Dolphin 7.0.1 Beta 1 (Updated)

Boonex is close to releasing a new build of Dolphin 7.0 with a lot of fixes and improvements. Most of the tickets were closed and Boonex decided to release the first Beta. You may find it using the following link http://www.demozzz.com/dolphin701b A separate archive was prepared too.

 

Also, you are free to download the development version of Dolphin 7 from the public SVN.

SVN: svn://svn.boonex.com/dolphin/trunk
username: guest
password: guest

Note.
1. DO NOT INSTALL OR UPGRADE YOUR LIVE SITES WITH THIS VERSION. NO FURTHER IN-BETWEEN UPGRADES OF THIS VERSION WILL BE AVAILABLE.
2. The SVN is updated on a regular basis several times a day. So, if there are errors in your installation you may need to wait and download a newer version a few hours later.

If you found some problems, feel free to discuss them in the Dolphin Betas And RCs forum with the other members. If a number of users have the same issue then you may post a bug report ticket in the Boonex Trac. It should be checked and the problem fixed by Boonex developers shortly. If you post the detailed description of the issue and the way it can be reproduced it will speed up the process.

Thank you in advance.

 

UPDATES:

 

It would help us very much if you and anybody else would be posting bug reports with short and specific descriptions to the forum. In that case things would really go better. We are ready and will fix critical bugs and security issues swiftly. If, however, we move a ticket to 7.0.2 there must be a compelling reason for that. Anyway, 7.0.2 will not take nearly as long as 7.0.1. We're preparing to try a monthly update cycle.

 

Every day, at least 3-4 Boonexers start their day from exactly that - listening to the community, reading reports, comments, posts, etc. We're trying to find a an effective combination of bug-fixing, feature development , Trident development, and direct support. 

So, believe me, if you told us about the bug, there's no need repeating it over and over and talk about "lost spirit" or anything like that. Now, we're trying to release the over 200-tickets-worth update and then we'll be proving smaller updates with fixes like the join-form-multiple select, etc and adding features by small portions. About once a month or so.

Now, if you have time, please look at the beta, and we'll be releasing the update very soon.

DAMMIT! You didn't fix the dbTopMenu Firefox zoom problem. What are you waiting for?

Why tell us to post bugs in track if you guys are going to ignore the ones you don't feel like working on? I posted this one months ago, and you confirmed it yourself.

The problem was fixed.
Did you still see it somewhere? If so give me please a link.

Still having some problems with IE7. Not sure of that testing with IE8 in IE7 emulation mode is a good solution...

dolphin 7 have some problem with Internet Explorer. some mods also have same problem. Please before sell or release make sure with internet explorer and fire fox or what ever.

Has the problem with the inability to null multiple select fields made from a predefined values table been fixed yet? This is a basic database function that works with almost all scripts of this type, and in fact, worked fine in D6. I have done everything humanly possible to draw attention to this - blog posts, forum posts explaining the issue, messages to the developers, and contacting my agent - but nothing has happened as far as I know.

In fact, in Trac, they are even trying to claim this see more has been "fixed" for some reason: http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/ticket/1627. It hasn't been fixed - it doesn't work, and I will be happy to give any developer at Boonex full access to my system to try to explain it to them. I even posted this in the "disputes" section asking why this ticket had been inappropriately closed, but even that didn't work. Is there some reason Boonex doesn't want to address this issue? They even censored the blog post where I first brought it up.

Hello.

English (google translation, sorry)

I want my money back. For 3 years only beta and error. I paid for a professional script and not for novice programmers.
Fuck your work.
Every month for paid advertising on Google and your employees tell me the page does not exist. Is that a rip off or what?

Finale should end its 2008th We have mid-2010 and Beta again and again error. HA HA HA

Since your really ridiculous.

Deutsch:

Hallo.

Ich will mein Geld zurück. Seit 3 Jahren nur see more Beta und Fehlers. Ich habe für Profi Script bezahlt und nicht für Anfänger Programmierer.
Scheiss auf Eure Arbeit.
Jeden Monat für Werbung bei Google bezahlt und Eure Mitarbeiter sagen mir die Seite ist nicht vorhanden. Soll das eine Abzocke sein oder was ??

Finale sollte ende 2008 sein. Wir haben mitte 2010 und wieder Beta und wieder Fehlers. HA HA HA

Ihr seit echt lächerlich.


Polski:

Witam.

Chcę moje pieniądze z powrotem. Przez 3 lata tylko beta i błędy. Zapłaciłem za profesjonalny skrypt, a nie dla początkujących programistów.
Sram na waszą prace.
Co miesiąc płace za reklame w Google a waszi pracownicy powiedzieli mi że strona nie istnieje. Jest to zdzieranie kasy tylko czy co?

