Dolphin 6.1.5

We planned to release 7.0 first, but since it still needs about 2 months of work, and since we have a handful of critical bug-reports for the current version, we decided to release 6.1.5 as soon as next week.

It's a very quick update, so only critical issues will be addressed. Please report bugs found in 6.1.4 here and we'll update the list in the Trac.

The 6.1.5 milestone is now added to Trac.

We still plan to release a bigger 6.1.x update after 7.0, but this one is needed urgently, so we couldn't wait.

With 6.1.5 we plan to change our license pricing and will do license transfers. A new licensing policy will be used for Dolphin too.

Waiting for your reports.

100 photo limit on profiles needs to be removed,
infact all media limits need to be removed, as old members have filled their quota on my site and its set to the maximum.

there seems to be a limit to the size of emails that can be sent, and they are sent with 1/2 the content missing. and no warning that they are to long.

ray chat should have cookies to save peoples font settings in chat and IM

Is anything going to be done to address the incompatibility of the Firefox version of the Google toolbar on Dolphin and Ray.

If the Google toolbar is in use in Firefox then half the Ray modules do not work correctly.

And the spell checker in the Google toolbar wreaks havoc on tiny_mce text area box which is used everywhere throughout Dolphin. Perhaps the FCKeditor would be a more compatible choice.

Given the huge popularity of the Google toolbar, esp here in the US given I do not know how see more popular it is everywhere else, it seem inconceivable to ask someone to remove the Google toolbar just to use the site.

This issue to me is something that must be addressed.

yes same problem - I deleted the chat site

I think alot of people had given up on developing their 6.1.4 version and wait for the v7. V7 looks a great product and i don't think the 6.1.5 would be anywhere near it. And again in the beginning of the v7, we were told that it will be possible to upgrade from 6.1.4 to v7. So my question is do we really need it?

Having said that i'm very happy with the efforts you have put to get the products where they are. Keep it up.
sammie
@kinuthia
yes it is needed, i pushed hard for Boonex to make a 6.1.5 for people that have invested a lot of money on mods that want to keep their 6.1.X sites. its good to hear there will be a 6.1.6 too.
sammie
ajax remember me login needs to be fixed. as stated in a new blog post.
giuscan77
Please adjust affiliate system for this version!

This is also an important issue, no doubt!

I also like the idea of 6.1.5. I am finding it difficult to create a 'business application' with 6.1.4. Sooner, we get 6.1.5 better it will be.

I started using this product just over a month back, but I simply love it. However, a lot more effort is required is to stabilize it. How can we contribute and help the steering team? I vote along with Sammie and Kinuthia

Any graphical update also?
Thank you. Good news.

On default (root) page, if you turn off drop menus when user is not logged in, the header seems to spin images quickly and then images won't autorotate with promo flash reloader. Atleast one menu item (I used 'home") must be enabled as a workaround, but it makes the page look goofy.

At Ray, profile video never did work on my site proper, even after Rayz from Expertzzz went over it to fix my video chat.

mine doesn't work either.

a clear and concie server setting and requirements, i.e. what is the Boonex server php.ini settings? copy n paste it so we can see.
mbstring have a lot of settings that affect orca and groups and also other things, it is the cause of some of the missing text after someone uses a letter with a hyphen over it, the rest of the post is missing on the standard install and settings for mbstrings, this is why we all need to sing from the same hymbook.

type of server. Dolphin installer will not accept see more an install on SuPHP servers unless you change all the file and folder permissions, as SuPHP servers dont need to be set to 777 or 666 to write, there should be a skip button on the permissions page of the installer.

the auto installer installs just fine on SuPHP servers but sets sets permission to 666 and 777, this is clearly not needed on SuPHP servers.

PM's you can read PM's sent if you change the url to another members id, this whole pm system needs to be secure, even though you dont know the names, you can read them and work out who they are by their writing styles.

unread messages in ray im and others, can be read via the database, they should be encrypted as they are private and personal, so no need for a webmaster to have access to the messages in the clear, its the same as passwords in the clear,

Ray chat, admin should have the choice see more to enter the chat in either visible or invisible mode to see trouble makers

You can upgrade the flash video and music uploader. So it stops showing the Alert- undefined error on higher versions of flash

Flash image loader on main page frequently shows the images off centre. Check www.face-plant.co.uk for an example.
If it doesn't do it the first time just refresh and you'll see it eventually.

I have been using Dolphin for just over a year and a half now and currently run 6.1.4. Here are the issues I have noticed:

* Firefox 3 and Safari are not fully compatible with Ray: Noticable issues - chat / IM do not always work, Presence does not always load, Ray widgets tend to lose license information in the admin panel.

* Admin Panel / Moderation: In Dolphin 5 we used to have breakdown of unconfirmed, rejected, suspended, etc.. In 6 we only have inactive or active categories making it see more difficult to know who is in what state. I got around this by borrowing some of the older code from Dolphin 5.

* Orca: Spacing between paragraphs is a problem.

* Orca: Number of topics and number of posts are always the same number in the stats - one should be larger right?

* Member search: If you use the search feature, the results do not truncate the user description, I don't know if this is by design or not but if a user has a massive description, the entire text will display in the results pane.

There are additional issues I have come across but these have been because of my own customization. The above are the main things I would love to see fixed in the next release, oh and it would be wonderful if there were a way to disable stats of features you don't use from the statistics panel.

Keep up the good work Boonex! ... and let us in on the new licensing pricing soon please :)

the security issue with the guestbook needs to be addressed. i think this was posted on the forum, that it was vulnerable, and immediately afterwards, sites were hit hard and heavy with spam bots.

quote of the day needs to be fixed.

rayz suite and RMS configuration needs to be attended to and not write to a flat file, and be able to communicate with a mysql database.

double posting in the av chat room.

forceable IM sessions without invite or notice.

remove Desktop from the for sale see more list, and remove it from the application, it does not work, Rayz has said it doesnt work and no plans on fixing it, remove it.

all of those file permissions that shouldnt have to be changed on the install that you have set to 755, that get changed to 777, same with 644 that are changed to 666, there are 80+ files that have to have the file permissions changed, and then they are not changed back, why not be able to upload the script with minimal chmod requirements.

implement an install for mods and addons, keeping the core files intact except in extreme cases. i know this is pliable, as joomla, php-nuke, postnuke, mambo, e107 and many more CMS's are able to hold their core files while allowing for mods to be implemented across the script.

page compose does not work and has not worked, can we get this fixed, instead of having to do a sql injection to make that work.

events and calendar have been a huge success on many sites, and to have a more advanced feature with calendar and events would be a good thing.

multiple admins created from admin panel, that are able to admin (not moderators) but admins, that can admin RAY would be a good thing, at the present time, you can create many admins, and the admins can login to the site and perform several tasks, but if they login to admin of Ray AV Chat, the primary admin that was created on install will be the admin name that goes into AV Chat admin.

task tracking of additional admins, task tracking of moderators.

implement google checkout. this is becoming a very widely acceptable means of payment.

newsletter creation from admin panel needs to be a little more advanced, and be able to utilize PDF files.

ok i guess thats enough for now, i will think on this and may come back.

Regards,
DosDawg

When a member log in and has unread IM messages (RayImPendings), messages are displayed with the current time (must be the date and time when the messages was sent).

This is confusing because the reader of such IM message is thinking that the sender is online...
