Dolphin 6.0.0005 and Ray 3.1.0001 Patches Released!

Due to necessity and based on your reports we have been thinking of releasing an additional HotFix for Ray. Also, we have collected and fixed a few glitches in Dolphin and Orca these days. So, finally the decision was made towards the release of a full patch for Dolphin, Ray and Orca Combo. The patch contains only fixes and improvements. It's not so big, so we hope it won't be too complicated to be applied.

So, about the fixes:

Ray*
- Bug with Video Recorder in Dolphin Administration panel. Fixed
- Video Player button visibility. Fixed
- Bug with Music files when saving them. Fixed.

Dolphin*
- Fix on Auto-activation of Flash objects in IE (thanks to MichelSwiss)
- Bug with sending messages (concerned with UTF encoding)
- Directives magic_quotes_runtime and magic_quotes_runtime are set to OFF (for those whose servers have them ON). Installation improvement.
- Check if mb_string functions are supported in PHP.

Orca*
- Topic/Post submission for not-registered members in Orca when Dolphin's "Free Mode" is Enabled. Fixed. (known as "stolen faces" problem Wink)
- Dolphin Header/Footer were generated incorrectly when having onload function defined in body tag. Fixed.
- Link to "My Presence" was giving 404 Not Found error. Fixed.

And now:

Download and Upgrade Full packaged patches (Dolphin+Ray+Orca)

Download and Upgrade Ray patch only

Please upgrade and leave your comments. If you have any questions or problems do not hesitate to contact me.

Best Regards,
VictorT.

P.S. We are moving forward heading up to a major release ;). But anyway we will be as active in the blogs as we can in spite of the development process.

Nice to see this out !! Will test this and will update you.

SUGGESTION: I think the join form page needs to be improved ! Each field must have a description.

Like Nickname field must have a description saying:

Must be unique from x to z characters long.

Etc. This is necessary. Ive seen so many members leave my site just bcs they get this stupid error ! They have to fill it again, and it only says ERROR ! DOES NOT TELL THEM WHICH FIELD CAUSED THE ERROR AND WHY ! THIS IS A MUST ! PLS DO SOMETHING !

Thankyou

To add this mod to your site please follow these instructions:
1. Open following file in text editor templates/base/_header.html.
Find following line:
<script src="inc/js/functions.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script>
And add this line after it:
<script src="inc/js/ie7_flash_fix.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script>

2. Download 6.0.0005 patch. Copy file inc/js/ie7_flash_fix.js from patch package to inc/js directory of your Dolphin.

That's all.
Regards.

Thx..

but there are some bugs.

Rating:
1. i can rate my profile.
2. everybody can rate all profiles (visitors)
3. they can rate thousand times

ZIP codes:
1. I think it is really necessary every other Community script has a database or extern-datanbase for ZIP codes....
By Dolphin it is hard.....

and as Saks said:
I think the join form page needs to be improved ! Each field must have a description.

I just upgraded to full packages patches on my site. It fixed Bug with Video Recorder in Dolphin Administration panel.

Suggestion: I think it will be very good if the next version can show EXIF META DATA on the Photo Gallery and we can categorize photo, video and music in each gallery.
Thanks for great software !

Hello.

I have already replied in your blog, but I will also comment here.

You should restore your backup and then apply the correct patch for SmartPro which can be downloaded here:

Great script though, thank you very very much.

Please, eliminate in following release a mistake with ffmpeg and FreeBSD! Ffmpeg still does not work with FreeBSD!
The mistake repeats each time, and till now is not eliminated. It stirs to distribution Dolphin on many a server and hostings. I heard already tens complaints, and itself I can сказатьь, that for me ffmpeg did not work on two hostings with FreeBSD!

Still the problem with display RSS is not eliminated. In news RSS from different suppliers get теги HTML. It spoils a kind of the main page.

RSS feeds must be in UTF-8 encoding. This is mandatory yet.
What about tags, they are converted using html special chars. This behavior will be changed in future version.

Petro38, Igor had fix that for me and this latest version broke the RSS. I went back to my backup and did a diff and found his fix. It was in file

inc>design.inc.php line 1296

<?= htmlspecialchars_adv( $oItem -> description ) ?>

replaced it with your prior fix of

<?= //htmlspecialchars_adv( $oItem -> description ) ?>
<?= ( $oItem -> description ) ?>

I did this and now my RSS are working fine, just like he had fixed it before.

SITE :abidjanspace.com crash,can't access both admin and the site itself .logon the site this what i have seen:

Somehow you lost scripts/BxTemplConfig.php file from your "CHR" template. If you accidentally deleted it, restore it from the template package. If you deleted the whole "CHR" template please open your inc/params.inc.php in editor, find this line:
$tmpl = 'chr';
and replace it with this:
$tmpl = 'uni';

It should help.

Regards.

Does any of the Dolphin developers come here at all?

There is an issue with the Ocra and FireFox
===================================
Try going to ocra with FireFox

I cannot believe that no one is paying attention to such a huge bug. All you can see in FireFox when you go to Ocra is a page a garbage.

Can a Dolphin developer at least let us know that you know about this.

================================
Some of the garbage
===============================
<div id="FloatDesc" style="position:absolute;display:none;z-index:100;"></div> <script src="AC_OETags.js" language="javascript"></script> <script src="pageear.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="http://www.aceautomobile.com/ray/modules/im/js/invite.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script> <div id="flcontainer" name="flcontainer" style="position:absolute;top:-9999px;left:0px;width:300px;height:200px;z-index:90;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
=====================================
Picture a page of this

Go here at my test site using FireFox

This is an issue of Orca with client-side xslt-transformation in Firefox. To enable server-side transformation you should configure (recompile) your PHP with following options: --enable-xslt --with-xslt-sablot OR --with-dom-xslt (for PHP 4) or --with-xsl (for PHP 5).

petch, thank you, now I know I am not crazy.

So is someone from the development crew of Dolphin going to say something. This may be an open source script but I have an ADFee version meaning someone made money from it. There should be a little more care here.

WOW!
