"6.0-To-6.1" Upgrade pack and Dolphin 6.1.1, Ray 3.5.1 Patches Released!

First, the long-awaited "6.0-To-6.1" Upgrade Pack is finally released. Feel free to upgrade your site, raise it to a higher level and boost your community with these new cool features. We are sure you'll want to take full advantage of this upgrade, so we warn you to please keep in mind this note before doing the upgrade:

Dolphin is now completely search-engine friendly. All content pages have friendly URLs, which dramatically improves your chances of becoming indexed by major search engines. This is a major improvement and should improve your traffic. Be careful with this one - Google may think that too many URLs have changed and may actually penalize your current site. So, we recommend putting permanent redirects from old URLs to the new ones to avoid problems. This may be shaky after the update, but in the long-term, or for a new setup - the new links bring a tremendous advantage.

Upgrade instructions and Diff


Second, as was previously announced, the first Dolphin 6.1.1 and Ray 3.5.1 Patches are released! We have made the corrections to Dolphin footer and Ray widgets regarding links removal. It is strongly recommended that you apply this patch. Along with these corrections we brought a set of bug fixes in Dolphin, Ray and Orca. 

Upgrade instructions and Diff

"SmartPro Upgrade (from 1.0.0005 to 2.0.1)" This is the link for upgrade from 6.0.0005 to 6.1.1 using SmartPro?, and can you chek the link please, because i'm trying to download but I get a empty file, thaks.

Hmmm...I have to reinstall my Ray Server and overwrite many files I have made LOTS of changes to ??

"general.css" for example...

I think I will let some other people do this first and report back. It is not clear by the initial post if it even removes the hidden boonie links (the circle with triangle in it at the top left of all Ray modules) as well as the video player and the music player, the Boonex banner that appears when you hit the Help button in Chat, etc...

You would think see more you could just replace some SWF files and be done...I don't have any footer problems.
VictorT
Yes, this patch takes care about the link to Unity in all widgets, as well as on the "Help" page in Chat in AdFree and SmartPro packages.

So, you have to apply the appropriate patches.

UPDATE:

I did exactly what I wrote above and just replaced the SWF files. I think I am good to go now :)

That was way easy and only took a couple of painless minutes !!

As far as I can tell, I am completely link free...If anyone can find any hidden boonies, please let me know.

A few more days of tweaking and testing and I am going to feature some prominent links on my "Tube" site and start to populate this sucker !!

Wonderful work on the dolphin upgrade...I think it is 10 times better than before, ...I hope this patch will take off the 'GO TO BOONEX HOME' link on the ray widgets.After we pay for the widgets it is very unfair to have a link that reveals the source of the script.If this patch does not do that ..Please give us back the old logoless Ray widgets..Thank you

I have upgraded to 6.1.1.

Problem:
I removed both 'Polls' and 'Boards' from homepage navigation menu, they show such in 'Pages Builder' Unfortunately they are showing on the homepage menu and elsewhere. How do I fix this?
Stuart038
'Polls' & 'Boards' was removed before the 6.1.1 upgrade and worked fine.
Stuart038
Ok, it seems to have fixed itself...

Thanks!
rknandigam
I have the same problem as Stuart038 mentioned above...:(
Stuart038
I went into Pages Builders and I put the poll file into the active section. I checked my site and then i went back into admin and removed polls. That seemed to fix it.

I hope this helps.
LeonidS
Hello!

If you have changed builders then you should recompile PageView.inc file (just move blocks in admin panel->builders_ section by moving any block here.

I now have a new problem as reported by Cron Jobs:

<br />
<b>Warning</b>: require_once(/home/xxxxx/public_html/inc/classes/BxDolEvents.php) [<a href='function.require-once'>function.require-once</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <b>/home/xxxxxx/public_html/inc/admin.inc.php</b> on line <b>30</b><br /> <br /> <b>Fatal error</b>: require_once() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: see more Failed opening required '/home/xxxxxx/public_html/inc/classes/BxDolEvents.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in <b>/home/xxxxxx/public_html/inc/admin.inc.php</b> on line <b>30</b><br />

My Bin directory is: usr/lib/php i.e. no /local/ folder

This is not a problem I had before the upgrade to 6.1.1

any help greatly appreciated.
LeonidS
Hello!

Plz specify does this problem repeat ? What time of mail with this error ? May be it was sent when you were trying to make upgrade ?

Because if you have inc/classes BxDolEvents.php file with 644 permissions then everythign should be fine.

Regards
AndreyP
Seems all Ok at your server .. when you got this error - periodically?
Ryan1127
Prior to patch:
IM sitting on connection screen forever (chat,etc. worked fine.)

After patch:
IM still not connecting, and now my chat is doing the same thing!

Can someone please help??
Stuart038
Hi, this event is repeating. This came in just now:

<br />
<b>Warning</b>: require_once(/home/xxxxx/public_html/inc/classes/BxDolClassifieds.php) [<a href='function.require-once'>function.require-once</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <b>/home/xxxxx/public_html/inc/admin.inc.php</b> on line <b>29</b><br /> <br /> <b>Fatal error</b>: require_once() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: see more Failed opening required '/home/xxxxx/public_html/inc/classes/BxDolClassifieds.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in <b>/home/xxxxxx/public_html/inc/admin.inc.php</b> on line <b>29</b><br />

Recheck existing
'inc\classes\BxDolEvents.php' of your dolphin
Stuart038
I have re checked and the BxDolEvents.php file seems to be ok. CHMOD is set to 644.

I have many mods in 6.0005 and it will take a few days to reinstall in 6.1 and test. So I would like to do a "practice upgrade" to a copy of the site using a snapshot of the database, then re-install my mods in 6.1. When tested, I need to shut down current site, reload database from 6.0005 site to 6.1 site, upgrade database, and make 6.1 site the live site.

But it looks like the upgrade script can only be run once. I need an "import" utility to pull 6.0005 database into see more 6.1 database after 6.1 site has all mods installed.

I would think my case is common. Is there a better approach?
AndreyP
About mods ..
Most part of Dolphin code has been re-written, so unfortunately modifications developped for Dolphin 6.0.005 won't be compatible with Dolphin 6.1, but you can merge changes (carefully - do not rewrite original files), and apply mod changes
annabel
Hey Rowland,

I encounter the same problem. Installed the 6.1 script from scratch (no upgrade from 6.0005) and now I'm stuck with the database.

What I am going to try is to import tables one by one, every time backing up my DB, so nothing gets lost.

And of course I still have a backup of my 6.00005 DB, so in the worst case I can go back and do the upgrade. Though that I really don't want to do, because I already had a lot of bugs in my database (security problems ?).

Victor told me that see more it's complicated to do it this way, but I'm going to try. If it works, I'm happy. If it doesn't .... I face a lot of work ... again.

SergeyZ
Hello phoobo!
We didn't find any problems with menu due to upgrade.
Please specify which patch did you use, "6.0 to 6.1.1" or "6.1 to 6.1.1" ?
If you feel some troubles please contact us at support@boonex.com.

Regards.

Is it safe to assume the complete free version on the download page is 6.1.1?
AndreyP
Yes, at download page now 6.1.1 (usually at download page only latests versions)
