Dolphin 6.1RC2 + Ray 3.5RC2. Polishing...

Wow these releases are moving fast..!

Overall Review Of The Online Demo So Far:

OMG…! WOW…! OMG…! This project has come so far…! The testing process with getting all of us involved has been great..! I have seen some of my recommendations for fixes and suggestions actually come to like and I know others can see that too. That’s great..! I am running a little behind as I took a few days off for my birthday. But I am going to download right now and install on my dedicated server and continue to play.

Love the new way the promo works. This really empowers the webmaster swap things up on the fly very easily. The only suggestion I would have for this is it would be nice to be able to associate a URL with any given promo image for maximum effectiveness of this promo are. For example a webmaster may have one of the promo images of say The Invite Your Friends mod that is out there and you want to point the members to that area. A webmaster also may be cross marketing with another site and want to be able to send members to another site.

Oh by the way. The admin side page builders OMG..! That is kick but looking…! I am however still not sure how to add a new page and actually create content for that page and publish it. Or maybe what I am thinking only belongs in the articles section. Not sure.

The Hacker Safe Symbol is HUGE………! I can’t think of a better way to make your future members feel good about signing up with your Hacker Safe site instead of a competing site that is not Hacker Safe. FIVE STARS FOR THIS ONE… *****


Here Are My Review Notes So Far:

Front End Search:

Members > Search >Couples When the search results are returned for couples from this point the short description only lists the Male and the Males Age. There is no information about the other half of the couple for some reason. I know I pointed this out in the Alpha and the Beta versions. This is also happening in Ray Chat & Messenger. Basically if you’re a couple you are appearing in search results with on the short description of one half of the couple.

Members > Search >Single then either don’t select a country or select a country that has a lot members the returned search results feels very slow. Same is true if you check Single and either Male or Female. If I narrow the search by putting an age range or return result with photos this speeds up. But I think the reason the speed for say all Males or All Females or if you had a lot of Couples is so slow is because the search results is trying to drop all the members it finds into a single page instead of only returning say the first 20 and then have to click on a page for the next to. Keep in mind the larger a site becomes the more this will become a serious problem if the results are not limited to a certain amount per page. In addition, you want to keep in mind if we have elected to use the zip code option for search we also want to return the starting with the members closest to the zip entered or the member doing the searches zip code.

Members > Search >Couples Then check on Male box the search results returns all couples. However if I Choose Couples and then check the box for Female the search results returns no couples. It seems to me the search is tied to the male and not treating the profile as a couple for some reason.

Front End SEO Stuff:
Members > Online> This link is not SEO Friendly http://www.boonex.us/search.php?online_only=1

Front End Home Page:
Left side of the home page where the Profile Bock is if you Huber your mouse over any of the photos you will see the link to those photos are not SEO for example you will see that this link to this profile photo looks like this ajaysanhotra http://www.boonex.us/photos_gallery.php?ID=6251&photoID=2366

Front End Blogs:
Blogs > Then navigate to any members blog and you will see that every blogs Page Title for the blog says My Blog instead of Members Name Blog. The problem with the current approach is that Google and many other bots will look at your community as it grows as having a ton of pages that all start with the same thing such as My Blog.

Front End Groups:
Groups>Activities>Fish Tank> Then if you Huber your mouse over the image or link to the group gallery you will see that they are not SEO http://www.boonex.us/grp.php?action=gallery&ID=64

Front End Classifieds:
Classifieds>Cars For Sale>All the sub categories Page Titles start with the word “Filter:” and then list the category. Better to drop that Filter: part so that each category is begins unique. Then click on any of the ads and observer that Pages Title. They all say “Offer Details” Once again we are telling the search bots don’t look any further or care much about these pages as they are all kind of the same. Looks bad in the bots eyes. http://www.boonex.us/ads/entry/DX-Corolla-WAgom the Title For that page should be the listing title “DX Corolla WAgom “ After all that is what the page is about right?

Front End Events:
Events>Calendar This link to this page is not SEO http://www.boonex.us/events.php?action=calendar

Front End Forums:
Forums> Should that root Page Title say Orca? Not sure maybe this is something to do with how it was titled in the admin side. As long as its changeable. But I don’t want my competition getting any kind of indication of what products I am using.

