Fatal Error: Class "Kunena\Forum\Administrator\View\Users\HtmlHelper" Not Found in Users View

[javierfebrero]

Describe the bug
When accessing the Users view in Kunena within Joomla, a fatal error occurs due to the missing class Kunena\Forum\Administrator\View\Users\HtmlHelper.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• Go to the Joomla administration panel.
• Navigate to Kunena -> Users.
• An error screen appears.

Expected behavior
The Kunena Users view should load without errors and correctly display the list of users.

Actual result
A fatal error is displayed with the message:

Class "Kunena\Forum\Administrator\View\Users\HtmlHelper" not found  

The error originates from:

JROOT/administrator/components/com_kunena/src/View/Users/HtmlView.php:223

Joomla version: 5.2.2
Kunena version: 6.3.7
Php version: 8.3.16

The issue seems to have originated from [pull] (#9622)), where changes were made to the Users view.

Hi @javierfebrero ,

thanks for the report.

can you try the following:
in file > JROOT/administrator/components/com_kunena/src/View/Users/HtmlView.php:223

add the following code:

use Joomla\CMS\HTML\HTMLHelper;

in the top of the file where the other use statements are.

Hi,

I’ve already added the use Joomla\CMS\HTML\HTMLHelper; line at the top of the file, and it does indeed resolve the issue.

However, this seems like something that should be addressed within the core of the component to prevent it from happening in the future. It would be ideal if this fix were implemented so that it doesn’t require manual adjustments going forward.

Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Hi @javierfebrero ,

As I was unable to reproduce the issue (for me it works), I was asking you to test this.
Now that we know that it works i will create a PR to fix this is 'core' .

Thanks for reporting and testing this!
