Hi, since updating to Jomsocial 3.2 we are experiencing a problem with avatar for anonymous/guest users on our kunena (3.0.5) forum. For logged in users, when they preview a kunena forum page with posts made by guest users, they see THEIR OWN AVATAR instead of the default guest avatar.

Please take a look at this video to see exactly what is happening: youtu.be/_3ZFk7bu_0I

Cześć Artur.

I'm sorry but I'm afraid that we can't help you with this one. Kunena forum plugins belong to Kunena and they discontinued supporting them.

www.kunena.org/docs/My_Kunena_Plug-in_for_JomSocial

The extension described in this article was developed for the specific intention of making it easier for the Kunena developers to integrate the features of JomSocial on the Kunena website. As the website undergoes various changes and, in the process, some extensions that were useful at one time are dropped or abandoned, therefore the need to maintain software like this also diminishes. In effect there is no ongoing benefit to the Kunena project to continue to maintain or enhance this software; the main benefit is to users of JomSocial but, because the Kunena website does not use JomSocial, continuing to maintain this software places an extra burden on the limited resources of the team.

While this software continues to be available for the current supported version of Kunena, there is a likelihood that further releases of this add-on may continue but this should not be taken as an indication that future releases of Kunena will continue to support this particular extension. No firm decisions have been made about the future availability of this particular extension but the likelihood that it will remain available in future is low.


- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

- Use the "Thank You" feature on any post that helped you

Thanks for letting me know. In this case we have solved the issue ourselves, by hacking the file : plugins/kunena/community/avatar.php

in function "_getURL" after "$user=..." we added:

if($user->userid<1) return
'//yourdomain.com/components/com_community/assets/user-Male.png';