Front End Articles:
Articles>When navigating to an article category or an individual article none of the Page Titles change to represent that category and/or article.

As a suggestion sometimes the fastest way to find those pesty little non SEO links is to use a good Search Engine Bot Simulator. Then you can quickly look at the URL List as well as the titles and patterns that match those URLs because trust me when I say this the Google’s of the word. One of the things I always try and tell people is “ Become the Bot. See as if you were the bot” Bottom line is in the completive net we have today you have to do everything you can to make sure you get found. You can have the best site in the world but if nobody ever finds you then your site is not a success. You can have the ugliest site in the world and if everyone finds you then you are a success. Craigslist.org is an example of that jut go and check out their Alexia Rankings. But its nice if you can have both.

Yes I spend a lot of time understanding and testing Organic Search and have even been guest speaker at internet conferences as well as I have been part of Google’s Fedex club. Google even sends me Christmas presents every year and sometimes special Google stuff for my birthday. I know there are some of you out there that know what I am talking about and for those that don’t sorry… Got to be in the club to understand.

The only other thing I would suggest from an SEO perspective is to take all the general links that are at the very TOP and the very Bottom such as these and put a no follow tag on them or come up with a different way so Google and others pay no attention to those pages compared to the ones you want them to.

Because these kinds of pages are normally of no importance for SEO search however just about every webmaster out there forgets that you are losing or leaking PR over on these pages as they are on every single page of the site and most algorithms factor this in for scoring. And think about it if those links are on every page you are telling a bot these pages must be very important. They are but not for search results. Better to distribute your PR on pages that matter the most so they rank higher.

Admin Side:
CC Bill: I notice I click on the payment provider instructions it says “No Instructions Available Yet” Does CC Bill work and has it been tested yet. I also noticed it looks like it has no recurring support. The reason this is so important to so many people is that CC Bill is the only payment provider you have in your list that will support any kind of adult related payment collection. Some people will try and use payment providers like PayPal but if they find out according to their agreements you could lose the $$ they have collected. Also most adult or even community sites do need recurring payment support as you don’t want to try and chase your members down to collect all the time.

Okey Dokey Folkes That Is All I Have For Tonight as its 4:30AM here.

Things are looking Great………………………………………!

Good Night

Zorro………………………………………………………………………

Looking good over here!

One thing I have yet to see is the new Comments System. I've created an account and yet there seems to be none. How can I see how it functions before I even think about fixing it for my heavily modded site lol :/

i hope the adfree is coming soon!! when u think?

I notice still not categories for videos. Otherwise this version is looking awesome.

ADFREE PLEASE

very nice. I would like to recommend a few things that could make it better.

1. admin-add meta and description. Many softwares has a function that lets you add different meta info for different pages.

2. admin-banner. Many other softwares has a function that let you choose which pages you want the banner to appear on.

3. include create and send postard

Can someone please explain what's new with the Promo Block? The admin interface appears identical to that of .0005

What to say :( ray don't like Greek.
It is Greek to it :(
Andrey the problem is still there.

I know that this was not planed for this revision but realy i don't understand what is the matter with it.

In a glance i saw one more tiny problem (i had seen it and in the rc1) in admin/profile.php when you press: add a new profile the link does not do what it had to do... (in admin environment).
The message you get is:
Profile not specified

Ecards would be nice

how to update 6.1 b2 to 6.1 rc2

Ray Community Widget Suite administration panel Loading error

Sorry works now

I have make a new orca post but the the forum rss boxes on index and profile page only shows the loading image all the time.

Ray Chat says loading loading loading. Than i have set rms off and same problem. Loading whole time. Licenses are insert succesfull.

Wheres the problem? On boonex demo it works.

Here is my demo http://www.ac-dating.de/610rc2/index.php

Would like all the music to stay on top and let me check up on other things at the same time.

New 6.1 is looking great. I noticed in the demo that under "all members" / "browse profiles" there is no option to search for "couples" profiles only male and female.

Nice job.