Finałowa wersja miała być 2008. Mamy w połowe 2010 i ponownie Beta i ponownie błędy. HA HA HA

Jesteście naprawde śmieszni.

@Rappi @UFO360 we have to test the version before make release ! ..people prefer tested version... if you prefer not tested version you can always download the latest version from SVN
AlexT
@houstonlively @MichelSwiss @amar these tickets will be moved to 7.0.2 - this bugs are not critical and requires a lot of time for debugging ...
AlexT
@CALTRADE .. the problem is fixed for single select field, the improvement for multiple select field will be considered in future versions

Can you release the updated version already?? You test, we upload... I wish we could test our sites and software free by utilizing other people it would save me a whole lot of money (not time)... I still am lost on the concept of your business model. If you are going to release software then test it inhouse and hire an outside party to test entire site from functionality to layout, then release. It's alot better to roll out a product with less then 50 bugs then it is to have over 200, it not only see more gives you a bad reputation but also alot of pissed off people. Enough betas, .01, .02's just test your service and roll out a solid product inwhich would have less complaints and more happy paying customers.. Take a few months, raise your fees then give us a solid 98% product. (easy people about raising fees and taking time, but look at it logical; we are spending time finding, debugging, posting bugs (only to have them pushed to next version) what's your time really worth?.. I for one would not mind paying a few bucks more for a product that is 98%.. I am lost here now with this whole beta version for an update, i thought we went through this with the rollout of d7?? If you would have listened to a few Great members here, you should have rolled out smaller updates along the way. My ONLY suggestion is to communicate with members on here that have real life experience with live fuctional sites and experience with d7, there the ones that will guide the path... Thanks to boonex and all of the members that have helped!!. As alway's -- why not..

@ AlexT
Thank you for feedback ;-)

@ AlexT

You guys are taking to long to get the new version for the same bugs and errors you know im truth on this one you guys are making more bugs than before i dont know what you guys be doing on this 3 months but i dont see no diferents on the beta 7.0.1 is all the same and some tickes say close and fix but they not realy fix you guys are making people to believe the tickes has been fix or bugs i check the road map every day to see how much tickes are been fix so i can download the new version see more for good but i wait for people first to see if they say Thak's guy Good Work or some think like that you know

but everyone i getting piss off because is all the same with more bugs and they get mad and you get people talikng bads worlds to the new version if you dont want this to happen no more i think you guys need to do the right think before posting craps on the news


@ these tickets will be moved to 7.0.2 - this bugs are not critical and requires a lot of time for debugging ...

@ AlexT

lol how long we have to wait for 7.0.2 because 7.0.1 take more than 2 months for nothing
prolaznik
my suggestion

- roll out an update once a month (if you guys manage to fix 15 or 5 tickets that's fine)
- provide only changed files (there's no need to install everything every time and start all over again) (i have about 12 sites on the server all test betas)
- wen bugs are discovered/provided by US members who spend to much time on testing this thing don't just ignore them (this bugs are not critical and requires a lot of time for debugging ...)

Thank you ;)

Maybe scrapping D7 and moving on would be best.

I think Boonex gave up on D7 a long time ago and all we are getting now (for the most part), is empty promises, lip service, and more waiting for days that never seem to come.

I had a suspicion long ago that D7 was more about selling the brand to another company than it was to create the NBT (as it was put many, many times).
I may be wrong in my suspicions, but even so - it sure looks like there was some other motive involved in all of the hype.

I see more am a non-premium member so my criticism doesn't count for much. Still, it really doesn't look to me like any-one else's opinions (or) criticism's count for much either. I'm not sure they ever did - looking back over the years.

The inconceivable question is why a company would get so close to the "prize" and then just drop the ball at the goal line - consistently. I don't get it. I probably never will. There is so much potential, but seemingly so little will behind it.

Thanks for the Beta. I won't be installing it. I just don't see the point and the comments here don't give me any hope that 7.01 is anything but a headache. Maybe you can pull this out of your hat, but it sure isn't looking like it right now.

Money follows success guys. You can't have success with half assed fixes to a script with half of its features pushed into the future from the start. All of the lies don't help either (whether intentional or unintentional).

You know all of this already though.

My parents had a saying...... "Sh*t, or get off the pot".

Very fitting right now.

Maybe scrapping D7 and moving on would be best. Even fixing 6.1x would be better than this.

*shakes head and goes to bed*

@ AlexT - sorry but this is not possible to work like that

caltrade mentioned the problem - we expected to see resolved this problem with the output of the D 7.0.1
because it is a basic function for any dating site - many of us - have dating sites

and you answer - " the improvement for multiple select field will be considered in future versions "

It's really disheartening to read your reply
