and 1.6 versions of JFBConnect in June. Currently, the only difference is the support of a few extra systems (K2, Kunena, and Agora) by the Joomla 1.5 version. K2 and Kunena now support 1.6, whereas Agora has made no announcements about support for the newest Joomla release.

Hi Alex,

I am disappointed.
Your product description still states "3rd Party Integration: K2, Agora, JomSocial, Community Builder, and Kunena for avatar and profile imports."
I can't see any indication when purchasing that this doesn't apply to 1.6.
:(

Sorry for the confusion. Yes, I can see we should update our product page to call that out more. Our JED listing does specify which plugins are for 1.5 only, but missed it on our own pages.

As always, we do have a 30-day money back guarantee. If you'd like to take advantage of it, we completely understand. Otherwise, we'll hopefully have the Kunena plugin available soon upon further testing.

I'm assuming you're using Kunena 1.6.4? Does it seem pretty stable for you? Did you try their last releases for Joomla 1.6? Just curious as to your experiences with it.

Thanks,
Alex

Just wanted to give you an update - The plugin code is updated and I'm running it against our automated tests for Kunena 1.6.4 right now. This new version of Kunena is looking much better for me and more useable. I expect to post the plugin file this afternoon shortly.

No problem. It's what we do, and again, apologize for the confusion on our product page. We certainly didn't mean to mis-represent things.

Please let us know how this works out for you. Melissa already had the plugin ready, but we really hadn't tested much with the new version of Kunena before your message. We've run it through our automated tests, but feedback, especially since you may be the only user using the Kunena integration on 1.6, is greatly appreciated.

Best of luck to you, and definitely let us know if you run into any other issues!