When Admin has no poll and user click on admin tab in polls box this error appears.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getblockcode_sitepolls() in /var/www/vhosts/ac-dating.de/httpdocs/610rc2/templates/base/scripts/BxBaseIndex.php on line 770

its great that there is option to add couple profile, but there should be also option to add some team profile with more than only two profiles

badly all other themes not work!!!!!

ok cool! but what is going to happen with the still remaining 87 task in the trac of the version 6.1??

http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&milestone=6.1&order=status

I really hope in this version the Multimedia Limits with Ray WORKS, because in my Dolphin6.003+Ray3.0 (AdFree) when I set the limit for Shared Multimedia - Its NOT works and Each of the members has possibility to add too many files. I have users with 50+ video files (when the limits are set to five) and thats really makes me mad!
By the way: anyone here knows how I can set the limit of these files and save some hard disk space? Where is my wrong? I use rms.boonex.com ? May be I need my own RMS? PLEASE Help me? Is that bug of D6 versions?

Problem wid editor box on mobile devices and opera mobile browser... In earlier dolphin versions...it used to show a simple editor box without edit buttons...but now there is no edit box...the editting buttons but the box is not displayed as an edit box. So we can't enter anything on pages like write new mail...
Hope it wud be fixed soon...

I have a question about orca forum
I would like to change the way it looks, but I cant, after installation, change the graphics, or access the css files. Where can I change this so I can get the forum to look like the rest of my site???

get better and better thank you.

still some bugs
creating an event and if you do not have 50 symbols in description, then the error is coming telling not enough symbols and stays , you cannot change /add anything.

creating an event from within the admin give a database error.

This is great!

But i have one suggestion, something i been waiting for you guys to think about..lol
You know how the rays have adds on the free version . It would be cool if you leave that as an option on the add free version, but this time the user could add their own adds. That will bring us more revenue from adsence. =) thank you

crap!! why not release good version pfff

i have 100% working SMS/MMS script Ecard and gamescript (300games) for dolphin! pm me

Hello I had problem to contact someone else (member) by the chat (profile-Chat Now) using Firefox. I tested at the same time with ie and I could connect.

any idea about this chat issue?

Hello I also tested it with my Job pc at the same time and I had the same issue.

also in it not available in articles and news..

Sorry for asking thus dumb question, but why don't you release patches to upgrade between those betas and RCs? I have a site that runs on 6.1b2 (not a production site, of course, just a site) and there were bugs indeed; and I certainly would like to _upgrade_ this site to the new version - but there is no way!

BUG FOUND.... i still cant get this to work.

Dropdown Selections fields have "_" added.
and dont pic up the default selection.

When creating a New Text Selection Field.
for example:

Marital Status:
Single
Married
Divorced

and a new drop down selection field is created.
in the join form is days "Select It" instead of showing the Default, like it did in earlier versions, like Dolphin 5.2.

And in the profile is says _divorced
with the "_" infront of it on the join page and on the profile page.

Please test this on www.totalbabemagnet.com

The Marital Status field is a Selection - Drop Down Field.

...
Other than that..... Awesome New Version!! :D

P.s: a way to make the "Tags" the pages Metatag Keywords easily would be cool (possibly i've missed how thats done)

Its a great script, but one very importent missing is that there are not categories for videos. Please make it so I make my super social website.

when I set video upload to 100 mb I stil get error with text "you can only upload not more then 2 mb" when I wanted to upload a bigger video then 2 mb.

I keep playing around on these demos and i never can figure out how to put the css code in to where i can make my profiles be like my-space. This is my main attraction to dolphin, i want my members to be able to do this. cant you just program the blocks in the program so if someone wants it. then it will be there for them to use. and if not they don't have to use it.

The HTML Page builder looks like a much needed feature! So far it doesn't seem to work though - when I drag an HTML Text block to a column, it won't "stick" - it just floats back to the All Items area. Bug or just not finished?

Very very nice improvements, great job Boonex. One suggestion....I think the ability to have Photo Albums is very important, and also to be able to upload multiple photos simultaneously. Also as a couple users have stated, video categories. Will these features be added in the future?

when is new version coming?
