D7 Update

Ok, we had today as the planned day for the feature-final beta version release, but unfortunately it's not ready yet. We have been  dragged down a bit by Unity administration issues and functionality upgrades, and on top of that a recently reassessed "Groups" functionality which added a good chunk of work.

We also still need some time to properly arrange Albums in the media sharing modules. The avatars/photos/profile photos trio is also being worked on.

So, we have set July 8th as the definitive date for FF Beta and will push everything possible to meet this deadline.

Note, that with delays like this we normally have a few people working on remaining features, while others bug-track the tail, so we don't need as much testing/fixing after the BETA.

All in all - Hookie is really, really, really close. Really....

Cool.

One question that I keep forgetting to ask:

How much trouble would it be to add the version number to the beginning comment section in every php file in the distribution package? All of the commercial scripts that I use do this.
AlexT
Good suggestion, we will consider this during preparing Dolphin package.

That was one of my questions long standing, and I got in the habit of using a php script to auto-change when ever I dl a new release, but it would be nice to not have to go thru this step each time.

Thank for the News and i wonder why now profile comment stop working with HTML or CSS post? at first time i saw it work.
MichelSwiss
No problem :-) Quality is much more important than timeframe !

Please don't underestimate the needed time for testing/fixing after the BETA... As for me, I'm not a real fan of patches (7.0001... 0002... etc) ;-)

As a SmartPro customer, will we have all the modules in the /module directory & not the /modules/boonex directory as I want in my URLS to read as My domain name Ads, Blogs & so on

www.mydomain.com/modules/ads/index.php
& not as
www.mydomain.com/modules/boonex/ads/index.php

?
AlexT
It is for inner directory structure only, all modules URLs are rewritten and will look like this:

www.mydomain.com/m/module/action/parameters...

m - for modules
module - for module name
action - for action within a module
parameters - parameters to pass to module's action

But several modules uses old way, but URLs will be rewritten and friendly too, for the ads it will look look like this:

ads/action/parameters

Thank You, Alex, I was concerned from dolphin 7a demo, I seen both as Ads = http://www.demozzz.com/dolphin7a/modules/boonex/ads/classifieds.php?ShowAdvertisementID=25

But the hands that connected here http://www.demozzz.com/dolphin7a/photo/gallery/Paige-Hilton

That came from http://www.demozzz.com/dolphin7a/m/photos/browse/all

Makes me feel a lot better that the latter is the way modules are rewritten

FF Beta (Feature Final?), Going from 28% on trac to 90% in little over 2 weeks?
Due to the state of the code (not whats missing), are you 100% sure this is correct as you would need to double the work force for reaching such a beta in the short time frame. The programmers set the last date correct as this new one?
DimLANer
Great! I'm ready for testing!

have some question, what about the language by migrating(upgrade) to D7 from D6.1.6, will it work normal or we should again translating from zero?

Thanks for the update, Andrew! I guess I speak for most of us if I say that we´d rather wait a few more days/weeks if that helps us avoid patching versions.

Andrew and Team...
You guys are doing great. As time goes on the problems and obsticals will work themselves out. What can not be worked out will open a new door for oppertunity.

I would like to share this Quote with you:

Great news! 2 Questions I haven't seen answered though.
1). Will there be new functionality for the groups or will it remain the same as 6?
2). Will 7 allow for an easy upgrade from 6?

Thanks and great work!
